Twilight Saga Last Part Has A 'Global Feeling'

Director Bill Condon calls final 'Twilight' film 'epic,' while screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg promises it will be 'kick butt.'"Breaking Dawn - Part 1" has officially arrived in theaters, and you know what that means: Let the talk about "Part 2" begin!


MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with director Bill Condon and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to discuss what Twi-hards can expect from the conclusion of "The Twilight Saga."

Condon hinted that there will be a significant jump in tone between "Part 1" and "Part 2," a film he described as "epic." "['Breaking Dawn - Part 1'] is a very, very emotional, romantic story in the first half that gets dark and has elements of a horror movie in it," he said, possibly referring to the infamous birth scene.

In "Part 2," Condon said the action will focus on the larger world of vampires, which comes into the conflict with the birth of Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee. "The second one: It is truly the meeting of the vampires from around the world, so it has a really kind of global feeling," he said.

Rosenberg promised one thing: action. "The journey of the second film is survival, and it is kick butt. There's going to be some action going on there," she said.

Both Condon and Rosenberg were hesitant to comment on how the second film will end. Condon said he knows how it ends, but wouldn't offer much else, saying only, "It's an ending."

Rosenberg, on the other hand, was more giving, and said the answer lies in what Stephenie Meyer originally wrote. "It's in the book, and it felt right," she said.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Scores Fifth Biggest US Box Office Opening

The fourth vampire flick made a cool $139.5 million in its first weekend.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 has scored the fifth-biggest debut at the US box office, raking in a cool $139.5 million in its opening weekend.


Twihard fans raced to cinemas faster than Jacob Black running to try and stop Bella and Edward's wedding, giving Breaking Dawn - Part 1 a place in the record books.

The fourth instalment of the vampire flick collected $139.5 million in America - more than $30 million of which was from midnight showings early Friday - with it bagging an estimated $283.5 million worldwide.

Breaking Dawn - Part 1 now stands behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169.2 million), The Dark Knight ($158.4 million), Spider-Man 3 ($151.1 million) and 2009's New Moon ($169.2 million).

Animated penguin movie Happy Feet 2 was Twilight's nearest rival, taking $22 million at the US box office, with last week's No.1, Immortals falling to third place.

The final movie in the Twilight Saga will hit cinemas next year.

Robert Pattinson is still busy in Berlin without his Girlfriend Kristen Stewart

They have spent the last week by each other's side as they promote the latest Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn Part 1.


But Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have now been forced to separate, with the actress getting back to work on her new movie in the U.K, and the actor travelling to Berlin for yet another premiere.

And today 21-year-old Kristen appeared to be suffering from separation anxiety.

The star was spotted leaving Robert's London home looking somewhat glum.

Despite glamming it up at the recent Twilight premieres in London and L.A this week, Kristen was back to her usual uniform.

She made it a casual Friday wearing khaki trousers, a white rolled-up T-shirt, a black zip up hoodie and her signature Ray-Ban Wayfers.

Kristen and Robert have been spending a lot of time together to promote their latest Twilight film: Breaking Dawn Part 1.

And while Kristen's press duties may be over, Rob is still hard at work on the promotion tour of the movie.

He and co-star, Taylor Lautner, were in Berlin, Germany today for the premiere of the movie.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 had its opening today at midnight, and has already grossed an estimated $30.3 million.

This film features the highly-anticipated sex scenes between Kristen and Rob's characters: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

Director Bill Condon talked about the undeniable on-set chemistry between the real life couple: 'It's crazy how close they are. It's wonderful and... I feel as though because they're more relaxed with that, it added something to the movie, too.

'Because obviously, this is the part where they are together, and that's something they didn't have to act.'

The last instalment of the film's franchise, Breaking Dawn Part 2, is scheduled to be released a year from now.

Kristen is currently filming Snow White And The Huntsman in the U.K.

Taylor Lautner: I'm not Team Jacob

Taylor Lautner isn't on Team Jacob or Team Edward.

The US actor plays werewolf Jacob Black, the love rival to vampire Edward Cullen ( Robert Pattinson) in the 'Twilight Saga' film franchise and although his character eventually loses the battle for Bella Swan's heart, Taylor admitted he would have been happy whoever Bella ( Kristen Stewart) chose.

He told Irish TV show 'Xpose': "I'm not on a team to be honest, my personal opinion is that Bella couldn't have gone wrong with either of them. I'm team Switzerland, completely neutral. She's got her lover and she's got her best friend."

Taylor's character is renowned for his topless scenes in previous movies but the star was thrilled to remain fully clothed in much of 'Breaking Dawn Part 1'.

He said:"I was very grateful to pass off the shirtless duties to Rob and Kristen in this movie, they've got their clothes off much more than I do."

Taylor's co-star Robert revealed he has mixed feelings about saying goodbye to his character but loved filming his final scenes on a beach because the rest of the movies have been so gloomy.

