Filmmaker Statement Regarding Leaked Breaking Dawn Photos
Here’s the official statement from Summit Entertainment about the Breaking Dawn leaked photos and video.
Dear Twilight Saga fans,
As some of you may know, pictures and screen grabs of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as a work in progress have leaked on the internet. We are extremely proud of this film and also extremely heartbroken to see it out there at this stage.
The film and these images are not yet ready or in their proper context. They were illegally obtained and their early dissemination is deeply upsetting to the actors, the filmmakers and Summit who are working so hard to bring these movies to fruition to you in November 2011 and November 2012.
Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don’t view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.
Sincerely,
Stephenie Meyer, Bill Condon, Wyck Godfrey and Summit Entertainment
We at BreakingDawnMovie.org decided not to post the photos out of respect for Summit and all involved with the Breaking Dawn film. Thank you to everyone who sent the tips in about the leaked photos though.
Thoughts on all the photos and Summit’s statement?

Breaking Dawn Filming News: Wyck Godfrey Answers Some Of Our Burning Breaking Dawn Questions!
USA Today has an awesome new interview with Twilight Saga Producer, Wyck Godfrey. In the interview Wyck answers some of the more frequent questions the fans have had surrounding Breaking Dawn -
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.”
EXCITING! I really think that Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 is going to be amazing!

Breaking Dawn Filming News From Louisiana’s Scene Weekly
Scene Weekly has this awesome fan encounter with Twilight Producer Wyck Godfrey at a LSU game in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Fans of Twilight in Louisiana and across the world have paid close attention to Baton Rouge since The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn began filming a few weeks ago. While Baton Rouge is no stranger to big productions, few places in the world are accustomed to the ever-bright spotlight that accompanies the popular vampire romance films.
Scene’s exclusive interview with Winston Achee, the man in charge of security for Twilight’s studio of choice in Baton Rouge, went viral in less than a few hours. Picked up by Perez Hilton, MTV.com and others, including a host of fan sites dedicated to chronicling every mention of Twilight, the instant interest in our piece illustrates the appetite for information about the film. But while the filming of Breaking Dawn in Brazil was disturbed by paparazzi and fans alike, Baton Rouge has openly, and respectfully, received the project.
As Twilight has fallen on Baton Rouge, some other news outlets have been less considerate than Scene of the actors’ and filmmakers’ space, reporting on specific filming on location and even revealing their places of residence. Yet, there have been no negative incidents to report. Actors and filmmakers have been largely allowed to simply work. And the respect has been reciprocal.
While attending the LSU vs. Ole Miss game with Scene Magazine and other film industry professionals, Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey was approached by an exhuberant fifteen year old fan. In true Tiger spirit, he graciously posed for the photo at left before entering the Chancellors Party to tailgate as a guest of the university.
Work continues in Louisiana on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. With almost an entire year until part one of the two-part finale debuts in theaters, there is quite a long wait ahead of them. But luckily, this weekend brings an early Christmas gift. On December 4, The Twilight Saga’s blockbuster third installment, Eclipse, will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray everywhere.

Stephenie Meyer Talks About a Rated-R Breaking Dawn
The woman who has caused all of this mass-hysteria that is Twilight, Stephenie Meyer author of The Twilight Saga has quite the job in front of her with Breaking Dawn being filmed starting this fall. Breaking Dawn is the most graphic of the 4 books. Everyone’s talking about breaking headboards and shredded feather pillows and gory birth scenes. Stephenie plans to be all in when it comes to sticking to a PG-13 final film.
“It’s really a lot about being…in the room,” the Twilight author confides. “And it’s going to be a lot of upheaval in my life, but I felt like it was important. And then also, it’s the last one. So I kinda feel like, I’m going to commit to this for this year, I’ll get it done, and then I won’t do that again.”
The suits at Summit still claim they can do the book justice without creating an R-rated movie. Producer Wyck Godfrey reveals, “I’m unwavering in my belief that these will be PG-13 movies. And really, I say that not because I know what we’re shooting but because I feel that they should be. I feel like the audience of the books and the movies, many of them are under 18…I can’t make an R-rated conclusion to the franchise.”
Not to mention that Stephenie’s Mormon faith counsels against watching R-rated movies. So she’ll probably want to keep it PG-13 anyway.
Not that I care. Just as long as I can see my Cullen family. Edward. My Alice. A shirtless Edward. Marcus & The Volturi, and Jacob saying ‘sure, sure’ a few times, I’m good.

Breaking Dawn Producer Talks Plans for Birth Scene
Producer of the Twilight films, Wyck Godfrey has a huge job on his hands:Breaking Dawn. If you thought reading and or understanding the largest book of the saga was difficult, can you imagine being involved in making a movie for a story of this caliber? Whether its sex scenes, Isle Esme, or the 3-D debate Wyck assures us that they are listening to us the fans. Here’s what the producer had to say. Beware, spoiler alert!
Twilight Saga producer Wyck Godfrey has revealed how the filmmakers are considering handling Breaking Dawn‘s graphic birth scene, and why 3-D is still an option for the final installment of the franchise.
My wife’s an OB-GYN so we should bring her on set to make sure that if Edward is going to do an oral Cesarean, he really needs to make the proper incision with his teeth.” Then, he shared the anti-gore rational that, I have to admit, makes perfect sense:“I think the one thing that we’ve done that we’ve really done in all the films is keep them very subjective and keep them from Bella’s point of view. So the conversations we’ve had with Bill, is that we’ll try to do something similar here; you’re with Bella’s perspective and her point of view of what’s taking place in the rush around her, as she’s in intense pain. Not so focused, objectively, on her body and his body and that. So I think it’ll be something like that, in terms of trying to make the audience experience and feel the confusion, almost, of what’s happening to her.”
When rumors first broke in February that producers were considering going 3-D for Breaking Dawn, 67 percent of readers responding to a PopWatch poll didn’t like the idea. But Godfrey makes a reasonable case for that as well:
“We have considered it, and everything’s being discussed, but I know that part of a way to differentiate the two movies would be to have one be in 2-D, and when she becomes a vampire we move into 3-D. But we haven’t really gotten far enough to decide what we’re going to do. I’m of two minds of it, frankly, and I think everyone is; I don’t want to chase the format if it’s not organic and appropriate. If we think it is, we will.”
I personally don’t think 3-D is wise. But that’s why I’m not in the movie business. Maybe it will come out fantastic, but I’ll pass on a 3-D Breaking Dawn. Check out the full story here.
It’s still so early. Who knows what the Twi-Gods will decide. I’m just greatful this film is being made…I’ll take whatever I can get. What are your thoughts?
