Hit Fix intervju med Bill Condon

Posted by: on: oktober 29 2011 • Categorized in: Bill Condon,Breaking Dawn: filmerna,Intevjuer

Hit Fix intervjuade nyligen Bill Condon om The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, läs ett utdrag nedan!

Congratulations on finishing ‘Breaking Dawn, pt. 1′ Do you consider this the halfway mark?

Oh, easily, more than that because we shot both movies back to back. I’ve got a pretty good cut of the second movie so we’re in the good 3/4 plus mark.  I started this with just outlines, so yeah, almost there.

You see yourself in the homestretch?

Yes.

Most moviegoers and ‘Twilight’ fans wouldn’t realize that you’ve come from working on another movie where there was this hardcore fan base.  On ‘Dreamgirls’ there was lots of pressure to get it ‘just right’ from fans.  Did you take anything away from this before you worked on ‘Breaking Dawn’?

That’s a really interesting question and I suspect it’s part of the appeal of getting involved with this.  When you work on something that does have a huge fan base there is the potential for a lot of pitfalls, but there is this incredible thrill of seeing that kind of movie with an audience. If you somehow connect to their dreams of what this could be were I think there is a special anticipation that you don’t get in an everyday moviegoing experience. I wonder, I hadn’t thought of that before, but that’s probably part of what turned me on about doing this. But, yeah, there is this sort of thing you have over your shoulder of trying to — you can only do it in your own way and your own take of what the material is, but because it means so much to so many people you hope you tap into the collective unconscious and visualize it in a way you might imagine it.  Or sometimes different just as satisfying.

Smygtitt på BD intervju med Bill

Posted by: on: oktober 13 2011 • Categorized in: Bill Condon,Intevjuer

Boxoffice intervjuade nyligen Bill Condon om The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn och nu har vi fått ett litet smakprov på intervjun som ni kan läsa här nedanför. :-)

We interviewed Robert Pattinson a while back and he said the only other director he could imagine handling the blood ofBreaking Dawn was David Cronenberg [The Fly, Naked Lunch].

And then he went to work for him! [In 2012'sCosmopolis] But I know what he means because it is very, very intense in the last part—it’s almost like a horror movie. And he’s certainly delivered the most intense images in the last decade or so. I tried to get my Cronenberg on a little bit and I think within the confines of a PG-13 rating, I think we’ve got something that’s pretty powerful.

Everyone has been saying for years how hard it would be to make Breaking Dawn PG-13. How did you pull it off?

The whole movie is very immersive, kind of like in the book, which is in the point of view of Bella and Jacob [Taylor Lautner]. We tried to do the same thing in the movie—there’s a whole chunk where you get inside the head of a wolf. And in terms of the birth, it was, “Let’s do it from Bella’s point of view. Let’s see whatever she can see.” Once you decide on an approach like that, it’s amazing how powerful you can be without being overly explicit. She gets glimpses of a lot of things—and hears everything—but it’s not the cutaway to teeth clawing through flesh. But you certainly know what’s happening.

Intervju med Bill

Posted by: on: juli 30 2011 • Categorized in: Bill Condon,Intevjuer

Ett flertal Twilight hemsidor, bland annat His Golden Eyes, har tillsammans intervjuat Bill Condon. Ni kan läsa intervjun här nedanför, en väldigt intressant och läsvärd intervju! Varning för spoilers.

Q: About the honeymoon scene, I noticed of course the humor in that. Why did you guys choose to do it that way and how did that decision come about?

Bill: About being funny when she’s getting ready? It just felt like it was human. It was like, again, making everything as real as possible, and it’s like anybody in that moment when it’s like “Oh my God, it’s about to happen”,  it’s one thing it’s gonna happen this night. God, it’s Bella, after all this time. And it’s a vampire, you know? But now is the moment and it’s just about making it as relatable as possible.  Like, what do you do? You just try to control it in any way you possibly can. You know, you brush your teeth for the tenth time and do all those things to make yourself think that you’re ready, which of course you can’t do. And then the way we cut it it was just like a lot of jump cuts to make it like she’s sort of this nervous jangly thing. You know the way Kristen goes? (taps fingers impatiently on table, everyone laughs) that was the rythm of it, you know?  We matched that with the way we presented it.

Q: Have you had experience working with a lot of child actors, and what was it like working with all the Reneesmes?

Bill: Oh, yeah (laughs). That’s for Part 2! I had done a little before, but not as much as now. First, Mackenzie, she’s a 10 year old going on 30. She’s so mature and smart, so that was a pleasure. Sometimes it was hard because the other actresses were  actually just there. It was always going to be just Mackenzie’s expressions and things like that, so it was a very specific technical thing that even I was learning as we did it. But I have to say, they were real troopers these girls.

