MTV Rough Cut: Stephenie Meyer Explains 'Breaking Dawn'
A note to fans from Bill Condon
Detta skrev den officiella regissören för Breaking Dawn, Bill Condon, på facebook idag.
Greetings Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland,
I just want to say hello to all of you and let you know that I’m stoked to be getting underway on the adventure of making BREAKING DAWN. As you’ve probably heard, I’ve been given a very warm welcome by Stephenie and Team Summit – who are super-focused, as you know, on getting these movies right.
I’m pretty busy bringing myself up to speed on what you already know by heart: I’ve read BREAKING DAWN twice, rewatched Catherine’s and Chris’s movies 2-3 times each, have all four CDs playing in my car, and have Catherine’s notebook, Mark Cotta Vaz’s companion books, and even Volume 1 of the graphic novel here on my desk – a corner of my office is starting to look like Hot Topic. I realize that this barely qualifies me for “newborn” status in the universe you’ve been living inside for a few years now, but a guy’s gotta start somewhere.
Like many of you, I’ve always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series DARK SHADOWS, which I followed avidly as a kid. But that alone hadn’t been enough to get me interested in making a vampire movie, even though my early screenwriting and directing efforts grew out of a great love for horror movies and thrillers. Since making GODS AND MONSTERS thirteen years ago, however, I’ve been yearning for a return to a story with Gothic overtones.
The wonderful world that Stephenie has created has obviously struck a chord with you, and I don’t think it’s difficult to see why. For me, her characters are simultaneously timeless, yet very modern. Rooted in a beautiful, real landscape with a great sense of place, Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the rest of the Forks/La Push menagerie, experience emotions that are primal, and universal: desire, despair, jealousy – and it all comes to fruition in BREAKING DAWN. This is a final chapter in the best sense; not just wide in scope and scale, but emotionally charged and intense throughout.
I’m a huge admirer of the already-iconic Kristen, Robert, and Taylor, and wanted to be the one to work with them as they face the challenges of bringing your beloved characters to the end of their journeys. Really, what could be more fun than that?
Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section below, and I’ll do my best to answer them. I hope that this will be the first of many occasions I’ll get to check in with you as we set to work bringing BREAKING DAWN to the screen. I am excited and grateful to have all of you alongside me for my TWILIGHT journey.
All best,
Bill Condon
P.S. Answer #1: No, there won’t be any musical numbers

LA Times intervju med Eclipse skådesperlarna
LA Times har en ny bra intervju med skådespelarna från Eclipse!
“The whole family is in a vulnerable position because of the love we have for Bella,” said Elizabeth Reaser, who plays matriarch Esme Cullen. “If she’s not OK, we’re not OK.”
Peter Facinelli:
“For me, as Carlisle, it’s an exciting portion of the series. Carlisle is very compassionate and he has a lot of killing to do in this movie. I joke, after he kills the bad guys, he says he’s sorry in his head. And, you know, he’s calm and level-headed. He’s the rock of the family. He usually has a lot of information to draw from because Alice can see into the future and Edward can read minds. In this third movie, he’s not getting that information. Neither one of his sources are working, so he’s kind of flying blind.”
Elizabeth Reaser:
“Esme is still a vampire. She still wants to kill people all day long. It was interesting to get in touch with the vampire side of her in ways that haven’t really been explored. Her family is in danger and that brings out the mama bear in her.”
Ashley Greene:
“Yeah, she’s delicate and prissy at times, but Alice gets a little edgier with each installment. And with these vampires messing with her family and the people she loves, you’re going to see a bit of her toughness. It’s a reminder to the audience that even though we restrain ourselves at times, we’re still vampires and we’re dangerous. You’re going to see the dark, dangerous side of Alice.”
Kellan Lutz:
“You’re going to see a smile on Emmett’s face from start to finish. He just loves to fight. And there’s a lot of fighting. He sort of plays bigger in this one than the others.”
Jackson Rathbone:
“You’ll get to see a little bit of the root of what makes Jasper so withdrawn and quiet in the Cullen family. Fans will get some of Jasper’s back story in ‘Eclipse.’ I got to wear the whole Civil War gear and everything. There’s a bit of the softer and darker side of Jasper in this film.”
