Bill Condons intervjuer med Movieline och Movies.com
Bill Condon är regissören till Breaking Dawn. I intervjuerna nedan pratar han om Kristen och smekmånads-scenerna.
Not only that, but the idea that Bill Condon would want to direct a Twilight movie! What were the reasons you were interested in the job, and how did you go about convincing Summit you were the right director?
You’d have to talk with them but I think it was the connection to the material that I felt. Because it’s all told from Bella’s point of view, I don’t know why I hook into her so much especially in this story. And my Kristen Stewart crush, you know? The idea that she was going to take this journey, I was really exciting to collaborate with her on that.
What is your strategy in regards to what to show and what not to show to fans?
I know! Well, it was hard this time, because I think there are just basic things. You don’t want to show Bella in the wedding dress…
Why?
Because we want to, as long as we can and I hope we can keep it until opening day! We want to keep it a surprise.
You went pretty long without even announcing the dress designer. So, until opening day, will you not reveal Bella’s dress?
If we have our way, which you know will never happen. [Laughs] But I’m hoping! Certainly today in July, we’re not going to show anything in the wedding dress, and I’m not going to show anything of her pregnant because that’s a whole transformation that she goes through. So you take that out of the equation and for Bella and Edward there’s really only the honeymoon, and for Jacob, it’s really not that many scenes. So it wasn’t really hard to figure out once you got to that point.
No one wants to see — no one needs to see a full-on sex scene to have the incredibly intense experience that they’re making love, you know?
There are so many iconic scenes in the book; how do you walk the line of romanticizing the feathers-at-the-honeymoon scene, or deciding how gory to go with the birth scene, in a PG-13 movie?
You know it’s not going to be an R-rated movie, so it’s a great challenge. How do you have the experience without having to be too explicit about it. I think that’s not a hard thing to do. No one wants to see — no one needs to see a full-on sex scene to have the incredibly intense experience that they’re making love, you know? And it’s more romantic. The same with the birth; I think it’s very visceral, but it doesn’t necessarily need close-ups of certain things.
Did you track the fan reaction when the honeymoon footage leaked?
Oh, yeah. That was upsetting.
I can imagine — so much got out. But fans seemed to love what you did in that sex scene. Especially, if I may point out, the bed breaking glimpsed in the trailer. It’s sexy.
[Laughs] I think it’s good. I hope people feel that way.

Movies.com
You showed two clips today. For the clip that was of the honeymoon scene in the secluded island getaway, the thing that struck me was that there is so much silence. There isn’t a lot of dialogue. That could result in intended awkward silences or just unwanted awkwardness, can you relate how that choice came about?
Condon: That’s very intriguing. I was looking because we started to do a temp mix on the movie, and the whole last reel it’s 20 minutes long and there are only 59 lines. So maybe that’s a thing. I don’t know. But there, there is this incredible elephant in the room, and it’s called a bed. It’s between them, and it’s almost comic how much this has been anticipated. Forget about the fan anticipation, but just the anticipation of these two characters. So inevitably, it’s about what’s going on between the lines. The two actors just captured that so well. Part of it is its awkwardness is funny too, but in a very real way.
Movies.com: In other words the audience is laughing with Bella not at her as she’s flinging all these skimpy outfits out of the suitcase?
Condon: Right, right.
Movies.com: In the Hall H panel, you talked about how you feel that there is no bigger Twilight fan on the set than Kristen Stewart. Can you expand on that?
Condon: Right from the beginning she was a real collaborator. When I sit down with her with and a draft of the script and she says, “God I miss this part not being in,” most of the time we put it right back in. I think she never loses sight of what it was like for her the first time she read Breaking Dawn. She’s reading it as a fan, but also with the responsibility of giving and living up to what is expressed in the books about what Bella is feeling. She becomes an important voice to listen to in all of that. As I said we’d talk about it, then we’d rehearse it, then we’d block it, then we’d come to the day and we would still find some nuisances that we’d want to explore having reread it again the night before.”

