As some people might be aware there has been, several movies that have been released in two parts the some of the more recent being the final instalment of the Harry Potter film franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While the more recent release being the final instalment of the Twilight film franchise, Breaking Dawn.
What could be the possible reason for this infuriating possible trend?
Well I suppose the most obvious answer would be money and the possible chance for production companies to double their returns at the box office. Another possible reason being that some rather militant fans, have some unfortunate filmmakers by their short and curlies. Forcing them to jam in every detail no matter what it does for the pace of their movies. However, I am willing to bet that most these fans would prefer not to wait a year for the next instalment of their favourite story. Now as far as I can see it there is only one other reason why filmmakers have decided to jump on the bandwagon and start to split up their films and that they need to pick up a dictionary and reacquaint themselves with the meaning of the word Edit.
Yes that is right because before this trend came about the book has always been better then the movie. So why should it be any different?
