The rest of the Cullens and Jacob stay nearby, and when Jacob acts possessively towards Renesmee, Bella learns he has imprinted on her. Meanwhile, Bella's father, has been attempting to contact the Cullens for updates on Bella's illness. They intend to tell him she didn't survive, which requires that they move away from to protect their identities. Jacob, desperate not to lose Renesmee, tells Charlie that Bella is in fact alive and well. He explains that Bella had to change in order to survive.
Charlie, now confused about his daughter, wonders why she had to change. Jacob morphs into a wolf, revealing his tribe's shape-shifting power, but does not tell Charlie about vampires as this would put him in danger and become a target for the Volturi or Charlie might spread word across Forks. Several months pass with monitoring Renesmee's rapid growth. On an outing in the woods, a bitter sees Renesmee from a distance and believes her to be an child. Immortal children were vampires who were changed in childhood, and because they could not be trained nor restrained, they destroyed entire villages. They were eventually executed, as were the parents who created them, and the creation of such children outlawed. Irina goes to the to report what she has seen.
Alice sees the Volturi and Irina coming to kill the Cullens, and instructs the others to gather as many witnesses as they can to testify that Renesmee is not an immortal child. The Cullens begin to summon witnesses, such as the Denali family. One of the Denali, Eleazar, later discovers that Bella has a special ability: a powerful mental shield which had protected her from Edward's mind reading even when she was human, and which she can now extend to protect others from attacks. As some of their potential witnesses are attacked and prevented from supporting the Cullens, Carlisle and Edward realize they may have to fight the Volturi. Their witnesses ultimately agree to stand with them in battle, having realized the Volturi increased their Guard by falsely accusing covens of crimes, destroying them and then recruiting the vampires with gifts. The Volturi arrive prepared for battle, led by, who is eager to obtain the gifted members of the Cullen coven as part of his Guard.
Aro is allowed to touch Renesmee, and is convinced that she is not an immortal child. Irina is brought forth and takes full responsibility for her mistake, leading to her immediate death. Aro still insists that Renesmee may pose a risk in the future, validating his claim that battle is necessary. Before any violence, Alice shares with Aro her vision of the battle that is to come, during which both sides sustain heavy casualties, including Aro, who would also die. Aro believes her, giving Alice and Jasper an opportunity to reveal their witness, Nahuel (a half-mortal half-vampire just like Renesmee). The witness proves that he is not a threat, supporting the notion that Renesmee is not a threat. The Volturi unhappily walk away, explaining that there will be no battle today.
Back at the Cullen home, Alice glimpses the future, seeing Edward and Bella together with Jacob and a fully matured Renesmee also together. Edward reads Alice's mind and feels relieved that Renesmee has Jacob to protect her. Alone in the meadow, Bella pushes her mental shield away and finally allows Edward to see into her mind, showing him every moment she and Edward shared together and the two share a kiss after Bella telling Edward, 'Nobody has ever loved anybody as much as I love you', and both Edward and Bella saying they'll love and be together forever.

Production Development After confirming one film, had been keeping their eye on a fifth installment. In May 2010, and were the only cast actors who were confirmed for both parts of Breaking Dawn, while other cast members such as and were still in negotiations for a second part. If the actors holding Summit back from making an official announcement did not reach an agreement with them, the studio would not have minded recasting their roles, as was done in with 's character, Victoria. However, in June 2010, Summit officially confirmed that a two-part adaptation of the fourth book would start production and it was made clear that all major actors, including the three lead roles, the Cullen family, and, would return for both parts.
Pre-production By August 2009, Rosenberg said that the scripts for Part 1 and 2 were 75 to 85 percent completed. She found the greatest challenge in writing the scripts to be the final sequence of Part 2: 'The final battle sequence is a big challenge because it lasts 25 pages', she said. 'It's almost an entire three-act story in and of itself. You have to track keep it all in one setting hundreds of characters. It's an enormous challenge to choreograph on the page and for Bill Condon to choreograph on the stage.'
