Jack Q & A August 7, 2012

1. Will Heart of Stone be on the BD2 soundtrack?
Jack: Yes, it will.

2. At Comic Con press conference Kristen said vamp sex was rated R, so no sex scenes in BD2 at all?!
Jack: Um, you're gonna get what you want, believe me.

3. Why isn't there a picture of Renesmee in the new calendar?
Jack: That's a good question and I honestly have no idea. There are so many new characters not in that calendar.

4. Will Renesmee be involved in the battle?
Jack: See if you can find her in that aerial shot - "Where's Renesmee?" ;-D

Please go here to view the rest of the Team Jack questions....

The Volterra arial shot in BD2 trailer, it that the REAL Volterra, Italy or just a random italian town? or CGI?

Jack: GREAT question. Bug me on this and I'll ask Bill. Actually, lemme go ask him right now...see how this works? - J.
For consistency's sake it's Montepulciano, which stood in for Volterra in NEW MOON as well http://twilightersanonymous.com/new-moon-movie-location-montepulciano-not-volterra-italy.html -J.
There's no CG present in that shot, btw. -- J.

I loved the part in the book when Charlie visits the Cullens and realizes Renesmee is E&B's child. Will this be in the movie?
Jack: It's gotta be, don't you think? Yep yep. -- Jack

Will Edward carry Bella across the threshold again?
Jack: No, Bella is a vampire now, so she's in control. You will like this. -- J.

Will Bella attack Seth in the imprinting scene like in the book or Jacob? I'd really like it if she hurt Jacob!
Jack: You'll enjoy all aspects of the scene where B. learns that J. imprinted on Renesmee. Both J. and S. are in it. - J

Can you confirm at this point that the song from the Target clip will actually make the cut? *fingers crossed*
Jack: Yes, the song from the Target clip will be in the movie, I believe. -- Jack

Will Nessie ever know that Jacob imprinted on her? that its her destiny to stay with him?
Jack: Hmmm, no I wouldn't put it that way. -- J.

• Timing

He and his podcast team - which includes Bill Condon's assistant Greg Yolen - estimate that the shoots will take place in the next two weeks or so and that the length of shoot is likely to last around four days or so.

• Additional photography" versus "Re-shoots"

Morrissey explained that the appropriate term for the shots being done is "additional photography" and not "re-shoots." Quite frankly, he stated that the shots being done in Vancouver were the consequence of missed second unit assignments.

"Here’s what I will say. The director, Bill Condon, has said to me several times, as recently as a week ago, that it is a particular point of pride for him, given his overall body of work, to have taken into production a 100 day shooting scheduled movie, a giant movie that would be released as two parts, and to have come out the other side of that and to not have a single day to not have a single scene directed by him in the so-called main unit . . . re-shot. And that includes what’s to come. Not one shot directed by the main unit over the course of 100 days on these two Breaking Dawn movies has needed to be re-shot or will need to be re-shot . . . Nothing that he directed has been re-shot or will be re-shot, which then leads us to be able to say that most of [what’s to come] is stuff that’s from the second unit," Jack Morrissey said.

"On Breaking Dawn, for everything that was to the second unit director . . . was drawn out, storyboarded, developed and agreed to, so everybody knew exactly what those shots were meant to look like once they were executed . . . The coming additional photography is stuff that was conceived, developed, and was to be executed by the second unit during the period of principal photography. For various reasons, it was not executed by the second unit . . . So, now, because it was not executed by the second unit, up you all go . . . to get what should’ve been gotten [during] principal photography. It’s just that simple.”

• Rob, Kristen, and Michael Sheen involved

“It’s less than a week, and we already know that Rob and Kristen will be there; I just tweeted yesterday that yes, there will be wigs involved, but I did blur the line by pointing out that Michael Sheen will also doubtless be spotted throughout the Vancouver airport to reprise for one last time his part of Aro the leader of the Volturi . . . As Bill mentioned in his letter to the fans, Rob and Kristen will be donning their gold contacts one last time . . . She’s donning both [red and gold], and Michael Sheen will be donning red.”

• Praise for Michael Sheen

Greg Yolen observed, "Michael Sheen is so good . . . he just tears it up in this film.”

• The bottom line on the shots to be done

“There’s not much to [the shots]. There’s no dialogue involved. Just little pick-ups.”

Will the scene with Denali's mother and newborn baby vamp be in Part 2?

• Jack: You mean the immortal child ;-D

Should we try to talk to Jackson about getting 100 monkeys on the BD2 soundtrack?

• Jack: Good luck!

What was the funniest thing that happened during the recording of BD2?

• Jack: I couldn't tell you - I was only there for a day of it.

BD2 Trailer at Comic-Con? And Bill and Robsten? WB- And you, PLEASE! :P And @erikodom!

• Jack: Way too soon to tell for any of it.

Will the songs from the BD Target clip be on the soundtrack?

• Jack: I think you only heard one song, no? And I suspect that one song will be, yes.

In Target preview Bella's eyes are not red nor reddish. What gives? Is it pre-colorization? Bella hides RED eyes.

• Jack: Sometimes she wears contacts in the movie, but that was probably pre-coloring. (JM)
• @twilidiot At that point in the book, Bella's eyes are described as no longer bright red.
• Jack: Thanks, Gretchen. What she said!!!

When it came to the edit process of BD did Stephenie have anything to do or say about it, or was it all Bill?

