Pel over at our Elite Affiliates Twilight Lexicon has had the great opportunity to work on the Breaking Dawn Column that has debued over at Movies . com.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn just wrapped filming in late April. The film will be split into two parts with part 1 coming out on November 18, 2011 and part 2 slated for November 16, 2012. Filming of both parts took place concurrently in a wide array of locations from Brazil to Vancouver with a cast that more than tripled in size. Fortunately, from the fan standpoint, this sizable casting only reflects new additions to the Twilight Saga franchise. The main cast members that comprise the Cullen family, the wolf pack, and the Volturi coven will all return. This is a refreshing change for fans. Both the second and third movies in the franchise hit casting speed bumps that resulted in negative fan reaction. Taylor Lautner had to fight to maintain his role in The Twilight Saga: New Moon by bulking up physically, and by proving that he could pull off a scarier and more mature characterization than his previous good-guy, boy-next-door persona. Lautner luckily managed to win over the producers and was retained in the films. On the other hand, not everyone has been so lucky. In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse the pivotal role of Victoria was recast with Bryce Dallas Howard replacing Rachelle Lefevre after what amounted to a dispute over coordinating outside projects.

With The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1, fans of the Saga will finally get the payoff that many of them have been waiting for: the wedding and honeymoon of Edward and Bella, played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Director Bill Condon filmed the honeymoon sequences in Brazil. Just about the only scenes fans were able to observe were the ones shot on the streets of Rio and in the harbor area. Pattinson and Stewart as their characters were seeing kissing and cuddling take after take. As the debate among some fans as to the status of their off-screen relationship rages on, the one thing that has remained clear is that The Twilight Saga films’ success have largely rested on their onscreen chemistry.

No one knows exactly where the two films will be split, but common thought is that it will take place shortly after the infamous birth scene. This likely limits new cast members appearing in the first film to the members of the Denali coven. Coven leader Eleazar will be played by Christian Camargo, and Mia Maestro will play his wife, Carmen. The coven will be rounded out by the beautiful Denali sisters portrayed by Maggie Grace (Irina), Casey LaBow (Kate), and MyAnna Buring (Tanya). Photos released by Summit Entertainment show these new cast members dressed to the nines at Bella and Edward’s wedding .
