Kristen Stewart wishes she got to do more gross stuff in ‘Breaking Dawn’

twihards

Breaking Dawn crap takes two covers for the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. It’s all about Twihards, all the time. What’s funny is that Robert Pattinson is nowhere to be found in the excerpts from the cover story. Surely they scored an interview with Sparkles? Maybe not. But they did get some good quotes from Kristen Stewart, including her thoughts on filming the wedding scene, as well as her desire to completely gross out every Twihard ever.

Fans have waited years to see Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) tie the knot, and the wedding scene, scheduled for the end of production on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, proved to be equally climactic for those involved.

“It was one of the coolest things that I’ve done,” says Stewart. “There was a certain point when I walked on set, and I saw everyone from the entire cast sitting there in the pews, about to do their bit. And it was just so perfect for me in that moment. It was so emotional in such a real way. I literally felt like thanking them for coming.”

But filming wasn’t always quite so idyllic. As the stars and director tell EW, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 (in theaters November 18 and November 2012) involved a grueling, globe-trotting shoot, and scenes far darker, bloodier, and more polarizing than any in the franchise so far. If audiences haven’t matured with the Twilight books, they’re about to grow up fast.

“We shot everything — whether it’s the lovemaking or the childbirth — as potent and powerful as it can be,” says director Bill Condon, who knew he was working within the constraints of a PG-13 rating. “It will be interesting to see whether there will be people who think it too disturbing for this universe.”

For her part, Stewart wishes the movie could have been even truer to the graphic nature of the book — not so much the honeymoon sequence (“It feels like a real love scene, not necessarily vampire-y, which is good”), but the brutal birth of the baby, Renesmee.

“It’s funny because when [the PG-13 issue] comes up, everybody thinks it’s all about the sex,” she says. “The birth is really effective, and I’ve heard it really hits you in the face. But what it could have been? It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that’s how it was written in the book.” She sighs: “I would have loved to have been puking up blood.”

Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob, says that even being a member of the wolf pack didn’t have its privileges.

“Everybody is always complaining to me that I don’t have to wear the contacts, I don’t have to wear the white makeup or wear wigs and all that stuff. And I’m like, ‘I’m the one in the freezing rain and cold not wearing a shirt! I paid my dues in New Moon and Eclipse.”

And as for his plot arc in Part 2, which will involve falling for — or imprinting on — Renesmee? “There were many times I walked up to Stephenie [Meyer] and asked her, ‘What exactly is imprinting?’” says Lautner. “It’s still a very confusing thing for me, so don’t ask.”

This part is cracking me up: “She sighs: ‘I would have loved to have been puking up blood.’” She’s so gross! But in a good way, I guess. Even though I think she’s a lip-biting, eye-rolling little troll, I will give her props for not being some frilly little delicate girly-girl. I appreciate that she wanted to make the gross scenes truly disgusting.

Oh, and I can’t wait for the honeymoon scenes. You know it’s going to be disturbing, right? Oh, yes. The Sparkledong Is Coming.

    I only saw the first one, but we’re still talking about films where the vampires don’t actually have fangs right? How gory can it get? I suppose if your ripping out someones jugular with you incisors it could get messy.

  2. Jess says:

    You didn’t post the part where she calls Tolstoy “that shit”.

    I can’t believe there are people liking this brat and calling her a feminist.

  3. AnnaBegins says:

    Did they not make enough money in the last few films to afford a decent wig for Kristen? That hairline is looking a bit rough in the second picture.

  4. inessa says:

    Jesus Christ this movie is going to suck so bad. I might just watch it to see Kristen Stewart with her mouth open and rolling her eyes every scene.

    P.S.: Can’t forget the gasps

  5. inessa says:

    @AnnaBegins

    HAHAHA that’s her hairline not a wig. In this movie she only uses extensions

  6. the original bellaluna says:

    Look, if you’ve read the books, you know what’s going to happen.

    As far as I’m concerned, there has NEVER been a movie that matched the pictures in my head. That’s why I read, and refuse to watch any movie “based on” a book I’ve read. The disappointment is too great.

  7. ladybert62 says:

    OH – the original BellaLuna is a girl after my own heart! I agree with you totally about reading the books and not watching the movies as they always disappoint!

  8. Samigirl says:

    @original bellaluna, what is your opinion when the books ALREADY suck *cough*twilight*cough*….I mean seriously. Stephanie Meyer has the writing skills of a 7th grader. (Having graded several book reports and other papers by 8th graders, I really feel this isn’t an exageration.)

