New Interviews about Breaking Dawn Part 1 and more, with Robert Pattinson, Bill Condon and Melissa Rosenberg
Breaking down the making of ‘Breaking Dawn’
LOS ANGELES – A teenage wedding and honeymoon, a half-vampire pregnancy, a violent birth — and that’s only the first part of the tale.
Director Bill Condon knew that bringing Stephenie Meyer’s young-adult novel Breaking Dawn to the big screen meant wading through some seriously intense themes not traditionally seen in a PG-13 film.
As he worked his way through the book to prep for shooting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1, which opened at midnight Thursday, he was struck by the sheer number of plot points he refers to as “delicate issues.”
“I was reading it going, ‘Wow, so much happens in this story,’ ” says Condon. “It certainly doesn’t play safe. It was daunting.”
Thankfully, the Oscar winner (for Gods and Monsters‘ screenplay) found words of inspiration for his first foray into the world of teen fiction.
“There was one very consistent idea that kept coming through,” he says. “Don’t water it down. There’s something crazy and intense about this book, and you just have to embrace it.”
Rob talks to msn.movies about Breaking dawn and his character Edward, babies, and more in these interviews from the London press junket.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One is here and MSN Movies was lucky enough to catch up with heartthrob Robert Pattinson while he was in London.
Mr Pattinson was infinitely better-looking in the flesh (yes, that’s possible) and really lovely. Absolutely no airs and graces at all and he was happy to answer fan questions. He even gave us a bit of an insight into the secret of being Edward Cullen. It’s all in the eyes, literally.
Random interview observation: Before the cameras started rolling we chatted to Rob about tea. He confessed he always ‘drinks too much coffee’, but has started really enjoying a good, old cuppa. We loved the fact that he was casually dressed in jeans and a shirt witha grey hoodie beside him.
