At the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, fanboy met fangirl when Twilight invaded Hall H for the first time, but it wouldn't be the last. Stephanie Meyer's supernatural love story proved as addicting to female audiences as Batman and Superman comic books were to males and before you know it, the Con had a new mainstay. Hollywood also had three new mainstays as The Twilight Saga made movie stars out of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, who were all present at today's panel for the fourth film in the franchise, Breaking Dawn Part 1 (as with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, this was the final book in the canon, but will be split into to movies with the last chapter coming November 2012).
Team Edward vs. Team Jacob discussions abound, Hall H is filled nearly to capacity for the much anticipated arrival of the cast and crew behind one of this winter's most anticipated films. As director Bill Condon took the stage to introduce the very first look at the film, thunderous applause followed, but nothing compared to what happened when the holy trinity of stars joined.
On shooting the wedding: "I've been waiting four years to film that scene" - Kristen Stewart
The first scene shown involved a conversation between Jacob and Edwards's parents Carlysle and Esme. They discussed keeping Bella safe and tension swere high as Jacob continues to not trust the Cullen's. The second scene followed Jacob as he talks with his estranged werewolf family. They do not respect or trust him anymore as he is aligned with the vampires now.
The second clip was decidedly less serious: following Edward and Bella as they enter their honey moon suite and think curiously about the debauchery that will follow. Edward wants to jump into the rough stuff, but Bella wants to make things as picture perfect as possible and says she'd like to shower first - "I need a few human moments," she says. Edward proceeds to take his clothes off and head to a romantic beach outside their honeymoon shack. Bella channels Michelle Pfeiffer in One Fine Day and showers, shaves her legs, brushes her teeth and contemplates what lingerie to wear before simply joining her husband on the beach, removing her towel and entering the water.
Lots of hype surrounded this introductory panel at the 2011 SDCC; almost as much as that which will follow Breaking Dawn Pt.1 into its November 18 2011 release. Make sure you catch the film, which co-stars Jamie Campbell-Bower, Dakota Fanning, Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, Nikki Reed, Maggie Grace, Jackson Rathbone, Kellan Lutz, Billy Burke and more.