She had written various drafts of the scene but, at that, hadn't revised or discussed them with Condon yet. She said, 'That's the next big hurdle to sit down with the stunt coordinator and create the ballet. It's a lot of work. I'm exhausted, but we're intent on making them the best scripts yet.'
Godfrey called Part 2 'an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes' and said that in Part 1 'there are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was.' Condon thought of Part 1 'as a real companion piece to '.
Condon explains, 'Like, everything that got set up there gets resolved here. I think you'll find that there are stylistic and other nods to that film.' Godfrey considered releasing the second film in to differentiate between the time before and after Bella becomes a vampire, an idea originally proposed for, but said that the decision is up to Condon. However, he said that if the second film were to be released in 3D, he would like to shoot it with the proper equipment in 'real' 3D as was done with (2009), not convert it into 3D in post-production as was done with (2010). However, it was confirmed on February 12, 2012 that Part 2 would not be filmed in 3D.
Filming started on November 1, 2010 and wrapped, for most of the cast, on April 15, 2011, ending the franchise's three years of production since March 2008. Filming was shot on location in,;, British Columbia;; and at the in Baton Rouge. On the subject of the final day and her final moment as Bella, Stewart stated, 'After that scene, my true final scene, I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light. I felt lighter than I've ever felt in my life.' Pattinson thought the day was 'amazing' and commented, 'I then asked myself why we didn't do this in those four years. Every difficult moment just vanished.' In April 2012, the crew and cast, including Pattinson and Stewart, returned for reshoots to pick up some additional shots for technical work with some of the cast and stunt actors.
However, these re-shoots did not include any new scenes or dialogue. Special effects first began working on the CGI wolves in February 2009 for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and the look of the creatures has evolved, becoming more photo real over the course of the saga, with the input of three different directors.
'It's a subtle balance of just how anthropomorphic these wolves are,' says Eric Leven. 'Bill (Condon) wanted to make sure that we had a sense of the human or the shape shifter in there. Finding that balance of how much of a human performance versus an animal performance was important for Bill.' Leven adds, 'Bill has always treated the wolves as characters and never as computer generated things, and directs them in the same way he'd direct any actor. He would always give us direction like Sam should be angrier. It's the best way to work.
His treating these creatures as characters, instead of just computer bits, was really great.' 'Because we've been working on this franchise for such a prolonged period of time, we've been able to improve the look from show to show,' comments Phil Tippett. 'Wolves generally are pretty darn clean and since Bill wanted the wolves rangier, that means a lot more fur matting and clumping, like they've lived out in the woods.
We edged towards something a bit more feral.' 'However, there is also a balance between look and technology,' adds Tippett. 'The body count of the wolves escalates and because we're adding a great deal more hair to get the right texture, that fur really ups the rendering time.
We've gone from four wolves to eight to twelve, to sixteen in Part 2. So we have to be very careful about that balance, because it takes hundreds of hours to render each wolf.' Main article: It was revealed in January 2012 that the soundtrack for Part 2 had already started production. Confirmed for the soundtrack in advance were 'Heart of Stone' by, which plays when Edward and Bella are talking in the cottage after finding Alice's note and 'Where I Come From' by, which will play when Bella wakes up from her transformation. The lead single from the soundtrack is ', performed by the American rock band.
'A Thousand Years, Pt. 2' by the American singer is also featured on the soundtrack album., the composer of and, returned to score the final installment of the series. In later announcements, Burwell confirmed that the score for the film was complete. 'The movie basically upholds the final installment with a score that has the same jungle-music feeling brought us,' Burwell affirmed. 'The music pieces that take place in the catalytic final battle will be very much like the nineteenth song in the previous movie's score, 'It's Renesmee' and the twenty-fourth, 'You Kill Her You Kill Me', which were, if not the most, one of the boldest pieces in my career.
I will tease anything but I recommend for the fans to listen to 'A Kick in the Head', 'Exacueret Nostri Dentes in Filia' and 'Aro's End' if you want to have goosebumps for the rest of your life.'

The films star, and. The series has grossed over $3.3 billion in worldwide receipts and consists, to date, of five motion pictures.
The first installment, was released on November 21, 2008. The second installment, followed on November 20, 2009, breaking box office records as the biggest midnight screening and opening day in history, grossing an estimated $72.7 million.
