I don't see why more people do not like Hardwicke's Twilight. I think a big part of it was the budget. Breaking Dawn's budget is obviously far bigger than Catherine had, therefore I believe she worked that much harder on making a great movie. Condon Has more than enough money to play with for Breaking Dawn, so I think he used a lot of that to make even more money by using fancy graphics and such.

To show what I mean, watch the Twilight trailer, then the Breaking Dawn trailer. To a person that has never seen Twilight, watching the Twilight trailer will provide what the characters are like, and the basic plot of the movie. But when watching the Breaking Dawn trailer, they see fancy CGI and graphics. They see 'Look what we did with a computer!' I mean seriously, at least 60% of the trailer is devoted to showing wolves and gifts that lift water and people jumping and running amazingly. That doesn't tell you what the movie is about, it tells you that the director is a four year old with thousands of dollars in a candy isle...

I agree with you that Edward became less and less himself through-out every movie. I don't think the proposal in New Moon was played very well. It just didn't seem 'Edward.' If Slade had went with the book, I think that would have helped, but still wouldn't have done as much as needed.

And about the wardrobe, I get that once Edward fell in love with Bella, he became brighter and all, but each director has horribly attempted to show this through his clothes! We can see that he is happy with her, you don't have to put him in tacky clothes that his character wouldn't wear. By putting him in out of character clothes, you are creating a new character altogether, because if Edward wouldn't wear that, then it's not him.

I have much more to say on these topics, but I leave to now. I'll be back later to put in more input. ;)

Danette-

i also like Edward in the first movie more,he looks more as it is described in the book,but i have to say that i also like his in breaking dawn,you can see a more mature Edward. He also looks older which we should't be able to see but i mean thats impossible.Rob can't stay seventeen forever like edward!lol

Jacob in the other hand is really different that in the first movie,but thats how he is suppossed to be,i guess that wasnt a proble for them because through these years Jacob became grew and so did Taylor!

I also agree that each director brings chages,but in my opinion it makes the movies more interesting because we can see how different people see them.I really loved how Catherine introduce us to this world,but i am also liking how Bill is ending it,so far!

Rosalie did look more natural in Twilight, and i didnt like much how Kristen was in eclipse,i guess because of the wig.

Love,

Jess

No 'Breaking Dawn - Part 2' official illustrated movie companion being released

While "Complete Illustrated Movie Companion" books have been done by Mark Cotta Vaz for all four Twilight Saga installments - Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, andThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 - leading up to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, it's now been confirmed by the publisher that none such is coming for the final film.

Los Angeles-based writer Robert Abele penned the now-released The Twilight Saga: The Complete Film Archive: Memories, Mementos, and Other Treasures from the Creative Team Behind the Beloved Motion Pictures which is the only text being released for the final film.

View slideshow: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2'

The good news it that the Archive contains a lot of the same materials from Part 2 which would be found in a companion book done by Vaz (pictures, interviews and whatnot).

Thoughts on this news? Are you surprised no Breaking Dawn - Part 2-specific companion is coming? Why or why not?

so very exciting.....however....has anybody noticed in the teasers that none of the Vampires are sparkling anymore? The 1st 3 movies had them sparkling, but BD1, didn't and it doesn't look like the last one will have them that way either. It's sounds silly, but continuity would be good. (I like sparklely things).
