Yesterday we brought you
Part 1 of the fansites interview with Bill Condon where he spoke about Robert Pattinson & Breaking Dawn.
Part 2 just went up and while there are not really as many mentions of Robert Pattinson as there were yesterday it's still a really good read.
Here's a little taster
Q: I have a question. Melissa Rosenberg, when she was talking about the birth scene, she always kind of said something to the effect of “Well, I wrote it and now it’s up to Bill how he wants to do it”. And I was kind of wondering, what do you have to add to that?BC: In terms of the birth?
Yeah. What did you see? Like how did you see doing it?BC: Again, the basic idea there was—went back to the approach of the novel which is let’s have her give birth and only see what she can see. So it’s all from her point of view, right? And for me, that allows us to do things like oh my God, he’s coming back into frame and he’s got blood on his teeth! He just bit through something. And if you know what he bit through then you know, but if you don’t, you don’t, you know? So it’s like—it gives—I think for people who know it intimately it gives us that moment: “oh my God, the baby’s just bitten her”. But we don’t see it, you know. It’s only what she can see. So that was the approach there.
Q: Was the weather problematic at all in Brazil, too? I mean I’m thinking of the water and—BC: Yes.
(laughter)
BC: No, that was a pretty—you know we were on this island near Paraty, sorta 45 minutes available just by boat, and at the end of our, I think, second, maybe third, night of shooting we go to get in our boats to go back to the village and there’s a storm, which turns into a typhoon and we’re stuck there all night. It’s 80 people on the floor, and one bottle of vodka that they found in the wine closet!
Oh no! (laughter)
JM: Sleeping on the floor of the set.
BC: Sleeping on the floor of the set. We were all—Stephenie was on a huge mattress and we’d hang around her for awhile. It was amazing, yeah so…
Q: So kinda tying back with the end, like what do you most want to convey to the fans, to anybody who sees this?BC: Huh…
It’s a loaded question.
BC: That’s a big question. Yeah. Um…
We don’t bite we promise.
BC: I know, it’s just hard to put into words, you know? [I] just hope that it’s a satisfying next step in the journey and I think the reason I took the movie on is that it represents Bella, Edward, and Jacob growing up. I mean that’s the essence of the movie and that’s what excites me; it’s watching them move past the last moments of childhood into being adults and everything that that represents.
