While buzz for New Moon continues to heat up the Internet, new reports state that the big screen version of Breaking Dawn might not be too far away, either.
Summit Entertainment is reportedly hoping to complete its Twilight franchise sooner than expected.
"With the sequel to the blockbuster hit New Moon now filming in Vancouver and its sequel, Eclipse, already deep in the planning stages, an individual close to the production has told The Wrap that work on the fourth and final in the series, Breaking Dawn, will start in late spring 2010," sources told The Wrap.

Mark Millar, the creator of the Wanted graphic novel and a producer on its upcoming sequel, recently spoke out on the project.
"As a producer on the thing, I'm excited," he wrote on his message board, adding: "I know who's in it and after doing 342 million at the box office we have [serious] money to spend on everything from cast to crew to script."
Regarding Evan Spiliotopoulos, who will write the sequel's script, Millar said: "This guy is supposed to be really good. He did a GREAT action script recently (on an unproduced movie) and that's what got him this."
We're still a year away from the release of Iron Man 2, but as he shoots the highly-anticipated sequel, Robert Downey Jr. is opening up about the blockbuster.

"The set pieces have to do with things that aren't your typical bad guy conflict. The relationships are very complex and hilarious," the actor that stars as Tony Stark said. "The motivations Tony has and why he turns around and does things has completely to do with his own internal processes... we're kind of trying to tell a story about how a dysfunctional family saves life on Earth as we know it."
Downey Jr. also confirmed that Garry Shandling has joined the cast to play a Senator.

The Lovely Bones is a best-selling novel by Alice Sebold. In it, teenager Susie Salmon watches from heaven as her family collapses after her brutal murder.
Doesn't exactly sound like an uplifting tale, does it?
Tell that to director Peter Jackson, who emailed USA Today this week to discuss his big screen adaption of the book.
"I found the book to be curiously optimistic," Jackson wrote. "I felt inspired by Susie's struggle to come to terms with her own death. In the face of overwhelming grief, she finds hope. She holds on to love, and by doing so, she transcends the horror of her murder.
It's hard to make him out, but Stanley Tucci stars as George Harvey, who kills Susie (Saoirse Ronan), in the movie version of The Lovely Bones.