He said: "It's kind of amazing, me and Kristen filmed our last scenes on a beach in the Caribbean which is kind of the opposite of what we've been doing on this series all along so that was quite nice. To be honest I don't really know how I feel about not going back to work in Canada or Louisiana, it's going to be weird not to put in the contact lenses again."

"Breaking Dawn" S*x Scene: Edward's "But* Crack" Edited Out

Robert Pattinson wants everyone to know why he thinks the "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" sex scene was really  edited -- there was "a bit too much butt crack."


Pattinson and the rest of the cast stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show -- where Rob tried to dispel the rumor that the scene was re-shot due to Kristen Stewart's over-zealous, uh, participation.

"There was a bit too much butt crack I think," he tells Ellen. "That was one thing I know they cut out. They didn’t cut the shot or what ever they just cut the crack out."

So how exactly do those magic movie editors remove a butt crack?  "They just painted over it ... you’re allowed to show cheek," Rob explains. "You can’t show crack."

The full interview is set to air on Nov. 18.

'Twilight': Kristen Stewart's extreme 'Twilight' transformation

The fans who lined up over the weekend to see "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1" — and there were a lot of them, considering that the fourth installment in the franchise adapted from Stephenie Meyer's bestselling young-adult novels
raked in an estimated $139.5 million — witnessed some pretty radical upheaval in the lives of young Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire beau Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

The couple marries, and during a romantic honeymoon getaway, they finally consummate their relationship. But Bella unexpectedly becomes pregnant and fights to carry the child to term, though the fetus is seemingly incompatible with her body.

To depict the great physical toll the pregnancy takes on Bella's body — she's unable to eat and essentially is withering away as her stomach swells — the "Breaking Dawn" filmmakers looked to Lola Visual Effects, the company responsible for downsizing muscular Chris Evans to a pre-transformation weakling in this summer's comic book superhero film "Captain America." The results are certainly eyebrow-raising, with Bella becoming increasingly pale and extremely gaunt.

"The idea was to leave you with a question mark about how they did it," said the film's director, Bill Condon. "We wanted you to think it was possible that Kristen actually lost a lot of weight for it."

The visual-effects team added prosthetics to Stewart's face (a process that took three hours of application) to make her eyes look more sunken and her ears larger. Stewart likened wearing the prosthetics to having a "big, skinny head" for the scenes. Still, the 21-year old actress was game for the transformation.

"I'm so happy that they were not afraid of it — to have your main character look so awful for half of the movie is a bold choice for a huge film," Stewart said. "It was the one thing I wasn't fully responsible for concerning Bella and it made me really nervous. I didn't know what it would look like until I saw the movie."

'Twilight' Movie Tickets Sales Over $283.5 Million

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" earned $283.5 million world-wide in its opening weekend, proving the vampire-romance series hasn't lost any of its bite with audiences.


The latest installment of the fantasy movie took in $139.5 million domestically and grossed $144 million abroad from 54 territories. The movie, which cost $110 million to make, was released by Summit Entertainment LLC.

At the Los Angeles premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I," Twi-hards screamed as stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner walked the black carpet. Michelle Kung was there and has details on Lunch Break.

As for domestic openings this year, "Breaking Dawn Part 1" trails only the $169.2 million opening of "Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2" in July. Unlike the Harry Potter film, "Breaking Dawn Part 1" was released strictly in 2-D and didn't receive any bump from higher-priced 3-D tickets.

The total for "Breaking Dawn Part 1" includes $30.3 million from midnight screenings on Thursday night.

Directed by Bill Condon, "Breaking Dawn Part 1," the fourth movie in a planned series of five, stars Kristen Stewart as a human teenager who marries and become pregnant by a vampire (Robert Pattinson).

The opening was in line with Summit's expectations, said Richie Fay, the studio's president of domestic distribution. Summit was initially concerned that the year-and-a-half gap since the previous "Twilight" installment, "Eclipse," might erode attendance, but fans turned out in record numbers.

As expected, women made up the majority of the audience for "Breaking Dawn Part 1," with females making up 80% of ticket-buyers.

The opening bodes well for "Breaking Dawn Part 2," the final title in the franchise, which is to be released next November.

The weekend's other big release, the animated penguin feature "Happy Feet Two," had to settle for $22 million from 3,606 theaters. The audience was primarily female, with women making up 57% of the audience. Released by Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. Pictures, the $135 million film is a follow-up to 2006's original, which grossed $41.5 million its opening weekend and $198 million domestically.

According to Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Pictures' president of distribution, the movie's opening was slightly below studio expectations, due to a weekend that was more competitive than expected.

The family film made 50% of its gross from 3-D screenings.

In limited release, the Hawaiian dramedy "The Descendents," starring George Clooney as a cuckolded father of two girls, earned $1.2 million from 29 theaters. The film, which opened Wednesday, has grossed $1.3 million to date with a strong $42,150 per screen average. Distributor Fox Searchlight will expand the theater count to roughly 420 screens in 60 different markets next Wednesday. News Corp. owns both Fox and The Wall Street Journal.

