In what is sure to be many instances of the creative team behind the
Breaking Dawn films slowly but deliberately making no promises and
controlling expectations of how much of the unbelievable madness of
Twilight: Breaking Dawn will make it from the novel into the PG-13 film,
here’s the screenwriter dashing our hopes for an explicit scene of
dentally-assisted child birth…
“On
the fan site, on Facebook,
all the comments are “It has to be R rated! You have to show the
childbirth!
Gore and guts and sex!” For me it’s actually more
interesting to
not see it. You know, you can do childbirth without
seeing
childbirth … it doesn’t mean it’s any less evocative of an
experience.”
Sure. Right.
We still have the possibilities of
furniture-destructive vampire sex, abortion discussions, pleas for Jacob
to knock up Bella from Edward, spinal injuries, and a
telepathic/sentient baby, though every one of those elements are likely
to be removed or dragged towards a more palatable sanity.
What
a shame.

That was a reason to see the film? Graphic childbirth?
is there a way to filter out any twilight story from my google reader. i can't be the only one who is sick of these stories.
That's why I went to see Knocked Up.
yes. graphic vampire childbirth.
Seriously, the reasons Devin wanted to see Breaking Dawn for, are not showing up in this movie. If anything, unless they resolve it in Eclipse, these two movies have to be about taking down the bad vampires. They set that up in New Moon, they are carrying it on in Eclipse, and I am sure that's how Breaking Dawn concludes it. Thank the gods they figured out how to put a villain in this series because Meyers sure as spit could not figure one out on her own.
Shouldn't that cover be a smashed White Queen with the Red Pawn standing amongst the wreckage?
I want to kick these movies in the teeth.
Don't worry guys, it's a quote from a screenwriter. All they can do is type words on paper and hand it in. If the director wants to see a baby chewed out of a uterus with vampire teeth, we'll see it.
Such an artist, that Melissa Rosenberg
Oh please, "don't show it, it's more interesting that way." What a crock. At the SAME time, anyone here bitching about the screenwriter saying that never again gets to complain about horror movies today because the old ones didn't show anything and left it up to the imagination and it was better that way. Only get to choose one, fuckers.
If I wanted to see violently, graphic childbirth I'd watch "Inside". If I wanted to hear about abortion discussions, I'd watch the news. If wanted to contract AIDS, then I'd watch "Twilight: Breaking Dawn".
Wow, that first sentence is a DOOZY!!!!!!
No, the only reason to see this is because a fucking werewolf FALLS IN LOVE with a fucking baby.
Where's the artistic integrity? Doesn't anyone care about Meyer's vision getting violated so hard that its head hits the bedpost and its fourth vertebrae gets cracked? If something as great as THE TWILIGHT SAGA gets spat upon what's the hope for lesser works like Dune, or Foundation?
bummer of a birthmark Hal
As if i was going to see Twilight just because of gore, guts, childbirth, sex with werewolves, sex with emo vampires etc. Pfff, Twilight sucks. Period.
