EW Exclusive Video: Booboo Stewart at Breaking Dawn Release Party With Erik Odom and Jack Morrissey

Booboo Stewart popped up at a Breaking Dawn release party in the Los Angeles area.

An especially gorgeous midwinter Friday night was not enough to deter Los Angeles Twilight fans from lining up inside the West Hollywood Target for a sneak peak of Breaking Dawn — Part 2. This infamous Target wasn’t only one to hold a midnight release party for the DVD-Blu-ray release of Breaking Dawn — Part 1 — in fact, it was one of nearly 500 – but it was definitely the only location to boast a surprise visit from one of the film’s stars, Booboo Stewart. EW was on the scene to check out the footage and chat with Stewart and the fans on their thoughts. Spoiler alert: The fans really liked it!

We can’t embed the video, but you can see it here.

Also present at the very same store were Bill Condon’s partner Jack Morrissey (find him on Twitter on Team Jack) and Erik Odom who plays Peter in Breaking Dawn Part 2. Thanks to our friend Tina Gill for sending over photos.

Jack Morrissey, Bill Condon’s partner, just recorded his inaugural podcast a the home of his good friends Kevin Smith(movie director/writer, podcaster, etc). As his co-caster, he had on Greg who has worked with Bill Condon on several projects.

During the podcast they ramble about on several topics from their backgrounds, to musing on life in Los Angeles, to recording the score in London. They aren’t sure where they are going with future shows and what information might be included in them, but they are having fun with it.

Jack Morrissey Tweets a Few Breaking Dawn Secrets!

Bill Condon’s partner took to twitter the other day and answered a few questions about Breaking Dawn.  Here a few of the highlights:

Q: Will wee see Bella’s Mercedes Guardian in the movie?

A: No, we go straight to the Cullen house. Sorry! One of those scenes that doesn’t serve an overall movie story pace.

Q: Is the scene where B&E announce their wedding to Charlie in the movie?

A: Yeah sort of — you’ve seen it already.  He’ll (Charlie) will make you cry TWICE in part 1.  You’ll be very happy with the scenes and Billy has never been better.  He rocked it. (Then later…)  You will love his wedding toast.

Q:  One thing I’ve missed in the series is the emphasis on Alice’s and Bella’s friendship!  That has been lacking.

A:  Well, you won’t be missing that anymore, believe me.

You can read all the tweets via TwiFans.  Let us know in the comments if this makes you feel better about Breaking Dawn or if anything makes you worry.

 

 

Introducing Your Very Own Twilight Body Wash

Well, not exactly, but right now Bill Condon is in London in conjunction with the score for Breaking Dawn happening. His partner, Jack Morrissey just tweeted a photo of an unusual product he found on UK shelves.

EW Breaking Dawn Cover Eye Color Mystery Solved

When the Entertainment Weekly cover hit with Edward and Bella in the water, sharp-eyed readers noticed that Robert Pattinson’s eyes were not golden and Kristen Stewart’s were not brown. We figured since there was so much water involved in the scene wearing contacts wasn’t possible and that they’d fix it digitally in the final touches on the film (much in the same way Kristen Stewart couldn’t wear contacts in the New Moon cliff diving scene.)


Well it turns out there is another answer. Bill Condon’s partner, Jack Morrissey responded to fan inquiry and here is the answer. According to Bill Condon, the picture in EW is a rehearsal shot. They had the actual contacts in when the cameras actually rolled and things like that are also double checked in post production.

So no worries folks, the eye-color is correct in the film.

Meet Jack Morrissey: Bill Condon’s Partner With Breaking Dawn Goodies


Back when Laura went to Los Angeles to see the MTV movie awards, she met Jack Morrissey.  Jack is Bill Condon’s partner. Laura sat in between him and Erik Odom during the MTV awards show and the two of them had her laughing the whole time. they are both great guys, very cool, genuine and funny people.

Jack just started a Twitter ( @JackMorrissey ) account and he’ll be giving us some Breaking Dawn tidbits from time to time. Nothing too spoilery, all fun stuff.

So far he’s tweeted out a picture of Bill Condon’s and his dog (named Pigpen). He’s also put up a collection of the Twilight Saga books that they still have. (They had them all but gave away the early ones to an uber fan). And my personal favorite, the picture of Bill Condon’s Breaking Dawn clapperboard!

Also, Jack just did a podcast (called smodcast) with Kevin Smith (yes, THAT Kevin Smith). During the end of the podcast they talk Breaking Dawn and Comic Con and Jack defends the TwiHards right to be at Comic Con and states that by no means did TwiHards ruin anyone’s Comic Con experience in past years despite some moaning from traditionalists. (WARNING: please beware that the language is R-Rated as is typical with Kevin Smith’s shows)