Nikki Reed:
“You see a reason for her attitude. I think fans will feel for her. There was a bit of that in ‘New Moon.’ Fans got to see a bit of her sensitive side. Her sane side. Her logical side. And her desire to help her family. This time around, she is much more of a participant. She’s a survivor. This is her family. So if protecting Bella means protecting her family, she’s going to do it.”
Robert Pattinson:
Snagging a phone interview with the brooding dreamboat — who was overseas shooting his latest film, “Bel Ami” — proved difficult. So what can we expect from the lovesick Edward? He promises to love Bella “every moment of forever,” as the trailer reveals. He’s still hesitant about her becoming a vampire. He’s determined to protect her from Victoria. And he’s vying with Jacob for her affections. Oh, the life of an antique teenage vampire.

Nu har även Robert Pattinson tagit sig in på People’s lista med de vackraste under 2010. Kristen är också med på listan, läs tidigare inlägg om det här. Grattis Robert och ja, jag håller helt klart med! <3
ROBERT PATTINSON
His pale, otherworldly complexion may make girls swoon, but the British heartthrob, 23, says looking the part of a lovesick vampire in the Twilight series isn’t quite as thrilling: ”Having that makeup put on every single day, as soon as you get it taken off it’s like, ‘Oh, you do look normal. You look healthy now.”

Kellan i intervju!
FilmCritic.com pratade med Kellan Lutz om hans nya film Nightmare on Elm Street, som är en remake av den klassiska skräckfilmen från 1984. Jag såg trailern på bio för några dagar sen och det såg riktigt läskigt ut. Här är ett utdrag från intervjun:
Q: What did you think of the original Nightmare on Elm Street?
A: You know, growing up, Freddy Krueger was the only thing that scared me. I have three older brothers who picked on me, and they did anything to beat me up, but Freddy was the ultimate freak factor. Because Jason from Friday the 13th or Chucky — they were kind of funny. I even had a Chucky doll. But something that attacks you in your sleep? [shivers]
Q: So which gets you more attention these days — Twilight or the Calvin Klein-underwear ads?
A: Well, I had my mom’s best friends proposing [after Twilight], which is kind of flattering. Some of them are really quite attractive. So I might hold onto those numbers and e-mails. But with Calvin Klein, it was always a dream to be a part of the company, and to do it on such a high level? I didn’t know it would be for underwear, at first. But, hey, Mark Wahlberg, it really helped his career, and I can only hope I get half the chance he did. Twilight opens doors, but Rob [Pattinson], Kristen [Stewart], and Taylor [Lautner] are the faces of the franchise, and the rest of us float under the radar, so I think this will allow me to have my time. And hopefully people seeing me in my Skivvies will allow me to have some awesome action movies come my way.
Q: At least that’ll help you with Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. There’s more Emmett coming up?
A: Yes! A lot more fighting with the Cullens. I know they’re working on scripts, potentially breaking the last one into two movies. They haven’t said anything to us yet. Once my agent gets the phone call that we’re good to go. And I would love to do it in 3-D. What actor wouldn’t?
Q: So when are we going to see an Emmett-based rock band? Bella and Edward already have Twi-rock bands inspired by them.
A: There should be an Emmett band, yes! I have three roommates, and they’re very gung ho about it, when I told them I had an idea to start a band ourselves. We are currently taking classes, and hopefully we could become a 30 Seconds to Mars-type band. I would love that.

Bonnie Wright And Jamie Campbell Bower Reportedly Engaged, So We Choose Their Wedding Party
If you've ever read a post on Hollywood Crush than you know that we're big fans of both "Twilight" and Harry Potter," so we figured we'd do our part to help in the wedding-planning process. We have watched "The Wedding Planner" on numerous occasions, after all, so consider us certified experts.
When we reached out to Bonnie's rep for comment, she would not confirm or deny the engagement, responding with, "We don't comment on our clients' personal lives." Still, we're taking that pretty obvious rock on her finger as proof that wedding bells will be ringing very soon for these young lovers.

