Breaking Dawn's Birth Scene Will Probably Be Gore-Free
The good news: It looks like Breaking Dawn will definitely include a birth scene.
The bad news: It will probably turn out to be a lot tamer than a lot of Twi-hards would prefer.
Eclipse producer Wyck Godfrey recently sat down with FEARnet to discuss the upcoming final installment of the Twilight saga, which begins filming in November, and it appears that gore fanatics might be disappointed with how the book's most infamous scene will play out on the big screen:
"I think the one thing that we've done that we've really done in all the films is keep them very subjective and keep them from Bella's point of view. So the conversations we've had with [director] Bill [Condon], is that we'll try to do something similar here; you're with Bella's perspective and her point of view of what's taking place in the rush around her, as she's in intense pain. Not so focused, objectively, on her body and his body and that. So I think it'll be something like that, in terms of trying to make the audience experience and feel the confusion, almost, of what's happening to her."
So...no close-ups of a bloody-fanged Edward Cullen performing an oral C-section, then? Well, at least we know we won't be gagging on our popcorn.
