A major rumor making waves over the past twenty-four hours claims that the second part of Breaking Dawn “will be released in 3-D.”

Similar reports surfaced last spring.

Once again, they are false.

The site behind the claim, which warns visitors not to “fall for any casting scams,” is itself questionable.

A rep for Summit tells Gossip Cop, “Neither film is being shot in 3D,” and calls the rumors “fabricated.”

And a source informs Gossip Cop that while 3D effects can be added during post-production (as they have with some recent releases), right now it is too premature to say whether either part of Breaking Dawn will be converted.

While this news is unconfirmed by Summit Entertainment, VideoETA is claiming that 'Eclipse will be released onto DVD and Blu-Ray on Saturday, December 4th. They also have posted previews of the DVD covers.

For Twilight fans, Christmas is going to come a few weeks early this year. Summit announced today that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third movie in the highly popular teen vampire/werewolf saga, will be available on DVD and Blu-ray on December 4, 2010.

In keeping with the successful release strategies of the first two movies, Summit will be releasing Eclipse on a non-traditional release day and will hype the release with a special midnight availability. So, whether you're Team Edward or Team Jacob, one thing both camps can agree upon is that they'll be staying up late on Friday December 3 to make sure they are the first ones to own the latest offering.

Summit will be releasing two versions in both DVD and Blu-ray formats. There will be a movie only version ($28.99 DVD / $34.99 Blu-ray suggested retail) and a feature-laden 2 Disc Special Edition ($32.99 DVD / $40.99 Blu-ray suggested retail). The 2 Disc Special Edition Blu-ray will also be a combo pack containing both DVD and Blu-ray versions of the film.

'I'm impressed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison pulling it off,' director says, confirming she was in talks to helm the 'Twilight' finale.

While the "Breaking Dawn" director's chair for both parts 1 and 2 is officially occupied by Bill Condon, "Twilight" fans know that there were several other high-profile names attached to the project before Condon signed on.

Among them was "Lost in Translation" and "Marie Antoinette" director Sofia Coppola. When we caught up with the writer/director to discuss her upcoming Chateau Marmont-set film, "Somewhere," we asked her if there was any truth to the "Dawn" director rumors.

"Yeah, yeah, I talked to them about that," Coppola revealed to MTV News. "I was interested in doing something but I didn't end up doing it. But I love, I'm impressed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison pulling it off in that whole story," she said. "And my friend's kids love the story so much that I thought it would be fun to make something that they love so much."

Asked what she liked best about the blockbuster vampire franchise, Coppola admitted she goes weak in the knees for romance.

"I just love that it's so romantic," she told us. "I'm always a sucker for a love story and also to do something for teenagers, because I feel like, why not have beautiful cinematography and all these things in a kid movie? Usually it looks like it's not crafted very sophisticated, and I feel like it'd be nice to bring that kind of style into a younger film."

Perhaps the studio heads can line up Coppola for the talked-about film version of the "Eclipse" novella, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner"?

Summit Entertainment announced on their Twilight Saga Facebook Page that this Friday only, they will be re-releasing 'Eclipse' in select movie theaters in celebration of Bella Swan's birthday:

In celebration of Bella's birthday, ECLIPSE will be re-released in theatres nationwide this Friday! It's your last chance to see it on the big screen with your friends

Check out theaters near you to see if you can see 'Eclipse' one last time on the big screen!

ET's introducing you to one of the new castmembers of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.' ET correspondent Kate Gosselin chatted with new 'Twilight' hunk Rami Malek, at ET's exclusive Emmy party.

Malek told ET that he was thrilled about his upcoming role in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2." "I think it's going to be great," said Malek. "It's going to be super exciting and I'm thrilled," Malek said of joining the superstar cast that includes Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

For Malek, who starred in the Tom Hanks-produced "The Pacific," this was his first time at the Emmys and he was thrilled with the HBO project being awarded the statuette for Outstanding Miniseries.

After talking about professional matters, Kate turned professorial when she put Malek to the test during the Kate Quiz.

When Kate asked him to reveal the one star he'd love to meet, Malek seemed definite when admitting that "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara was not only a star he'd like to meet. He said, " [Sofia is] someone I could see in my family, [that you'd] aspire to marry and live with for the rest of your life."

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2' is slated to reach theaters on Nov. 16, 2012. 'Breaking Dawn, Part 1,' meanwhile, is scheduled to hit the big screen on November 18, 2011. The films are expected to go into production this fall.

Rami is also set to star alongside Tom Hanks in the upcoming film 'Larry Crowne,' due out in 2011.

MovieFone has posted a poll for visitors to provide their input on the top summer movies and 'Eclipse' is on the list:

Summer is winding down, and as we prepare for the fall movie season, we're taking one last look at the past three months at the theater.

