The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 finally hits theaters today! J-14 caught up with Rob Pattinson and chatted about his experiences from the beginning of it all to now, his favorite scenes from Breaking Dawn, Part 1, and what his own real-life wedding will be like!
Q: What's the journey been like for you from when you started filming Twilight to wrapping Breaking Dawn?
Rob Pattinson: I didn't even know if I was going to continue acting before this happened. Now, I have much more drive and passion. In the beginning, I just ignored that he was a vampire. He was just a troubled teenager who has a really simple story -- getting content with himself, which he does by finding a woman and having a child.
Q: Tell us all about the birth scene. Was it really as intense to film as everyone says?
Rob: I read the script before I read the book and I was astonished. It was terrifying going into it but it ended up being one of the most incredible scenes in the movie. Especially for Edward, he's always held back and been very objective and logical about everything, so having every character feel so desperate was something very, very different.
