Kristen Stewart on ‘Breaking Dawn’ wedding song: ‘I just became instantly emotional’

By in November 18, 2011 • Filed in: Articles and Interviews, Magazine, Twilight: Breaking Dawn

Kristen talks about the song that is played during the wedding scene in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part One.

Dedicated Twilight fans might recognize the song that plays during the long-awaited wedding between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) when they see Breaking Dawn this weekend (if they haven’t seen it already; the film made over $30 million in midnight screenings Thursday night). It’s a special ‘wedding version’ of the Iron & Wine song, ‘Flightless Bird, American Mouth’ that played during the prom scene in the first Twilight movie way back when in 2008.

“Before we even started shooting the first Twilight with [director] Catherine Hardwicke, I was rehearsing with Rob and we were sort of dancing around this room, trying to do this scene,” Stewart tells EW. “I put on Iron & Wine’s ‘Flightless Bird, American Mouth’ and I just became instantly emotional. Rob couldn’t handle it — it got weird! But I was like, ‘oooh, this is perfect.’”

Stewart says that they ended up playing the song for her on-set when they filmed the actual scene, and the rest is Twilight history. Listen for parts of the song to play during the long-awaited love scene too: “I think our composer played with it and you hear the melody throughout the film,” says Stewart.

Kristen Stewart: I ‘Got Really Close’ with Chris Hemsworth on Snow White Set

By in November 17, 2011 • Filed in: Articles and Interviews, Co-Stars, Snow White and the Huntsman

People.com spoke with Kristen about her filming Snow White and how she gets along with the cast & crew.

Twilight fans might be sad that the five-part series wrapped filming in July, but the saga’s star Kristen Stewart is excited about her next role.

“I’ve had the most indulgent experience on Snow White and the Huntsman so far,” the actress, 21, who plays the title character, told reporters at L.A.’s Breaking Dawn – Part 1 premiere on Monday. “We had a lot of pre-production and I really got close with the director [Rupert Sanders] and [costar] Chris [Hemsworth] and everything, so I’m having a great time!”

And Stewart wants to make one thing clear: She doesn’t feel like she needed much of a break before diving back into a starring role again.

“Obviously everyone thinks it’s a kind of rush to do it,” she says. “[But] it was good timing; I had a little bit of time off in between [filming Breaking Dawn and Snow White]. It was good.”

As for her time working on Twilight – which she calls “pretty unique” – Stewart tells PEOPLE she is grateful for her fans but is “fine either way” with the extreme fanfare or without it.

Kristen & The Guys on Entertainment Weekly

By in November 16, 2011 • Filed in: Articles and Interviews, Co-Stars, Gallery, Magazine, Twilight: Breaking Dawn

Kristen and Robert Pattinson & Taylor Lautner are on the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly Magazine.

The ‘Breaking Dawn’ stars talk blood, sex, and that vampire baby

Twihards have long been anticipating seeing Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) honeymoon on Isle Esme and consummate their marriage amid flying feathers. And as audiences will see when The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 arrives in theaters this Friday, the love scene does not disappoint. But, according to the stars of the movie, things could have been even more steamy — if it weren’t for director Bill Condon needing to keep the action PG-13. “There’s a version where it was really intense,” recalls Pattinson in this week’s EW. “Cinematically, cut all together, it’s awesome,” says Kristen Stewart. “But we didn’t really do that scene. ”

“And when we did,” adds Pattinson, “they kept telling us to stop.”

The PG-13 rating also limited things with regard to the climactic birth scene, which takes place at the end of the film. “That’s what I’m really disappointed about — and I’ve talked about it with Bill,” says Stewart. “It was more sympathetic or something when I played the scene with less energy, and it made it easier for him to tell the story. But in the book, Bella is screaming, ‘NOOOOO!’ [Stewart stands and demonstrates.] And I did it like that — crazy and Exorcist-like. I was going for this weird mix of turning into the most feral mother you can imagine and also fighting for my own life. I mean, I was a nutcase. I was an absolute nutcase.”

“I do still love the birth scene,” says Lautner. “I know it’s frustrating that some things aren’t in there.”

“Yeah,” says Stewart, “I still love it too.”

Bella’s Wedding Dress

By in November 15, 2011 • Filed in: Twilight: Breaking Dawn

Marc Malkin from E!Online spoke with the designer of the dress Carolina Herrera about the dress and how long it took to make.

“I worked on that dress for like six months going back and forth,” Herrera said. “I still have all the sketches and everything because it was so special.”

But she is nervous.

“There’s so much expectations,” said Herrera, who has designed real-life wedding dresses for starlets like Christina Hendricks, Renée Zellweger and most recently Amy Smart. “I hope [the fans] like it.”

Herrera didn’t have to research too much to come up with the right look. “It was a combination of things,” she explained. “I got inspiration from the book and descriptions from Stephenie Meyer. You had to really take in consideration the whole story—which was this innocent girl with the first true love of her life. It had to be magical.”

The fourth installment of the Twilight movie franchise hits close to the fashionista’s home. “I have four daughters and 12 grandchildren,” Herrera smiled. “They are all waiting for the movie.”
