THR is reporting that contract negotiations between Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene and Summit Entertainment in regards to ‘Breaking Dawn’ has been resolved and both will appear in the film(s).

Summit has still yet to confirm if the film will be broken into 2 parts, but most are assuming that will be the case.

According to the report, each actor will be getting $1.25 million per film, however that may not be accurate so take that with a grain of salt.

So far it looks that all the Cullens along with the wolf pack will be back for ‘Breaking Dawn’ along with Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and new director Bill Condon.

A release date has been set for Summit Entertainment’s film ‘Remember Me’ staring Robert Pattinson!!

The date is currently set for 6/22/10 for both DVD and Blue-Ray release.

If you haven’t seen ‘Remember Me’ it was a very good movie that shows off the acting skills that Robert has.

The film is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com!!
