Bill Condon interview with Movie Line

By | Published Sunday, November 13, 2011

Talks Breaking Dawn, wedding, Kristen, Robert.. Nice interview!

bill_condon_getty300.jpg

Every director who’s gone through the whirlwind circus that is filming and releasing a Twilight movie eventually gets to relax and breathe a sigh of relief, but Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters, Dreamgirls) still has miles and miles to go. Fans and critics will finally see what the Oscar-winner brings to the YA vampire franchise when The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 hits theaters Nov. 18, but if they find themselves displeased with his treatment of Stephenie Meyer’s beloved novel, it could be a tough year’s wait until Condon’s simultaneously-shot series ender (Breaking Dawn - Part 2) concludes the series next fall.
But! Judging from the temperature of the Twilight community thus far, Condon probably needn’t feel anxious; he’s played the Summit game so far with palpable enthusiasm for the tale of one Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and her angst-ridden coming of age saga, earning fan support along the way. Fully aware that much rides on getting Breaking Dawn - Part 1’s big moments right — the wedding, the honeymoon, the butter-hued love-making, and its gory repercussions — Condon collaborated creatively with the series’s best expert (Stewart, “the biggest Twi-hard in the world”) but took care to put his own cinematic stamp on Breaking Dawn. 
Condon rang Movieline the other week and discussed his pre-release nerves, the Breaking Dawn on set dance-off that warmed his heart, the question of the “gay sensibility” he may or may not have brought to the Twilight franchise, what big plans might be in store for Breaking Dawn 1 & 2 on DVD/Blu-ray, and more. 
How are you feeling in this moment, knowing the films about to start being seen, finally, after all this time? 
I know! Well, anxious, obviously. But excited, too. Because you live in a cocoon for so long, and we don’t do big previews or anything like that, so it’ll be fun, you know?
I think the big three — wedding, honeymoon, birth. You just felt like those, you’ve got to get right.

Sarah Clarke Talks About Breaking Dawn and Kristen

By | Published Wednesday, November 2, 2011



Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) opens November 18th. Lots of excitment over this one.

I know, I know. There’s just so much that happens. Bill Condon (Director) did such an amazing job on it. It’s really going to be worth the wait.

Tell us about playing Bella’s mother.

It’s such a weird role {laughs}. An enigmatic one for me, because when reading the books I was like, “Where’s the mom? What is she doing?” Bill and I had a great time with Kristen sort of figuring out the relationship, especially with the wedding and how it brings up all the old bonds that never really go away.

I definitely had to make my peace with the kind of mother that I am as Renee because I would be just a lot more involved {laughs}. So it was a very interesting discussion that Kristen and I ended up having in terms of the role reversal in our relationship.

In light of the storyline that includes Bella’s marriage and pregnancy in the film, will we finally see more of you onscreen?

Oh yea. We have some great scenes. I do get to come to the wedding, so I get to have a lot of those conversations that I was hoping would happen. And they do happen. Bill was such a firm believer that we have to believe that this mother was real – that there really is some connection that grounds her in reality because that makes the transition that much harder for her. It can’t be just about the dad and his inability to communicate, you know? It definitely brings for Renee this idea of a full circle to her own marriage and her own reasons for getting married quickly, and then sort of abandoning my family. None of that really comes out, per se, in the story lines but it’s something that resonates through Renee at the wedding and in what her daughter is embarking on.

What has been the best part of being part of the Twilight phenomenon?

It is a phenomenon and I would have to say just getting to work with these people. I enjoy Kristen and I was really happy I got to play her mom. I feel such an affinity for her and I really like her a lot, and Rob as well. Working with all the directors. Just to watch something on this scale unfold and to watch the progression of it from the first movie (which you would have thought was was an independent film the way we were shooting it), to the way it was by the end. It really did have a grand scale to it, and that doesn’t come around very often.

Modus FX Crafts Subtle CG for Breaking Dawn Part 1

By | Published Friday, October 21, 2011


Press Release from Modus FX
awn.com Montreal, Que: Oct 20, 2011... Montreal-based studio Modus FX recently delivered invisibly integrated visual effect shots for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. The latest installment in the wildly popular romantic vampire series based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer opens in theatres on Nov 18. Incorporating a stylized look as a visual expression of the more-than-human qualities of the characters, the film required seamless CGI (computer-generated imagery)and a refined aesthetic.

A team of 12 artists at Modus had six weeks to complete 42 shots for the film, which included creating a pregnant belly for lead actress Kristen Stewart, digitally removing a wrist brace she was wearing in another sequence and a variety of subtle cosmetic refinements.
Yanick Wilisky, visual effects supervisor and co-founder of Modus FX, described the challenges of creating organic CG. “We are all so used to seeing organic objects and surfaces. If something is just slightly off, you know it’s fake - even if you can't put your finger on exactly what the problem is.”

Making Stewart look pregnant was one of the tasks assigned to Modus. “They wanted the baby to kick and move inside her belly,” said Wilisky. “We had to match the camera moves, the lighting, even the film grain, along with the subtleties of her skin.”

In fact, according to CG supervisor Martin Pelletier, “The two hardest things to work with in CG are water and skin.”

Hitfix.com: Movie Power Rankings! (Breaking Dawn mentioned...)

By

Movie Power Rankings:

1. "The Avengers" (last week no. 2)
Joss Whedon's expected blockbuster just might live up to the hype.

2. "The Dark Knight Rises" (last week no. 3)
You can say goodbye to Pittsburgh, but you can't get the paparazzi off your back. This week: Gary Oldman and Marion Cotilard.

3. "The Hunger Games" (last week no. 12)
Finally, the first footage of the much-hyped "expected" franchise will be revealed on Sunday. We're waiting to be impressed.

4. "Wolverine 2" (not ranked)
Did you ever think you'd have to wait until 2013 for another 'Wolverine' movie? Trust us, neither did Hugh Jackman or the execs at 20th Century Fox.



5. "The Twilight Saga" (last week no. 8)
Wait - an MTV Awards show without some sort of 'Twilight' sneak peek? RPattz in the house? KStew? Um, Taylor…? Whew, that was close.

Full list, here.

Ashley Greene Shopping For Kristen Stewart’s Wedding Dress On ‘Breaking Dawn’ Set!

With no desire to choose her own wedding gown, Kristen relies on Ashley while filming ‘Breaking Dawn!’

As every Twilight fan knows, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is not one for fashion, so when it comes time to pick her wedding gown for her big day she relies on the one person who lives for it — Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene)! Bella is of course not very responsive, or super appreciative, to Alice’s efforts, but she does end up making for a stunning bride!


It does not stop at the dress either as the day of
the wedding Bella arrives to find a mini salon and beauty parlor set up for her, with Alice ready to transform her entire look.

They say every bride should look their most beautiful on their wedding day, and with Alice’s help Bella definitely will!

Would you let your friend pick out your wedding dress HollywoodLifers?
