Kristen Stewart Ingin Miliki Anak Dari Robert Pattinson

Diam-diam ternyata Kristen Stewart ingin miliki anak dari sang kekasih; Robert Pattinson. Berita itu beredar ketika sebuah sumber mengatakan pada US Weekly.
"Saat itu Kristen sedang berbicara dengan seorang ibu hamil dan tiba-tiba dia berkata ingin memiliki bayi dari Robert," kata sumber tersebut. "Sambil menyentuh perut ibu untuk merasakan tendangan bayi, Kristen berpikir seolah hal itu sangatlah keren."
Keinginan pemeran Bella dalam saga TWILIGHT ini memang tak ada salahnya. Bahkan Bill Condon, sutradara BREAKING DAWN PART 2,  mewanti-wanti bahwa keduanya cocok untuk segera memiliki anak.
"Saat syuting film ini, aku melihat bahwa Rob dan Kristen pantas menjadi orang tua. Mereka memiliki kepekaan dalam melindungi." Papar Bill Condon.
Sayangnya, keinginan Kristen bertolak belakang dengan Robert Pattinson. Sebuah sumber mengatakan bahwa untuk saat ini R-Patz tak ingin memiliki anak.

Bill Condon Talks Breaking Dawn Secrecy and Honeymoon

Movieline caught up with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon in San Diego, where he made his first Comic-Con appearance, joining stars including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner in debuting two revealing clips from the November release. But what parts of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (The wedding! The honeymoon! Imprinting!) will Condon fight to keep secret until the film lands in theaters?


I’ve seen every Twilight panel at Comic-Con over the years, and Kristen and Rob and Taylor really seemed more comfortable this time around.
Oh, good! Well, they’re getting older, right?
What were your feelings coming to Comic-Con this year? Every Twilight director has made an appeal to fans when they come aboard the franchise, whether through open letters or otherwise, and Comic-Con is a huge opportunity to actually engage with the fans to reassure them.
Exactly. That’s what’s been the best part of it, I have to say. Part of it is like a junket day, but the other part is showing footage to all the fans in one place. And that’s like having the best test screening you’ve ever imagined, really getting to expose it while we’re still working on it! Getting to expose it to a crowd like that was really fun.
What current work are you doing on Breaking Dawn?
Finishing up the cut now. I’d say another two, three weeks. And we start scoring and mixing in September.
When you were first announced to direct Breaking Dawn, you seemed a bit of an unusual choice.
Yes, sure — I hadn’t done action before.
Not only that, but the idea that Bill Condon would want to direct a Twilight movie! What were the reasons you were interested in the job, and how did you go about convincing Summit you were the right director?
You’d have to talk with them but I think it was the connection to the material that I felt. Because it’s all told from Bella’s point of view, I don’t know why I hook into her so much especially in this story. And my Kristen Stewart crush, you know? The idea that she was going to take this journey, I was really exciting to collaborate with her on that.
Breaking Dawn is also particularly challenging because, at least when I read it, I thought certain things and events might be unfilmable — the invisible powers colliding in the ether and, well, imprinting. How did you figure out how to approach those elements cinematically?
I think with imprinting it’s, more than anything, because the book does go into Jacob’s point of view…
[An engine revving on the street below interrupts]
Is that Kellan? [Laughs] But imprinting — I think it had to be told visually from Jacob’s point of view, but Jacob as magic creature. That’s the thing, that’s what it represents. It’s his magical wolf part that’s being expressed there, it’s not the guy who goes to high school and is on the reservation. Once you key into what the essential thing is, it helps to visualize it.
What is your strategy in regards to what to show and what not to show to fans?
I know! Well, it was hard this time, because I think there are just basic things. You don’t want to show Bella in the wedding dress…
Why?
Because we want to, as long as we can and I hope we can keep it until opening day! We want to keep it a surprise.
You went pretty long without even announcing the dress designer. So, until opening day, will you not reveal Bella’s dress?
If we have our way, which you know will never happen. [Laughs] But I’m hoping! Certainly today in July, we’re not going to show anything in the wedding dress, and I’m not going to show anything of her pregnant because that’s a whole transformation that she goes through. So you take that out of the equation and for Bella and Edward there’s really only the honeymoon, and for Jacob, it’s really not that many scenes. So it wasn’t really hard to figure out once you got to that point.
The Jacob scenes shown at Comic-Con were interesting because, as you mentioned on your panel, we’ll see things that don’t really happen in the book. How did you decide what to tweak?
I think it’s just that, in a movie, you want to really concentrate things. It’s all suggested in the book that once he breaks with Sam and the pack they have this threat now, but in the movie it becomes a clear idea that they [the Cullens] are under siege, and that Sam and the rest of the wolves are circling them, just waiting — and that the Cullens haven’t fed so they’re hungry, they’re weak. The wolves are either going to attack as soon as one of them leaves to feed, or they’ll wait for them to get too weak. It’s a real tension that builds up, it’s a very strong suspense idea.
I like that Jacob’s scene in the woods is evocative of a double agent reveal in a spy movie.
Exactly! And when you see it in the movie, you don’t know — Jacob might be telling the truth at that point.
There are so many iconic scenes in the book; how do you walk the line of romanticizing the feathers-at-the-honeymoon scene, or deciding how gory to go with the birth scene, in a PG-13 movie?
You know it’s not going to be an R-rated movie, so it’s a great challenge. How do you have the experience without having to be too explicit about it. I think that’s not a hard thing to do. No one wants to see — no oneneeds to see a full-on sex scene to have the incredibly intense experience that they’re making love, you know?And it’s more romantic. The same with the birth; I think it’s very visceral, but it doesn’t necessarily need close-ups of certain things.
Did you track the fan reaction when the honeymoon footage leaked?
Oh, yeah. That was upsetting.
I can imagine — so much got out. But fans seemed to love what you did in that sex scene. Especially, if I may point out, the bed breaking glimpsed in the trailer. It’s sexy.
[Laughs] I think it’s good. I hope people feel that way.

