The good news is, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and director Bill Condon plan to be faithful to the book when shooting Bella’s childbirth scene for the movie version of Breaking Dawn.

Or wait, is that bad news?

However Twilight fans might feel about the gruesome scene with Kristen Stewart’s character, the screenwriter and director see little point in toning it down for the big screen. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a huge gorefest.

“We’re working on it. And we’re working on it to be as intense as it is in the book,” screenwriter Rosenberg tells E! Online.

Rosenberg has long felt that the scene shouldn’t be sidelined for the movie. But the priority for her and Condon is the emotional intensity of it.

“I don’t think it’s about the amount of blood you show,” she says. “It’s on their faces. It’s all from Bella’s point of view when you’re seeing what’s going [on]. It should feel visceral. I think it’s going to be pretty intense.”

Rosenberg and Condon have been working on script rewrites for the two Breaking Dawn movies of late. Asked when they might finish the scripts, Rosenberg replies: “It better damn well be before the beginning of November, because that’s when we start shooting.”

Breaking Dawn Unsafe to Film

He plays a blood sucking vampire in the Twilight movies, but filming the latest installment may prove too dangerous even for Robert Pattinson. RadarOnline.com has learned that while the cast has been waiting to sink their teeth into the final movie, the unsafe location may delay or even cancel some of the shooting.

Pattinson, along with Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were due to start filming The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn – Part 2 in Brazil within the next few weeks.

But due to last week’s violence in Rio De Janeiro where 35 civilians were taken hostage and one killed, police reportedly are urging Summit Entertainment to rethink their schedule.

But when asked about the dangers, a spokesman for the film company dodged the bullet.

“The possibility of filming portions of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN in Brazil has always been under consideration and we are continuing to scout locations within the country.”

Summit Entertainment confirmed today that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN 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 TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN will start production in the Fall.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

All Twilight fans must have known by now that the final Twilight installment, “Breaking Dawn” will be directed by none other than Oscar winning director Bill Condon. He is the man behind the Oscar nominated movie “Dreamgirls” and who wrote the screenplay for Oscar-winning movie “Chicago”.

With the huge success of the first two Twilight series, Summit entertainment was able to rope in the famous director hoping that he might be able to take the franchise to new heights with his talent and expertise. And it’s definitely a big opportunity for the Twilight stars, namely Robert Pattinson Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, to hone their acting skills.

But Bill Condon is already impressed by their star power and has lauded the trio in his blog post on FaceBook , he wrote: “I’m a huge admirer of the already-iconic Kristen, Robert, and Taylor, and wanted to be the one to work with them as they face the challenges of bringing your beloved characters to the end of their journeys. Really, what could be more fun than that?

The director also mentioned that he is “stoked” about the Twilight project and that he has done is homework by reading “Breaking Dawn” twice, and watching the previous installments two to three times.

A Summit Entertainment spokesperson has confirmed to HitFix that “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” will open nationwide on Nov. 18, 2011. It’s still officially unknown if “Dawn” will be broken up into one or, as rumored, two films. Stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are all expected to return.

Directed by Oscar-winner Bill Condon, the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s popular series chronicles Bella’s most advanced initiation into the vampire world to date, but is also seen by many as the most difficult to adapt of all the best-selling novels. Melissa Rosenberg, who adapted the first two novels, would continue in that role for “Dawn.”

“Breaking Dawn” will face off against “Happy Feet 2″ and the Hugh Jackman Sci-Fi thriller “Real Steel.” Even with the lucrative Thanksgiving weekend the following week, expect at least one of these films to move their release date to avoid going head-to-head with the “Twilight” franchise.

The third movie in the series, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” will debut in theaters on June 30 nationwide and in IMAX.