Nikki Reed
Kristen talar ut
Kristen känner sig osäker och paranoid Kristen Stewart, 20, avslöjar i nya numret av Flaunt magazine att hon känner sig som vilken annan vanlig tjej som helst i hennes ålder. Stjärnan menar på att även hon kan känna sig osäker, speciellt nu när hon står i rampljuset. — Jag har kommit över en del av det men jag jobbar fortfarande på det. Osäkerheten jag har byggt upp är den att jag känner mig paranoid hela tiden. Det känns som att folk tittar på mig konstant, även om de kanske inte alla gånger gör det, förklarar Kristen. Kristen berättar även att hon är medveten om att hon ibland kan uppfattas som otrevlig och att det egentligen bara är pojkvännen Robert Pattinson som fått se hennes riktiga sida. — Jag tar ofta försvarsställning och ler därför inte speciellt ofta. Jag har skakningar i mitt ena ben också, vilket antagligen får folk att tro att jag är nervös och inte känner mig bekväm, fortsätter Kristen förklara.
Interview with Rob and Kristen
Showbizby har repoterat att Robert Pattinson säger att han inte tycker att hans skådespelarkarriär inte har påverkat hans liv speciellt mycket och att han fortfarande är jordnära. Ja, om det nu är Robert som har sagt detta så tycker jag att det låter riktigt bra för honom. Men om man utgår från vad han har sagt i tidigare intervjuer så låter det här inte så rimligt.. men hoppas kan man alltid!
Showbizspy has reported that Robert Pattinson says he believes he has stayed fairly normal during his acting career. The Twilight saga star says he thinks he is pretty “down to earth” and could never act like a star.
The sexy vampire says he doesn’t make crazy demands but he does insist on have a driver. He says he is a terrible driver and refuses to do it.
“I love throwing things around in my hotel room haha,” Robert joked. “No, seriously, I think I’ve stayed pretty normal, I am much to down to earth to make crazy demands. Well, except for a private chauffeur, but that is only because I am a disaster on the road and others even forbid me to drive.”

Kristen i en intervju!
The Twilight star tells Flaunt’s Gregg Lagambina that she was wracked with nerves before her latest film, The Runaways, debuted at Sundance.
“I thought everyone would write shit reviews. I thought everyone was waiting, itching to say that I should just go back to Twilight. And no one said that. I put so much into it. I would have died working on that movie. So if they did say those bad things, then I might as well just stop now.”
Kristen also explains why — at least in her mind — she might come off as aloof and standoffish to others. '“I get defensive and that has probably perpetuated people’s idea of me never smiling. I kind of shake my leg too, so people think I’m always uncomfortable.”
As for how she makes her film choices, K suggests it’s all just instinct: '“Who knows what you’re going to connect with and then be able to live up to? I can’t just read a script and say it’s great because there’s a part for me, my age, perfect—I can’t live that life. You know what I mean? That’s just not me.”
And she takes us deep into how fame has changed her:
“Yeah, I definitely act differently. I’m definitely overcoming a lot of it. The only insecurity I’ve developed is just being overly paranoid about everyone looking at you when they’re not.”

Pattinson: "Jag kan inte skaffa nya vänner"
“Twilight”-stjärnan och hunken Robert Pattinson fruktar att han inte kommer att kunna skaffa sig nya vänner.
Pattinson har riktiga vänner hemma i England men han tror att nya vänner och bekantskaper endast skulle utnyttja honom och gå till pressen nu när han är känd. Han tror även att hans paranoida inställning kommer att ha negativa effekter på framtida vänskaper, uppger Teen Hollywood.
— Riktiga vänskaper med personer som man känt hur länge som helst förändras aldrig. Alla mina vänner, alla som jag känner, är precis som förr. Det är bara nya människor. Varje gång man träffar en grupp med människor så tror man ofta att någon av dem kommer att säga något till pressen. Majoriteten av gångerna så händer det säkert inte, men ibland så gör de det och det gör mig ständigt paranoid, berättar Robert.
