The British thesp closed his deal with the studio to reprise his turn as Aro, the leader of the vampire royalty Volturi.

Bill Condon is directing "Breaking Dawn," based on the final tome in the series, in two parts. Book centers on the mortal Bella (Kristen Stewart) marrying the vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella giving birth to a half-vampire, half-human daughter.

Summit's splitting the final film in two, with the first set to open Nov. 18, 2011, and the final on Nov. 16, 2012. Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt and Meyer are producing, with scribe Melissa Rosenberg adapting each installment.

Sheen's upcoming credits include Disney's "Tron" and "Beautiful Boy" opposite Maria Bello, Woody Allen's romantic comedy "Midnight in Paris," and "Jesus Henry Christ" opposite Toni Collette. He will return to the stage next year starring in "Hamlet," which will premiere at the Young Vic in London.

Nikki Reed says Breaking Dawn movie stay true to the books

“I’m really happy, really excited, I think the key to the success of the scripts are to stay true to the books. That’s the origin and what people love, it existed before we did, obviously it can’t be verbatim with a 800 page book, but they are making two movies out of it. I think that the essential moments are there!”

As for Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) highly anticipated birth scene, Nikki said, “I’m sure Bill [Condon] has some really creative idea as to what he is going to do. There is a lot of pressure with those scenes because they are so highly anticipated, the giving birth scene or whatever you want to call it. I’m hoping and assuming its going to be edgy, I’m sure it will!”

Kristen Stewart talks about her diet and fitting Pregnancy costume for Breaking Dawn

“I want a cheeseburger so badly, but, you know, I have to be a vampire in a few weeks,” the 20-year-old actress told the LA Times‘ Amy Kaufman at lunch in Los Angeles, before choosing to munch on a veggie burger.

Although she’s toning up for her role as Bella, her character spends much of Breaking Dawn pregnant with her first child — and Kristen said her fake belly is totally uncomfortable.

“I’ve worn it. It’s … crazy. I’ve done fittings,” she said. “It gets immense. It gets so massive at some point that it actually looks inhuman. Like it’s hurting her. There are striations of bruises.”

Twilight Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg Expands Breaking Dawn Story and characters that Stephanie introduces.

Fans of the “Twilight” films are going to have a little added story to sink their teeth into.

The previous movie adaptations of Stephanie Meyer’s vamp-lit juggernaut have gone pretty much by the book, but with the final novel “Breaking Dawn” being broken into two feature films, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg tells PopcornBiz she’s enjoying a little more leeway to add some fangy flourishes of her own.

“I did actually [get to do that], because we got to fill out the story because we're doing the next two movies,” said Rosenberg. “So there was room to play and expand on some of the characters that Stephanie introduces. That was a lot of fun.”

“It's a much more grownup movie – It's an adult story,” the writer said of evolving the franchise beyond its high school origins. “The stakes are raised even higher because it's not the story of teens. It's the stories of grownups, so we're talking about marriage and children and family – and these are pretty grownup things, but sexy.”

Rosenberg says the highlight of the story will be seeing Kristen Stewart’s character Bella become a vampire at long last. “Kristen gets to make the transformation and that is going to be so exciting to see. [Director] Bill [Condon] and I talked about it in developing this script and the screenplay. Now she's going to embody it. It's going to be so great.”

Rosenberg, who penned all of the “Twilight” films and previously wrote for Showtime’s “Dexter,” hasn’t quite adjusted to the fact that, minus a few rewrites, her bloody good run is coming to a close.

“It's a shocking experience after four years to not be writing ‘Twilight!’” she said.