Kristens signerade skor för Shoe Revolt
While we sleep peacefully at night, down corner alleys, behind old buildings, and along abandoned railroads, horrible and unimaginable crimes are being committed against our youth.
Shoe Revolt has committed resources to educate the masses, stop traffickers, and heal victims of these human trafficking crimes, and now we are thrilled to announce a new strategy; a teen revolt. For teenagers who live in a stable environment, the issues of sex trafficking are distant; most youth have difficulty simply grasping the concept.
Many teenagers are unaware of what sex trafficking really entails and don’t understand that it is occurring on domestic soil.
These teens are not aware of the tricks and strategies that traffickers use to exploit and imprison youth like them against their will. Because this issue is so secretive and unimaginable, teenagers simply ignore it.
Shoe Revolt feels that teens can no longer be complacent; human trafficking affects the very freedom that the United States of America promises to them all. It is time to educate and get teens involved to start a teen revolt against human trafficking.
Why shoes and celebrities? For teens, this combination is an outlet. It’s a passion. Combining something that the youth of America loves is a simple, yet powerful way to begin a dialogue about this imperative issue.
A celebrity such as Kristen Stewart donating shoes helps us connect with all teenagers despite language, ethnic, and cultural differences. Shoe Revolt is incredibly thankful for Kristin Stewart’s donation of a pair of black Keds.
Her donations will be used to raise money for shelters and to create awareness about this issue in the teen community. We can eradicate the attack on our youth in the United States by spreading the word and getting teens educated. Trafficking affects thousands of teenagers each and every day and will never be stopped without education. Shoe Revolt will give teenagers the opportunity to understand sex trafficking, which will help keep them safe. Shoe Revolt is determined to create a teen revolt by reaching out and spreading the word about sex trafficking, one celebrity donated shoe at a time.
Purchase for Kristen’s shoes will begin on August 1st.

Giru Weinberg om en rolig händelse från BD-inspelningen
Guri Weinberg spelar vampyren Stefan i Breaking Dawn.
GFYS started one day as Noel and I were walking back into our trailer after a long day's work. We each had one half of the same trailer as dressing rooms and our doors were on opposite ends. As we were opening the doors to our dressing rooms, I called out to him,
"Hey, Noel..."
He earnestly looked at me. "Yeah?"
UBER casually I say, "Go f*** yourself."
On his look of shock, I went into my room and shut the door. I admit, I was laughing pretty hard. The look on his face was priceless.
[...]
So, what could I do? I had a talk with Kristen, then Rob to arrange a spontaneous GFYS from each to accent the rest of Noel's day. They were SO into it. However, before I know it, Rob is wrapped for the day and I'm thinking he forgot. Oh, me of little faith in Rob's silliness. As he walks off set back to his trailer,
"Noel. Go f*** yourself." Rob said it so casually, Noel looked at him for a second, not believing he'd heard what he just heard. Noel looks at me.
"I can't believe you did that. Nice.", he says.
"Thanks, man." I respond. But he hasn't heard from Kristen yet. AND now we're called back to set...
The minute I walk on set, Kristen is READY to do this thing with Noel. She keeps looking at me when he's not looking, mouthing, "Now?" I'm mouthing back, "Not yet." She keeps shooting me looks every few seconds, "Now?" and I keep going "Not yet. Rob just did it." I am thinking to myself, MAN, she REALLY wants to tell Noel to go f***himself. Did he piss her off or what?!? There's a break coming up and we all come back on set. Except Kristen. I look for an A.D.
"Where's Kristen?"
"Oh, she wrapped."
NO WONDER she wanted to do it so quickly. Dammit.

Hossein Amini fixar till "Snow White"-manuset
Deadline reports that hot scribe Hossein Amini has been brought on board to do rewrites on the film. His most recent credits include Nicolas Winding Refn‘s acclaimed “Drive” and the currently shooting “47 Ronin” with Keanu Reeves, and he also had a hand in one of the many Jack Ryan reboot drafts. Set to be directed by Rupert Sanders, and starring Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart, Sam Clafin and Chris Hemsworth, the film is a retelling of the classic fairy tale which places the woodsman who is meant to bump off the titular princess front and center of the story.
This move seems to indicate a change in direction for Universal who seem to be saying disengaging from the pissing match with Relativity and saying, “we’re gonna get it right, go ahead and rush your movie out the gate.” As for Tarsem’s film, it’s still gearing up to shoot in Montreal and it will be under the wire with almost zero room for error. All eyes will be on the still untitled film to see if Relativity played it smart or gave in to their own hubris.

Sam Claflin: "She seems to be an absolute legend of a girl"
Sam: No!
Movieline: So there was no chemistry read, you were cast separately for your roles?
Sam: No, but from my understanding she seems like an absolute legend of a girl. I have a friend who worked with her, my friend Eddie Redmayne, and he says she’s really down to earth, really talented. She’s so talented, I’m a big fan of hers. So fingers crossed there’ll be chemistry. But no, I didn’t have the opportunity to meet her, which is a bit of a shame.