Här är filmhistoriens hetaste par
Den turbulenta historien om Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) och Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) i ”Borta med vinden”, den Roxette-ackompanjerade kärleken för Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) och Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) i ”Pretty woman”, de heta scenerna mellan Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) och Jack Foley (George Clooney) i ”Out of sight”, och den mörka och romantiska berättelsen om Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) och Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) i ”Twilight”. Alla är de lika oförglömliga filmhistorier som för evigt etsat sig fast i våra minnen.
För att komma i stämning inför Alla hjärtans dag har vi samlat 20 av de hetaste filmparen som någonsin visats på vita duken. Spana in bildspelet ovan och rösta på just ditt favoritpar!
Hångelfest i nya "Twilight"-filmen
Själva biopremiären dröjer ända till den 30 juni, men i dagarna läckte de första bilderna från ”Eclipse”, som är den tredje filmen i ”Twilight”-serien, ut på nätet.
”Eclipse” kretsar i huvudsak kring Kristen Stewarts rollfigur Bella och hur hon tvingas välja mellan sin kärlek till vampyren Edward, spelad av Robert Pattinson, och vänskapen med varulven Jacob, spelad av Taylor Lautner.
Det tycks vara upplagt för en hel del romantik och bilderna i galleriet ovan visar flera passionerade scener mellan Robert och Kristen.

Han vill snagga sig?!
Tjejer är helt galna i hans vildvuxna lockar och killar vill till varje pris kopiera hans frisyr – men Robert Pattinson själv vill helst av allt vara helt kal på knoppen.
— Jag skulle älska att få snagga mig. Jag behöver verkligen klippa mig, men det går inte just nu på grund av jobbet, säger han enligt Hello magazine.
”Twilight”-skådisen har tidigare erkänt att han sällan tvättar håret, och nu vill han alltså slippa den sysslan helt och hållet.
Robert vill gifta sig med Kristen
Enligt källor ska Robert ha friat till Kristen flera gången men hon har inte svarat ja ännu
Flickfavoriten Robert Pattinson, 23, har friat vid ett flertal tillfällen till ”Twilight”-kollegan och flickvännen Kristen Stewart, 20, skriver National Enquirer.
Källan, som står paret nära, avslöjar att Robert desperat vill gifta sig med Kristen:
— Han väntar bara på att hon ska svara ja.
Samma källa hävdar även att det antagligen inte komma dröja länge innan Kristen äntligen svarar ja, eftersom de ”ser varandra som själsfränder och vill leva tillsammans”.
Kristen har även själv sagt att Robert har friat till henne men att hon då endast trodde att han skojade.
Classic Rob rumors
When somebody is impossibly good-looking, simply placing a picture of them on your magazine/Web site/tabloid can get a huge audience to pay attention. If the person is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, an outrageous story about them can capture countless eyeballs. And if they happen to be both, well, all the better.
Over the past 22 months or so, Robert Pattinson has rocketed from obscurity to omnipresence. He's also dealt with a ton of ridiculous rumors. Now, hot on the heels of reports that RPattz was going to play Kurt Cobain in a feature film, we look back on the 10 dumbest (and utterly untrue) Robert Pattinson rumors:
Rob's Nirvana?: The Sun is a British tabloid that seems to specialize in stories about how Megan Fox is going to play Catwoman. Their latest "scoop," however, was a real doozy — Rob was in regular contact with Courtney Love and had landed the role of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in a biopic. The rumor got a bit of traction, particularly because of RPattz's well-documented love of music, but ultimately the Sun story was dismissed by Love's reps, leaving the tabloid to offer all apologies.
Rob Is Preggers: It would be one thing to suggest that whomever RPattz is supposed to be dating this week is pregnant. But an Australian tabloid once reported that a little Rob was on the way and — get this — he was the one who was going to give birth to it! Perhaps the editors have been watching too many bad early '90s Arnold Schwarzenegger comedies lately, but the report was so ridiculous that even Rob himself singled it out as the craziest rumor he had ever heard about himself. We're no doctors, but six months have passed since the "news" broke, and since Rob's not showing yet, we're thinking it's safe to call this one bogus.
