Entire Cullen Clan Will Take a Bite Out of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn'

Entertainment Tonight, Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 6:17pm (PDT)

Summit Entertainment announced Wednesday that the actors who have portrayed the Cullen clan in the 'Twilight' series thus far will all return for the fourth film, 'Breaking Dawn.'

That means that Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen), Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen), Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale), Elizabeth Reaser (Esme Cullen), and Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) will all be sticking around for the culmination of the series based on the uber-popular books by Stephenie Meyer. Summit disclosed that Billy Burke will also be back as Charlie Swan.

Summit announced in April that the three series leads -- Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan), Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) and Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black), who've all become mega-stars since the first 'Twilight' film premiered -- would return, and would be directed by Oscar winner Bill Condon.

'Breaking Dawn' will hit theaters on November 18, 2011, while the premiere date for the third film in the series, 'Eclipse,' is right around the corner on June 30.
