A Twilight Saga Fansite
According to ABC News 2011 is the year of the powerhouse sequel:
“The holiday season brings part one of “Breaking Dawn,” the finale to author Stephenie Meyer’s supernatural romance that began with “Twilight.” Kristen Stewart’s back for the closing round in her torn-between-two-lovers relationship with her vampire beau (Robert Pattinson) and werewolf pal (Taylor Lautner).”
There are so many sequel and reboots running the total is staggering. Check it all out on ABC.
USA today sat down with Twilight Saga producer, Wyck Godfrey, and asked the questions that many of us want answers to:
“Q: Where does the story split in half?
A: “We basically want to take the audience through the emotional part of Bella’s journey as she becomes a vampire. The first part will cover the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth.” The film ends just before she embarks on her supernatural transformation.
Q: The book has three segments, two of which present Bella’s point of view and a middle that’s devoted to the perspective of her rejected werewolf suitor, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). How is that handled?
A: “The story will break from her and follow Jacob throughout the course of the movie as he struggles with his own dilemma. There is a sense that as Bella and the Cullens (Edward’s makeshift vampire clan) deal with her pregnancy, the world is still turning outside with Jacob.”
Q: Why was Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning filmmaker best known for his musicals as the screenwriter of 2002’s Chicagoand the director of 2006’s Dreamgirls, selected as the director of the finale?
A: “These films have the most difficult stuff from a performance standpoint. With his history of directing, I can’t think of anyone who would be better at bringing out the best in an actor.” Plus, the director, who did the 1995 sequel to Candyman, is a fright-fare enthusiast. “He has an appetite for the genre and a passion for the Twilight books and movies.”
Q: Considering what goes on during the torturous birth process, how can the rating be PG-13?
A: With Twilight‘s core of under-18 fans, “it would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated.” However, “this is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated.”
A compromise: Having the bloody, bone-crushing delivery be seen only through Bella’s eyes. “She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees.”
We were able to talk to Wyck at the Eclipse premiere where he hinted that he and Stephenie will be doing other projects.
Breaking Dawn makes MTV’s list of upcoming movies that are shrouded in secrecy.
““Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” November 18
What, you say, everyone on your block knows how the “Twilight” saga ends? Well, sure, we know the plot. But do we know where “Part 1” will end and “Part 2” pick up? Do we know which characters some of the fresh franchise faces will be playing? Do we know how director Bill Condon will handle the famously bloody birth scene, and if it will even be in the first film? And heck, is there still a chance the movie could be released in 3-D? Questions, questions.”
Bill Condon has sent this out for all the fans. It’s the Swan home decorated Christmas style. You can find a larger, high resolution shot here. Photo credit goes to Andrew Cooper.
PopSugar is running a series of photos taken of the Volturi members during a night shoot in Louisiana for Breaking Dawn Part 1. They are obviously outside as everyone, cast and crew, are bundled up in coats and hats. It looks as if they are waiting for the shoot to begin. You can see Dakota Fanning (Jane) sitting in her chair with Chris Hyerdahl (Marcus) to her right and Cameron Bright (Alec) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius) to her left. Michael Sheen shows up a few photos later in full costume for Aro. We’re not going to post the photos here as we know some of you are trying to stay “spoiler free.” If you’d like to see the photos, visit PopSugar.
With three films coming out in 2011, Rob Pattinson is set to have a very busy year. Water for Elephants is scheduled to be in theatres on April 15. Breaking Dawn Part 1 will be out on Nov. 18. Bel Ami’s release date is currently set for sometime in August. Each role is very different and should show some diversity from the actor most famous for being Edward Cullen. So head over to MTV and let them know which film you are most excited about. Leave a comment below telling us which film you think will push Rob the furthest as an actor.
Summit Entertainment has confirmed that Ty Olsson has been cast as Phil Dwyer, Bella’s Step-Father, in Breaking Dawn. Fans of sci-fi shows like Defying Gravity and Battlestar Galactica may recognize Ty as a series regular. He most recently appeared in the TV show Shattered. Let us know if you think he fits your impression of Renee’s baseball playing husband.
TY to Jason for the heads up on this!
Architectural Digest has a fantastic photo spread and story on the house that served as the Isle Esme location. According to AD, “Halfway between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, off the BR-101 highway, lies a corner of Brazil bounded by forested mountains that edge their way down to the sea. The Saco do Mamanguá, a tropical fjord, cuts between the mainland and the peninsula of Juatinga, where ridges approaching 1,600 feet frame a narrow bay; this pristine spot is where businessman Ícaro Fernandes, his wife, Cristina, and their five children, ranging in age from three to 24, come to trade life in the urban jungle of São Paulo for waterskiing and dolphin-watching. On weekends, the clan braves São Paulo’s notorious traffic to make the nearly three-hour drive to the colonial town of Paraty, where they hop onto a speedboat for the short ride to their beachfront home. ”
Here’s the master bedroom’s (seen above) description, “The walls and ceiling of the master bedroom are covered in woven-straw panels, the work of artisans in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais.”
Leading out of the master bedroom, “Like a rope bridge in the jungle, a walkway with eucalyptus railings spans from the master bedroom on one side of the living room across to the children’s rooms.”
Here’s the View from the living room. You can see where the flotilla of photographers were moored while filming was going on.”Friends moor their boats right off the beach when they visit. The plantation chairs and other outdoor furniture, all made of tropical hardwoods, are from Bali and Brazil.”

Unlike 2010, that was not filled with tons of blockbusters, 2011 is filled with heavy hitting films. Granted those powerhouses still have to deliver, but EW points out just in in sheer volume how intense it is. It’s a good thing we are back to a November release on Breaking Dawn, because there is an awful lot coming out this summer.
EW points to three of what they think will be the biggest:
“Capt. Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (May 20), the beginning of the end of The Twilight Saga with Breaking Dawn Part 1 (Nov. 18), and the end of the end of the Harry Potter saga with The Deathly Hallows — Part 2 (July 15). So many movies! But which, dear readers, can you simply not wait a single second more to see?”
Head over to EW and tell them what you want them to cover.

As for who is playing J Jenks, Summit has never officially confirmed. We don’t know why that is exactly. Going on the last batch of actors who were announced, but no specific role attached to their name, we believe it is one of two people. Either would be a great choice as the role does not have to be a race specific one to advance the plot.