Rob Is a Pirate: Yo ho ho and a bottle of bull. That's what rumors of RPattz playing Jack Sparrow's brother in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" turned out to be, after reports had him battling Zac Efron and Russell Brand (!?) for the role. Somebody needs to make whoever started that rumor walk the plank.
OME! Rob Is Engaged!: Have you sent RPattz an engagement gift yet? Because he got engaged last August. And then again in September, March and apparently Tuesday (April 13) as well. If you haven't sent a gift yet, don't worry: We're sure he'll get engaged two or three more times this week.
Rob Is Dating Everyone: Twilighters would love nothing more than if Rob were actually involved with Kristen Stewart. "Lost" fans would dig it if he ended up with Emilie de Ravin. Somebody out there must want him to date Megan Fox, Nikki Reed, Camilla Belle and Erika Dutra, whoever that is. There was even a rumor out there that he was dating Katy Perry — which would be a good way at getting Russell Brand back for stealing away his "Pirates 4" role. Through it all, Rob has denied dating any of them — so let's give the dude some space, OK, guys?
Rob Is Deaf: After RPattz made some tongue-in-cheek comments about how loud it was whenever he went out in public, some outlets decided to twist his words into an admission that he was actually deaf. Isn't it tragic that his fans have screamed at him so much that he'll have to film the "Breaking Dawn" movies using sign language? MTV News can confirm that we've interviewed him numerous times, and either his hearing is fine or he's the most amazing lip-reader in the world.
Rob Is Gay: Apparently, when Rob isn't dating every actress in Hollywood, he's busy dating every actor as well. Some outlets recently twisted an interview with one of Rob's friends to make it sound like something far more than friendship. Not that there would be anything wrong with it, but such a rumor seems as bogus as it is sad that someone would write it.
Rob Is Bond: At the "Remember Me" premiere in London, RPattz was asked if he'd like to play James Bond. What British actor wouldn't? Of course, when he said he would, certain sites reported it as fact. Such silliness can only leave his fans shaken and more than a bit stirred.
Rob Is an American Idol: A few months ago, the Web went wild with reports that Simon Cowell had approached Rob with a record deal. As much as some Twilighters would like it to happen, the reports turned out to be bogus (shocking!), so don't be looking for Rob on Cowell's hit show anytime soon.
Rob Stinks: Another RPattz rumor as suspicious as it was sad, last March an "unidentified source" was reported as saying that Rob's co-stars on "New Moon" thought he smelled bad. We've interviewed Rob numerous times and sniffed nothing more than charm and charisma — so, like many other RPattz rumors, it's the report itself that stunk.
Kristen pratar om karaktären Bella!
I Entertainment Weekly’s nummer Summer Movie Preview så berättar Kristen Stewart att hennes karaktär Bella inte var lika plågad i Eclipse som i New Moon. Hon säger att Bella vet vad hon vill ha i Eclipse och är inte bara en dum unge som pratar på för att hon är kär. Du får även veta ett par till saker om Bella.
* Eclipse spoilers i texten, om handlingen.
It was that resolve, Stewart reveals in Entertainment Weekly’s summer movie preview issue, that made the character much easier to play. ”I wasn’t as tortured as I was on ‘New Moon.’ Bella really knows what she wants in ‘Eclipse.’ She’s not just a dumb kid talking because she’s in love.”
That’s not to suggest that playing a more-focused Bella was a breeze. Though the teen matures over the course of the story, graduating from high school and getting engaged to Robert Pattinson’s Edward, at one point she is pulled back into the romantic embrace of Taylor Lautner’s werewolf Jacob. That scene was difficult, both because Stewart sees Lautner as something of a younger brother and because she understands that Bella truly loves Edward.
And then there’s an experience that fans have been looking forward to for years — one not strange at all but rather a long time coming: Edward and Bella’s engagement. Producer Wyck Godfrey said the scene will more than fulfill expectations. ”She walks into Edward’s room, and there’s a beautiful four-poster bed, and it’s like, ‘Wow, here we go!’ ”
Tänk att.. snart är det den 30 juni 2010!