• Aside from the however many seconds of "Thrustgate", the cut is pretty much how Bill made it. I don't remember Stephenie having many notes. I heard she was very very happy with the movie.

Why did they change the engagement ring in BD2?

• Greg says the ring wasn't changed.

During transformation the last image is Charlie and Renee holding a baby Bella. Is that her own memory?

• Yes, remember she's seeing herself in a mirror.

Jack Morrissey (Bill condon's partner) answer more questions regarding BD1 and BD2. Thanks to the ladies at TeamJack for always putting these q&a together :)

what does Alice say at the reception. "Aversion" or "Virgin" of fashion?

Jack's answer: AVERSION

I really want @100MonkeysMusic on the BD part 2 soundtrack! Is it possible? It would be AWESOME!

Jack's Answer: Hope Springs Eternal!

Why wasn't there a voice over on Bella on how she was feeling as if the movie were on her point of view like the previous movies?

Jack's Answer: I couldn't say, honestly. Just an artistic choice, I guess.

Can you explain what the credits scene was all about?

Jack's Answer: That's the single best frame in that entire movie. ;-P What didn't you understand about the epilogue?

Follow up: Who wrote the letter and what does Aro want from them?

Jack Morrisey is back to answering questions regarding Breaking Dawn both parts 1 & 2 and even the dvds. A huge thanks to the ladies at TeamJack Blog who are great about rounding up all these  questions together for us.




“Was the scene filmed where Edward bites the pillows?”

• Schnope!

"Is Bella wearing pajama jeans in the first scene?"

• Uh...I have no idea. Check the Blu-ray in two weeks 

"Why does the bridal bouquet disappear during the wedding? Bella has it at the beginning then nothing?"

• She tossed it? No idea. Sorry! There's no deleted scene there, I don't think.

"I would love to know why the Volturi's "home" is different from what we saw in New Moon."

• Bill and his production designer Richard Sherman wanted to go in a different direction with that set.

"How long was the first cut of BD1?"

The sweet @Jack_Morrissey tweeted the display at Hot Topic of Breaking Dawn: Part 1 merchandise

Jack, how will BD1 end? Will we see red eyes? Vamp Bella? Renesmee?

• You don't really want to me to give away the ending, do you?

Does Bill have any plans to slip a little something at the end of the BD1 credits? Perhaps a glimpse of BD2?

• Hope springs eternal!

Rob is going to speak Portuguese in the film, right?

• Yes.

What is Bill’s favorite part of BD1?

• A favorite moment of his is when Bella becomes pregnant.

The film Twilight had blue lighting. Do the BD films have a signature color?

• Signature colors are something Catherine Hardwicke does. For example, check out “Red Riding Hood.” Also, we have too many locations for one color. You’ll notice the marketing materials-posters, calendar, trading cards--have the colors of dawn breaking.

Were the wedding rings added post production?

• No, they were not. As Bill mentioned at Comic Con, the fans spoke out when the first Rio stills were released and they did not see wedding rings. Originally, Stephanie Meyer did not have wedding rings as part of the plan to stay consistent with Edwardian customs. The decision to go without rings was reconsidered after fan feedback. Since the bit that was shot without rings was brief, it was unnecessary to go back and add rings.

Why did the character’s hair change for Breaking Dawn?

• Here's the thing about the haircuts and/or wigs: as Bill said at Comic-Con, he felt like BD was about growing up for most of the characters, or certainly moving beyond high school, so the hair choices are about that. You may like this one but not that but that was the intention and the hair and makeup artists are all extremely talented. And Bill knows his way around this stuff from DREAMGIRLS, which was all wigs all the time. There was thought and design behind all of it, but as with everything in both parts of BD, that doesn't mean you have to agree with the thought or design, or like it. That's just movies. A team of the best people you can get all work hard with a director, and those choices and decisions get filmed and edited anyway.

Vampires are having an OUTDOOR wedding? Was Team BD worried about the sparking?

• Lots of care was devoted to making sure that no one on THAT SIDE of the aisle would be seen sparkling by the bride's side!

• The wedding was the very last sequence shot by the main unit and there was a whole weather concern with it because, as an outdoor TWILIGHT vampire wedding, they couldn't shoot in rain, nor with any real direct sunlight. In the end, the weather was perfect for those final shoot days.

Are the Breaking Dawn films coming out in 3D?

• The decision was made early on not to film either chapter in BD 3D.

How does the director go about which songs appear under which scenes in a movie? Also, how does one determine where the orchestral score is placed?

• Every single movie happens uniquely--you kind of have to know someone who worked on. or close to any specific movie in order to know how it all happened and came together. And, for these two BD movies, you do!

• For PART I movie--in broad terms--Bill received CDs with submitted songs. He and his team listened to each song a number of times and then take only the songs they like and try them under certain scenes. Once a song feels like a great fit with a scene musically, and sometimes even lyrically, the producers (including Stephenie) watch/listen, as did the music supervisor and studio execs, and approve.

• When scoring the film, first the director, the editor, and their team try a temporary score cue over this scene, or a song under that scene, until they get the movie roughly where they want it to be musically. Then the composer and director "spot" the movie in a spotting session, where they talk through all of the score cues needed, what and how they need to be, and when they need to start and finish. Once agreed upon, the composer goes off and composes.

Can you get us a premier in our city/certain actors to show up?

• Sorry, those decisions are in the hands of other people. We have no control over that at all.
