‘Breaking Dawn’ Movie May Not Have A Birth Scene– At Least Not If Melissa Rosenberg Has A Say

For “Twilight” fans, staying accurate to the source material when adapting the books to film goes without saying. Melissa Rosenberg has made some decisions we haven’t agreed with in the past (changing the end of the scene we saw at the Movie Awards, for one), but when she suggested slight alteration in the birthing scene in “Breaking Dawn” in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, we couldn’t have agreed with her more.

“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.”

Interview Magazine: Xavier Samuel

In Eclipse, erstwhile love-triangle mates Edward (Robert Pattinson), Jacob (Taylor Lautner), and the object of their mutual affection, the irresistibly over-it Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) confront a bloodthirsty army of murderous “newborn” vampires created by witchy redhead Victoria (played in Eclipse by Bryce Dallas Howard, who replaces Rachelle Lefevre). Samuel plays Riley, Victoria’s lead newbie and main pinch, who aids the vampiress in her attempt to once and for all vanquish the holy trinity.

In addition to Eclipse, Samuel—a veteran of a handful of indies down under—recently completed work on Roland Emmerich’s forthcoming political thriller, Anonymous. His Eclipse co-star, Howard, reconnected with the actor, who was back home in Australia, visiting family and preparing for the deluge.

BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: So now that you’re almost on the other side with Eclipse, how has everything been for you? It’s all been a little wild, right?

XAVIER SAMUEL: Yeah, it has. It’s kind of like being struck by lightning in a way, because it all seems so improbable.

HOWARD: Eclipse is your first American film.

SAMUEL: It is. I’ve been doing American auditions for a while, and it always felt sort of like sending these audition tapes off into the ether. So just hearing anything back from anyone was kind of startling.

HOWARD: When we were shooting Eclipse, it was amazing for me to see how the girls all went berserk over you. These girls were totally losing their minds—and much like everyone else in the cast who experiences those sorts of things, you dealt with it really graciously and wonderfully. Were you at all startled by that?

SAMUEL: I mean, it’s kind of bizarre, isn’t it? Having that kind of attention. I’m not under the microscope in the same fashion that a lot of the other cast members are, so I think I can slide under the radar a little bit more, but getting any attention at all is completely new for me.

‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ soundtrack hits number two on Billboard Top 200

Despite predictions that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse‘s official motion picture soundtrack would debut at number one on the Billboard Top 200 chart, it has finally hit the charts . . . at the number two spot.

Reports Billboard, “Well, Gleeks rejoice! The ‘Journey to Regionals’ EP debuts at No. 1 with 152,000 sold according to Nielsen SoundScan, besting the ‘Eclipse’ album at No. 2 with 144,000.”

Predictions which vetted Eclipse for number one estimated that it would earn “possibly as much as 140,000 to 160,000 copies sold,” so these numbers fall right in line with expectations.

I love it when we get interviews of more that one cast member. It is also so much fun to hear from the Cullens, we always learn interesting things that happened on set or crazy fan encounters 🙂 I just loved it when Peter said he would mention any names but instantly looked at Nikki, he can do some pretty funny faces. It also looks like Bryce was a really big fan of the books before stepping in Victoria’s shoes, if she really enjoyed the books that might bring a different view to her portray in the film. Hmm, although on the other hand if I ever encounter a raccoon she will not be the first person to call for help ¬_¬ .
