New 'Breaking Dawn' Still Released


Summit released a new still from Breaking Dawn in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Forget about Team Edward or Jacob. "It's always been Bella's story," says director Bill Condon (Dreamgirls), who was tapped to oversee the final installments of the Twilight franchise (Part 2 is due in theaters in 2012). "She starts the first of these two movies as the Bella we know. But then the journey she takes ... it's just epic." Even if you don't know each plot twist and turn from the final book in Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series, every self-respecting Twihard is aware that Breaking Dawn features Bella (Kristen Stewart and Edward (Robert Pattinson) becoming vampire man and wife and sharing a marital bed for the first time. "Finally!" laughs Condon. "It is one of the most anticipated scenes, and I spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about it. You want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise the,." And though the filmn is still in production in Louisiana, Condon says the cast and crew realize they're in the PG-13 saga's home stretch. "There's this bittersweet feeling that's already beginning," he says. "There's a real sense of wanting to go out on a high note." - Sara Vilkomerson

The Daily Beast Interviews Catherine Hardwicke

10 years after twilight , director Catherine Hardwicke opens up to The Daily Beast on new details on the film, some we've never known before. Ten years ago, the Twilight film franchise was an unknown quantity. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight, was surrounded by film executives who all but expected the vampire flick to fail. “Nobody thought this is a big, blockbuster franchise,” Hardwicke tells the Daily Beast. “There were very low expectations for Twilight, because every other studio had turned it down. They said, OK, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a very popular book for girls, and it made $39 million. That’s it. We don’t know if this could ever make us any more than that, so we don’t really want to spend more than that. The expectations were low literally up to opening weekend.” “Why do you think I got the job?” she laughs now. “Why do you think they hired a female director?
