Bill Condon Talks Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part One

[Bettydecarloa]

u can dl the entire-leeked-movie from megafire.org\?p9TWys ¸

[Ginaida28]

i dont now why some people say that they dont like Catherine Hardwicke ,.. but i love her she was the one how broth edward and bella to life she choose the character and the places to bring stephanie book to life and chris weitz love him to ...david slade not much in twilight he just focus only on the fight scenes more that capture the romance the base of the story

[YasmeenSears5]

By far thẹ best Twilight flick to date, thẹ review footage blew me away.... bit.ly\Breaking-Dawn-pt1 Slade really should gratify the fan-base while cracking open up the series to much more sceptical spectators.....

[xxladybug94]

i personally don't think it needs to be rated R and just watch and see, it will be PG-13. because 1. all the others were PG-13 and 2. do u know how much of their audience they would lose?? that's just economically a stupid choice to make. honestly, i'd rather it be PG-13 cuz u don't need things like the sex and the birth to be EXTREMELY graphic to be powerful. those of u looking forward to the sex scenes, think about movies like the Titanic, the Notebook, Remember Me and watch their sex scenes.

[xxladybug94]

@xxladybug94

the sex scenes were still passionate and powerful without being a porn video. (i don't wanna see that)

those of u for the birth scene, well it will still have blood in it and we'll just have to see how much exactly but the previous movies have had blood (obviously) so this one will be fine.i'm squeamish so i don't like seeing a bunch of gore anyway. the books are ROMANCE not just based on the gore.

[Rivenay]

I've always thought his name was Bill Condom..

[dinaa593]

I love Chatrine as director, I wish she has done all Twilight movies.. but I like Bill since I have seen new video clip of BD and it looks good

[sxystar41]

@dinaa593 Hell no..... she destroyed the first movie.... I wish they would go back and remake Twilight again.. a good director will stay close to book because that's what the fans want.. Catherine did the exact opposite, she didn't stay close to book... she butchered it...

[dinaa593]

@sxystar41 to you, for me she did Twilight the best. I hate movie new moon and Eclipse was ok but Chatrine was true fan and in first movie Edward and Bella were real for me.. just in first.

[BeBeDana]

@sxystar41 I don't agree that she destroyed the first movie, I do however agree that some of her interpretations were skewed! Meaning when she did that whole action sequence to appease the fanboys, that was badly done no matter who thinks otherwise. the baseball game, also her idea, was badly done. The tree top hopping, bad idea, all her "interpretations" that left the original material to explore beyond were not very well done.

[BeBeDana]

@sxystar41 Also, patching up certain scenes like the reveal and the lion and the lamb because plans were otherwise changed was badly done. She had some good ideas, but a lot of the original material that appealed to many was not translated very well according to her vision. No matter the first film was eons beyond all the others that came after it, minus BD1+2 they remain to be seen!

[TheCostick]

girls, please, write me what do they say during 2:10 - 2:17. I can't mark smth out (((

[BeBeDana]

ever again!

[BeBeDana]

only then I believe these movies would've been something great, would've represented all the hyper interest in them that the books have, and would've at least earned some industry respect. However, the (if only) is a sad state of affairs for this entire series, the only ones going to the bank with this are the studio regardless of how many grumbled and unhappy customers they've left along the way! I just hope that studio never gets their hands on another project that is so socially significant

[BeBeDana]

If only they've hired a better screen writer, if only scummit stuck to one director who could deliver, if only SM weren't Mormon where real directors could direct real gore and sexuality in these films, if only (again) scummit didn't want so bad to appeal to the male audience (who apparently couldn't give a fack) and stopped making all those dumbass decisions, if only they've listened more to their primary target audience and kept true to the love story instead of the whole team this team that

[Team76Bella]

@BeBeDana Her being Mormon shouldn't be a factor leave it alone !

[BeBeDana]

@Team76Bella how could it not? she claims she's never even seen an R rated film yet her entire series is fistfilled with implied sexual frustration and gore, how could a series like this be represented properly with her as producer not allowing anything beyond silly kisses to be shown in a novel all about teenage sexual yearning and virgin vampires consummating a weird ass relationship??? anyway I guess the PG-13 rating is always more money in the bank for the studio

[BeBeDana]

@Team76Bella However industry respect is a whole other issue!!

