Ashley Greene of New Moon Fuels 2-Part Breaking Dawn Rumor by Larson Hill
Although New Moon fever continues to sweep the globe in its second Twilight week at the box office, the promo push for New Moon was in full force in the days leading up to the Twilight Saga sequel, as Ashley Greene also did her part to help put New Moon over the top.
With New Moon still atop the box office, Entertainment Weekly sat down with Twilight Saga actress Ashley Greene days before the release of New Moon to see what the Twilight vampire had to say about New Moon. In the EW interview, Ashley Greene revealed that her closest friend in the New Moon cast is Kellan Lutz, who Greene says was a friend for five years before the Twilight Saga craze. With New Moon surprising everyone at the box office, Ashley Greene also mentioned that the Twilight fan response to New Moon has greatly increased since Greene did press for Twilight.
Looking ahead to the remaining Twilight Saga films beyond New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, EW asked Ashley Greene who she would like to see direct Breaking Dawn. Interestingly, unlike responses to the same Twilight question from Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene would like to see a new spin. "I just went to MoMA [NYC's Museum of Modern Art] and they were honoring Tim Burton, and I saw a whole compilation of his films and artwork and I just think he’s an extraordinary artist. I think it’d be really cool to have his spin on it, because it’s a very odd book, there’s some very weird moments. He would actually put a really weird and cool twist on it."
However, the most significant Twilight Saga comment from Ashley Greene about Breaking Dawn speaks to the rumors of Breaking Dawn being split into two parts. "And if we could do it the right way," Greene told Entertainment Weekly, "it’d be great to have two films. You definitely want to get all the important parts in there and you know how hardcore and passionate the fans are about it, so one might be difficult and there would be something left out. So if we could do it right, it’d be great to have two films."
Tell us what you think. Will Breaking Dawn be split into two parts?
