"You know, Jacob, if it weren't for the fact that we're natural enemies and that you're also trying to steal away the reason for my existence, I might actually like you." [Edward, Eclipse, Chapter 22: Fire and Ice, Page 503]

As you already know, most of Breaking Dawn filming is going to be taking place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. And it looks like work is already starting down there. According to Malicious Mandy:
I got an email over the weekend from a fellow Twilight fan in Baton Rouge. Here are some details she sent me regarding Pre-Production of Breaking Dawn:
•studio is secure and gated but busy.
•a lot of construction going on in the lots (unsure if related to filming or not, it seems likely)
•they are using the lot across from studio also (for storage and vehicles at this point)
•Bill Condon has been spotted in town and is staying at a private location not too far from studios
Baton Rouge is extremely excited for the economical boost that Breaking Dawn filming is bound to give them. According to local news channels:
Whether or not "Twilight's" last installment, "Breaking Dawn," is coming to Celtic, the studio says big bucks follow big projects.
"Each production is like a small army, so you're having to feed a small army, you're having to house them, you're having to entertain them," said Mulhearn.
In the case of "Twilight," Baton Rouge will also benefit from the twi-hards.
"What you'll see is much like what 'Steel Magnolias' did for Natchitoches," said Stelly. "People go to Natchitoches to this day to see the house in 'Steel Magnolias.'"
The Baton Rouge area is counting on it.
"'Twilight,'" said Stelly, "it's gonna be a great addition to our cannon."

"Twi-hards have yet another actor to feast upon – “The Pacific” star Rami Malek has signed for the second part of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn,” Access Hollywood has confirmed.
The 29-year-old actor will play Benjamin, a vampire who is a member of an Egyptian coven. His character has the ability to influence the elements of earth, wind, water and fire."
Yep, Rami Malek is playing Benjamin! He even said so himself at the Emmy Awards!
So what do you think? Will Rami Malek be a good Benjamin?
Speaking of Breaking Dawn, another interview with Melissa Rosenberg from the Emmy Awards has surfaced, and she talks about all the new characters in the Breaking Dawn movie (including Benjamin) and which ones will be more 'present.'
