The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Three Character Posters for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 2

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 24th, 2012 at 11:10 am

The Dark Knight Rises has been hogging the poster spotlight over the past few days with six weather-themed character posters and today’s hi-res banners, but now it’s Twilight’s turn to be front and center.  Three character posters for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 have been unveiled via a fan scavenger hunt (ie. fans did the legwork to uncover marketing material).  The posters feature Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner putting on their super serious faces, and the posters all sport the confusing tagline of “Forever” even though Breaking Dawn – Part 2 is the concluding chapter of the series.  Nevertheless, fans will get their last chance to check out Brooding Pattinson and Moody Stewart before the two shake things up with the trippy Cosmopolis and a sexually-charged On the Road, respectively.  Meanwhile, Lautner is still trying to launch that action career of his.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  The film also stars Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, Billy Burke, Rami Malek, and Maggie Grace.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens November 16th.

by NairaTimourian    Posted: February 23rd, 2012 at 9:00 pm

The Twilight Saga franchise has touched the hearts of millions of book readers and fans around the world. Breaking Dawn – Part 1 has a little bit of something for everyone; the much anticipated wedding scene, the appearance of Bella’s wedding dress, the honeymoon, and the birth scene. I loved its predecessors Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse but Breaking Dawn – Part 1 has to be my favorite film so far since it fulfilled all of my expectations. Hit the jump to read my review of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 special edition Blu-ray.

While that November release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 may seem like an eternity to die-hard fans, Summit has a treat in store for those heading out to pick up Breaking Dawn – Part 1 on DVD. In nearly 500 stores across the country, EW reports that Target will be hosting the world premiere of an exclusive scene from Breaking Dawn – Part 2 during the midnight DVD/Blu-ray release of Part 1. The clip will screen at 11pm at select stores as fans are waiting in line to pick up their copy of the first half of the finale.

This is a pretty ingenious decision on Target’s part, as the store ensures that most Twihards (and by golly there’s a lot of them) will choose Target as their Part 1 DVD source. In addition to the regular edition of the DVD/Blu-ray, Target will also be selling a Limited Collector’s Edition DVD that includes—deep breath—an authentic prop flower from Bella and Edward’s wedding scene.

Possible Merger Between Lions Gate and Summit Entertainment

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: November 28th, 2011 at 6:55 pm

Earlier this month, we mentioned that Lions Gate Entertainment’s The Hunger Games must make at least $100 million in order to justify the sequels being made. While there’s no doubt in my mind the movie will make that at the box office, the independent film company does have another source of income: merge with Summit Entertainment. The studio that’s behind the current Twilight series (which has earned over $1 billion through 4 of its 5 planned films) is reportedly in talks with Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. about a potential merger. The benefit to Lions Gate would be a much-needed cash infusion. This, in turn, could ensure the production of The Hunger Games sequels, which could pay dividends for Summit if successful. Hit the jump for more on the possibility of a merger.

Christopher Heyerdahl Talks HELL ON WHEELS and THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1

by Christina Radish    Posted: November 28th, 2011 at 3:30 pm

On the AMC Western drama Hell on Wheels, actor Christopher Heyerdahl plays Thor Gundersen, also known as The Swede, who is Thomas Durant’s (Colm Meaney) ruthless head of security. His tactics help him maintain a degree of control over the chaotic traveling town, but he abuses his power to extort money from its residents.

During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, Christopher Heyerdahl talked about how he came to be a part of Hell on Wheels, what he enjoys about playing such a complex and complicated character as The Swede, that he’s developed the character through extensive research both in books and in his own Norwegian heritage, and the challenge of shooting the Western concurrently with his SyFy series Sanctuary. He also talked about playing the ancient Volturi vampire Marcus in the Twilight Saga films, the deleted scene from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 that he hopes will end up on the DVD, what audiences can look forward to with Breaking Dawn – Part 2, and what it’s been like to have the support of genre fans. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

TOP 5: SHERLOCK HOLMES Set Visit Coverage, BREAKING DAWN, MIRROR MIRROR Trailer, THE HUNGER GAMES Trailer, Wizarding World of Harry Potter Coverage

by Jason Barr    Posted: November 19th, 2011 at 11:48 am

As I write today, in the back of mind rests more than a handful of permutations for my Black Friday plan of attack. Do I really need a new 42 inch HDTV? How about various seasons of television on DVD/Blu-ray for rock bottom prices? What about one of those sweet Dyson vacuum cleaners with the roller ball? The answer to all of the above is most likely a resounding “no”, but need isn’t what Black Friday is all about. Not even close. Black Friday is all about getting something/anything on the cheap if for no other reason than because if you don’t, then the person behind you in line will. Oh, America. How I love thee.

