Bill Condon talks about Breaking Dawn and mentions Robert Pattinson in an interview with Movieline

There are some interesting cinematic things you’ve done that seem to make that point — one is the use of Bride of Frankenstein in your Edward flashback. What was the thinking behind that?

We sort of watched Edward have this heavy cloud this whole time, and it’s referred to in the book; it actually came out of a discussion with Rob Pattinson. He’d been playing something that was described in the book with just a couple of lines — this period when he broke away from Carlisle and wasn’t a vegetarian anymore. He sort of explored what it was like to hunt humans. And he only killed terrible men, murderers, things like that, but the point is it made him… he says, “I looked her your eyes and saw who I was, when I’d become a monster,” and it was only after this period that he returned to Carlisle and fully embraced their way of living. But it always remained sort of a heavy burden for him, and that’s something that Rob had been playing. I was like, “Well god, you’ve been playing that without even seeing that.” So as a last moment before the wedding he does kind of lay out one last argument for why Bella might want to rethink it, you know? And that gave me a chance to show him, in that period — in the early ’30s in Chicago, and in this case, in a movie theater. And of course I chose Bride of Frankenstein as the movie he’s watching. Partly because it’s one of my favorite movies, and one of the greatest horror movies ever made. But also, it’s sort of this story, isn’t it? [Laughs] She is the bride of Frankenstein!
