The execs at Summit are still trying to figure out whether or not to split up the Twilight finale Breaking Dawn into two parts, and the primary factor affecting that decision is the budget. If there are two films, we'll be seeing a lot more Robsten (yay!), but the studio will have to pay with huge salary bumps for everyone involved in the production.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are joining forces to negotiate substantial raises for the final two films, which is very reminiscent of what the Friends cast did back in the day to garner hefty salaries. Though nothing is official, the Sun-Times reports that the three stars are "likely to be able to demand paychecks well into eight figures for the next two films." Wowzer! These kids will never have to work again!
One or two films for the finale?
