Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's (On-Screen) Honeymoon Photos

The Twilight teens are finally growing up.

In the next installment of the saga, Breaking Dawn – Part 1, Edward and Bella (played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) take their relationship to the next level.

"They make love for the first time, they get married and pregnant," says director Bill Condon.

Much of the vampire honeymoon was shot just outside of the Brazilian town of Paraty. "There's this incredibly sensual vibe down there," says Condon.

While Jacob, the werewolf played by Taylor Lautner doesn't get the girl in this one, he does manage to get over her, and in doing so "becomes a man," says Condon. At least he gets to ride a cool motorcycle.

Robert Pattinson Talks Life After “Twilight”

Now that he’s done with the final installment of the “Twilight Saga,” Robert Pattinson is looking ahead to what’s next.

He told press, "It does feel like a breakup. I do love the guy, it's been amazing to play the same character through so many adventures and I'm going to miss him. It's like the last day of high school."

"It's so strange because my life has changed so much over these years, but Twilight and Edward Cullen will always be a part of me. It's been my whole life. My whole 20s. And I wouldn't have it any other way."

Robert hinted that he’s though about the possibility of settling down at some point. "I'd love to have a family -- sometime in the future."

But for now he’s happy to keep his options open. "I'll be very glad not to put those contacts in anymore or have to put on the sparkling makeup."

Robert Pattinson Calls 'Breaking Dawn' Sex Scene 'Incredible'

Robert Pattinson has gone on record as being livid that photos of his "Breaking Dawn" sex session with Kristen Stewart have leaked on the Web. "Find out who these little sh--s are and just hack into their computers and destroy them," he instructed "Twilight" fans.

His beef was not only that the images represented raw footage, but that they spoiled a bit of the surprise that director Bill Condon and the rest of the "Twilight" gang have in store for audiences when the film hits theaters in November. And, as RPattz explained to us, they've got some special stuff planned.

"It's kind of incredible," he said. "I saw a prelim of it. [Bill] has really, really good ideas for it."

The tricky thing, of course, is to shoot a sex scene that lives up to the expectations of readers of Stephenie Meyer's book yet adheres to the restrictions of the MPAA's rating system. "We had some really interesting ideas about it," Pattinson explained. "It's kind of interesting, as well, having to do it in the context of PG-13.

"You can't do blatant," he added with a laugh. "That's all been done in other stuff anyway, like saying, 'You just do it really, really fast!' "

Rob should certainly know. "Bel Ami," his upcoming romantic drama co-starring Uma Thurman, features a whole lot of, er, blatant sexuality. How blatant? "Lot of my crack in it!" he laughed last summer. "I think there's quite a lot of nudity."

Robert Pattinson on Breaking Dawn Birth Scene: Hilarious!

Spoiler alert: Bella gives birth in Breaking Dawn.

It's a pivotal scene in the arc of the Twilight Saga, introducing the world to Renesmee, Bella and Edward's half-vampire daughter (to be played by Mackenzie Foy) and Robert Pattinson finds it... hilarious?!?

"[Kristen] has to have this pregnant suit on all the time," the actor tells USA Today. "That was probably annoying for her."

Of course, Bella undergoes changes far beyond a baby bump, as well.

"I can't give too much away but there's some bits, especially towards the end of the movie, she's just like the polar opposite of any of the other (films)," Robert says. "I mean, she's a different person, which is cool. She looks completely different. She looks probably the most convincing vampire out of all of us."

As for the scene that truly has fans buzzing - hint! hint! - Pattinson says "there are some days on set just watching you go 'How is this going to be PG-13?' It's like totally ridiculous."

In other words: it's like totally hot and naked! Is it November 18 yet?!?

More Details About The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Birthing Scene

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn scheduled to end in just about a month, we expect the promo machine for the film to start kicking in shortly. But in the meantime how about a little news from star Robert Pattinson himself about that damned birthing scene everyone's been wondering about?

In a recent chat with Total Film while out and about promoting his upcoming Water for Elephants, Pattinson revealed some details about the Caesarean he performs on Bella (Kristen Stewart) with his teeth:

"'Yeah, I’ve done it,' RPattz laughed, 'I’ve chewed it, spat it out!'

Though he's not allowed to give much more away (joking with Ryan Seacrest recently that he gets 'beaten' for revealing details), Pattinson promises that Breaking Dawn will be 'very different to the other films - more like a horror film.'

'Just some of the source material makes it inevitably more different. It's completely nuts, the book.'"

Synopsis:
In the highly anticipated next chapter of the blockbuster The Twilight Saga, the newfound married bliss of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world.

After their wedding Bella and Edward travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon, where they finally give in to their passions. Bella soon discovers she is pregnant, and during a nearly fatal childbirth Edward finally fulfills her wish to become immortal.

