Web rumors fly about status of final film

Might the fourth "Twilight" film not see light of day?

Over the past two days, rumors have flown about whether a film version "Breaking Dawn," the final book in the human-loves-vampire series, is already in some stage of pre-production.

"The most I've heard from Summit is 're-read it and start thinking about it,'" "Twilight" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg told EW.com's Hollywood Insider.

Now sources say author Stephenie Meyer is wrestling with how the book can possibly be adapted for the target tween audience, considering its more mature subject matter.

(Spoilers ahead for "Breaking Dawn.")

In the final book, Edward and Bella's half-vampire baby threatens her life in utero, prompting debates about the sanctity of life and the possibility of abortion. On top of that, Jacob and his Wolf Pack see the unborn child as a danger to the world in general and plan to kill Bella in order to destroy the baby. Also complicating matters is that the vampire high council also want Bella and the child dead rather than having either accidentally reveal the existence of vampires.

Fans of the series can ride out the storm with "New Moon" this November and "Eclipse," the third movie in the series, sometime next year.
