As we all know by now, the first Twilight film was shot in Oregon before the series moved to Vancouver for New Moon and Eclipse. Now, rumors (and they are only rumors at this point) are flying that the Twilight franchise may return to Oregon to shoot the final chapter of the saga, Breaking Dawn.
Lainey Gossip reported the following this morning: “The crews that are working on Eclipse also worked on New Moon. They were booked back to back well in advance, schedules held for both films. My sources tell me exclusively that the crew was informed weeks ago that they had the all clear to book new jobs when Eclipse wraps. The studio will NOT hold them for Breaking Dawn. I’m told that as of press time the intention is to begin production on the fourth and final in September. In Portland.”
It has been no secret that Oregon has campaigned relentlessly to get the franchise back, but it seems unlikely they would move with only one film left to shoot, especially considering Vancouver offers better tax breaks, established sets and crews. If you have any information about this possible move, email us at olv@onlocationvacations.com and we’ll keep everyone posted if we hear anything more.

There was an official press release on October 12th stating that Breaking Dawn will be shot in Portland, Oregon.
I’ve heard both Portland and Vancouver. And I’ve heard reliable sources for both. So I don’t know. But I wish they’d announce it soon.
