Guest list: A cavalcade of cast members including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser and Kellan Lutz. Plus guests Heather Locklear, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ashley Tisdale and Rob Lowe.
“An experience to treasure”: The fourth installment of the blockbuster film franchise, in theaters Friday, chronicles the lavish forest wedding, island honeymoon and impending parenthood of mortal teenager Bella Swan (Stewart) and her brooding vampire crush, Edward Cullen, played by Stewart’s real-life squeeze, Pattinson. While shooting the nuptials, Pattinson said he was made painfully aware “just how irrelevant the groom is in a wedding. You just kind of stand there.” But for Stewart, the shoot could not have been more touching. “It was just what I was hoping for,” said a J-Mendel clad Stewart. “I wanted to remember it as an experience to treasure without any neurotic actory weirdness.”
Deja vu moment: Reed, who wed 2010 American Idol contender Paul McDonald just last month, confessed a deja vu moment during her first screening of Dawn – Part 1: “Right before Bella walks down the aisle, she says to her father, ‘Please don’t let me fall, Dad,’ which is exactly what I said to my father.” Filmed over two days in Squamish, British Columbia, the ceremony “felt like a real wedding,” recalled Facinelli, “though it did rain a lot. I remember the girls standing in mud.”
In labor: During the packed premiere screening, the fans’ thunderous applause for the “I do” exchange was eclipsed only by the deafening cheers for the long-awaited consummation scene. Director Bill Condon recalled Kristen being “as nervous as Bella would be, but Rob had her back the whole time. They’re so protective of each other.” One warning: the climactic (and truly gruesome!) birthing scene is not for the faint of heart. “It’s difficult to get more surreal than chewing through a placenta,” cautioned Pattinson, while Stewart is still uneasy about “looking down and seeing my head sticking out of a fake pregnant body.”
Part 2 (Spoiler alert!): Be sure to stay in your seats after the closing credits begin to roll for a glimpse of the treachery ahead when Twilight’s concluding chapter hits theaters in November 2012. Mackenzie Foy, 11, appears for only a glimpse at the end of Part 1 as Bella and Edward’s daughter, Renesmee, but says, “I do a lot more in the next one.” Such as? Taking a ride on the back of Jacob (Lautner) in werewolf form. Reaser’s favorite scene finds her and movie husband Facinelli heading to Egypt “to recruit vampires in this Egyptian palace.” Lutz, meanwhile, can’t wait for fans to see his arm-wrestling scene with Bella, a newly christened vampire. “It’s kind of ridiculous that she beats me,” said Lutz, “but she does!” And according to Lautner, Bella also gets rough with his Jacob. “There’s a scene in Part 2 where Bella finds out I imprinted (summoning a protective spell) on her daughter, and she throws me around the backyard. It was so funny for me to see Kristen doing that.”
Famous fans: “It’s a super hot ticket,” said Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik, who confessed to not having seen any of the previous films. But Love Hewitt, a true Twi-hard, “asked for tickets ages ago. The books make me feel like a mushy teenager again, and this movie is when it really gets good. They get married and have S-E-X for the first time!” Also among the eager: racing champ Danica Patrick, having heard “it’s one of the biggest movie weddings ever filmed.”
Not so famous fans: Devotees flew in from all over the world for a chance to camp out as early as last Wednesday for the best spots along the black carpet. Many were rewarded with autographs and photos with their favorites. Megan Lambert, 14, from Colton, Calif., flashed a sign reading: “Taylor Abduct Me”, and reunited with two friends she met at last year’s Twilight: Eclipse premiere. And Adam Velasco, 23, one of the few guys in the crowd, flew in from Chicago and spent the last few days “brushing my teeth in the parking garage.” Condon, who paid the crowd a surprise visit on Saturday, noted, “This has to be the most interactive relationship ever between a movie and its fan-dom.”
LOS ANGELES — Could it be possible that “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1” might actually be … adult?
The fourth film adapted from the Stephenie Meyer series about a teenage girl/vampire/werewolf romantic triangle goes places where the first three blockbusters in the series didn’t dare.
Like the bedroom.
Yup, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s achingly chaste Bella and Edward finally get hitched and take a honeymoon in this one.
New-to-the-franchise director Bill Condon (“Gods and Monsters,” “Kinsey”) doesn’t shy away from passionate expressions of young marital love. And it’s really kind of beautiful in its bed-breaking way.
But then, oh my. Pattinson, who shot to fame playing the courtly, lovestruck bloodsucker Edward Cullen, is still trying to wrap his head around where the tween-adored, carnally toothless fantasy has gone this time around.
As the fourth chapter of Twilight is coming out this week, marking the beginning of the end of the saga, its hero grants us an interview, conducted by his most passionate fans (Teenagers from 11 to 16 years old). Here are the secrets of a huge star.
That day, about fourty fans of the Twilight saga are waiting at the back of the Park Hyatt Vendôme hotel, convinced that their idol, Robert Pattinson, will leave by the back entrance. Nothing is less certain : the actor, situated in room 430, is doing a big amount of interviews to talk about the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 by Bill Condon (Summit programmed the second part for the end of 2012)
In this movie, awaited by milions of people, Edward finally gives up his puritan ways and tie the knot with Bella (Kristen Stewart), who, before the wedding, had a scary nightmare. Robert Pattinson asks for a coffee and looks at us shyly. The questions we want to ask him have been submitted by teenagers. Something that amuses him and relaxes him at the same time.
Eva (13 yo) – With each movie, there’s a new director, how did you meet Bill Condon?
Robert Pattison – He first had lunch with Kristen and it was very serious. Then, he came to my house, we ate some pizzas and drank about 12 beers. Eva, keep that to yourself. Then, we talked about the script that is kind of twisted. It seemed similar to “Rosemary’s Baby”. I get married to Bella, just like in a romantic comedy, she ends up pregnant with a baby that grows really fast, as in a horror movie, and Jacob falls in love with the child, as.. in nothing else actually. Stephenie Meyer, the author is mormon. But this time, with Bella, we finally do IT. Bill Candon as the reputation of a very lovely guy. All I can tell you is that.. he really deserves it.
What was the most difficult thing for you on set?
Breaking Dawn is, before anything else, Bella’s story. Edward is extremely passive in it : The extreme rapidity of the events is beyond him. I’m probably going to disappoint you but the majority of my work was, for this movie, standing and waiting in the same room for two months in front of a green screen.
Three years and three films into “The Twilight Saga,” Robert Pattinson can see the finish line for the role that made him famous.
With the release of “Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” he knows that the whirlwind surrounding him and his cast mates is about to peak. then subside. He says he’s relishing the end, and he’s taking it all in: the attention, the career boost and the way his peers have coped with the sudden fame of a film series whose fans are nothing if not fanatical.
“I am constantly amazed that no one has gone totally crazy,” he says, chuckling.“Everybody has their own way of coping. We’re all trying to be artists at the same time this whole thing is going on around us.”
The 25-year-old British actor has worked with Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz (“Water for Elephants”)and a former James Bond (Pierce Brosnan (“Remember Me”). But he says his contemporaries – his “Twilight” cast mates — “have taught me the most. They’ve grown up in the eye of the storm. I learn from how they’ve dealt with fame. For me, that’s obviously the most overwhelming … thing I’ve had to deal with. You learn a lot about the world and a lot about people when you and they go through something like this.”
That “something like this” has been in evidence since before the first film opened. Pattinson was an all-but-unknown 21-year-old, best known for a glorified cameo as Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” when he landed the role that would change his life the instant he was cast.
