The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn is the fourth and final book in the series. Wyck Godfrey told the LA times that filming is set to commence in autumn 2010 shortly after the release of the third film in the series Eclipse.

At least, not always. Films that studios allocate ridiculously bloated publicity budgets to are not always likely to be showered in glowing reviews and critical acclaim. Here we chronicle 2009’s most hyped films, some of which delivered and some that blew up in the studios’ faces big time.

What are you more tired of, the phrase ‘Tim Burton and Johnny Depp’ or the words ‘vampire movie’? We’re not sure either, but for better or for worse, it would appear that we’re going to be hearing a lot more of both.

Hold on, you Pattinson-thirsty blood feasters. This isn’t about extending the Twilight saga itself, we’re afraid. Instead, it’s more about extending the money roll-in of this cinematic phenomenon.

Obviously not content with being the anaemic lustful object of every girl on the planet, Twilight star Robert Pattinson has revealed that he is set to play opposite Uma Thurman in Bel..

There are some things in life that you hype up to such a ridiculous extent, there’s no way they’re going to live up to your expectations. The media frenzy surrounding New Moon ensured there was very little chance it would live up to expectations, and surprise, surprise, it doesn’t. Golden Compass director Chris Weitz places the film squarely in cheesy superhero blockbuster territory with exaggerated special effects and embarrassingly corny love scenes. The only bright spot on the horizon is newcomer Taylor Lautner, who brings a surprising amount of warmth and likeability to the role of Jacob Black.

Uma Thurman will be the envy of every teenage girl across the world. She’s just landed a role alongside everyone’s favourite vampire Robert Pattinson, in a film called Bel Ami…

It’s hard to talk objectively about Twilight without getting absorbed in the somewhat frightening teen-girl hype that has surrounded first the books, then the movies. Stephenie Meyer’s four-book series about a young girl caught in a love triangle between a vampire and a werewolf (a problem all of us can certainly relate to on some level) raced up the bestseller lists faster than publishers could say ‘Harry Potter’.
