Twilight Fansites Interview Bill Condon, Director of Breaking Dawn

Twilight fansites interviewed Bill Condon, the director of Breaking Dawn, earlier on in the year after watching never-before-seen Breaking Dawn clips.

Conducted June 3rd, 2011

(Just finished seeing clips and trailer.)

Bill Condon (BC): So what did you all think? Any thoughts?

Q: I can’t find the words to explain seeing them where I am from, in my favorite movie. Seeing Kristen out in Rio-to see Kristen there was like…

BC: Yeah, it was great to go down there-

I’m trying to recover.

(laughter)

BC: It was so fun. That’s how we started the movie, too. We spent our first couple weeks there, you know. And it was so great to actually feel, you know-it was actually our biggest experience of fans, kind of being on the set or tracking Rob and Kristen. It actually calmed down after that, but you really felt the excitement when you were there, you know?

Q: Was the fan interaction-I mean that was the one scene where it seemed like there were a lot of people around during filming.

BC: Right.

Was that distracting or did it help elevate the mood?

BC: Uh, it was weird ’cause that was again like our second night and it was-I didn’t know what to expect and actually, it turned out to be the most extreme of anything that happened through the whole movie. But when we’re on the streets of Lapa, suddenly, you know, we’re shooting something and this girl suddenly jumps into the shot and throws herself on Rob, goes “ha ha ha ha”, gets pulled off, and I think she was beheaded. I never saw her again.

(laughter)
