Breaking Dawn will be split in two films

Summit today confirmed what most had been guessing for a while: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will be split into two films.

Bill Condon will direct both films simultaneously Deathly Hallows-style, and both will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz will also be reprising their roles.

The first Breaking Dawn film will be released in November 2011, with the second probably being released sometime in summer 2012.
