Breaking down The fourth "Twilight" film, "Breaking Dawn," will be split into two movies, the better to maximize profits -- and, some of its stars figure, maximize salary.

He'll also play a billionaire who loses his wife (Marion Cotillard) and his fortune within 24 hours in the David Cronenberg adaptation of Don DeLillo's "Cosmopolis."
