Bryce Dallas Howard Talks Eclipse Fight Scene

I believe someone referred to the Eclipse Finale as EPIC. Cannot wait! Bryce Dallas Howard, our new Victoria spoke to MTV recently....

“There’s quite an extraordinary finale,” Howard told MTV News of the scene that took weeks of intense fight training to prepare for. “That was very fun to do.” Howard was careful not to reveal any details about the pivotal scene, but she did concede that the battle will likely trump the ballet-studio fight in “Twilight” and the Volturi rumble in “New Moon.”

“The producers were saying it’s the biggest spectacle filmed thus far in this
franchise,” she said. “There’s a newborn army that’s been raised for battle. It’s a true battle scene.”

Lots of Talk About Breaking Dawn

It seems everywhere you look on-line, they are discussing Breaking Dawn and what Summit will do with this book-to-movie. Many people think they should break the book into two movies, while others aren't so sure (I, btw am one of those NOT sold on two movies). Whichever side you are on, one thing we can all agree on is that it SHOULD and WILL be made into a movie. Reports are popping up all over claiming that Summit wants to make it into two movies to a) capitalize on the financial success of the saga and b) be able to keep true to the very lengthy book (754 pages).

This morning Yahoo reports...

Big Questions Surround the Final 'Twilight' Film
by Chrissy Le Nguyen · December 3, 2009

Independent film studio Summit Entertainment has got quite a gem on their hands, and its name is the "Twilight" series.

The first movie quickly became a blockbuster box-office hit in 2008 despite early concerns that the book series' rabid fan following wouldn't translate to ticket sales. The second, "New Moon," has grossed over $481 million worldwide since its premiere on November 20. The third installment of the franchise, "Eclipse," wrapped up shooting back in October and is slated to release June 2010.

With the enormous success of the franchise so far, Summit is already working to adapt Stephenie Meyer's fourth and final book in the series, "Breaking Dawn," into a movie. Currently, the studio is deciding whether or not it's best to split the 754-page book into two pictures, along the same lines as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

According to Variety, a two-parter is the path Summit is pursuing for "Breaking Dawn," with hopes that "New Moon" director Chris Weitz will return to helm both pictures. If the two-film route does come to fruition, Summit would have to negotiate new deals with the main cast -- Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner -- since they are only under contract for four features.

But there's a bigger issue to worry about here: How will they transfer the complex and graphic storylines in "Breaking Dawn" to the big screen? With even the biggest "Twilight" fans split on whether they love or hate the book, there's no question that its content will pose a handful of problems for a movie adaptation.

"Breaking Dawn" contains -- SPOILER ALERT! -- huge sections addressing
the complications of vampire/human sex, an unconventional pregnancy, and the
gory birth of a half-vampire, half-human baby. On top of that, there's a chunk in the middle of the book where Jacob takes over narration duty from Bella, leading up to him "imprinting" on the newborn child (translation: The teenaged werewolf falls in love with an infant).

Nowadays, nothing is impossible with a bit of movie-making magic. From
a sparkly vampire to a boy who transforms into a wolf the size of a horse, computer-generated effects can work wonders. But just because it can be done
doesn't mean it will live up to expectations. Stephenie Meyer has even expressed her worries on her official site: "The one thing that I've never seen is a CGI human being who truly looks real. An actress can't play Renesmee [the half-vampire baby], at least not when she's a few days old... She would have to be a construct, and CGI isn't quite there yet."

Special effects aside, the mature and explicit nature of "Breaking Dawn" will be a challenge for the studio to keep at a PG-13 rating. They'd have to leave out a lot of the material or figure out a way to tone it down. But in doing so, they run the risk of upsetting fans. On the flip side, if the film version requires an R rating, parents may be wary of sending their teen girls to the movies. Tough call.

What do you think? Can "Breaking Dawn" be successfully transferred to the silver screen? Will it be able to stay true to the text? Is Summit up for the challenge?

Melissa Rosenberg Talks About My Very Favorite Scene!! (well one of my favorite scenes)

The tent scene proves (imo) once and for all how much Edward loves and what he is willing to do for Bella. Ahhhh love....

Twilight Saga screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg talked to Reelz the other day and
offered up some info about Eclipse. In particular, she teased the infamous tent
scene:

In Eclipse we’re going to see this triangle between Edward, Bella, and Jacob. And I think we’re going to see a lot of heat between these characters. Because Jacob has been so well established now in New Moon, he’s a real rival now. So I think he’s going to throw that relationship into upheaval. We had to have the tent scene. This is one of Stephenie’s favorite chapters in all the books she’s written. It had been building to this scene: Bella’s in a tent with Jacob and Edward, and they’re trapped in this tent, and Jacob’s keeping Bella warm. And it’s an incredibly tense scene — but finally these guys are talking to each other. And it’s a really interesting conversation.

Interesting conversation.....Ah, yeah I'll say.
