Just in from Summit:

Summit Entertainment’s THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN will be filmed in both Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Vancouver over the next year starting this fall. The next chapter of THE TWILIGHT SAGA will be released as two separate films with the first of the two slated to be released in theatres on November 18, 2011.

Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct both films starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner along with Billy Burke as Charlie Swan as well as returning members of the Cullen Family including Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme, Jackson Rathbone as Jasper, Nikki Reed as Rosalie, Ashley Greene as Alice and Kellan Lutz as Emmett.

The project, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg with Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt and Stephenie Meyer producing.

The third film in the franchise, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, is currently in theatres.

As just tweeted by the official WTTR twitter:

We’ve been waiting so long for this – we can’t wait to see it! Make sure to follow @Welcome2Rileys and us too to find out when it goes live!

Totals are in from the six-day box office for “Eclipse”:

No record? No worries.

Vampires still basked in the rockets’ red glare during the weekend, as Summit Entertainment threequel “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” rung up a bloody good $82.5 million in domestic boxoffice during the four-day Independence Day frame.

But though “Eclipse” soared to $175.3 million in cumulative boxoffice since unspooling on Wednesday, that was overshadowed by the $178.9 million that franchise predecessor “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” sunk its teeth into during its first six days in release last November.

Also, Sony’s “Spider-Man 2″ used a Wednesday-through-Monday bow during 2004’s July 4th weekend to register $180.1 million during its first six days in the marketplace.

With the latest “Twilight” installment’s production costs estimated at a modest $68 million, “Eclipse” already is well into a profitable orbit. But it will be interesting to see how high it can fly after notable drops in daily grosses following fan-fueled sellouts during the pic’s first day of performances.

“This has been a great way to spend the Fourth of July weekend, that’s for sure,” Summit distribution topper Richie Fay enthused. “If there was a surprise, it was how big the first midnight showings were. Quite frankly, we didn’t know what to expect with the Wednesday opening.”

How many of you are possibly camping out?!

Thanks to fiercebitchstew for the heads up. Congrats to Kristen!

Looks as if Kristen Stewart is going On the Road. And not just because she is doing publicity for the latest Twilight film, Eclipse, opening June 30.

As she told USA TODAY’s Susan Wloszczyna today while in Chicago for an Oprah taping, “I am very much attached to a movie that has been trying to get made forever. Not that this is going to help it, but maybe I can just brag a little bit. I am super excited about it, too. I am about to play Marylou in On the Road. So that’s a big deal.”

Filmmakers including Francis Ford Coppola and Gus Van Sant have struggled for years to bring Jack Kerouac’s classic 1957 tale of disaffected members of the Beat Generation to the big screen. Tron: Legacy’s Garrett Hedland will play the confused drifter Dean Moriarity with Stewart as his young wife and British actor Sam Riley (Control) as his traveling pal, Sal. Brazilian director Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) will direct. Filming is expected to start this summer.