Nytt release-datum för Snow White and the Huntsman
UNIVERSAL CITY, CA, May 15, 2011 – Universal Pictures announced today that its epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman will make a bold move into the early summer movie season with its new release date of June 1, 2012. The much anticipated film stars Twilight’s Kristen Stewart, Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Thor’s Chris Hemsworth and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ Sam Claflin.
This breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders (Halo 3 campaign) had originally been set for release in late December of next year. With adjustments to the production timeline, however, the film will now be ready for a summer 2012 release date.
In Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the one girl threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Hemsworth) who was dispatched to kill her. Claflin plays the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.
“As Rupert and Joe were finalizing casting and preproduction of Snow White and the Huntsman, we realized that the ambitious and fully-formed world they had promised was blowing away all expectations,” said Universal Chairman Adam Fogelson and Co-Chairman Donna Langley in a joint statement. “We’re thrilled that Universal will be bringing this singular version of a timeless story almost seven months earlier than anticipated.”
Detta betyder alltså att Snövit-filmen Kristen kommer att medverka i släpps ungefär en månad innan den andra Snövit-filmen. Filmerna handlar givetvis inte om samma sak men de kommer förmodligen bli rivaler, därför är det bra att versionen Kristen är med i kommer ha release-datum först, nämligen 1 juni.

Chris Hemsworth bekräftat som 'the Huntsman' i Snow White
Now that 'Thor' opened strongly around the world, its star Chris Hemsworth is one hot Aussie hunk. He's just closed a deal for the good guy role as the Huntsman opposite Twilight Saga starlet Kristen Stewart as Snow White in Snow White And The Huntsman which is Universal's version of the fairy tale. Newcomer Hemsworth and his good looks allowed for heavy PR to drum up appeal for Thor among women with his shirtless clip a popular choice for talk shows with large female audiences. He's repped by IFA talent agency and ROAR management partner and co-founder William Ward who talent-spotted Chris during one of the manager's many scouting trips to Australia.

Universal har erbjudit Chris Hemsworth rollen som jägaren
But behind the scenes, prior to "Thor's" big weekend opening, Universal Pictures had been quietly courting the Aussie for his next big part.
That foresight appears to have paid off: Universal is now in talks with Hems-worth to play the male lead in "Snow White and the Huntsman," a rolethat for months has cycled through a revolving door of top leading men, including Viggo Mortensen, Hugh Jackman and Joel Edgerton. In Hemsworth, however, "Huntsman" gets a fresh face, hot off a starmaking turn, to play opposite "Twilight" thesp Kristen Stewart.
His casting gives the project a boost in the face of competing "Snow White" pics from Relativity(which comes six months earlier) and Disney (undated). Universal declined to comment.
Though buzz around Hemsworth built over weeks leading up to "Thor," no studio had taken advantage of his empty slate - until Universal came calling. The studio had no trouble nailing down stars Stewart and Charlize Theron since winning the bidding war on the "Huntsman" spec last fall, but has struggled to hook a male lead.
The 52-year-old Mortensen was the first to get an offer, but protracted negotations fizzled. Jackman (42) also passed, and the studio also showed interest in Joel Edgerton (37) while he was vying for "The Bourne Legacy." At 27, Hemsworth is considerably younger than previous candidates, but sources tell Variety that he can play much older, while Sam Clafin, who plays the prince and Snow White's love interest, plays much younger.
The story revolves around the relationship between the title character and the huntsman, who's ordered to kill the heroine by the evil queen (Theron). In this version, the huntsman decides intstead to help the girl escape, becoming her protector and mentor.
With only the role of the queen's henchman, Finn, yet to be cast, it looks as if project is on schedule to hits its September start date, with an eye toward a December 2012 bow.
Meanwhile, Hemsworth is about to start filming "Avengers," which looked at one point like it could present a scheduling conflict with "Huntsman" - though now that the offer's on the table, it appears they've worked out timing issues.

Hugh Jackman hoppar av "Snow White and the Huntsman"
Internet rumors had it that Hugh Jackman was being eyed for the male lead opposite Kristen Stewart in "Snow White and the Huntsman," but it never came to pass. Jackman's schedule and salary demands never really made sense for the Universal pic, which also has Charleze Theron attached. So with Jackman officially no longer being considered, it's back to the drawing board for Universal now, and the clock is ticking -- SWATH is scheduled to shoot in August.

Kristens skor
We’ve often hit up red carpets with some sneaker questions for Kristen in our pocket, but have never had time to ask (you know, questions that have a bit more substance come first). But seriously – do you not love that the girl owns a gajillion pairs of Keds, Converse and Vans and wearsthem on the red carpet? What’s more relatable than a celebrity who hates heels?

Summit Entertainment om de läckta "Breaking Dawn"-bilderna
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
