Here’s a transcript of the Breaking Dawn Part 1 panel at Comic-con.
“There was a nice surprise this morning for the fans who waited. Did it get you all pumped up? I can’t follow that surprise.. let’s give you an exclusive first look at the film! Before I do that, please welcome director Bill Condon!”
Eric: So Bill, you’re new to the project. Talk how you got involved.
Bill: The very nice folks at Summit.. they sent me the novel. I loved it. It’s such a lucky thing for the director because amazing things happen. I started off in horror movies.
Eric: Did you immerse yourself in this world?
Bill: Totally. I quickly imprinted on the material.
Eric: How about we bring out the others? (applause) A few people you might be familiar with. Please welcome Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner!
All three coming out.. huge applause, photos.
No one in the back of the hall is applauding really.
First question: What was it like fimling in Brazil, how does it feel to be loved all over the world?
Bill Condon: I know it’s very hard (laughs). Filming in Brazil was great. It was amazing.. that’s where Stephenie wrote the honeymoon. To actually go there was great. We found the area she described. We got stranded.
Kristen: It was nice being able to shoot on the actual streets. To see that within the context of the movie is jarring.
Rob: I’m just going to moderate. It’s nice. One of the nice things about having an international fan base. going to different countries there are different fan reactions. In Brazil fans would literally try to go up and grab you on the set. It was fun. In the shot.
Taylor: I do love Brazil but I was not there. They came back and showed me this picture of an extra who looked just like me. They showed me this picture.. it was the weirdest thing. Didn’t you guys have to place him further back in case the camera showed up?
Kristen: He looked like an Eclipse poster.
Bill: (joking) we rewrote the story and included you!
Good movies leave you with the sense that they were there, and they give you a pleasant feeling, no matter the content. Great movies, you can touch; that sense of remembrance is tangible, and when the movie is over, you want more. Water for Elephants is a great movie, and probably the best circus movie I’ve seen.
Pattinson continues to grow out of Edward Cullen from the Twilight films and into his own non-glittering skin. He showed genuine promise in Allen Coulter’s Remember Me (2010), and here he’s so completely in character that I forgot I was watching Robert Pattinson; he has the stuff leading men are made of. Waltz proves his Oscar win for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (2009) was no fluke; his August is a deep man, played with conviction, and it’s that commitment to his larger-than-life, yet never over-the-top performance that helps ground the film. It’s beautiful work.
