Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 release is mere days away, on November 18, and earlier today the studio held a large press junket here in Los Angeles. While the reporters knew that screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and producer Wyck Godfrey were going to be talking today, we were all surprised when Twilight author Stephenie Meyer showed up to also talk to the press. If you're not aware, Meyer hasn't done a lot of press since the first film, so it was no surprise that most of the questions were aimed at her.During the twenty or so minute press conference, Meyer's was asked if she would continue writing books in the Twilight universe, the differences between the books and the films, the birth scene, the decision to make Breaking Dawn into two films, her reaction to seeing the finished film, and a lot more. Hit the jump to watch the video.
