Bill: You want to talk first and then see another or what we should do next?
Jack Pan: You want to see the second clip?
(Laughter, everyone begins to shake his head in yes)
Laura (Lex): Or you could spend the whole movie, we'd be happy with any movie, you know (all laugh)
(They then pass a second clip of arm wrestling Emmett and Bella)
Bill: That's probably the days of our goal. That rock will look like a rock inside (Everyone laughs) ... Yeah, so all of you are seeing all faults (He is talking about that CGI still be irregular in stages. We saw the fight scene between Bella and Emmett. It, they rest their arms on what is supposedly a large rock, which seemed much foam because it is still proceeding. In our view, Kristen also attacked what appeared to be a stuffed cougar.)
Jack Pan: So folks, perhaps, pass quickly and their websites can get the 'Questions and Answers'?

Bill: (gestures to Jack Morrissey) Jack Jack's Team
(Everyone laughs)
Jack: (Looks Bill) Team Bill Condon
Bill: (looks at the people sitting to your left) Ian Slater, Gina Katz. We edit the film together. (Look at the back of the room) and Greg Yolan ... in charge of everything
Jack M: Greg Yolan Team Jack
(Everyone laughs)
Greg (nods): I'm Greg
Jack Pan: So who wants to start? (Nobody says anything) ... They were all so amazed
(Everyone laughs)
Jack: I do not understand.
(Everyone laughs again)
Laura (Lexicon): I dunno, I guess I'll start. The teaser (first) came out today and I think we all probably saw, like, 3 million times, and not that there's anything wrong with that. And one of the things I really liked is that you see glimpses of alternative viewpoints ...
Bill: Sure
Laura (Lexicon): Can you talk a little about how you chose, perhaps there is a collaboration between you, Melissa Rosenberg and Stephenie Meyer to decide which alternative points of view, and how much fun it was to shoot something that's not in the book, and that travel somewhere and back. Like, how much fun it was to go to that place?
Bill: Yes, I know exactly, like, for example, The Denali, right? In the book they come, and like to have our main characters on the road together in three different areas, it was an important thing to understand the perception of the film. I think you will see. You have an idea from the size of the title page. With this movie, it's all about perception in a weird way, and it's all about type, traveling the world for all these vampires. So it really was, in a few days we made that decision to do this is a challenge, because we presented, I think there are 23 new vampires, right? And we do it in the second act and the third act they are on the battlefield and you have to know them very quickly. Actually, it was really fun for the actors. Because they all realized they had only a moment or two, where they had to land that was what they did. That was part of what got me hooked. This is a completely new Twilight being presented in this movie.
Laura (Lexicon): Some of the alternative point of view is your favorite or is like choosing between your children?
Bill: Yes, it is. Definitely.
(Everyone laughs)
Kallie: Well, I'll go along. You mention the 23 new characters. I mean, that is profound for me. We were talking about it at breakfast, that's a huge number of people to work together. We took a look at this trailer. Of them all together.
Bill: Yeah, yeah
Kallie: How was directing? I mean, it's kind of talent coping with many characters.
Bill: It was like, put in play. You know, we did something we never do in movies. As you know, the book is 100 pages of the book. His 25-page script. It takes a long time with the cast. We took a day and staged like a play, and we did the whole 25 pages. And we were like, part by part by part we had the actors. So it was almost like putting on a musical number. You know, because you will see it. In order to make life as if she had. It was not monotonous be there. I do not think it was, is part of how to have total certainty that you are doing very different things through it all, the film session. But it was good.
Andrew: And they have the same screen time? Like how it was balanced?
Bill: No. Um, you know, have some more time. The Denali is the most prominent, I'd say. Garrett is more prominent. The Irish people are more, you know, the gay Irish people.
(Everyone laughs)
Bill: Some of them, you know, I do not think you could do it honestly. Some of them were there to fill the kind feeling of being in the entire world. But I have to say that each of the actors, even they had their moments. They were little things that made a kind of pop.
Kaleb: How close is what we have seen here for the final release without adding CGI and stuff?
Bill: Okay, cut. Then, the cut is made. [Note: the footage in the first clip were identical to what was shown at Comic-Con] But the great thing is, it's all about Bella, you know, any wire that is there, will not be there anymore. All these things, when she gets on the rock, for example, her whole point is that she just found ... it creates its own support, basically pushing the rock [reference to rock climbing scene of Kristen Stewart for get to the top and was reacting to nonexistent debris]. So there will be a lot of debris, a lot of things while she is going, going down. It is creating all this then all those elements are not there yet. But the cut is cut.
Jack M: Laura was nervous during dinner last night that was like visiting edited last year in the bay where you have the opening scene of the Volturi, and ...
Bill: Oh, and then goes away
Greg: You were responsible for it (jokes)
Bill: That's right
Laura: We damn it [the visit last year, the site saw an entire scene that was originally scheduled to start the movie. It was filmed in Volterra and the Volturi were being told that Bella and Edward were married. The scene had strongly Marcus, Aro, Caius, Felix, and Demitri and a receptionist that was given to Felix and Demetri for lunch. Was cut from the final version because it was felt that it was more important to get to Bella and Edward immediately.]
Laura: You talked about the 23, it must have been an amazing job calling 23 people and you have all kinds of people. These 23 vampires, which was the easiest to find and what was the most difficult to find?
