After Robert Pattinson’s announcement that Breaking Dawn, the fourth
book in Stephenie Meyer’s ridiculously popular Twilight Saga, will hit the big
screen, we got to thinking: Will it make a good movie? And more important, will
it turn out better than the book?
Breaking Dawn is very different from the
first three novels in the series (Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse) and saw
numerous mixed reviews during its release week. The millions-strong fan base was
divided — everyone either loved it or hated it.
We’ve come up with 10 ways
the movie could either rake in major box-office bucks or epically fail in a way
not seen since Speed Racer dropped off the face of the planet. Even Pattinson
might not be enough to save this one.
1. Bella and Edward's
Wedding
The wedding and first 100 pages of Breaking Dawn is, without
a doubt, the most entertaining part of the book. It’s like old style Twilight,
with every character acting as they should (except for Edward and the garter ...
weird much?), and the ever-present Bella-Edward-Jacob love triangle.
Unfortunately, the most anticipated event since the Millennium is over all too
quickly and things start to get worse as soon as our vampire and his bride reach
their honeymoon destination, the Isle Esme. When Breaking Dawn is finally made
into a movie, more emphasis should be put into the wedding: It’s the last time a
lot of fans felt like they were reading The Twilight Saga and not some dodgy
fan-fic found on the Internet.
2. The "Sex" Scenes Yep,
you read that right. Bella and Edward finally get it on, in what can only be
described as the most absent sex scene written since the 1900s. The act itself
is merely implied, with the only proof it happened some broken headboards and
bitten pillows. Oh, and a very bruised Bella. How they’ll portray this in the
movie is anyone’s guess, and no doubt complaints of abuse and domestic violence
are a big fear of everyone involved with the movie. If it stays rated PG-13 like
its predecessors, ardent fans of Bella and Edward can kiss goodbye to their much
adored night of passion. Sorry kids, it’s still implication only.
3.
Jacob's Third of the Book Werewolf Jacob takes center stage for a
third of the book in what is arguably the best section of the entire 800-page
tome. He’s funny, realistic, and probably the only one in the book to actually
stay in character. If you were a member of Team Edward before, I guarantee
you’ll rethink your loyalty after reading Part 2. The young Jacob Black is
seriously that endearing, redeeming what is an otherwise tiresome read. Look for
Taylor Lautner to take center stage on the movie posters — he’ll be carrying
this one solo.
4. Renesmee's Birth
Normal births are
painful, right? They hurt, they’re messy, and yet some women have them time and
time again. Stephenie Meyer takes birthing to the next level in Breaking Dawn by
having a giant baby literally crack its way out of mommy dearest. Bella’s spine
breaks, leaving her writhing around like a beetle stuck on its back. Edward
swoops in to the rescue and rips the baby out of Bella’s uterus with his
bare-yet-sharp vampire teeth, then proceeds to turn his beloved into a vampire
in order to save her fragile human life. PG-13? Uhh ... no, not so
much.
5. Renesmee Carlie Cullen
Ignore the name for now,
I’ll get to that soon enough. The idea that Bella and Edward could have a
half-vampire, half-human baby is absurd, but to actually follow through on that
idea is not only ridiculous but unnecessary. It turned Bella into a crazy,
Rosalie-dependent robot and made Edward almost non-existent (more on that
later). Renesmee is an annoying character and one that I have no desire to see
immortalized on a DVD disc. Her accelerated growth and intelligence could prove
to be quite a problem for casting agents, not to mention the poor director who
has to work with a small child. Then there’s the topic of her name: Renesmee
Carlie Cullen, a mishmash of Bella and Edward’s mothers’ (Renee and Esme) and
fathers’ (Charlie and Carlisle) names. Eurgh.
6. A Major Lack of
Edward
We all know that Edward and Robert Pattinson are the driving
forces behind this franchise, so what would happen if he ceased to exist for
most of the fourth film? You’d have a problem, that’s for sure. In Breaking Dawn
Edward is all but forgotten after the first 100 pages or so, and basically just
mopes and moans whenever he pops up during the rest of the book. He’s a shadow
of his former, chivalrous self and hardly utters a loving word to the girl he’s
been waiting an eternity for. Summit would have to change this for the movie or
Robert Pattinson may find himself strangely redundant. It’s no fun playing a
vampire who’s lost his bite.
7. An Influx of Utterly Pointless
Characters
Many new vampires get introduced during the latter part
of Breaking Dawn. Unfortunately, though, none of them really do much of
anything. Yes, they can be pretty entertaining at times, but they’re in no way
crucial to the story development. If casting execs can only choose a handful of
new characters to cast, my vote would go to Garrett, Kate, Peter, Charlotte, and
Alistair. The others (yes, there are plenty more) are barely worth mentioning
and should only be cast if Summit suddenly find itself with more cash, and time,
than it needs.
8. The Absence of Action
Hardly anyone
dies in Breaking Dawn. Come to think of it, hardly anyone fights or even breaks
a sweat. The vampire Irina is the only fatality and, seeing as we’re only
introduced to her in this book, no one really cares about her anyway. Meyer
botched things up when it came to killing her characters, all of whom just live
happily ever after. There’s no epic battle like in Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows. In fact, there isn’t a sharpened fang in sight. It’s simple: Movies
need action or the audience gets bored. It looks like the screenwriter, Melissa
Rosenberg, will have to do what she’s done with New Moon and tweak some scenes
here and there in order to keep the fans awake.
9. Superfluous Plot
Points that Go Nowhere
Bella’s power and J. Jenks. Both of these
story developments are emphasized as important and crucial to the plot, yet
neither really go anywhere. Yes, Bella saves everyone with her convenient shield
that not even the most powerful of vampires can break, but it still wasn’t the
revelation it should have been. If this is the reason that Edward can’t read
Bella’s mind, I think I’d have preferred not knowing and making my own
explanation — I’m sure it would have been better than a Lily Potter-esque love
shield. The movie script will need to be edited better than the book or it’ll
end up as an 8-hour timesink.
10. A Vampire War that’s Won by ...
Talking?
When was the last time you saw bloodthirsty vampires back
down because some friendlier vampires asked them to? Never, of course. That’s
just not how it works in the world of the undead. They fight, they kill, then
they go and toast to their night. They don’t stand around talking for half an
hour before deciding they have better things to do. It’s something that can
almost be overlooked in a book, but in a movie? No way. Something has to happen
to keep the audience entertained, and a friendly chat ain’t going to cut it.