'Breaking Dawn' Director Bill Condon on Adapting Steamiest Chapter in the Saga

Movies.com: You showed two clips today.  For the clip that was of the honeymoon scene in the secluded island getaway, the thing that struck me was that there is so much silence. There isn’t a lot of dialogue. That could result in intended awkward silences or just unwanted awkwardness, can you relate how that choice came about?


Condon: That’s very intriguing. I was looking because we started to do a temp mix on the movie, and the whole last reel it’s 20 minutes long and there are only 59 lines.  So maybe that’s a thing. I don’t know. But there, there is this incredible elephant in the room, and it’s called a bed. It’s between them, and it’s almost comic how much this has been anticipated. Forget about the fan anticipation, but just the anticipation of these two characters. So inevitably, it’s about what’s going on between the lines.  The two actors just captured that so well. Part of it is its awkwardness is funny too, but in a very real way. 


Movies.com: In other words the audience is laughing with Bella not at her as she’s flinging all these skimpy outfits out of the suitcase? 


Condon: Right, right.


Movies.com: In the Hall H panel, you talked about how you feel that there is no bigger Twilight fan on the set than Kristen Stewart. Can you expand on that?


Condon: Right from the beginning she was a real collaborator. When I sit down with her with and a draft of the script and she says, “God I miss this part not being in,” most of the time we put it right back in. I think she never loses sight of what it was like for her the first time she read Breaking Dawn. She’s reading it as a fan, but also with the responsibility of giving and living up to what is expressed in the books about what Bella is feeling. She becomes an important voice to listen to in all of that. As I said we’d talk about it, then we’d rehearse it, then we’d block it, then we’d come to the day and we would still find some nuisances that we’d want to explore having reread it again the night before.


Movies.com: The other clip featured Taylor Lautner with the wolf pack and also with Carlisle and Esme Cullen. You mentioned in the Hall H panel that some of the scene was book-based and some was original. Did you have any chance to collaborate with Taylor Lautner the way you did Kristen Stewart?


Condon: Yes, totally, absolutely! He is equally devoted to the book. It was funny today someone asked him on the panel  if he felt as if he was as heroic as Jacob? He hemmed and hawed. I’m not talking about his heroism, but I do feel like there is an openness of heart to him. It is so much right in line with Jacob that he was really intent on holding on to all those moments. And again he very much felt the responsibility of interpreting what was going on with his character. He would refer to the book absolutely.


Movies.com: We also saw brief clips of Peter Facinelli and Elizabeth Reaser as Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Do we see more of the Cullens functioning as a  family unit  in this movie?


Condon: You know it’s interesting because you get to see them at the wedding obviously, and it’s something that Alice has thrown, but there’s not a lot of conflict there.  Once Bella comes back from her honeymoon people take sides. There are people for the idea of keeping that baby, and those that are against. So there is this conflict between them all  that really has come to the surface.  It’s interesting because we have never seen that much before. Obviously they voted on Bella’s fate, so they each had a point of view towards that, but it’s never been as sharp before.  There’s Esme just shutting down a conversation, Rosalie screaming at Alice, and stuff like that. So that a fun development.
