MTV: Robert Pattinson Laughs Off on new 'Breaking Dawn' Honeymoon Bed Still (Photo)

"I love how they release that for the first one," he told MTV News sarcastically Sunday (January 16) on the Golden Globes red carpet. "They just give it all away."

Pattinson laughed about what was running through his mind while shooting that scene, and told us the sex scenes with Stewart were no more awkward than with other actresses, such as his "Bel Ami" co-star Uma Thurman.

"It's always awkward, in a way, doing it with anybody," he admitted. "But at the same time ... it really depends on how it's staged and stuff. It's like doing Twister."

Also on Sunday night's red carpet, Pattinson's movie dad, Peter Facinelli, revealed some details about filming the big "Breaking Dawn" fight scene, leaking how much longer the cast will be onset with director Bill Condon: "We've been shooting the last two weeks with a lot of vampires," he said.

"I don't want to give away too much, but if you've read the books, it's the standoff with lots of vampires in play. There's like 70 people going through the works at once. It's a little maddening, but fun," Facinelli continued.

"We shot pretty much the ending of the two movies the other day," he added. "But we shoot until mid-April."

The Twilight Saga producer Wyck Godfrey spills bits of information on ‘Breaking Dawn’

The Twilight Saga producer Wyck Godfrey featured in an interview from USA Today and he answered questions about Breaking Dawn including where Breaking Dawn will be split into two parts, how Jacob’s part in the book is being handled for the screen, the way the birth scene will be portrayed, more on the honeymoon, why Bill Condon was chosen and how they’re going to handle all the new vampires.

Q: Where does the story split in half?

A: "We basically want to take the audience through the emotional part of Bella's journey as she becomes a vampire. The first part will cover the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth." The film ends just before she embarks on her supernatural transformation.

Q: The book has three segments, two of which present Bella's point of view and a middle that's devoted to the perspective of her rejected werewolf suitor, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). How is that handled?

A: "The story will break from her and follow Jacob throughout the course of the movie as he struggles with his own dilemma. There is a sense that as Bella and the Cullens (Edward's makeshift vampire clan) deal with her pregnancy, the world is still turning outside with Jacob."

Q: Why was Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning filmmaker best known for his musicals as the screenwriter of 2002's Chicagoand the director of 2006's Dreamgirls, selected as the director of the finale?

A: "These films have the most difficult stuff from a performance standpoint. With his history of directing, I can't think of anyone who would be better at bringing out the best in an actor." Plus, the director, who did the 1995 sequel to Candyman, is a fright-fare enthusiast. "He has an appetite for the genre and a passion for the Twilight books and movies."

Q: Considering what goes on during the torturous birth process, how can the rating be PG-13?

A: With Twilight's core of under-18 fans, "it would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated." However, "this is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated."

A compromise: Having the bloody, bone-crushing delivery be seen only through Bella's eyes. "She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees."

Q: How is the long-awaited consummation of Edward and Bella's love portrayed?

A: Even though their physical relationship goes way beyond what was shown in the first three films, "it does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual."

Q: At the end of Breaking Dawn, about 70 or so vampires from around the world gather to face off with the Cullens and their allies plus Jacob's wolf pack. How can you keep both portions of the storytelling equally compelling?

A: "The second half is more of an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes." But the domestic moments of the first film possess an emotional punch. "There are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was."

Q: Is there any chance that Condon could sneak in a musical number?

A: There might be traditional dancing at the wedding. But don't expect any of the wolf pack to suddenly howl a tune or do a soft-shoe shuffle.

Although, as Godfrey jokes, "We just had a whole line of actors marching toward the camera. We could have them practice a chorus line with vampires doing kicks."

Architectural Digest features the Isle Esme Shooting Location of Breaking Dawn(photos)

Halfway between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, off the BR-101 highway, lies a corner of Brazil bounded by forested mountains that edge their way down to the sea. The Saco do Mamanguá, a tropical fjord, cuts between the mainland and the peninsula of Juatinga, where ridges approaching 1,600 feet frame a narrow bay; this pristine spot is where businessman Ícaro Fernandes, his wife, Cristina, and their five children, ranging in age from three to 24, come to trade life in the urban jungle of São Paulo for waterskiing and dolphin-watching. On weekends, the clan braves São Paulo’s notorious traffic to make the nearly three-hour drive to the colonial town of Paraty, where they hop onto a speedboat for the short ride to their beachfront home.

