The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 will be the beginning of the end for this vampire franchise, hitting theaters on November 18, with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, arriving on November 16, 2012. Production is still underway on the two-part finale, but a series of photos from the movie have been leaked online.

Author Stephenie Meyer, director Bill Condon, and producer Wyck Godfrey have released a statement regarding these photos, pleading with fans to stop sharing them online. Take a look at the statement below.

"As some of you may know, pictures and screen grabs of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as a work in progress have leaked on the internet. We are extremely proud of this film and also extremely heartbroken to see it out there at this stage.

The film and these images are not yet ready or in their proper context. They were illegally obtained and their early dissemination is deeply upsetting to the actors, the filmmakers and Summit who are working so hard to bring these movies to fruition to you in November 2011 and November 2012.

Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don't view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.

Sincerely,

Stephenie Meyer, Bill Condon, Wyck Godfrey, and Summit Entertainment"

Stephenie Meyer has had experience with leaked material in the past, with portions of her unfinished prequel novel to Twilight. The work was never completed and the finished portions were posted on her official website.
