Comic Con Wrap Up at Movies.com

Laura’s on going feature at Movies.com went up today featuring, yep, you guessed it, the events of Comic Con.  Unlike other journalists covering SDCC, Laura actually camped out with the rest of the fans.  So her perspective is a little different from other reports going out today.

To get the full Comic Con experience when it comes to The Twilight Saga you need to get in the trenches. With that in mind, I camped along with my fellow fans starting Tuesday afternoon for the 11:15 am, Thursday, July 21st panel. I found myself roughly fan number 155 in line. After two nights on lumpy ground, with freight trains going by at 3:00 am, I can honestly say it was worth it to see what Summit Entertainment and director Bill Condon were able to deliver.

By my estimate, there were around 1,000 fans lined up by 5:30 am.The line swelled to near capacity, 6,500 fans, by 10:00 am. The fun started at around 6:30 am, no doubt timed for the literal breaking of dawn. Summit Entertainment staffers came down the line and treated fans to Breaking Dawn coffee tumblers and posters. Next, carts of muffins, fruit, water and juice came down the line to feed hungry and thirsty fans. The best part, or so fans thought, was when cast members Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Booboo Stewart, and Julia Jones came through autographing for fans and posing for pictures with them. Just when actors went off to do their morning press conference, there was one more surprise. Staffers again came down the line with a bag that had tickets in it. If you drew out a marked ticket, you would be able to get autographs with the entire cast after that panel in Hall H. This would include that actors who were outside and Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner.

Breaking Dawn Comic Con Panel – full video

The entire Comic Con panel from yesterday is now available all over You Tube.  One of the easiest one’s I have found to follow is on the channel run by cybermelli’s.  Here are the first two videos where they introduce Bill Condon and the cast and start talking about the honeymoon as well as weather trouble.  You can follow the links through all 11 videos posted.

Video from Breaking Dawn Press Conference with Bill Condon and Trifecta.

I’ve found three videos currently posted from the Breaking Dawn press conference.  This is the media junket that happens before the actual Comic Con experience inside Hall H.  If and when any of the Hall H footage is on line, we will post that as soon as possible.  These clips have Taylor talking about imprinting, Kristen talking about how far the series has come, and Bill discussing the future of the Twilight Saga. You can also visit hypable for all of their blogging transcript from the conference.

 

Bill Condon Interview from Comic Con via Tompson on Hollywood

While Jen and Laura are having all the fun, Lori is sitting at home in Tennessee watching bit by bit as interviews and footage from SDCC is being loaded. I found this little gem of an interview with Bill Condon from Thompson on Hollywood and I have to say, I’m rather jealous!  I don’t know how they got such intimate access to Bill Condon but it is up close and personal!   The sound is wonderful, the questions are meaningful, and the answers he gives are just unbelievable!  The only downfall of this interview is that it ends rather abruptly. Let us know if you think this interview is as good as I think it is by leaving us a comment!

UPDATE! Here’s part 2 of the interview, found by the Twilight Examiner.

Bill Condon introducing :

Bill was sent noevel and outline and loved it. Jumped at chance to direct it cinematic

Bill joked he quickly imprinted on teh material

Rob Kristen and Taylor on stage

Kristen says it was waiting on her toes for six month waiting for wedding last to film. She was locked in a room in her dress to protect the secrecy

Brazil filming accorinf to Rob was beautiful first day bt was like a hurricane other days. Joked it was like a honeymoon in England.

 

First clip is after Jake Seth and Leah are protecting Cullen land,  Carlise and esme talk about carlise needing to get more blood for Bella but also their need to feed and how that is a problem due to the other wolves. It then flips to a scene with Jake confronting his old pack stating he wants them to take  Seth and  Leah back.   And then he says he’ll take care of the problem when the time comes because the Cullens trust him.

Second clip is Edward carrying Bella over threashold. Here asking for a human moment and then him leaving going down to beach and her brushing teeth, shaving, and going through clothes that are all really skimpy in a panic. You then see her go to the beach drop the towel she is wearing and presumbably join Edward in the water