But the arrival of their remarkable daughter, Renesmee, sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle.

Breaking Dawn (which is being filmed simultaneously with Part 2) is slated to be released in theatres on November 18, 2011. Part 2 will follow a year later on November 16, 2012.

Robert Pattinson Giving Breaking Dawn Movie Spoilers!

Robert Pattinson is talking ‘Elephants,’ but can’t seem to escape questions about the upcoming release of ‘Breaking Dawn.’ He even threw out a few spoilers while speaking to the press this week.

Just when the Twilight fervor has seemingly screeched to a halt, the real life Edward comes to the rescue. For fans of the series there are so many distractions, and so many other teenage heart throbs to obsess over (paging Justin Bieber)—and for a time, it felt like ‘the saga’ was losing steam.

Perhaps in a clever move, we’re being treated to a few spoilers fresh off the set of the final two films—just in time to keep our attention.

While R-Patz has been on the road promoting his latest flick ‘Water For Elephants,’ he has found himself spending just about equal time discussing the epic two-part finale. Such was the case in a few recent interviews where the questions eventually began to meander their way back to Twilight.

This week, we learned a few interesting tid-bits about what we can expect. For starters, he insists that the plot of the final installment is ‘outside the box’ and ‘really different’ from what we’ve seen before. As for what that means, he seemed to imply that it is far more risqué than the first three, and even joked that it is hard to believe it will be rated PG-13.

Even more exciting is word that Kristen Stewart will turn into a bad mamma jamma of a vampire. Rob described her as ‘the most convincing’ of all of the Cullens. He also joked about the many hours she has spent wearing a ‘pregnant suit.’

For fans, the change in Bella will undoubtedly be a relief. I’ve heard lots of die hards talk about how frustratingly helpless her character seems. It should be nice to see a Bella that can stand on her own two feet without swooning over a studly Jacob, or a sulking Edward.

I’m looking forward to seeing a different side of Robert Pattinson in ‘Elephants,’ but just like the rest of us, I need my vampire fix.

While some of the cast members got to grips with their set location in North Shore Studios, Pattinson headed about two hours north of the Canadian city to Pemberton to shoot some scenes around the Cullen’s home.

Surrounded by snow capped mountains the British actor looked very cozy and well wrapped up during the shooting.

The cast are due to start filming on Beatty St in Vancouver on March 14. The cast will be shooting the remainder of their interior scenes in the North Shore Studios over the coming weeks.

Do You Want A New Volvo In Breaking Dawn?

It's no secret that most Twilight fans were not pleased with the change of Volvos in the films.
In Twilight, Edward (Robert Pattinson) drove a silver C30 coupe. While this wasn't what Stephenie Meyer had chosen (she actually picked the S60R), the Twilight coupe was close enough to the book's description to melt into the storyline.

Then, in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Edward's "stupid shiny [silver] Volvo" became a smoke gray SUV, the XC60 Crossover.
Why?

Well, first of all, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner went on The Tyra Banks Show and gave away the original to a fan (see the attached video - so great).

Then, as Chris Weitz explained, there was a marketing opportunity at-hand (Volvo is a huge advertising partner for the Saga now) coupled with some executive decision-making in the mix.

I've taken a real spanking for this, a lot of heat . . . I'll tell you exactly why: Volvo wanted to give us a new, different car so I didn't want to paint it exactly the same silver color, because then [Twilighters] would be saying, 'Why are they trying to say that it's the same car; it's obviously not.' So, I thought, 'Well, I'll choose a new color!' And I thought I would choose slate black, not a reflective black, because it actually absorbs light and it would reflect the mood and melancholy and depression [of his character]. I know I got it wrong, I apologize for that. But that is my reasoning.

Since The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was filmed before New Moon came out, the same car was used during production before fans really got the chance to speak up in protest. According to FoForks, the Eclipse SUV was spotted at a car show recently. While it's not certain this was the Volvo, it was promoted with Eclipse insignia and the like, so it's not certain it wasn't. Whether or not it was the car from the movie, it draws up the question - will Breaking Dawn give us a new one?

Some contended, when the New Moon Volvo change-up controversy began, that the C30 Coupe was no longer available and that this was part of the reason Volvo wanted to switch it out. Well, that is not the case now. Looking at Volvo Cars USA's website, one can see that that model of the car is indeed available in a 2011 model, and one of the color choices for the design is "Silver Metallic."

So, why not go back to the original?
After all, it's going to have some competition for attention in Breaking Dawn if the movies faithfully adapt the book. Bella gets a Guardian (which, of course, isn't real but is similar enough to the Mercedes Guard), and then there's the Ferrari . . . You get the idea. Also, there's a great scene in the story where Bella (a new, beautiful vamp) steps out of Edward's Volvo to speak with J. Jenks' assistant . . . so, the Volvo is again an important component of a specific scene from the book.