Fernandes and his family got to know Saco do Mamanguá in 2001, when they visited friends who owned a house in the area, and they eventually decided to buy a 99-acre property on one of the inlet’s loveliest beaches. Fernandes, a real-estate developer who also owns a food-import business, had long admired the work of Brazilian architects Bernardes + Jacobsen, lauded for their imaginative tropical-modern houses. So he called on the firm—now headed by Thiago Bernardes, son of the late Claudio Bernardes and grandson of Sergio Bernardes (1919–2002), and Paulo Jacobsen, partner to all three generations—to design his family’s retreat. “My father and Paulo were constantly researching how to build with natural materials and with an economy of resources—for example, trying to understand how fishermen built their simple wood shelters and how to integrate good natural ventilation into a house,” explains Thiago Bernardes. “That’s the vision Ícaro asked us to incorporate into his home.”

Master's Bedroom

Instead of siting the house on the property’s highest point, as his client imagined, Bernardes suggested placing the nearly 11,000-square-foot building closer to the beach, nestled between two small hills. Bernardes knew cooling breezes would flow naturally through the pass and also clear through the house; this in turn led him to a dramatic layout in which a double-height living area, open to the elements through louvered windows and pivoting glass doors, would spill out onto a deep, shaded veranda extending the full length of the house.

This towering central room neatly divides the interior into three parts. To one side of the space, a kitchen, dining room, and service wing sit below a spacious master suite. On the other, two guest rooms and a family room are beneath the children’s bedrooms; a bridge spans the open living area to connect the family’s sleeping quarters. The combination of skylights overhead and palm and banana trees sprouting from planters set into the floor makes the interior feel like an extension of the outdoors. “Every idea I had in my head about what the house would look like and where it would be located, Thiago said no to,” recalls Fernandes with a laugh. “He didn’t do a single thing I requested. But it turned out ten times better than I ever imagined.”

Brazilian TV show Panico sneaked in Isle Esme of Breaking Dawn Location and took some photos

The Brazilian TV show Panico aired footage secretly taken from inside the house used for Isle Esme (pictured above) just moments before Rob and Kristen filmed some indoor scenes for Breaking Dawn. Apparently, a member of the show crashed the set, posed as a member of the crew, hid a camera somewhere inside his clothes, and shot Rob and Kristen getting ready to film.

We really want to avoid getting in trouble, so we’re not posting the video on our site, however, the president of Rio Filme took to his twitter account @ssl_riofilme to talk about the situation as soon as fans started tweeting their concerns over the safety of the cast. Here are the translated tweets:

The alleged invasion of TV Show Panico did not disrupt the filming of Breaking Dawn. It happened when there were many people at the house. Nobody knew.

Once and for all … The issues with the residents of Lapa were resolved in minutes. They were warned in advance. Alright?

There are parasites who do not realize the importance of attracting major foreign productions to Rio, and would prefer the government to invest in films that one sees, that don’t generate financial or cultural returns, and that are barely able to sustain them. They use the media to undermine Rio and the audiovisual productions in Rio that work hard to attract investment, create jobs and make films that are relevant!

People … When they entered the house, the filming was going on elsewhere. The other images were taken by boat and helicopter.

The entry into the house did not ruin the shot. The helicopter did, because of the noise. But it was fast. No problem. No one cared.

So … No cause for concern. And I did not use the term “parasites” for these guys. Everyone was happy with Breaking Dawn.

So there you have it. To be fair, the TV Show Panico is famous for crashing into private events and sets, by going completely unnoticed and filming everything they can with hidden cameras. According to several Brazilian fans on Twitter, Panico has crashed into concerts, the Academy Awards and even Michael Jackson’s funeral, so the set of Breaking Dawn didn’t stand a chance against people who are experts in breaking in. They didn’t bother the cast members or disrupt the filming, they just basically like to troll closed and exclusive sets and places for their show.*

Kristen Stewart talks about her diet and fitting Pregnancy costume for Breaking Dawn

“I want a cheeseburger so badly, but, you know, I have to be a vampire in a few weeks,” the 20-year-old actress told the LA Times‘ Amy Kaufman at lunch in Los Angeles, before choosing to munch on a veggie burger.

Although she’s toning up for her role as Bella, her character spends much of Breaking Dawn pregnant with her first child — and Kristen said her fake belly is totally uncomfortable.

“I’ve worn it. It’s … crazy. I’ve done fittings,” she said. “It gets immense. It gets so massive at some point that it actually looks inhuman. Like it’s hurting her. There are striations of bruises.”

Twilight Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg Expands Breaking Dawn Story and characters that Stephanie introduces.

Fans of the “Twilight” films are going to have a little added story to sink their teeth into.

The previous movie adaptations of Stephanie Meyer’s vamp-lit juggernaut have gone pretty much by the book, but with the final novel “Breaking Dawn” being broken into two feature films, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg tells PopcornBiz she’s enjoying a little more leeway to add some fangy flourishes of her own.

“I did actually [get to do that], because we got to fill out the story because we're doing the next two movies,” said Rosenberg. “So there was room to play and expand on some of the characters that Stephanie introduces. That was a lot of fun.”

