We’ve been hearing rumors about Breaking Dawn’s filming location for several weeks. Summit just issued this statement that makes the filming in Louisiana and Vancouver official.
Summit Entertainment’s THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN will be filmed in both Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Vancouver over the next year starting this fall. The next chapter of THE TWILIGHT SAGA will be released as two separate films with the first of the two slated to be released in theatres on November 18, 2011.
Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct both films starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner along with Billy Burke as Charlie Swan as well as returning members of the Cullen Family including Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme, Jackson Rathbone as Jasper, Nikki Reed as Rosalie, Ashley Greene as Alice and Kellan Lutz as Emmett.
The project, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg with Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt and Stephenie Meyer producing.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.
The third film in the franchise, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, is currently in theatres.

They are shooting the exterior scenes in Vancouver to maintain the continuity of the previous films. They will be shooting the interior shots (which is the bulk of the story) in Louisiana because it offers, among other things, incredible tax credits to film companies. Some states offer 4-10% or so. In Louisiana, it is up to 35% which in the end, equals a bigger bottom dollar (profit) for the studio.
No way Isle Esme and other important outside scenes will be shot in the dirty south. We don’t even have blue waters!

Hmmm…Baton Rouge as Isle Esme? Don’t think so LOL
Wonder where they will film the Honeymoon? Because Vancouver doesn’t look like Brazil, either

We might not even have a state! St. Francisville offers a lot of interesting locations.
