While the where, how many, when is all still huish hush or undecided there is one other intereting thing we learned this morning.... Stephenie Meyer will be a producer for Breaking Dawn.
Stephenie Meyer is listed as one of the Producers for Breaking Dawn. This would be a great thing in my opinion since she created this world, giving her even more creative control and supervision of the project should ensure it is the best it can be for fans.
However, there is a possible downside to having Stephenie Meyer as producer... She has strictly enforced the rating of the movie to allow her younger fans to be able to enjoy them, fair enough.... We've seen recently that even a PG-13 rating can get hot... but as a friend said last night "Stephenie Meyer is a total cock-block"
It's true... I fear she will not let the steamy love get steamy enough or the intense scenes get intense enough.....so though I am glad she has more control creatively in getting Breaking Dawn right... I hope the other producers and team can push the steaminess on her... Remember Steph, they are married now, they can get hot & steamy on the honeymoon ;)
Here is the press release:

I appreciate Stephenie's decision to make the movies apropriate for younger fans. A movie can be hot without showing too much skin. Personally, I found Twilight a lot more exciting than some PG13 films I've seen.
These books were not written for 12 and 13 year olds!!! They wait until they are married so let's get on with the honeymoon! Doesn't have to be a porn scene but we definitely need to see the headboard BEING broken...
