Bill Condon thanks Twilight fans

Posted by fandomnet on

Bill Condon, the director of the last two films in The Twilight Saga, has written a very sweet, sincere letter thanking fans of the series for their dedication, which was posted on the official Twilight Saga Facebook page.

'Breaking Dawn' director Bill Condon pens message to 'Twilight' fans

Greetings to our global Twihard family,

On the flight now from Madrid to Berlin, I wanted to check in one last time, as you’re finally getting a look at what we’ve all been working on so intensely.  It’s hard to believe that after our Berlin premiere tonight, my TWILIGHT journey will finally come to a close.  It’s been almost three years since I first wrote to you.  I’m very proud of what we’ve created together since then, and I hope that PART II fulfills your expectations for the grand finale to Stephenie’s sprawling saga. Fingers crossed that you’ve also managed to stay at least mostly spoiler-free, in order to enjoy the twists and parting gifts we have in store for you…

Thank you again for making me feel like a member of your fandom family online…for sleeping in The Line in San Diego in order to laugh with us in Hall H…for traveling great distances to join us in L.A. for last year’s Tent City and this year’s Fan Camp.  Above all, thank you for trusting me with this universe you care so deeply about – we tried to match your intensity in our attention to every detail.  That said, I don’t think I’ll ever live down the shame of being spied on by Twihard covens around the world on our very first night of shooting in Rio.  Thanks to photos shot and instantly posted online of Bella and Edward on their honeymoon, we were called out in real time for missing a certain engagement ring…  (Sorry — again!)

As with you all, what I’ll take with me from my time in Forks are so many great friendships – our massive cast of talented actors, and new creative partners such as Melissa Rosenberg, Guillermo Navarro and Phil Tippett.  I hope to know them all for years and to work with them again soon, making movies yet to be dreamed up.  At the L.A. premiere Monday night, Phil said we should make a “bloody, giant monster movie.”  But is there room for a musical number?

See you at the theatre.

Forever,
Bill

How the ‘Breaking Dawn’ Finale Plot Twist Came to Be

Posted by fandomnet on

If you’ve already seen Breaking Dawn Part 2, you know that the ending is much different than the original book!

The Hollywood Reporter talked to Stephenie Meyer, Melissa Rosenberg, and Bill Condon about how Stephenie came up with the new ending (over a steak dinner in Vancouver!) and what it means for the final film.

Here’s Melissa Roseberg’s account:

“[Meyer], at the time, was debating whether or not she wanted the fourth book to be a movie because she was concerned that the ending in the book climaxes at a very tense conversation, which was beautiful in the book — but for film, that’s not going to fly,” she continues. “We started batting around ideas and then we both had this idea at the same. I think she may have mentioned something first, ‘OK, this may be stupid, but what about this?’ And I was like, ‘What about that!’ And it was one of those moments; the light bulb came on, and we both suddenly got incredibly excited about it. That was it, we were both on board.”

Paul McDonald and Nikki Reed performances from Breaking Dawn Part 2 Fan Camp

Posted by tfgeekgirl on

The final fan camp was definitely a weekend to remember.  I was lucky enough to meet Stephenie Meyer in person and get a personalized autograph from her.  I really didn’t know what to say at that moment because they only give you a few moments with her, but it was still nice to actually meet her.  She is truly a lovely woman.

I did state before there was a concert that included Paul McDonald and Nikki Reed, and I was able to record their performance on my phone.  Obviously, it’s not the best recording since I’m too far away from the stage to get a good visual on them, but you should be able to hear the songs well enough.
The first song was performed solo by Nikki, which she stated she was very, very nervous about.  I can say that I was impressed, really.  She already has a beautiful speaking voice, so it should be no surprise that she has a beautiful singing voice as well.

The second song, I believe, is part of the Breaking Dawn Part 2 soundtrack, title “All I’ve Ever Needed.”

Pictures from Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere Night

Posted by tfgeekgirl on

The black carpet scene is as crazy and wild as you’d imagine it to be for the Twilight Saga.  Unfortunately, a little too crazy at times as someone told me that someone got knocked off her wheelchair in the handicap section (please, if you go to a premiere event, try to be respectable to those around you and not push and shove!)  Being that I am quite short and that I wasn’t in the front row, these pictures were as good as I could get.  I missed some people when they got close enough, including the main three, but I think there are enough pictures of them everywhere anyway, right?