  9. Lisa says:

    They’re playing Twighlight on tv shortly and I just saw the trailer for the first time. I straight out jaw dropped at how hideous the acting was & this was during a 20 second tv trailer!!! How is this crap popular???

  10. Angb says:

    I think she’s great. Very funny and endearing in this interview.

  11. mauibound says:

    At the time I liked the books, I tried to reread them and thought to myself that these are kinda crappy. And then I saw the first movie…. OMG it was so awful!
    I can’t even describe how truly bad they were! I waited until the dvd came out for the others.

  12. Bobbie says:

    @Sami girl- totally with you. The first book was alright but after that it was just ridiculous, laugh out loud funny. Not in a good way.

  13. Dagny says:

    yeah…I could barely get through the first book, and the first movie made me laugh!!

  14. mia girl says:

    @Jess
    To be fair, Stewart did not call Tolstoy “that shit”. You are taking two words out of context and also paraphrasing.

    Stewart was praising Tolstoy when she was asked what she was currently reading (Anna Karenina). The actual quote is “That shit is a classic for a reason.”

    Not the most refined way to praise, I suppose – but she was definitely not being critical as your post sort of infers.

  15. rainstarr says:

    For ‘the original bellaluna’, you should check out the movie version of Little Women with Winona Ryder as Jo. It is completely true to the book (which I love), and what you always expect with movies made from books, yet rarely see. This version really brought the book to life, even better than what I imagined (which is impressive).

    I agree with being confused as to why this particular vampire franchise is so popular.

  16. gabs says:

    I dont like twi-crap but I really like her for some reason. Shes a normal average girl next door type and isnt a famehoe. I dont get the “brat” comments about her.

    That cover is SO cheesy though. LOL Will and Kate should have posed like that for the wedding invites

  17. the original bellaluna says:

    @ Samigirl – Actually, I think they’re a tween knock-off of the book Jacob by Jacqueline somebody. Right down to the heroine named “Bella.” And I CANNOT STAND how the Twilight Bella is such a martyr, constantly blaming herself for e.v.e.r.y.s.i.n.g.l.e. thing that happens.

    @ ladybert62 – Word, sister!

    @ rainstarr – Thank you, I’ll have to check that one out.

  18. the original bellaluna says:

    @ Samigirl – Honestly, I think they’re a tween knock-off of the “Jacob” series by Jacquelin somebody-or-other*. Right down to the heroine named Bella. And the movies were just AWFUL!

    @ ladybert62 – Word, sister!

    @ rainstarr – Thank you, I’ll check it out! 🙂

    *It’s an “adult” series.

  19. Dingles says:

    Most awkward… love scene… ever. I’m cringing in advance. I wish they had totally gone for broke and went for an R rating. I want HBO-level sex scenes, Bella puking up a “fountain” of blood described in the book, Edward chewing a baby out of her mangled body and Jacob literally falling in love with a newborn infant. Breaking Dawn is balls-out insane and hilarious, it’s too bad the crazy will be all watered down and sanitized for the teenage audience.

  20. Corina says:

    @the og bellaluna OMG I totally thought that too but I figured I was just jumping to conclusions. You’re talking about the Nightwalker series right? It’s by Jacqueline Frank. That series of paranormal romance novels (on the erotic side, for shiz) has sooo many parallels to Twilight. There are characters named Jacob & Bella, they imprint on one another, there are vampires & werewolves & a species she defines as demons. Anyway I was just so glad to discover that someone else had that thought as well.

    Also, egad are the Twilight books poorly written. I have them all & love the movies but that’s because I can truly enjoy things while knowing that they are craptastically bad. Stephenie Meyers (sp?) can’t hold a candle to Francine Pascal or Ann M Martin!

  21. SassyOne says:

    Uh, okay…
    “… disturbing to the universe…”

    ZOMG, shit, really? In the context of a PG-13 film?

    Can you pimp it any more, Bill Condon? FYI, if you produce a tarty, nekkid film with Pattinson- I’m all in. Ladies (and men!!), feel free to concur! Tasty bits, definitely.

    @The Original Bellaluna“As far as I’m concerned, there has NEVER been a movie that matched the pictures in my head. That’s why I read, and refuse to watch any movie “based on” a book I’ve read. The disappointment is too great.”

