Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive first look at The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. The shot, which is only available in Entertainment Weekly’s print edition, features Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) as husband and wife…on their wedding night. “It’s one of the most anticipated scenes,” Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon tells EW. “I spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about it. The anticipation is part of it and you want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise them.” For more information about Breaking Dawn (in theaters Nov. 18), check out this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Interview with Breaking Dawn Producer Wyck Godfrey [1]

Sophie Rose — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 16:03:58 GMT

Finally! Some of our questions for the Breaking Dawn film(s) are answered. Whoo! USA Today posted a great interview with Producer, Wyck Godfrey that is packed full of answers fans are sure to enjoy. Check it out:

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.”

Q: How is the long-awaited consummation of Edward and Bella’s love portrayed?

A: Even though their physical relationship goes way beyond what was shown in the first three films, “it does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual.”

Q: At the end of Breaking Dawn, about 70 or so vampires from around the world gather to face off with the Cullens and their allies plus Jacob’s wolf pack. How can you keep both portions of the storytelling equally compelling?

A: “The second half is more of an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes.” But the domestic moments of the first film possess an emotional punch. “There are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was.”

Q: Is there any chance that Condon could sneak in a musical number?

A: There might be traditional dancing at the wedding. But don’t expect any of the wolf pack to suddenly howl a tune or do a soft-shoe shuffle.

Although, as Godfrey jokes, “We just had a whole line of actors marching toward the camera. We could have them practice a chorus line with vampires doing kicks.”

So given everything you’ve just read, do you think Breaking Dawn is off to a good start? Leave us your thoughts below.

“It’s the most won-der-ful time… of the YEAR!” And even though our favorite Twilight Saga actors have reached super stardom, they never forget others in need. Peter Facinelli (“Carlisle Cullen”), Elizabeth Reaser (“Esme Cullen”), Kellan Lutz (“Emmett Cullen”), and Nikki Reed (“Rosalie Hale”) all spent some time visiting with kids at the Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana a few days ago. They even brought some awesome Twilight gifts for their little fans! Check out the picture below that was taken with one very lucky (and adorable) little boy!

Posen to Design Bella's Wedding Dress for Breaking Dawn? [3]

Sophie Rose — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 14:54:01 GMT

Ding, dong, ding, dong….
Do I hear…. WEDDING BELLS?! Oh how I love, love, LOOOOVE a good wedding. The groom looks handsome, the bride is stunning, the atmosphere is magical, and the rings symbolize a love that lasts forever and ever. TEAR, SWOON, CHAMPAGNE OWW!! I’m just gonna put it out there now that the fantasy wedding of the century is definitely going to be Edward and Bella’s in Breaking Dawn: Part 1.

Don’t the vows just ring in your head as you imagine the sexy, silky voice of Robward delivering the lines that will forever tie him to the woman of his dreams? Naturally, this is the point where Sophie closes her eyes to find herself standing in front of this sparkly porcelain god (and no I’m not talking about the toilet, ladies!) in a beautiful gown meant for an equally gorgeous woman. Then I wake to remember that Bella, aka KStew gets to live the very dream I long to make a reality. Poo…

Oh well, I enjoy fantasizing anyway LOL

But here’s the deal… rumor has it that Zac Posen may be the man behind the design for Bella’s wedding gown. If you recall, InStyle introduced fans to several sketches that designers created for Bella’s Big Day. Here is Zac’s creation:

While the rumors are still just that – rumors – we Vixens are interested in what you think of Posen’s sketch.

Does this design fit the look and feel of the Breaking Dawn wedding you envisioned in your head? Why or why not?
