Discussion Topic: Thoughts on Breaking Dawn

Here is this week’s discussion topic! If you have an idea for a topic, email it to tips@team-twilight.com!

Cohen and I were discussing Breaking Dawn, and we decided we need to have a Discussion Topic on what we want from the Breaking Dawn film. Do you want one film or two (I sincerely doubt Summit would consider making more than two films)? Would you want it on IMAX? Would you like to see it in 3D? How do you feel about the story being changed for the film? What scenes MUST be in the film(s) and what scenes are OK to skip?

I would love to see it on IMAX! I’ll tell you for sure after I see Eclipse on IMAX! I read on Twitter someone was talking about making it in 3D but I don’t see why that’s necessary. Not sure I want to see that birthing scene in 3 dimensions. lol Also, I am OK with one or two films. One because then we won’t have to wait as long. Two because then there will be less that will be left out, and it can drag out the obsession EVEN longer.

I love Breaking Dawn as a book but I think a lot of it will be hard to translate to screen (the pregnancy, the birth, the imprinting), so I won’t be surprised if they change it a good deal for the film. I am trying to prepare myself for that now so if/when they do change a bunch, I will be more forgiving.

OK, sound off in the comments!! Tell me what you want to see!

    what can we say??

    I would like that they make two movies for BD. maybe the first one could end with bella opening her red eyes. I hope they forget about the PG-13 thing, because there is so much story in the book that they would have to cut out. i wanna see the wedding, the honeymoon, the pregnancy, the jokes jacob said about rosalie, the birth of renesmee (just like it is on the book), the werewolves imprinting, bella as newborn, and when it comes to the volturies I would love to see a fight, that something goes wrong before alice shows up. I agree with calla_lily319 peter jackson should do the second movie, that would be great!!

  • SO the movie should definitely be in 2 parts!! they will cut out wayy to much and it'll make me so mad! I rather wait and have everything in the movie. Also 3d im not so sure about. I cant wait for Bella to be a vamp!! omg!!! especially when shes "fighting", thats something I would like for them to change a bit, Bella didnt actually fight! i mean c'mon!! at least do a punch or something. Cant wait for Isle Eme!! omg the pillow!!! seriously!! i hope they actually show him bitting the pillow, lol- thats so cute!! June cant come soon enough

    Breaking Dawn is the final chapter of the Twilight Saga and carries a lot of information. If they do it in 2 movies that would be awesome but they must not lose any off the important stuff. Telling Charlie, the wedding, honeymoon, while Bella is pregnant and in pain (Edward being in pain and hating whatever is growing in Bella and then starts loving the child when he can hear the childs thoughts), the birth, imprinting (that was just awesome), Bella's transformation, the hunt, Charlies visits, the practice for the Voltarri fight (where Renesmee get's used so Bella can expand her power), Bella & Emmet doing the hand press and Bella kicking his ass and Renesmee finding it very funny. Bella getting the passports and of course the stand off and then Bella letting Edward see into her thoughts. It is a lot but without that, it is not Breaking Dawn and Summit dont have to bother making the movie. It must all be there otherwise what is the point of the movie if the most important information is lost. I definately want it to be 2 movies, I am so looking forward to it. Just hope they get it right this time around.....

  • Jo_Seph.. Team Jacob!! XD

    it shouldn't be in 3D.. that would just be awful and would ruin the whole film.. if they did it in 3D then i will definately be watching and buying the 2D version.. and i think that two films might be a good idea..they can fit it all in then :D as long as they're not too far apart in being released

  • Rob4Deb

    No 3D thats just wrong!!!

    There is ZERO point in making BD into a film if it DOESN'T include The Wedding, the honeymoon (OMG I cannot wait to see Isle Esme on screen, the anticipation is killing me!!) the pregnancy, the birth, the transformation, the imprinting.

    I personally don't care if its one film or two I just want it made and I want to see Edward biting those damn pillows!!

    xx

  • ashblog89

    I WANT 2 BREAKING DAWN MOVIES! lol. I think 3d isnt a good idea..But they should still bring it to IMAX. I have to have Isle Esme, The Pregnancy and birthing, and the transformation for sure. I think Jacobs Imprinting is a neccesisity!! They should def find a way to include that. They could end the first movie as a cliff hanger where bella is giving birth and about to transform into a vamp. Then the second film would be bella as a vampire. I cant wait and Im with all of u i want it to last for forever. lol

  • Team_Rosalie

    I don't think they can leave out much in BD so probably two movies. I personally don't mind, more Twilight! To be honest i just want them to start making it, in two films or one! lol.

  • twilightlover

    not 3D! but they have to include jacobs pov for a little while. i dont know whos POV it should be for the birthing scene. if it is jacobs for the birthing scene, it should be bellas right after, so she can say what she is feeling during the changing. But they have to include Isle Esme. it is a really important part of the book. even if they make if rated R. dont let little grade 4s watch it. i know some do. they are to young. But i really hope they get a good director. And hopefully they include as much of the book as posible. and try to keep it the same!

  • kiwikrystal

    What ever happens do not! what so ever cut out the scene of their honeymoon!! The antisipation is driving everyone nuts it better be a really good long make out scene!! None of this holding back stuff lol

  • kiwikrystal

    p.s Jacob is boring, wish he didnt have to be in the book so much he is really annoying the shit out of me!! Taking up precious Edward moments!!!!

