Check out the Official Teaser for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1!

Two words…Headboard, and WHOA ha ha

The New Zealand Herald has an interview with Robert Pattinson from his recent worldwide promotional tour for Water for Elephants. Here Rob discusses what fame has been like, filming Water for Elephants with Reese Witherspoon and Tai the elephant, filming the birth scene in Breaking Dawn and having mixed feelings about saying goodbye to Edward Cullen. Read more below:

In Breaking Dawn, their characters Edward and Bella marry and have a child. One of the most pivotal scenes is the birth of the couple’s baby and turning Bella into a vampire.

“It was insane, intense,” he says of the scene, explaining that Edward can either lose Bella or give her a bite and thus immortality. “It was a pretty traumatic scene for me to do as an actor and, frankly, horrible for me emotionally. Edward has tried for so long not to turn Bella into a vampire and now … well, it’s very sad. He feels like he has let her down.”

He admits to mixed feelings about saying goodbye to Edward Cullen.

“I’ll be very glad not to put those contacts in anymore or have to put on the sparkling makeup, but I will really miss the character. I do love the guy. I feel like I know him pretty well now.”

Today is the 25th birthday of the talented and gorgeous Robert Pattinson! From the staff here at Twilight Dazzles, we would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday!

Ashley Greene sat down with NextMovie to talk about her new movie, Skateland, and while she was there, even chatted a bit about Breaking Dawn. Ashley tells NextMovie how she and most of the vampire cast wanted to do most of their own stunts, and pushed themselves to do as much as they were physically allowed to do. Read more below:

When NextMovie sat down to discuss her upcoming film, “Skateland,” she confessed that she and the rest of gang — yep, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner too — were ambitious when it came to doing their own daring battle tricks for “Breaking Dawn.”

“They’re working with special effects but actually our cast as a whole is pretty athletic,” she tells NextMovie exclusively. “Everyone really wants to be able to do their own stunts. We all worked really hard to do as much as production would possibly allow us do insurance-wise.

“A lot of what you see will actually be us doing it.”

She couldn’t go into further detail about what all that entailed, but we’re guessing it means she’ll be doing quite a bit of running, jumping and pouncing on members of the Volturi army. In other words, Bring. It. On.

While they look at this love triangle they look back and recognize the ten greatest love triangles in film history. Of course The Twilight Saga comes out on top. Read more below:

Water For Elephants captures the ultimate love triangle. In director Francis Lawrence’s interpretation of Sara Gruen’s New York Times bestseller, Robert Pattinson’s veterinary student, falls accidentally into the Benzini Bros circus and finds himself deeply in love with its star Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), married to the brutal and charismatic August (Christoph Waltz)

Whether their impossible love can transcend the grim realities of her marriage and the survival of the circus in Depression Era America from the foundation fir this classic and moving love story.

This kind of forbidden love features in the greatest love stories of all time. from the original historical templates of Romeo and Juliet and Tristan and Isolde, to contemporary interpretations like Brokeback Mountain and Atonement, the central dynamic of lover fighting against all odds breaks the heart of the viewer and stays with you long after the lights have gone up.

As tribute we remember ten of the greatest love triangles in film.

- Twilight: Not easy to choose between a bare chested wolfman and a glittering vampire – especially when they fight so well over you in a two man tent; while you are sleeping.