The third installment, was released on June 30, 2010, and was the first Twilight film to be released in. The series was in development since 2004 at, during which time a of Twilight that differed significantly from the novel was written. Three years later, acquired the rights to the film. After Twilight grossed $35.7 million on its opening day, Summit Entertainment announced they would begin production on New Moon; they had acquired the rights to the remaining novels earlier that same month. A two-part adaptation of began shooting in November 2010 with release dates of November 18, 2011, and November 16, 2012, respectively.
Contents. Development Twilight was in development for approximately three years at 's, during which time a differing significantly from the novel was written. For example, the script transformed Bella into a star athlete. Stated that there was some debate in allowing the movie to be made because of the negative or positive outcome of the movie compared to the book, 'They could have put that earlier movie out, called it something else, and no one would have known it was Twilight!' The idea of seeing a scene converted correctly, specifically the meadow scene, convinced Meyer to sell the rights. In seeing the script, she was frightened that she had made the wrong decision. When reinvented itself as a full-service studio in April 2007, it successfully acquired the rights to the novel., President of Production at, guaranteed a close adaptation to the book.
The company perceived the film as an opportunity to launch a franchise based on the success of Meyer's book and its sequels. Meyer felt that Summit was open to letting her be a part of the film. Was hired to direct the film, and soon afterward, was selected to be the film's structural base as the writer of the film. Rosenberg developed an outline by the end of August and collaborated with Hardwicke on writing the screenplay during the following month. 'She was a great sounding board and had all sorts of brilliant ideas.
I'd finish off scenes and send them to her, and get back her notes.' Because of the impending, Rosenberg worked full-time to finish the screenplay before October 31. In adapting the novel for the screen, she 'had to condense a great deal.' Some characters were left out, and others were combined. 'Our intent all along was to stay true to the book,' Rosenberg explained, 'and it has to do less with adapting it word for word and more with making sure the characters' arcs and emotional journeys are the same.' Hardwicke suggested the use of to convey the protagonist's internal dialogue, since the novel is told from Bella's point of view; and she sketched some of the storyboards during pre-production. Meyer, the author, and Hardwicke, the director, had a close relationship while developing Twilight.
Hardwicke wanted to embrace the experience and make the characters in the books come to life. She would call Meyer after changing a scene slightly, which surprised the author because, 'I've heard the stories.I know it's not normally like that when you adapt a book.'
Meyer, a natural pessimist, was waiting for the worst but, instead, called her experience in the book's film adaptation 'the best I could have hoped for.' Originally scheduled for release in December 2008, Twilight was moved to a worldwide release of November 21, 2008, after moved from a November 2008 release to being released in July 2009. See also: was on the set of when Hardwicke visited her for an informal screen test, which 'captivated' the director. Hardwicke did not initially choose Robert Pattinson for the role of Edward Cullen; but, after an audition at her home with Stewart, he was selected. Meyer allowed Pattinson to view a manuscript of the unfinished, which chronicles the events in Twilight from Edward's point of view. Meyer was 'excited' and 'ecstatic' in response to the casting of the two main characters. She had expressed interest in having and cast as Bella and Edward, respectively, prior to pre-production.
(Left to right) Director Chris Weitz, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson attending the photocall for New Moon on November 10, 2009, in Paris, France was not originally cast as Carlisle Cullen: 'Hardwicke liked him, but there was another actor that the studio was pushing for.' For unknown reasons, that actor was not able to play the part, and Facinelli was selected in his place. The choice of to portray Alice Cullen was criticized by some fans because Greene is 7 inches (18 cm) taller than her character as described in the novel. Meyer said that resembled her vision of Alice. Had previously worked with Hardwicke on the successful (2003), which they co-wrote, and (2005). Was in, shooting the, when the auditions for the character of Emmett Cullen were conducted. The role had already been cast by the time the HBO production ended in December 2007, but the selected actor 'fell through'.