Perhaps Volvo will approach (or has done so already) Bill Condon with the concept of bringing back the original. With the return of Carter Burwell to score, there is a hope that some of the better aspects of Twilight will resurface in Breaking Dawn. The Volvo should be one of them. This would be delightful, don't you agree?

Robert Pattinson to sing in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Robert Pattinson has made no secret of the fact he's always wanted to be a musician and the actor may have bagged himself spot singing in the new Twilight film Breaking Dawn.

Pattinson is being lined up to perform Renesmee’s Lullaby during a scene in the forthcoming movie, according to MTV.

The actor, 24, will reportedly sing and play the piano during his solo spot which will showcase his musical talents.

It won't be the first time cinema-goers have heard his dulcet tones - R-Pattz has already had two songs of his called Never Think and Let Me Sign featured on the Twilight soundtrack.
Last year, Pattinson played an impromptu gig in one lucky fan's living room as part of the Songs From A Room project.

He also admitted in the past that he wanted to be a rapper when he was 14.
'Music is my back-up plan if acting fails. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket,' he told Parade.com last year.

'I kind of want to do [an album] at the end of the year - all my friends are recording albums and I'm very annoyed about it, but I can't do two things at once.
'I don't know how people like Jennifer Lopez can act and also sing. I'm just like, 'I can't'. But, hopefully, I'll find some time to get it together.'

What does the future hold for Bella, Edward in 'Breaking Dawn'?

Torrid honeymoon sex in tropical Brazil.

The most horrifying pregnancy since Rosemary delivered her devil child.

The threat of a vampire massacre on a nuclear scale.

No wonder the film version of Breaking Dawn is coming out in two parts — the first arrives Nov. 18. (The second is due Nov. 16, 2012.)

The wrap-up to the film franchise that began in 2008 and has grossed nearly $1.8 billion worldwide is truly the event-filled mother-of-all Twilight tales, based on the massive fourth volume of Stephenie Meyer's literary phenom.

Even the most rabid Twi-hards have been nervous about how the sometimes graphic 754-page tome would translate on screen as the mixed-marriage spawn of courtly bloodsucker Edward Cullen and beloved human Bella (played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) leads to friction with the Volturi, who act as vampire royalty, and the werewolf-prone Quileute tribe.

But never fear, says producer Wyck Godfrey.

Speaking from the Baton Rouge set where both installments of Breaking Dawn are shooting simultaneously, Wyck answered some of the Twi-faithful's more pressing questions.

Q: Where does the story split in half?

A: "We basically want to take the audience through the emotional part of Bella's journey as she becomes a vampire. The first part will cover the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth." The film ends just before she embarks on her supernatural transformation.

Q: The book has three segments, two of which present Bella's point of view and a middle that's devoted to the perspective of her rejected werewolf suitor, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). How is that handled?

A: "The story will break from her and follow Jacob throughout the course of the movie as he struggles with his own dilemma. There is a sense that as Bella and the Cullens (Edward's makeshift vampire clan) deal with her pregnancy, the world is still turning outside with Jacob."

Q: Why was Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning filmmaker best known for his musicals as the screenwriter of 2002's Chicagoand the director of 2006's Dreamgirls, selected as the director of the finale?

A: "These films have the most difficult stuff from a performance standpoint. With his history of directing, I can't think of anyone who would be better at bringing out the best in an actor." Plus, the director, who did the 1995 sequel to Candyman, is a fright-fare enthusiast. "He has an appetite for the genre and a passion for the Twilight books and movies."

Q: Considering what goes on during the torturous birth process, how can the rating be PG-13?

A: With Twilight's core of under-18 fans, "it would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated." However, "this is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated."

A compromise: Having the bloody, bone-crushing delivery be seen only through Bella's eyes. "She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees."

Q: How is the long-awaited consummation of Edward and Bella's love portrayed?

A: Even though their physical relationship goes way beyond what was shown in the first three films, "it does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual."

Q: At the end of Breaking Dawn, about 70 or so vampires from around the world gather to face off with the Cullens and their allies plus Jacob's wolf pack. How can you keep both portions of the storytelling equally compelling?

A: "The second half is more of an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes." But the domestic moments of the first film possess an emotional punch. "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."

Q: Is there any chance that Condon could sneak in a musical number?

A: There might be traditional dancing at the wedding. But don't expect any of the wolf pack to suddenly howl a tune or do a soft-shoe shuffle.

Although, as Godfrey jokes, "We just had a whole line of actors marching toward the camera. We could have them practice a chorus line with vampires doing kicks."