"Immortals" earned $12.3 million over the weekend, dropping 62% from the previous week, when it had been No. 1 at the box office. The Relativity Media LLC 3-D epic has cumulatively earned $53 million to date.

Twilight Saga:‘Breaking Dawn’ Kristen Stewart ‘All Close-Ups’ S*x Scenes

There has been much hype surrounding Bella and Edward’s sex scene in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” – but series star Kristen Stewart says it’s not as graphic as many are hoping it will be.

“I think, for me, it really reflects what I felt when I was reading the book,” she recently told MTV News. “It’s funny, because it’s not in the book. It’s totally just what you imagine in between those chapters, but without it, because you imagine it, it leads you to — it picks up right after, and then sort of really indulges in memory. And so I think that’s how you see it.”

So what will Twi-hards actually see Kristen and co-star Robert Pattison doing on the big screen when the next installment of “The Twilight Saga” opens next week?

“It’s not a beginning-to-end sex scene; it’s memories, it’s nice,” she explained. “So because of that, I never really got to shoot, we didn’t shoot a sex scene. It was all close-ups and such.”

During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday, the late night host asked Kristen about the much-talked-about scene.

“Somebody came in and put a stop to all the thrusting?” Jimmy said with a laugh, referring to Kristen and Robert shooting the scene.

“He’s the thruster, obviously,” she said of Robert. “Not me.”

Robert Pattinson: "I wanna get a tan"

Robert Pattinson has acknowledged the huge impact that The Twilight Saga has had on his career.

The actor, who is currently starring opposite Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants, recently revealed that he prefers promoting the period drama over his appearances for the vampire franchise.

However, Pattinson told The Mirror that, while he will be glad when filming for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 ends, he is very aware of the positive effect the movies have had on his career.

"I owe these films ­everything and it has been amazing," Pattinson explained. "But it will also be good to say goodbye.

"I wanna get a tan, show people there is more to me than Edward the vampire... Pale skin and red eyes is not a good look for me!" he joked.

The 24-year-old actor also said that he and co-star Kristen Stewart had faced "the most emotional ride" when filming Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

"We get married in the film, have a baby. The birth scenes were pretty traumatic," he admitted.

Pattinson has previously teased that the upcoming instalment of The Twilight Saga - which is scheduled for a November 18 release - is "a horror movie".

Robert Pattinson: Arsenal is the one true love I miss most now I'm in LA

Despite currently going out with movie pin-up and Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart - and being the dream date of many millions of teenagers around the world - R-Pattz singled out the Gunners above all else as the thing he misses most about England.

Pattinson now resides in Los Angeles, where his acting career has taken off since his starring role in the world-famous series of vampire films.

And speaking to Metro about what he misses most now he's based in the US of A, he said: 'I miss the newspapers - I still prefer English newspapers to US ones.

'I miss reading the sport section. I miss the football… Arsenal.'

R-Pattz has scooped more awards in the last few years than his football team, who look set to go another year without a trophy.

The 24-year-old will almost certainly have surprised many Londoners by saying he also misses the stench of the smoggy capital.

'I miss the light in London, which is different to anywhere, and also the smell of the city,' he continued, before predictably adding: 'I miss getting pints in pubs.'

He's probably one of the only ones who can afford them these days...

Kristen Stewart Glams It Up At The Met Ball With Strong Liner

Kristen Stewart rocked bold eyeliner that emphasizes her perfectly almond-shaped eyes!  Are you a fan of her strong eye look?  Sound off below and see how you can match her Met makeup!



Kristen‘s celebrity makeup artist, Beau Nelson, explains how he created her look for the evening.  Keep reading to see what he did!

The dark black liner is in strong contrast to Kristen’s otherwise very natural face, which allows her eyes to be the star of this makeup show.  In true KStew fashion, she didn’t go for an over-the-top look, but we don’t know if we’d have it any other way!

The trick to Kristen’s new eye look?  ”Kristen loves to always try something different,” said Beau, “and we’ve never done a smoky eye that stayed so close to the lashes, it was almost a little punk.”

Here’s how Beau did Kristen’s makeup:

I started by applying COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation with a synthetic brush in a circular motion to give her skin an even, radiant glow and added a touch of concealer where needed.

On her eye, we wanted to try something a little different than the traditional smoky eye, so I started by lining the entire eye with COVERGIRL LiquilineBlast in Black Fire then and smudging it all around the eye. I then went over it close to the lash line with the COVERGIRL Line Exact liquid liner in Black for added drama and diffused the edges.

To set the liner, I applied the black shade of COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke so the black would stay in place all night and finished by lining the inner rim of her eye with the LiquilineBlast.
I then curled her lashes and applied COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion in Black, 2 coats on the top and one on bottom.
On her face, I created a contour using a taupe/brown blush and added a touch of shimmer with a NARS highlighter.

On Kristen’s lips, I first applied foundation to create a nude canvas and then COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor in Kiss, applying it in a tapping motion with my finger. I finished her lips with COVERGIRL ShineBlast Lip Gloss in Glow.