  • Julie

    I heard there wasnt going to be a BD movie. Coz summit are refusing to do 2 movies and S Meyer was pissed off with that and some other decisions they were making and she didnt want to do it.... Hope thats not true!!!!!
    I think just make 1 fantastic long film coz i couldnt bear to watch 1 and then wait bloody months for the 2nd half. Braveheart was 3hrs why not do BD for 3 or 4 or 5 hrs I dont mind!! Im sure everyone else wouldnt mind either =)
    When is the blasted Eclipse trailer gonna be released?????

  • Gisi

    I don´t care if it´s done in 3D or IMAX, the most important thing for me personally is that they keep in the movie the honeymoon, the pregnancy, the birth and the imprinting, I mean that´s pretty much the essence of the BD book, and if it is tastefully done I think is possible to include it in the movie, if they cut all that what´s the point of watching the movie, anyway all the fans that have read the book know exactly what happens, so it shouldn´t cause that shock to actually see it, a really good director can pull that off, but that´s just my humble opinion

  • sara

    dont wanna see it in 3-D that would be gay.i hope they make it 2 movies so they can fit more into it plus if its a 4 hour movie like wat if u have 2 go pee or somthing in the middle that would suck cause you wouldent wanna miss any of it. i like calla_lily319`s idea that would be cool.they can show blood and sex scenes as long as its not that much that it gets rated r casue my rents would never let me go watch it then(although i would still watch it after it came out on dvd without them knowing but still going 2 the movies is so much better).

  • nikoll

    Hi I am from Chile and always I read this web, believe that breaking down to be done in two movies but not necessarily in 3D. But anyhow I will love this movie.
    Regards from Chile !

  • Angielovesrob

    I think is better if they are 2 movies, the first one can end only listening the beats of Bella and the secon one can start when Bella open her eyes... But the most important thing and my favorite too is when Edward can read Bella's mind, so he can know her feelings for him...

  • teamedwardalwys

    I think it would be SO much better if it was spilt into two movies. Sucks to wait but i want MORE! I want to see them telling charlie, the wedding, the honeymoon, the pregnancy, the birth, the transformation, jacob imprinting, first hunt and what its like for bella to adapt to being a vampire, how renesmee "communicates", the cottage, bella's shield, a GOOD battle, ending the way the book did with edward being able to see into bellas mind briefly! I dont think it should be made into 3d and if they did it should be on the second half only. it might even be kind of cool for the first hunt..when they are running through the trees and springing at the mountain lions.. you know i might want the second one to be 3d the more i think about it... In any case, i CAN'T WAIT for breaking dawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • teamwerewolf4eva

    wow. i have been thinking about it and i really can't pick any scenes that aren't important to the over all story line which leads me to decide i think we need two movies and i like everyone's idea of stopping the first movie right after bella wakes up perferably not seeing bella because that would make it so much more suspensful. but if they make only one they better make it long cause there really isn't a whole lot you can cut out. everything builds on everything else and its hard to cut anything out. plus pleaseee no 3D i just don't like that idea at all.
    but most of all i just hope they start filming soon and we get more details, just that they put it on the big screen will make me happy cause i'm expecting it to be different cause it's definitley a hard book to make into a movie.

  • Steph

    I just saw Avatar in 3D and, while the film was excellent, the 3-D took away from the experience. Too much of a gimmick.

  • ohyeahbitch

    PLEASE NOT 3D!
    im not sure if i want them to make breaking dawn.. i think they will ruin the book. (ehm.. melissa rosenberg)

  • Jaspers_Girll

    No, please not 3D...that would be weird, and in some scenes, quite gross. I don't know about splitting it into two movies...where would they split it?? I guess probably at the end of Jacob's book...but that's ruin the flow of the whole thing! Things they should include...err, EVERYTHING!! But the realist in me has to accept that that just won't happen :( But definitely the wedding, the honeymoon (please please make it good...we've been waiting three movies!!) the birth, the transformation and the imprinting...they are the basic essence of the whole story!! TBH, I don't really mind how they do it...I'm just gonna be psyched to see more of Edward!! Although, some more Jacob would also be very much appreciated I'm sure :P

  • katies85

    i dont want to see it in 3d i just want normal and they cant take 2 much out of it because it wont be the same just make it into 2 movies to get as much in as possible i think

  • cullensmullj

    Yes and no about one or two movies. Most of all, I want one movie, as long as it lasts around 3 hours, if not, it would be nice with to. The scenes that MUST be in the movie(s), is when Edward and Bella make love for the first time, and maybe the times after that so we can see how ruin the bedroom is. That was kind of funny in the book. Its also important to see the birth of renesmee and the transform of Bella. Its many other things that is really important to, but i think i have said enough for now!:)

    But its ok to cut alot, because I thinked that the book was a little bit boring at the second part of the book. It took so loong time to get to the point with the Volturians, so i hope the film is better!;)

  • Matt

    I love BD the book except my big disappointment was all the build-up to the confrontation with the Volturi and then no fight ever happens. That won't play very well dramatically in the movie...I'm not saying I want an all-out war, but there should be some kind of action it seems, especially since it's the end of the saga. That would be one change I'd like to see for the movie, although it might change the story too much...of course, any liberties with the plot would have to be met with Stephenie's approval first...