Q: We had the pleasure of having Stephenie Meyer attached to the films. How was it like working with Stephenie,  going on one-on-one basis? What was it like working with her?

Bill: It was great, I mean, you know her. She’s so down to earth, you know? And she’s so… It’s an interesting thing,  and I don’t know if this happened across time or if this is how she’s always been, but she’s also a movie lover. And she’s really become very knowledgeable about making movies and about what you have to do to kind of, not kill your babies, but sometimes there are things that work so beautifully in description that don’t translate as well cinematically. Like the scene you saw that was not in the book, right? It’s a suggestion in the book but becomes very dramatic in the movie, where once Jacob breaks with Sam, it’s not that Sam is going to attack immediately. He’s going to sit back and wait and close in on them, you know? And they are now stuck in that house, it’s a siege. And they haven’t fed.  So, they’re getting weaker when the wolves are getting stronger and closer. And Jacob has to figure out a way to help them get out. So he does this thing,  and I don’t want to give too much away, but that thing where he says “No, I’ll be the one to take care of it because they trust me”. That is where you’re wondering if that’s true,  is Jacob wavering. It’s another interesting kind of conflict that goes on that creates a better movie.

Q: Was there anything you found particularly challenging?  Was there a scene you thought when you looked at the script “Yes! I’m doing this” and it became really challenging, or something that you were really excited to film?

Bill: I think they’re both sides of the same coin. And the most exciting things, some of them, were the ones that were scarier. I think each movie has them. In this movie it was talking wolves, right? We’re finally doing that. The wolves’ point of view and seeing and capturing how they communicate. That was a scary one. Imprinting was definitely scary, child birth was scary. I would say those were the big three that were big ideas from the book that had to be captured and be made exciting and I think you can easily go down a very wrong path. And I hope we didn’t.

Q: With the birth, like you talked about, it’s a violent birth, and the impending fight with the Volturi, then the honeymoon and the sex scenes. Knowing all those aspects, did you find it hard to balance the boundry between PG-13 and R? Did you sort of go to R and cut back? How did you approach that?

Bill: You know, I think it’s a good challenge because the thing that makes something R is literally showing it and if you give yourself that rule:  I’m not gonna show, it’s not going to be frontal nudity, no one wants that, that is not appropriate here , but they are going to have intense love making scenes. Or we’re not going to,  again, show splattering blood against the walls but it’s gonna be very visceral. It actually becomes a fun challenge to make sure you feel like you have the same experience without having to watch something clinical. I think it makes it better. There are great romantic scenes in PG-13 movies, you know?

Q: One of the questions at the fan panel today was, what was your favorite movie from the saga? How does it feel to have every single cast member say Breaking Dawn?

Bill: Well, first of all, I made a joke by the way when I said Breaking Dawn. And Taylor said that. I think Kristen was careful to say that she loved Twilight. I have great respect for every director that has come before and I think they all did amazing, and amazingly different work. That’s why I was interested in taking it on. Because I can’t think of a series quite like this where it’s the same… I guess you can say Harry Potter, but they seem to stay closer stylistically than these movies have. But you have the source material, and Melissa doing this script, and the cast  in common, the movies feel very different. Anyway, I think, if there was someone to say that I do feel like there’s a slightly unfair advantage that I have with this movie is that so much happens. The middle movies were setting things up. And I think when you’re a writer the hardest part is the second act, and those were second act movies.

Q: How do you feel  about coming in and finishing the series, having  an established fanbase which we know can be fickle. You’re dealing with a lot of females (Bill laughs) starting off there. How does it feel coming in and finishing the two movies? Not just one, but two.

Bill: That’s what made it interesting to do. Not that I was going to do the next one but that I was going to do thelast one. Or, one split into two. Because it is like a chance to kind of… I don’t know… (pause) let me put it, it’s like, I think it’s part of what is special about it. You’re counting on the fact that people would open themselves up to it in a way that maybe as you say, if we were we to do them for the next 20 years it’s like “Eh, I can skip this one”, but I feel like there’s an urgency to do it, that made it another reason to do it.

Q: And I think another part of that, in addition to doing the last one, most fans seem to think that the movies have gotten better progressively throughout the saga, so did you feel extra pressure  knowing that they were having big high expectations for Breaking Dawn?

Bill:  Believe me I felt the pressure (laughs). And I’ve gotten a taste of that already. When we had the teaser , and Tanya’s hair is blonde, and not strawberry blonde,  not your color (points to Amanda from TwilightMoms) there were a lot of people who were upset about that. So there is no question, it is an incredibly loyal but very vocal fanbase, too, so I know I’ll be hearing about those things. But you make choices based on somebody’s face and the way people look together and things like that.