Some have argued that this was the worst summer movie season in years, but with the mind-blowing 'Inception,' the Jacob-Bella-Edward love triangle in 'Eclipse' and the uber-success of 'Toy Story 3,' there were still a number of quality flicks for everyone to choose from.

But which films came out on top? Have your say in our official end of summer movies poll.

Yahoo has posted the rankings of Forbes.com's list of summer 2010 box office winners. 'Eclipse' is at #3 with $650 million worldwide, falling behind Shrek Forever and Toy Story 3 at #1 with $895 million:

3. Expectations were high for the Summit Entertainment release "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." It took in a respectable $650 million, but it failed to out-earn its predecessor in the Twilight series, "New Moon," which brought in $710 million at the box office last fall. Summit has set the release dates for the next two films for November of 2011 and November 2012.

Ever since the first "Twilight" film was released — kicking off the phenomenon that has included record-breaking box-office numbers, fainting fans, megawatt premieres, etc. — the suddenly superstar cast has been catapulted into a spotlight none of them saw coming. As such, the actors are very much in demand and currently working on a number of projects.

When Nikki Reed stopped by MTV News recently to discuss her film "Last Day of Summer," we asked her which of her co-stars' upcoming films she's most excited to see.

"All of them," she said. "I love Taylor [Lautner] so much, and I'm so proud of him and what he's doing. He's making a great movie in Pittsburgh right now," she said, referring to the John Singleton-directed action thriller "Abduction."

"I'm excited about Rob [Pattinson]'s movie 'Water for Elephants,' " she added. "I think he's going to be phenomenal in that, and Kristen [Stewart] is doing an amazing film ['On the Road']. Elizabeth Reaser just did a movie called 'Homework' with Michael Angarano, who's a really good friend of mine, and Emma Roberts that I'm excited about."

Reed and her co-stars have so many projects going that she was hard-pressed to remember everyone's work schedule. "We all root for each other," she said.

Speaking of which, the multi-talented and multi-tasking actress, who recently directed Sage's music video for "Edie Sedgwick," lit up at our question about whether she would consider directing a music video for her co-star Jackson Rathbone's band, 100 Monkeys.

"Would I ever! Jackson and I are on the phone every other day, because we're trying to find a movie to do together. I forgot to mention him — his band is skyrocketing. It's amazing," she gushed. "I would be honored. I don't want to take the position: 'Would I ever.' If he would ever let me, yeah. I love them."

'It's about her want, her need to be a mother,' she tells MTV News of her character's fight to save the baby over Bella.

As "Twilight" fans well know, there are several slightly controversial and uncomfortable scenes in "Breaking Dawn," the final book of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series. Going into the last two films, the big questions on fans' minds seem to revolve around the infamous birthing and imprinting scenes.

One key participant in the birthing scene is Rosalie Hale, who becomes so obsessed with Bella having Edward's baby that she will stop at nothing to see her born — even if it means compromising Bella's life.

When Rosalie herself, Nikki Reed, stopped by to talk with MTV News about her upcoming indie film "Last Day of Summer," we asked what she thinks about her character's firm beliefs on that subject matter and how she'll tackle those difficult scenes in the films.

"Here's how I look at it: I try not to be super opinionated and vocal, because in Hollywood, that seems to only lead you in the wrong direction," Reed said. "I try to relate this particular case to Rosalie and not make it metaphorical or symbolic of anything else."

Anyone seen this movie yet? Thoughts? Post it on the wall!

Over the past few days, rumors about Breaking Dawn’s production have picked up as filming on the final installment of The Twilight Saga nears.

While some speculation about casting — and alleged “delays” — is far from true, a reported timetable for work on the films is accurate.

A source close to the production confirms to Gossip Cop that filming will begin in November (as we reported last week) and extend until roughly March 15.

Although the expansive nature of Bill Condon’s two-parter (and size of his cast) means there could be minor schedule tweaks, the timetable is set.

Interview Magazine recently interviewed Anna Kendrick and talked primarily about the upcoming movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" and a little bit about filming the Twilight Saga:

BANKOFF: What was the shooting process for Scott Pilgrim like? Can you tell me a little bit about the process of filming, like working with Michael [Cera] or any stories from the set?

KENDRICK: It was definitely really kind of odd and technical, because of the way that it looks. The process was definitely unlike anything I've ever done before. Like there's a scene where I'm on the phone with Michael Cera,and we had to do a split screen, so I had a little earpiece in my ear. I was listening to the footage that he'd already shot, and I just had to like fit my lines into the space in between his lines.

BANKOFF: Twilight: Eclipse came out earlier this summer. Are those releases extra stressful for you, because they're so high-profile?

KENDRICK: Now I know what I'm doing, so it's easier. With any other movie, you're entering new territory, so it's quite different to be involved in something where it's the same characters, and the same people. You know what to expect out of the premieres and the press and stuff. So it's actually kind of nice, because you don't get very much routine in this job, and it's actually sort of interesting. It's like an annual party or something.