[malmeda72]

I would love if they released the PG-13 movie for the theaters but then released the R version for DVD!

[letgo2217]

I'm really glad he directed breaking dawn. he seems like he was really into the book and i think that these films will be the best out of the whole series.

[college87]

I love him as the breaking dawn director

[nickfan93]

I got 2 questions what is PG-13 and does breaking dawn comes out in 3D

[robsten321]

@nickfan93 Pg-13 is "line". No one who is under 13 cant watch movie..... That is shit. I want pg-15..... I hope they wont ruin movie cuz everyone wanna see bd cuz of sex. i saw picz and some clips, and i think it should be more than 13....

[nickfan93]

@robsten321 yeah i think so too they ruined some grate movies because of the age. but they whant to make money that's all if the movie gone be grate or not :D sorry for my bad english... :D

[pennybug12]

If we were going off how the book is, there wouldn't be sex scenes! In the book they fade to black. Considering how much we gripe on the movies being like the book. Plus they can have pretty graphic sex scenes in PG-13 movies. I'm not worried about that at all. The only part they have to worry about is the birth scene. And I don't want it to be graphic. I don't want to see a lot of blood, etc.

[jumpforjoy6]

but i love Catherine, she can be wacky forever!

[indranee19]

It won't be R. Apparently, Stephenie Meyer cannot watch an R movie. I feel bad for Condon; I think he made an R movie. He needs to fight to get those scenes they cut into the deleted package in the DVD. I'd pay double to see the real wedding night scene and the real birth scene ;)

[MellaLiebtTwilight]

I want to give him a hug :')

[Sarahluzbsb]

I never understand why they ask everyone if it's going to be rated R. Stephanie Meyer would never approve of an R rated movie. She's Mormon and she follows the Mormon rules in regards to watching no R rated movies. The movies have to be rated PG-13.

[TheTaraDactyl]

I really hope its R, I want to get the full effect as far as the birth of nessie and i dont think it should be sugar coated just cuz a lot of people arent old enough :/ but i doubt it will be R

[amybesse]

Okay so good interview. However at the end when he talked about the Rating, HELLO it better be PG 13!!! I am sure it will be!! That would be lame if it wasn't!!

[AlphieLJ]

This is one of the best interviews I've seen for Breaking Dawn and Bill Condon. I just wish his answer at the end hadn't been cut off.



[amybesse]

@AlphieLJ I totally agree especially when it was about the Rating of the movie! Hello don't cut it off there!

[TheRoseVolturi]

After looking at each movie's Director Interview

I thought of this...

Normal Scale-

Totally Normal: Bill Condon

Half-Normal: Chris Weitz

Quarter Normal: David Slade

NOT Normal AT ALL: Catherine Hardwicke

thumbs up if you agree!

[xxladybug94]

@TheRoseVolturi

ROFL EXACTLY my thoughts!

[xxladybug94]

i feel like he's the only normal director they've had lol =P i can't wait!

[GloryOfTheMoonx]

@xxladybug94 ahah same

[TheRoseVolturi]

@xxladybug94 totally agree!

[XxLalaMusicXx]

@xxladybug94 I thought the only non-normal director they had was Catherine Hardwicke.

[xxladybug94]

@XxLalaMusicXx

well chris was alright but he seemed a bit too introverted...and then david....well just LOOK at him lol

[XxLalaMusicXx]

@xxladybug94 What was wrong with David? D:

[xxladybug94]

@XxLalaMusicXx

i felt like he didn't capture enough of the romance in eclipse. the meadow scenes were the best romantic scenes but it was more about the newborns and stuff ..... and he seems kinda weird...idk...

[XxLalaMusicXx]

@xxladybug94 Well in Eclipse I felt like it was just a big huge book of last minute character development. I mean we got the back story of Rosalie, Jasper, and the Wolves stories. I think David did a really good job getting the Bed scene and the tent scene. The only thing I wish that got into the movie was when Jacob remember Bella from New Moon and Edward grimaces. But I think we'll get plenty of grimaces and looks of pain in Breaking Dawn, so I'm okay with that now :)

[BeckyMKF1]

Awesome!! Thanks so much for this! :D