In this week’s “Top 5″ installment you’ll find our set visit coverage for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, our review and interviews for a little movie you may have heard about called The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, the first trailer for director Tarsem Singh’s Snow White-tale Mirror Mirror, a new trailer for Gary Ross’ The Hunger Games adaptation, and Steve’s coverage from his visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. Hit the jump for a brief recap and link to each.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 17th, 2011 at 3:02 pm

I’m always surprised when I like anything Twilight-related.  I’ve written at length on how I find the subtext of the movies repulsive even though I can understand how the text can be enjoyed as shallow fantasy.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 even managed to wrap me up in that fantasy for the first half of the movie.  I’m not immune to big weddings and romantic honeymoons, and the first half is filled with happiness and humor.  Sadly, the second half of Breaking Dawn transforms into the mopey and idiotic drama I endured for the past three movies, but at least this time the series reached some glorious so-bad-it’s-good moments.

Producer Wyck Godfrey Talks THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 and PART 2, GOLIATH, SAFE HAVEN, ABC’s REVENGE, and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: November 17th, 2011 at 10:27 am

While at the big Los Angeles press junket for Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, I got the opportunity to chat with Wyck Godfrey, producer of all the films in the very popular franchise. Even though they are still hard at work at putting the finishing touches on Part 2, he is now able to step back a bit and reflect on his involvement with the entire experience.

During this exclusive interview with Collider, Wyck Godfrey talked about the great moment of elation and happiness that he had when they finished shooting, what it’s been like to see the same dedicated fans supporting them throughout, what director Bill Condon brought to the franchise and the actors’ performances, the level of secrecy involved with keeping the design of Bella’s wedding dress a secret, that there is a longer honeymoon scene and a Volturi scene for the eventual DVD, the challenges in getting Bella and Edward’s child right, and how Bella being a vampire in Part 2 is going to blow people away. He also talked about his hit ABC television series Revenge, and the next feature films that he’s focusing on – the Biblical epic Goliath, starring Dwayne Johnson, and an adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel, Safe Haven. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg Talks THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1, EARTHSEED and NBC’s AFTERTHOUGHT

by Christina Radish    Posted: November 15th, 2011 at 10:18 am

Even though the directors of the Twilight Saga films have been different for each installment, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has been a constant throughout. With the bulk of her work having ended more than a year ago, she’s already moved on to other writing and producing projects, but is also enjoying the opportunity to relive it for the release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.

During this exclusive interview with Collider, done at the film’s press junket, Melissa Rosenberg talked about the overwhelming passion of the fans, how wonderful it was to collaborate with director Bill Condon for the final two-part installment, what went into the creative decision to turn Breaking Dawn into two films, how much fun she had as a guest at Bella and Edward’s wedding, and how much she loved getting to introduce all the new characters in Part 2, due out in November 2012. She also talked about the next feature she’s writing, called Earthseed (adapted from a young adult sci-fi novel about a strong, kick-ass young woman), and Afterthought, the NBC series that she’ll be producing. Check out what she had to say after the jump.

Taylor Lautner Talks THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: November 12th, 2011 at 4:22 pm

About a week ago I attended the big Los Angeles press junket for Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.  While I already posted the press conferences with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, author Stephenie Meyer, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg & producer Wyck Godfrey, we’ve still got a number of exclusive and group interviews to post over the next few days.  And up next, Taylor Lautner.

During the press conference, Lautner talked about making Breaking Dawn, the imprint scene, crazy fan encounters, what will stick with him about playing Jacob, his thoughts on why Jacob can’t let Bella go, future projects, and if he’s bummed that after gunning after Bella for all this time, Edward gets a hot vampire bride and he gets a baby.

TOP 5: A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS, BREAKING DAWN, 21 JUMP STREET, Albert Brooks Interview, American Film Market Coverage

by Jason Barr    Posted: November 5th, 2011 at 11:55 am

Happy Saturday, folks. I’m writing to you this week surrounded by a mountain of used facial tissue (that’s right, I’m not endorsing Kleenex on the site without some sort of kick back…wait, dang it). Cold season has officially set in which means I’m on a daily regimen of Dayquil (which I have no problem endorsing), warm tea, and self-pity. In case you’re a longtime reader of the “Top 5″ and you’re wondering to yourself, “Wasn’t Jason just complaining about the summer heat?”, the answer is yes. Out of the 52 yearly weeks, I’m generally not complaining about the weather for approximately 2 or 3 of them. It’s sad, I know.

In this week’s “Top 5″ you can find our video interviews with the cast of A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, press conferences with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and more from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 junket, the red band trailer for Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum’s  21 Jump Street, a sit-down with the great Albert Brooks, and our coverage to date of this year’s American Film Market. Find a brief recap and link to each after the jump.

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: November 3rd, 2011 at 6:23 pm

Earlier today was the big Los Angeles press junket for Summit Entertainment’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.  Just a few minutes ago I posted the press conference with author Stephenie Meyer, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg & producer Wyck Godfrey, as well as the one with Robert Pattinson.  Up next is Kristen Stewart.

During the fifteen or so minutes press conference, Stewart talked about filming Breaking Dawn and the challenge of making two films at the same time, avoiding being typecast, working with Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, her fans, what’s on her iPod, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to watch.
