Breaking Dawn

In this great article from Access Bay Area magazine, Christina talks about her Breaking Dawn experience and what inspires her music.  Her song, A Thousand Years, debuting on the Breaking Dawn album, is noted to be one of her favorite songs. Check out the video at the bottom, but first…

Here’s an excerpt from the article :

“I’m actually most excited about the fans,” says Perri, a self-proclaimed member of “Team Edward,” as she shows off her wrist tattoo that reads “bitten” in the title font of the book series. “I think ‘twihards’ are my people and my tribe.”

Perri is the only superfan, however, to garner an advanced screening of Breaking Dawn’s first installment, and to write the first single off the motion picture’s soundtrack: a warmhearted wedding ballad called “A Thousand Years.”

“I just felt this movie was super romantic and this song that I wrote was the vibe of the movie,” she says. “I wrote it about the purest type of relationship and marriage and all this stuff that I don’t know anything about. I had to jump into their relationship in my head. For it to be chosen is magic — It’s been my favorite thing ever.”

And love is the recurring, profound muse that fuels the majority of her songwriting process.

For your enjoyment, here’s the video to A Thousand Years by Christina Perri :

According to Gossip Con:

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 has passed the $500 million mark.

The film grossed $508 million in global box office in only 12 days since the film’s release on November 18, 2011.

Summit Entertainment’s Co-Chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger stated: We couldn’t be more pleased with the success of this film and a franchise that the fans have continued to support over the past several years. Thank you to all involved with the films from the actors, filmmakers and Stephenie Meyer to the most important group of all, the global fan base that continues to drive a desire for more Edward, Jacob and Bella.”

Twilight fans beware as footage from the new Breaking Dawn film has leaked:

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are seen filming romantic scenes for the next installment of the Twilight series Breaking Dawn.

This Saturday as the third series of Twilight saga Eclipse comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray, many twi-hard fans, including myself are now anxiously waiting for the first installment of the final chapter of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, which is to be released in theaters November of 2011.

Recently some hot and steamy pictures have been released of Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) honeymoon on the beach in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, which for the Twilight film Breaking Dawn is called ‘Isle Esme’.

But nothing tops the leaked Twilight footage of the lovebirds acting out a romance scene. In this short footage, you can see Edward (Pattinson) and Bella (Stewart) exchanging some long kisses in the middle of the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Other footage shows the couple on a speedboat and walking the beach of Brazil. No audio is heard in the footage, but I’m pretty sure we twi-hard freaks can make it out, being we’ve read the book more then five times.

You can just imagine how crazy the streets of Brazil are at this moment with Twilight fans snapping pictures and videos any chance they get.  It would be pretty nice to be there right now. Beautiful Brazil with beautiful Edward, it doesn’t get better than that.

We’re just going to have to enjoy pictures and crappy bootleg videos. At least for a full year, until the official trailers are released and the debut of the first part of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn on November 2011.

Summit exec says the final ‘Twilight’ movie’s release date is ’still the source of discussions.’

In June, Summit Entertainment announced that “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” will be released as two separate films, with the first part arriving on November 18, 2011. Though no release date for the second part has been announced, the conventional wisdom has been that the second part would follow in the summer of 2012.

Not so fast. Summit distribution chief Richie Fay told MTV News that no such decision has been made and that the studio is still exploring multiple release dates, not just ones in the summer.

“We’ve targeted a number of dates, and we have yet to determine when it will happen,” Fay said. “We haven’t even determined that it will be the summer. It’s still the source of discussions.”

Of course, studios always explore various release dates for pictures, especially established blockbusters, and the fact that Summit hasn’t committed the second “Breaking Dawn” to the summer season shouldn’t be mistaken for confusion or indecision within studio headquarters.

But the 2012 summer movie calendar is rapidly filling up, not necessarily with films that widely share an audience with “Breaking Dawn,” but with established franchises or properties in their own right. That May will offer “The Avengers,” “Madagascar 3″ and “Men in Black 3,” while June delivers a “Star Trek” sequel. The rebooted “Spider-Man” has already nabbed the July 4th slot (occupied this year by “Eclipse”), followed closely by another “Ice Age” and a third “Batman.”

Surely there’s room here for “Breaking Dawn,” but Summit now has experience releasing “Twilight” movies both in the summer and the fall. And, as Fay says, the studio might not be ready to pick a season for “Breaking Dawn” until “Eclipse” finishes up its theatrical run.

“We might have a preference when we see where ‘Eclipse’ ends up,” he said of choosing one season over another. “It certainly might color our thinking, but we’re comfortable with either place. Right now, it’s a bit early in that stage of planning.”

Ready to start the countdown for the next installment, Breaking Dawn?
