Nikki Reed says Breaking Dawn movie stay true to the books

“I’m really happy, really excited, I think the key to the success of the scripts are to stay true to the books. That’s the origin and what people love, it existed before we did, obviously it can’t be verbatim with a 800 page book, but they are making two movies out of it. I think that the essential moments are there!”

As for Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) highly anticipated birth scene, Nikki said, “I’m sure Bill [Condon] has some really creative idea as to what he is going to do. There is a lot of pressure with those scenes because they are so highly anticipated, the giving birth scene or whatever you want to call it. I’m hoping and assuming its going to be edgy, I’m sure it will!”

Jackson Rathbone and Nikki Reed Say on ‘Breaking Dawn’ Birth: "It's Intense. It's Really Intense"

Jackson Rathbone tells me that the cast is very impressed by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg's treatment of the much-talked-about birthing scene in B.D. "I think people are really, really excited and surprised about how tastefully it can be done," he said at Spike TV's Scream Awards.

Nikki Reed echoed Rathbone's enthusiasm. "It's intense," she said. "It's really intense."

"I play a pivotal role in this, because this is what Rosalie has always wanted, you know what I mean?" she continued. "So, I'm working really hard. I'm with my acting coach every day, three hours a day...I really care about this and I want it to be good."

Although they'll be shooting both B.D. movies until next spring, Rathbone and Reed know that saying goodbye when they wrap won't be easy. "I've had an amazing time working with the cast, and the fans have been incredible and so supportive of all us," Rathbone said. "It's going to be sad."

"It's not ending for a long time," Reed said with a big smile. "But I'm going to be sad and here's why: I'm working with really great people, people that I love. I've worked with some really talented directors. I've traveled all over the world with the series."

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.
