Rumor Rejected: No Fifth 'Twilight' Film

A day after rumors spread that a fifth "Twilight" film was in the works, producers are flatly denying the story. The vampire series' newest cast member, Disney star Boo Boo Stewart, told an interviewer this week that three more movies were on the way not two.

The 15-year-old actor touched off a flurry of speculation that producers were planning to take the story further than the four-book series written by Stephenie Meyer. But executives at Summit Entertainment insisted the teenager simply spoke out of turn, according to the Daily News.

"We appreciate our young actor's enthusiasm for the franchise and his role," a Summit rep said. "But his comments about the number of films were unfortunately uninformed and not accurate."

"Twilight," the first film in the series, premiered last year and brought in close to $200 million domestically. "New Moon" is set to open in theaters on Nov. 20. "Eclipse" is scheduled for 2010 and "Breaking Dawn" for 2011.
