BRAZIL DEATH CRISIS MAY DOOM NEW TWILIGHT SHOOT IN RIO

Production for next installment of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn may be scrapped after a deadly shootout with drug lords in Rio de Janiero!

Last week a drug gang took 35 innocent bystanders hostage in Rio's posh Intercontinental Hotel while eluding capture from Rio law enforcement

A blistering bloody shootout erupted that ended with one guest dead and six others wounded.

RadarOnline.com reports Twi-stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were slated to star filming part 2 of the fourth and final installment of the teen beat vamp saga.

Now that all that may be in jeopardy as producers are skittish to put their stars in potential harm's way.

But state officials are reportedly attempting to convince Summit to stay in town as the shoot was set to inject $1 million into the local economy.

"The possibility of filming portions of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in Brazil has always been under consideration and we are continuing to scout locations within the country," a Summit spokesperson said.