Lutz subsequently auditioned and was flown to Oregon, where Hardwicke personally chose him. Wanted a role in the film because Hardwicke was director; she saw 'the potential to explore a character, hopefully, over three films'; and she wanted to portray a. 'She thought that vampires were basically the best metaphor for human anxiety and questions about being alive.'
Initially auditioned for Jessica Stanley, but she 'fell totally in love with Angela' after reading the books and took advantage of a later opportunity to audition for Angela Weber. The role of Jessica Stanley went to, who got the part after two mix-and-match auditions with various actors. Because of major physical changes that occur in the character of Jacob Black between Twilight and New Moon, director Chris Weitz considered replacing in the sequel with an actor who could more accurately portray 'the new, larger Jacob Black.' Trying to keep the role, Lautner worked out extensively and put on 30 lbs. In January 2009, Weitz and Summit Entertainment announced that Lautner would continue as Jacob in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
When they told me Rob was probably the one, I looked him up and thought, 'Yeah, he can do a version of Edward. He's definitely got that vampire thing going on.' And then, when I was on set and I got to watch him go from being Rob to shifting into being Edward and he actually looked like the Edward in my head, it was a really bizarre experience. He really had it nailed. Twilight author Stephenie Meyer In late March 2009, Summit Entertainment released a list of the actors who would be portraying the 'wolf pack' alongside Lautner.
The casting for the rest of the was headed by casting director Rene Haynes, who has worked on films with large American Indian casts, such as and. In mid-2009, it was announced that would be replacing as Victoria for the third Twilight film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Summit Entertainment attributed the change to scheduling conflicts. Lefevre said she was 'stunned' and 'greatly saddened' by the decision. Was cast as the newly turned vampire, Bree. Other new cast members for the third film include as, as Royce King II, as Maria, Julia Jones as, and as. Production Principal photography for Twilight took 44 days, after more than a week of rehearsals, and completed on May 2, 2008.
Similar to her directorial debut, Hardwicke opted for an extensive use of to make the film 'feel real'. Meyer visited the production set three times, and was consulted on different aspects of the story; she also has a brief cameo in the film. To make their bodily movements more elegant, and to get used to their characters' fighting styles, the cast playing participated in rehearsals with a dance choreographer and observed the physicality of different.
Instead of shooting at itself, scenes taking place at the school were filmed at Kalama High School and Madison High School. Other scenes were also filmed in, and Hardwicke conducted some reshooting in, in August. In early November 2008, Summit announced that they had obtained the rights to the remaining books in 's:, and. On November 22, 2008, one day after the theatrical release of, Summit confirmed that they would begin working on New Moon.
Had been working on adapting the novel prior to Twilight's release and handed in the draft for New Moon during Twilight's opening weekend in November 2008. In early December 2008, it was announced that Twilight director would not be returning to direct the sequel.
Hardwicke cited time restrictions as the reason behind her leaving the project. Instead, director of and co-director of, was hired to direct The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Filming for New Moon began in in late March 2009, and in, in late May 2009.
In early 2009, before the release of, Summit confirmed that they would begin production on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Since Weitz would be in post-production for New Moon when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse began shooting, he would not be directing the third film. Instead, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was helmed by director, with returning as screenwriter. Filming began on August 17, 2009 at and finished in late October, with post-production beginning early the following month. In April 2010, it was revealed that re-shoots of the film were needed.
Slade, who previously said he would not be around for them, was seen, along with, on set. The three main stars were also present., producer of the previous films in the series, stated in mid-2009 that they had every intention to make the film version of Breaking Dawn. Following months of speculation and cast rumors, it was officially announced on April 28, 2010, that, who directed and, would direct Breaking Dawn; producing the film will be Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and author. 'I'm very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we're hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,' said Bill Condon.
A November 18, 2011 release date has been set for the first part, while the second is scheduled for release on November 16, 2012. Following that announcement, Summit officially confirmed that a two-part adaption of the fourth book would start production in the fall on June 11, 2010. With this announcement, it was made clear that all major actors, including the three lead roles, the Cullen family, and, would return for both parts. Was also confirmed to direct both parts. In order to keep the budget on both parts of Breaking Dawn reasonable, which would be substantially greater than the previous installments in the series, filming in is also being negotiated.
