Yes. Breaking Dawn is now officially going to be released November 18, 2011.
It is also been confirmed that there WILL be two movies, both being directed by Bill Condon.
There had been much speculation when Breaking Dawn would be filmed. Rob has said this fall in various interviews, Christian Serratos (Angela Weber) had accidentally slipped the info and said filming would be this October, and Kristen had said in her Elle photoshoot that they are going to film Breaking Dawn in November of this year.
It's safe to say, filming for the movies will resume this fall. Also, Summit reported a while ago, that if there were going to be two movies, they would be filmed back to back. Since it's confirmed that there are going to be two movies, they will be filmed back to back this fall. If filming starts in October/November, filming will probably end in March or April.
Do I think it's a good idea to make two movies?
Absolutely not. First off, even though Breaking Dawn is a thick book, barely anything happens. You can tell the story in a 2 and a half hour movie. But, as a independent company trying to suck out this project of all that it's worth, of course Summit would want two movies. They want the money. However, Breaking Dawn had no plot. It was reaching it's climax, but all of a sudden fell flat. Unless they change certain scenes such as actually having a battle and maybe an actual sex scene, I don't know how the movies will survive in theatres. A majority of the fans want a battle and a sex scene. I don't know if Summit will deliver. It's not necessarily true to the book, but look at the other movies. There's bound to be some minor changes. I just don't understand how two movies would work. The scripts better be strong, but since the foundation the scripts were based on was the book, I think it will be weak.
