Twilight Franchise to End in 2011

Oh noes! So soon?
WorstPreviews reports:
Summit Entertainment is looking to complete its "Twilight" film series sooner rather than later. With "New Moon" now filming in Vancouver and its sequel "Eclipse" already deep in the planning stages, an individual close to the production revealed that work on the fourth and final film in the series, "Breaking Dawn," will start in late Spring 2010.
The franchise is trying to avoid the "Harry Potter" films, which is why the second installment will be released in November, the third installment will be released in June of 2010, and the fourth installment will likely appear in theaters in November of 2011. Summit originally planned to stretch out the series through 2013.
There are only four "Twilight" books and unless author Stephenie Meyer somehow prolongs the franchise, the whole thing should be over in just two years.
Note that Breaking Dawn is mentioned. So far, the script has not been written, says screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg. [Thanks, Twilight Lex!]

The Daily Beast Interviews Catherine Hardwicke

10 years after twilight , director Catherine Hardwicke opens up to The Daily Beast on new details on the film, some we've never known before. Ten years ago, the Twilight film franchise was an unknown quantity. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight, was surrounded by film executives who all but expected the vampire flick to fail. “Nobody thought this is a big, blockbuster franchise,” Hardwicke tells the Daily Beast. “There were very low expectations for Twilight, because every other studio had turned it down. They said, OK, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a very popular book for girls, and it made $39 million. That’s it. We don’t know if this could ever make us any more than that, so we don’t really want to spend more than that. The expectations were low literally up to opening weekend.” “Why do you think I got the job?” she laughs now. “Why do you think they hired a female director?
