Twilight's Breaking DawnTo Begin Filming In 2010 It's been one of the biggest questions surrounding Summit Entertainment's uber-successful "Twilight" franchise(apart, of course, from whether stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson really are a couple off-screen) -- just how the producers are going to manage to pull off a big-screen adaptation of "Breaking Dawn." The fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's juggernaut of a young adult fiction series about the epic love affair between high school student Bella Swan and her good-guy vampire beau Edward Cullen has plenty of heft, clocking in at upward of 750 pages, but it also has the distinction of being the most controversial entry in the saga. When it was released in August 2008, fan reaction was intense and divided with some "Twi-hards" expressing confusion and dismay over a plot that involved *SPOILER ALERT* a recently graduated 19-year-old Bella giving birth to a half-human/half-vamp daughter

Please don't air that." Please Leave A Comment- Source- comingsoon

Fox has picked up "Factor" for the fall of 2011, when "Idol" is on hiatus.
