Just to clear up any confusion on whether or not Michael Sheen will be returning for Breaking Dawn:

The British thesp closed his deal with the studio to reprise his turn as Aro, the leader of the vampire royalty Volturi.

Breaking Dawn ‘Renesmee’ Audition – Audition Tape

Posted on Oct 25, 2010 by Kimmy with 26 Comments.

This adorable young actress, Tilly, auditioned for the role of Renesmee, which eventually went to Mackenzie Foy. However, it’s very interesting to see how they cast the role, you can even hear some of the script samples they used. Even though these script ‘sides’ probably won’t be used in the film, they do make me really excited for the adorable Renesmee moments!

Melissa Rosenberg Gets Room To “Expand” Story In ‘Breaking Dawn’

Posted on Oct 22, 2010 by Nim with 21 Comments.

The previous movie adaptations of Stephanie Meyer’s vamp-lit juggernaut have gone pretty much by the book, but with the final novel “Breaking Dawn” being broken into two feature films, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg tells PopcornBiz she’s enjoying a little more leeway to add some fangy flourishes of her own.
“I did actually [get to do that], because we got to fill out the story because we’re doing the next two movies,” said Rosenberg. “So there was room to play and expand on some of the characters that Stephanie introduces. That was a lot of fun.”

“It’s a much more grownup movie – It’s an adult story,” the writer said of evolving the franchise beyond its high school origins. “The stakes are raised even higher because it’s not the story of teens. It’s the stories of grownups, so we’re talking about marriage and children and family – and these are pretty grownup things, but sexy.”
