Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart in David Slade’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
It remains unclear whether Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, to be directed by Bill Condon, and starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, will be shot in Rio de Janeiro, where Bella and Edward spend their fateful honeymoon.
The problem — or at least the chief problem — is reportedly tied to security issues in that city and the homonymous state in which it’s located.
The latest on that from RioFilme’s director/president Sérgio Sá Leitão — in a tweet dated Sept. 6 — is that Breaking Dawn will "apparently" be shot in Rio, "though that hasn’t been confirmed, yet."

The last rumor was that Rio offered to pay for security expenses. I know that KStew for one has a lot of rabid Brazilian fans that tweet their excitement over her coming. It will be crazy with people trying to watch–worse than Italy for New Moon.
