After literally months of speculation and back-and-forth about whether filming for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 would partially take place in Brazil, a decision has been made.
The President of the Rio Film Commission, Sergio Se Leitao (who has been communicative about the decision-making process for the issue), has issued the following Twitter updates:
Dawn will be shot in Rio in November. With full support of the Rio Film Commission. For security reasons I can not say when and where.
The Mayor and Governor Eduardo Paes Cabral directly engaged to enable the filming of Dawn in the River Plate Gol!
An estimated investment of U.S. $2 million into the economy of Rio seems all right to come and Dawn team is filmed here.
Can not say anything else. I count on your understanding. I think Rio is consolidating as a destination for international productions!
All security measures will be taken to ensure a smooth shoot. The City Council and Gov. of the State will provide needed support.
As you might recall, there was some speculation a few months ago that internal violence would prohibit production from heading to Brazil. Leitao's messages directly speak to that issue.
Very exciting, yes? The Tiwlight Saga: New Moononly had one flashing moment in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (pictured), so it made sense that New Moonwasn't actually filmed on location, but with Breaking Dawn, the scenes which take place in Brazil are . . . um . . . crucial!