    EXACTLY. This is why I only saw the very first 2 Harry Potter movies…They always end up having to change & twist things to make them more suitable to a movie, taking out some things *entirely*, & making up some things *entirely* which ruins the whole thing for me completely.

    Nothing will ever compare to what a reader gets from a book… but it sucks that they don’t even *try*, they just use the ideas loosely around their own story idea. (A movie that’s only based on a book, not taken directly from it.

    I haven’t read or watched Twilight, so I’m definitely not a Twihard. (I don’t know, ‘-tard’ seems more fitting…) I continue to avoid it like the plague.

    1 overwhelming-continuing-obsessive-sensationalistic-fandom was enough for one lifetime. Sorry Twilight, HP was here first.

  23. Hakura says:

    @SamiGirl“I mean seriously. Stephanie Meyer has the writing skills of a 7th grader.”

    This is exactly why I never even gave the books a chance. I was warned ahead of time by a friend (who happens to be a talented writer herself)… Who said the writing was so immature, that she could barely stand trying to get through it. She did, but confirmed that it never got any better, so I decided to pass.

    @Dingles“Breaking Dawn is balls-out insane and hilarious, it’s too bad the crazy will be all watered down and sanitized for the teenage audience.”

    God, WTF? I hadn’t heard about ANY of this…. Why is this considered a TWEEN/TEEN book series?!

  24. kikay says:

    i wish they could be able to stay true to the book,but ofcourse they have to think about the young kids that’s gonna be watching the BD 1 movie,Kristen would have look awesome puking up some disgusting blood and writhing w/ pain naked while that horrible baby is trying to get out of her mangled body.oh what could have been ,damn kids!

  25. Samigirl says:

    rainstarr, bella luna-while I absolutely LOVE the version of Little Women you speak of, it absolutely pales in comparison to the book. Little Women, (along with East of Eden, and To Kill a Mockingbird) is my all time favorite book. I read it all the way through at the age of 6. There is a version of the movie that came out in 1933. Katharine Hepburn played Jo March, and she was absolutely perfect. I don’t know if you like older movies, but this is one of the better ones pertaining to this book. Also, East of Eden with James Dean was pretty great 😉

    @The Original Bellaluna – “As far as I’m concerned, there has NEVER been a movie that matched the pictures in my head. That’s why I read, and refuse to watch any movie “based on” a book I’ve read. The disappointment is too great.”

    The ONLY movie that bests the book is Bram Stoker’s Dracula. IMHO, the “lovestory” in Dracula (the movie) paved the way for supernatural romances in general. However, that same lovestory (between Dracula and Mina) was never part of the book.

  27. emma says:

    Love me some Sparkledong. Can’t wait. I hope they release an R-rated version. Why can’t movie studios release 2 versions of the same movie? The King’s Speech did it.

  28. bootsy says:

    The Twilight books aren’t good, but really Breaking Dawn gets so insane it redeems itself in my eyes. It’s just hilarious.

    Anyway, Frank’s first book was published after New Moon, but only by a couple of months. Meyer definitely didn’t copy her, and that’s not enough time for her to copy Meyer. I think we’re just seeing a coincidence here.

  29. Estella says:

    I liked Twilight and Breaking Dawn (the novels). The two in the middle read like filler. The movies…egad. I feel sorry for R. Pattinson. He CAN act, but Kristen Stewart is possibly the worst actress I have ever seen on film.

    Off topic, of movies that bested the books, the only two I can think of offhand are both from the mind of Stanley Kubrick – The Shining and A Clockwork Orange. Loved King and Burgess’ novels but the movies rocked too.

  30. harfang says:

    As blind of a Krisbian as I am, I did find her wooden and sort of unremarkable in the first film. I haven’t bothered with the others. The fact that the non-print, digital still from the sex scene looks just as ‘shopped as the production still ensures that even my honest desire to see Kristin in a state of indecency will not cause me to make an exception for Breaking Dawn.

    Identity bull aside, Kristin always wants stuff to be more in-our-face than it is in the context of the Twilight franchise. I don’t know if she’d be all that into grossness if her first big experience in Hollywood hadn’t been, and wasn’t still, one big sanitation fest. She likes intensity and grittiness. Time will tell whether that’s really part of her personality, or a product of her circumstance.

  31. Abby says:

    “sitting there in the pews” ?? It’s been like three years since I’ve read Breaking Dawn… but doesn’t she get married at the Cullen house? What pews?

    Regarding movies that turned out better than the book, I refer to The Notebook. Hated the book, the movie is one of my all-time faves.
