A tentative release date has been leaked for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, and it appears the franchise has decided to stay out of the way entirely of the other huge children’s-lit-to-film franchise, Harry Potter.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will be made as two separate movies, just as is the case with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Deathly Hollows releases part one this coming November, while part two will release late next spring.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 will then follow in November 2011, well removed from any possible lingering Potter-effect on the box office, with Part 2 likely to follow in the Summer of 2012. The two-part finale of the Twilight Saga will be filmed in Baton Rouge and Vancouver with filming expected to start this fall and last for several months.

Hopefully those Twilight fans already lining up for the next installments will be well-supplied on the best fat burner, since they’ll be sitting there a LONG time this time…
