Twilight New Moon Eclipse Breaking Dawn The Cast and Characters

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon graciously took the time to talk to us about what’s on the mind of every Twilighter now that we’re nearing the final weeks before the film. He’s continued to remain tight-lipped about some details (which will make for a better moviegoing experience, of course) but he had much to say on the birth scene (his favorite), the highly anticipated wedding, as well as additional scenes from Edward’s point of view! Warning: This interview contains spoilers.how cool is that?
Fandango: We get so much of Bella’s and Jacob’s view in the last book, but what specific parts do we get to see more of Edward’s point of view?
Condon: There’s something that we put in there that’s referred to in an earlier book. We actually get to see Edward in his early life as a vampire and hear his thoughts about that. There’s a glimpse of him in Twilight describing how he got turned, how he got changed by Carlisle, but this is more extensive. I do think we get more inside Edward and he changes a lot, too. The wedding has an effect on him. There’s an aspect of self-loathing to him about what he did when he was a vampire [earlier] that he releases through Bella’s love. I think that’s a fun thing to watch.
Starting the day off with what should be a good discussion, Reuters takes a look at how vampire books and movies have impacted our culture, especially for teens today. The discussion started after a man broke into a woman’s house this weekend and claimed to be a 500 year old vampire. Reuters talks to Anne Rice, who gave us my first vampire crush, Lestat, and even mentions the RPG Vampire, the Masquerade.
But no look at vampires in pop culture would be complete without a mention of Twilight. Dr. Thomas Garza, who teaches what sounds like a fascinating class on vampire lore at the University of Texas, had this to say about our favorite vampires:
“I would say that it is the Twilight saga in particular that has brought out the younger teen fans. In that connection, Edward is a very ‘safe’ vampire, a kind of ‘starter vamp’ for beginners, if you will,” Garza said.
“He’s pretty, yes, so the seduction’s there, but he’s more than reluctant to act on his and Bella’s sexual desires. He can go out in daylight – and even ‘sparkles’ in the sun, giving him a completely non-threatening character. He drives a Volvo, for goodness sake.”
So what do you think? How do you think vampires have effected pop culture and the lives of teens today? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

You know that feeling you get when you’re watching a movie and the two main characters are inching forward towards their first kiss and you get butterflies in anticipation of how — hopefully — exciting their chemistry will be? Well that feeling is on steroids when you’ve been waiting for that kiss for months, or even years, ahead of the movie since you’ve already read the books! Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan’s (Kristen Stewart) first kiss as husband and wife will be epic when Breaking Dawn: Part 1 airs in November. Just as legendary? When Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) have their very first kiss in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 which hits theaters on July 15!
These cuties make everyone swoon on the small screen and the silver screen! Whether they're cracking a joke, opening doors, or simply saving their girlfriend's life, one thing's for sure — they look hot doing it! Source Via @diariotwilight.