Bill: Oh, that's a good question. Umm, you know, Lee Pace as Garrett was obvious. So this just happened. There are some of them, you see them, and that's it, you know. The hardest thing, you know, the Denali sisters, get them do look like they all seemed the same family, but having those different qualities, it was a kind of mix and match. It took a little time.
Lee: Do you prefer recording so restricted that there is little room for variation or based on the collaborative nature of uniting the final cut, as is collaboration and how is deliberate in terms of choice? Or is it just situational?
Bill: Well, here's all collaborated and obviously these films are created by much of the room with the three of us [referring to himself, Ian Slater, Gina Katz.] So I have to say that this movie is very new to me . 2000 have taken effect. I think that's as much as Avatar. So it's like an animated movie. The last, in that field, I do not really want to talk about it because I feel it takes away the magic of it, but it was, as we know, everything on green screen. So we are between that and, you know, the powers and every part of it is still being created. We are still, we have these sessions every day, where we look at the recordings, perhaps twenty-recording version, so it still looks as if we were still in production, you know. (Look for Gina Katz) Gina you want to say something more about it?
Gina: No. (Everyone laughs) You said. I mean, many cameras all the time, so there are a lot of choices.
Kallie: Well, based on that, after shooting both films at the same time, I kind of feel like I already know your answer and what it will be, but it was good or bad, I mean, it was like, what was good, what was bad, have them separated until now been released.
Bill: It's funny that I was, I should not say I was with Eric Feig the other night and he was saying they are thinking about making the final two films like Hunger Games, and what advice would you give to the director and I was like do not do that (everyone laughs). I think it will take even longer to record, but yes, I would say, having to do so spaced and go through the experience of the movie a helpful, so put the two together movie while it is ... we're cutting things we filmed for a year and a half ago, we're just cutting, then it seems 'God is too long.' I am anxious. When originally started, the original idea was to leave in July, if you remember, then it was postponed. So I'm kind at the point where I'm so excited to show it to you. I want people to see it now. I do not want to wait as long as you do not want. But we needed some extra time, it was bigger than we thought.
Becca: You touched on the two while you were editing part one?
Bill: Gina always cut to the camera. And also Ian.
Jack M: You want to explain this term, cutting into the camera?
Bill: It's like going home on Friday and see everything that had been recorded until a few days before. So we cut both films before we started Dawn 1.
Jack M: A long movie.
Gina: We separate the two parts, we focus on what needed to do first and then when finalizávamos, we were ready.
Andrew : This question may be a bit direct, but what happens at the end of the film. Because as the trailer, it's building.
Greg: Jack is sitting close enough to get there and go like this (makes motion to get it) on you.
(Everyone laughs)
Jack Pan: Do you have an idea of what happens.
Bill: Have you seen Prometheus? (Everyone laughs)
Laura (Lexicon): You talk a little about the CGI and all that is happening. These vampires have different powers. We saw some of that in the trailer. We could see what they were doing with Benjamin, with water, and if you could just pause it right, you kinda got what was going on with Alec. That was a tough break. Thank you four times, for achieving this. So how do you argue with the actors, I mean, obviously they read and this is what his powers were. Have you discussed with them, 'this is kind of how we think it will be'?How you went about it?
Bill: No, with each of them, Rami Malek for example, it was very, it came with all these variations on where the power comes from. It is from here, is from there? [Points to the forearm, then to the wrists and fingers] Do you know how your physical movements cause these huge, you know, basically control the elements. How could he do this. He does. He has, like, three great scenes, three different big things he does. He was wonderful, the way he internalized it. It means that you can not see it because it is showing in the first scene, but in others it has an incredible pleasure in what he can do. So, um, yeah, I think um, Cameron [Cameron Bright, who plays Alec] was waiting a long time to show what he can do. So he was totally into it. He is like a vampire "gangsta". (Everyone laughs).
Nikki: The first looks and seems so final. This looks very new and clean and contemporary. And just from what we saw, a little different. What is the thinking behind that?
Bill: You know, it's funny, because we have to, like, early on, to become unreal, I thought it was probably a mistake, but when I got involved, I thought this movie should be in 3D. Why are we going through Bella. We always hear what they do when they hunt and what they do when they get home and see how it is at night, being able to see so clearly, but never experienced. Now we can. Thus, although we have not done that way, you can see how, even if the recording is over the shoulder, which is filmed with high quality camera [the scene of Bella running through the woods at high speed during his first hunt]. So the first thing is not in the movie. Having this super clarity of what happens on your point of view. So yes, he has, I have to say, you know, ultimately, they will be a movie. And it will be an interesting thing, I do not really looked at it that way yet. Actually, we're just starting to put it together.
(Frantic gesticulations begin among executives in the room. Someone mutters to Bill, "I do not think this information was out yet." Most conversation, someone "might well have imagined that someone would do this at some point.")
Laura: We have not heard anything
(Laughs)
Bill: But this, this is really, he has a different feel, no doubt.
Sheila: Do you feel that kind of changed his vision from the first to the second, because it looks very different.
Bill: No. I think it was because obviously we filmed at the same time. It was always meant to have a different feel. You know it's all informed by Bella, you know it's always Bella. First film, are intimate experiences of Bella, you know with all these incredibly important moments in your life. And then, this film is a great idea, the vampire mother. And I think it becomes a warrior. But their journey is all about. And that kind of being told everything.
