The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (commonly referred to as Breaking Dawn – Part 2) is an upcoming 2012 romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon and based on the novel Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. The second part of a two-part film forms the fifth and final installment in the series The Twilight Saga. All three main cast members, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, reprise their roles, along with Mackenzie Foy portraying Bella and Edward's child, Renesmee. Part 2 will be released on November 16, 2012,[4] and will be released by Lionsgate in the US, in consequence of the merger between Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment.
Summary
Further information: Breaking Dawn
After the birth of Renesmee Cullen, Bella, who is now a vampire,
finds herself enjoying her new life and abilities with Edward, Renesmee,
Jacob, and the rest of the Cullen Family.But Irina, a member of the Denali Vampire coven, misidentifies Renesmee for an immortal child, an infant human who has been bitten and transformed into a vampire, which has become a taboo in the Vampire world. Irina reports the Cullens to the Volturi, in revenge of her mate, Laurent, who had been killed by the Quilute Wolf Pack.
In a final attempt to survive, the Cullens begin to gather foreign Vampire clans and nomads to stand and witness against the Volturi, including the Denali, the Amazonian, the Egyptian, the Irish, and Romanian Covens. With their allies, the Cullens and the Wolf Pack stand to prove their innocence to the Volturi once and for all.
Production
Development
After confirming one film, Summit Entertainment had been keeping their eye on a fifth installment. In May 2010, Billy Burke and Peter Facinelli were the only cast actors who were confirmed for both parts of Breaking Dawn, while other cast members such as Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz were still in negotiations for a second part. If the actors holding Summit back from making an official announcement did not reach an agreement with them, the studio would not have minded recasting their roles, as was done in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse with Bryce Dallas Howard's character, Victoria. However, in June 2010, Summit officially confirmed that a two-part adaptation of the fourth book would start production and it was made clear that all major actors, including the three lead roles, the Cullen family, and Charlie Swan, would return for both parts. Actresses Christie Burke, Rachel St. Gelais, Sierra Pitkin, and Eliza Faria will play Renesmee at her various ages in Breaking Dawn.[7]Pre-production
By August 2009, Rosenberg said that the scripts for Part 1 and 2 were 75 to 85 percent completed. She found the greatest challenge in writing the scripts to be the final sequence of Part 2: "The final battle sequence is a big challenge because it lasts 25 pages", she said. "It's almost an entire three-act story in and of itself. You have to track [keep it all in one setting] hundreds of characters. It's an enormous challenge to choreograph on the page and for Bill [Condon] to choreograph on the stage." She had written various drafts of the scene but, at that, hadn't revised or discussed them with Condon yet. She said, "That's the next big hurdle to sit down with the stunt coordinator and create the ballet. It's a lot of work. I'm exhausted, but we're intent on making them the best scripts yet." Godfrey called Part 2 "an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes" and said that in Part 1 "there are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was." Condon thought of Part 1 "as a real companion piece to Catherine Hardwicke's movie". Condon explains, "Like, everything that got set up there gets resolved here. I think you'll find that there are stylistic and other nods to that film."Godfrey considered releasing the second film in 3D to differentiate between the time before and after Bella becomes a vampire, an idea originally proposed for Eclipse, but said that the decision is up to Condon. However, he said that if the second film were to be released in 3D, he would like to shoot it with the proper equipment in "real" 3D as was done with Avatar (2009), not convert it into 3D in post-production as was done with Clash of the Titans (2010).[8] However, it was confirmed on February 12, 2012 that Part 2 would not be filmed in 3D.[9]
Filming
On the subject of the final day and her final moment as Bella,
Stewart stated, "After that scene, my true final scene, I felt like I
could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot
light. I felt lighter than I've ever felt in my life."[10]
Pattinson thought the day was "amazing" and commented, "I then asked
myself why we didn't do this in those four years. Every difficult moment
just vanished."In April 2012, the crew and cast, including Pattinson and Stewart, returned for reshoots to pick up some additional shots for technical work with some of the cast and stunt actors. However, these re-shoots won't include any new scenes or dialogue.[11]