“It's a much more grownup movie – It's an adult story,” the writer said of evolving the franchise beyond its high school origins. “The stakes are raised even higher because it's not the story of teens. It's the stories of grownups, so we're talking about marriage and children and family – and these are pretty grownup things, but sexy.”

Rosenberg says the highlight of the story will be seeing Kristen Stewart’s character Bella become a vampire at long last. “Kristen gets to make the transformation and that is going to be so exciting to see. [Director] Bill [Condon] and I talked about it in developing this script and the screenplay. Now she's going to embody it. It's going to be so great.”

Rosenberg, who penned all of the “Twilight” films and previously wrote for Showtime’s “Dexter,” hasn’t quite adjusted to the fact that, minus a few rewrites, her bloody good run is coming to a close.

“It's a shocking experience after four years to not be writing ‘Twilight!’” she said.

Kristen Stewart on Getting into Bella’s Head to Start Filming ‘Breaking Dawn’

Kristen Stewart Dyes Her Hair Again to Play Bella in ‘Breaking Dawn’
“So now I’m dark again for Twilight,” she said, adding, “I feel much more myself with darker hair.” Director Jake Scott, who directed Stewart in Welcome to the Rileys, said he kept Stewart’s chestnut color for the movie. “She came from Twilight  onto our film within the space of two weeks. I liked it, and we kept it. But we let it grow horrible and shaggy and let the split ends come out.” But as Stewart prepares for Bella’s Vampire incarnation in Twilight, she’s had to give up some unhealthy habits she picked up on the set of Welcome to the Rileys. “She ate badly, smoked tons of cigarettes, stayed up late,” Scott said. “She embraced the habitual nature of the character.”

So Stewart is currently testing a lighter diet. “Well, it’s kind of embarrassing,” she told PEOPLE. “But I’m playing a vampire soon. I eat disgustingly normally. And so, right now, I’m trying to not put so much butter in my food and stuff like that.” And is the diet working? “Yeah, yeah,” she answered “I feel better . . . I guess so.”

Mackenzie Foy to play Edward and Bella's Renesmee in Twilight Saga:Breaking Dawn

First Maggie Grace signs on to play Irina. Now EW.com has learned that little 9-year old Mackenzie Foy is inches away from signing on to play Renesmee, Edward and Bella’s vampire/human love child that’s a central role in the final installment of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

It’s not yet clear how the diminutive actress, who’s appeared in one episode each of television shows FlashForward and ‘Til Death, will portray the character who ages a full 17 years in only seven. Sources have suggested that director Bill Condon will employ similar digital effects to those used by David Fincher in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where Foy’s face would be digitally transferred onto the face of a younger child. It’s also probable that the studio will hire a younger child in some capacity, too.

Melissa Rosenberg Says the Birth Scene in ‘Breaking Dawn’Breaking Dawn will be Horrific and no intention of shying away from it.

Breaking Dawn is promising to deliver a very graphic one. Hollyscoop spoke EXCUSIVELY with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who told us how it’s going to go down.

“That is a really intense scene,” Rosenberg told Hollyscoop. “It's a horrific scene. We want to convey all the terror and horror- all the horror of that moment. Whether or not that requires gallons of blood to be spilled, I doubt it.”

“I think it will be much more terrifying from Bella's point of view. We have no intention of shying away from it,” she added.

As for when the script will be done, director Bill Condon told E! recently, "It better damn well be before the beginning of November, because that's when we start shooting."

Breaking Dawn is expected to hit theaters November 18, 2011...still more than a year away! This sounds like it’ll be the most intense film of the whole franchise. So many loose ends are tied up, so it's understandable that the film will be broken into two parts. We’re eager to see it!

Kristen Stewart's Breaking Dawn Birth Scene Won't Be Toned Down

Kristen Stewart's Breaking Dawn Birth Scene Won't Be Toned Down

The good news is, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and director Bill Condon plan to be faithful to the book when shooting Bella's childbirth scene for the movie version of Breaking Dawn.

However Twilight fans might feel about the gruesome scene with Kristen Stewart's character, the screenwriter and director see little point in toning it down for the big screen. But that doesn't necessarily mean it will be a huge gorefest.

"We're working on it. And we're working on it to be as intense as it is in the book," screenwriter Rosenberg tells E! Online.

Rosenberg has long felt that the scene shouldn't be sidelined for the movie. But the priority for her and Condon is the emotional intensity of it.

"I don't think it's about the amount of blood you show," she says. "It's on their faces. It's all from Bella's point of view when you're seeing what's going [on]. It should feel visceral. I think it's going to be pretty intense."

Rosenberg and Condon have been working on script rewrites for the two Breaking Dawn movies of late. Asked when they might finish the scripts, Rosenberg replies: "It better damn well be before the beginning of November, because that's when we start shooting.
