Twilight stars Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz are trying to negotiate their way in to more cash for the next Twilight show. Because the novel Breaking Dawn, will apparently be split into two. The Hollywood Reporter:
"We may have a situation where one of them is thrown out on the street to make a point," says a source close to the dealmaking.
So are we headed for a recasting on the final "Twilight"?
There is precedent for such a tactic. After the success of the first film, Summit axed Rachelle Lefevre, who played Victoria, in part because her reps played hardball on money and scheduling. (Bryce Dallas Howard got the job instead.) Now, two films into the series, even the minor Twilighters (Lutz in particular) have become sought-after stars, so it makes sense they'd want to be paid more for the final film. But we're told that the offers from Summit -- which are said to be at least 10 times what the actors made on the first movie -- were deemed "offensive" given the mega-money the franchise has generated.
Everyone knows the entire budget goes to Robert Pattinson and his vagina hating attitude. The leftovers usually go to Kristen Stewart. But right after that, the whole show just doesn't have any more budget left, if you know what I mean. Gold dust to make Edward sparkle please! We only have one shot! We're on a tight budget here!
