No one movie could adequately and beautifully portray an explosive honeymoon sex scene, a horrifying pregnancy and childbirth, and the threat of impending large-scale vampire massacre. So, to do the movie justice, the last book of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn, will be broken into two parts.
That’s not news to Twihards. But what is news is how this book will be broken into two. Producer Wyck Godfrey spoke to USA Today this week and tried to answer some of us fans’ biggest questions:
On how the story will be slit in half:
“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.”
On how the film will be able to keep PG-13 rating despite the sex and horrifying birth scenes:
“It would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated. This is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated.” The bloody, bone-crushing childbirth will 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.”
On the Edward/Bella (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) sex scene:
“It does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual.”
