Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Parts 1 and 2' finally wrapped for filming



Last night, the last few shots to be done on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 were completed, according to Jackson Rathbone ("Jasper Hale" in the Twilight Saga).

He, Peter Facinelli ("Carlisle Cullen"), Ashley Greene ("Alice Cullen"), and Kellan Lutz ("Emmett Cullen") all returned to Canada a few days ago to finish up their work with second unit production for the film(s), while Kristen Stewart ("Bella") and Robert Pattinson ("Edward Cullen") ventured to the Virgin Islands (new videos attached in the sidebar) to finish their last portion of filming for Breaking Dawn.

Now, they're all done (except, of course, for director Bill Condon, editor Virginia Katz, score composer Carter Burwell, the CGI team, and the rest of the post-production crew; they've no doubt got a long road ahead). Here's what some of the castmembers had to say about the end on Twitter.

Jackson Rathbone (today): Picture wrapped last night on Breaking Dawn parts 1&2... Thanks to all the cast and crew for the good times! What a wonderful ride!

Ashley Greene (last night): And that - is a wrap!

Peter Facinelli (last night): Just wrapped Breaking Dawn. Its been a long ride. Am I happy or sad? The hat says it all. Just wrapped Breaking Dawn. Its been a long ride. Am I happy ... on Twitpic

Production on Breaking Dawn began as early as November for some of the cast and crew (starting with Brazil shoots) and has waged on through until last night. Both films were made at the same time, and production locations used throughout the process included Brazil, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Vancouver and Squamish, British Columbia, and St. Thomas of the Virgin Islands.

So, that's a wrap! Those new Breaking Dawn stills which were revealed today couldn't come fast enough. As for the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1? Here's a best-guess review of when we might see it.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 hits theaters on November 18th, 2011, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 will follow on November 16th, 2012.
