1. "Twilight" Filming in Rio de Janeiro in Jeopardy
Gathering the facts:
35 civilians were taken hostage in a hotel this past Saturday. The standoff ended in a gunfight that
left one dead and four police officers wounded. City officials are now trying to persuade Summit
Entertainment executives that everything is safe in the city and that they can stick to their filming
schedule.
A final thought:
The hit movie franchise, "The Twilight Saga" may have to delay or cancel upcoming filming of sequel
in Brazil.
Â
Around the water cooler:

2. If the filming is delayed the final release date of the two-part installment of "Twilight: Breaking
Dawn" should not be affected.
Summit Entertainment is considering delaying their hit franchise, âEURoeTwilight'sâEUR filming
in Brazil. Brazilian violence in Rio de Janeiro may delay filming that was scheduled for later this
month. Last weekendâEUR(TM)s clash between drug gangs and the Brazilian police in Rio has made
movie executives reconsider their filming schedule.
What would happen if the âEURoeTwilightâEUR movie executives delayed filming in Brazil or cut
Rio completely out of the movie? At the worst, this movie delay could cost some at considerable
money in rescheduling or relocating. It is however, understandable that the clash of gangs hack no
survey executives are showing concern for their actorsâEUR(TM) and production crew's safety. The
real question is whether or not last weekend's violence was just an isolated incident.
