The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pulls Out of Brazil

Bella and Edward will no longer honeymoon in Brazil
Bella and Edward will no longer honeymoon in Brazil
In the final chapter of Stephenie Meyer's hugely successful vampire romance novel series The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, newly weds Bella and Edward head to Brazil for their honeymoon. Director Bill Condon had planned to shoot these scenes on location for his upcoming adaptation of the book The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, but now it doesn't look like he wants to bring cast members Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson into the country.

In a story from The Daily Fill, it seems that a hostage situation in Rio has the producers too nervous to shoot there. While scenes were originally scheduled to take place in Brazil, a drug gang who had taken 35 tourists hostage at the Intercontinental Hotel in Rio de Janeiro has changed their minds. Now, the production is scrambling to find a new place to shoot these important moments from the upcoming film.

The hostage situation ended in a blaze of gunfire that took one person's life, and injured six others. The gang eventually surrendered, but there were at least 1,550 tourists in the hotel at the time, and the situation was not deemed an isolated incident. Producers of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 decided not to shoot within the country simply because they don't want to put their stars in any kind of danger.

At this time, Rio officials are lobbying to have Summit Entertainment still shoot in the city despite recent events.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 was released November 18th, 2011 and stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Billy Burke, Anna Kendrick, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone. The film is directed by Bill Condon.

    I'm not a big fan of the Twilight series in anyway,I've seen the movies and get a good laugh.But these movies are for teen girls who lack the brain capacity to see through horrible bullsh*t.Hence the popularity of this series.Also.If you look at the messages its sending to said teen girls,Stephenie Meyer should re-write the series.Because now stupid teen girls the world over are looking for either their version of Edward or Jacob a.k.a the perfect guy.All thats going to matter is beauty.The guy could be a drunk and beat the sh*t outta them and they wouldnt care as long as he was beautiful.

    I'm so pissed right now, who do you think you are to hide the truth like that? Do you ready newspaper at all? What happened in Rio was the police doing their job, trying to catch bad guys and they hid on the hotel. The woman who die was in the gang and nobody else got hurt. Who would be stupid enough to stay in that hotel anyway? its not even in the good part of the city! I can start pointing the crimes that happen in the US as well, see your own country problems before talking about other countries.
