With The Twilight Saga: Eclipse finally in theaters, it’s time to post my final interview and it’s with producer Wyck Godfrey. As the producer of all the Twilight movies, Godfrey is in the unique position to be able to talk about the franchise in a way the actors and even the directors can’t. After all, while an actor might be able to talk about filming a certain scene or what it was like for them working with the director, Godfrey is the person who can explain why they chose to film a certain way or why they wanted a certain actor or director to be a part of the franchise. To put it simply: producers are the ones with all the answers.
Anyway, during the interview Godfrey talks about making Eclipse and what fans can expect on the DVD/Blu-ray. We also talked a lot about Breaking Dawn including how they’ll be filming it in Louisiana and Vancouver, how long does he expect the movies to be, how did they get Bill Condon to direct them, and a lot more on the next two films. We also talked about the eventual ultimate DVD/Blu-ray box set for Twilight, his other projects with Channing Tatum and Amy Adams, and way more than I can put in this intro. It’s a great interview so take a look:

- 4:00 – Has there been any talk about doing an ultra box set for all the Twilight movies on DVD/Blu-ray
- 4:25 – Do they have anything that they’re saving for the big box set
- 5:05 – Bill Condon talk. How surprised was he that they got him for Breaking Dawn

Hey, superbly-crafted interview, Steve!
I know that the opportunity probably won't come around until the next press junket happens (for Breaking Dawn or after)…but, if you get to ask Wyck further questions about the “outtakes” for the final 5-DVD Collector set of all the completed Twilight films – would you please try to find out if all the footage that Catherine Hardwicke shot of Rob Pattinson improvising on the piano (with KStew looking on) for the first film, still exists? It is the scene which immediately follows the infamous “spider-monkey/high up in the tree/helicopter” scene. I remember reading that Catherine did not yet have the score or original theme (which utlimately was married to the re-shoot of the scene used))…so she asked RPattz to improvise, while she shot “back-up” footage. It was never used…but, in retrospect – that footage would be a supremely tasty addition to the DVD “extras', do you not agree (considering Rob's musical prowess on the piano)?
