Producer Wyck Godfrey Confirms Breaking Dawn Filming in Louisiana and Vancouver, Thinking About Breaking Dawn in 3-D

Collider has a new interview with Twilight Saga producer Wyck Godfrey, where he reveals they will definitely be shooting part of the movie in Louisiana alongside the previous Vancouver set locations. He says the reason for this is partially financially motivated with tax credits along with a strong crew base in the area, and from the interview it sounds like there may be a substantial portion filmed in Louisiana.

Godfrey also addresses the question of whether Breaking Dawn will be shot in 3-D, and he says it is under serious consideration. He notes they talked about it for Eclipse, but decided early on not to go that route.He also notes that he doesn’t want to do a post-production conversion like Clash of the Titans if it’s done in 3D, but wants to film it with the proper equipment in “real” 3-D as was done with Avatar and only if director Bill Condon feels it suits the material.