Q: I asked the question this morning at the press conference to Ashley about how her hair has changed so significantly from movie to movie and how did it get to where it is now, and she said you guys were worried that fans might react negatively to another wig and a different cut, hoping that if it was closer to what was in the book fans would be ok with that?

Bill: Given that their hair doesn’t grow, I assume everyone’s going to be like, shaved by the next movie? (laughs) But I feel like these movies exist in time and fashions change even across four or five years, so for her, who has such a strong idea of fashion, especially in this movie where she’s throwing the wedding it represents her sense of the Edwardian wedding that Edward would’ve had, and also we kind of made her reflect on the moments when those people lived. In that we started with her having this sort of flapper look in the wedding, which I think you may have seen a glimpse of it in the trailer. And starting with that it was sort of like, who is the most stylish woman in the world? It’s still Audrey Hepburn. Let’s give her a little bit of Audrey. And if anybody would be re-doing her hair it’s Alice. I feel like that one you can believe. And then others it’s just a question of the many looks of Jackson Rathbone (everyone laughs) what can you say?  I think it looks good.

Q: Actors are often asked about scenes that are emotionally draining. Do you feel that there were certain scenes as a director that you get emotionally drawn into? What scenes in particular in Breaking Dawn that it wasn’t easy to let go of those emotions?

Bill: Well you have to because you’re on to the next one either an hour  later,  or the next day, but man,  absolutely, there were all these things along the way that you just have an adrenaline rush when you finally get there and get through it because so many things could go wrong. Like the childbirth, I keep going back to it, but that was unbelievably intense. Taylor, his heart is pouring out of him, but Rob, you see this where he’s trying to bring her back to life and the anguish of it and the panic of it all, and then Kristen just giving it all. In the way that you’ll see,  all the effort of giving birth but she is the best dead person I’ve ever seen (everyone laughs) and that’s not easy because there were takes that were a minute long and she never blinked, she never seemed to breathe, I don’t know how she did it but that cold area was very intense. And at the end of the shoot in Louisiana we’d been shooting for four months already, kind of tired and everyone is worn down, all of our defenses were down and it was also one of those things where you get there and  you do it, and it lifted everybody up for the rest of the shoot because it just felt like something real had happened. That’s the thing that is great on a set, when you know something real has happened, it’s when thecrew is suddenly incredibly quiet and everyone is paying attention, is sort of like you know it’s happening right in front of you and everyone’s aware of it, you know.

Q: You are obviously  a very experienced director, and the cast goes from everyone like first timers, to people like Kristen and Michael Shen that have been in dozens of films. Is there anything that any of the actors specifically taught you and that you came away with thinking that you didn’t have that information or that knowledge before?

Bill: Oh, God yes, totally. And you know  I’m experienced but still, I’ve been on one half of the sets that Kristen’s been on, or maybe a third, you know what I mean? And don’t even think about Michael  Sheen so yeah,  I mean you’re always learning on movies, absolutely. But specifically here obviously these actors all know their characters so well, but you take somebody like Kristen, she’s going to be directing movies before long.  She just knows everything about the process – everything.  And she just knows “Oh my God, I should lift my eyes up just a quarter of an inch next time” and things like that.  She’s an amazing collaborator where it’s like, and if you explain “Ok this feels a little unnatural but it’s worth it to do” I get it. But we would do a lot of sitting around talking about the script for weeks. And she would get ideas, I’m not saying only her,  but she would a lot, and “Oh, that’s a great idea”. So yeah, all the time.

Q: One of the most insane places for Twilight, one of the most passionate places in the world for Twilight, is Brazil, how did you handle filming there with so many fans who are different from fans in America, who are very passionate…?

Bill: But respectful. It was very interesting. You know Rob told that story when we were shooting  (laughs) but it was truly like everyone was in the street having a party and then suddenly one girl was like all over him (mimics arms across Rob’s neck, Rob’s surprised expression). And I think she was beheaded (everyone laughs)  because I did ask like two hours later “What happened to her?” and everyone was like “I don’t know!”(laughs).

Q: Are you planning anything special for Brazil?

Bill: I hope so, definitely. I want to go back for the film festival there. I don’t know if this year or next year. But we should definitely because it’s really an important part of this movie. And it was great, I had a great time there.

Presskonferens med Bill Condon

Posted by: on: november 9 2010 • Categorized in: Bill Condon,Breaking Dawn: filmerna

Igår så höll The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn‘s regissör Bill Condon en presskonferens i Rio, Brasilien. Här nedan så kan ni läsa en en sammanfattning av presskonferensen.

In a rush for the filming of Dawn, the fourth film in the Twilight Saga, director Bill Condon gave a press conference on the afternoon of Monday (8) at Cine Roxy in Copacabana, south of Rio de Janeiro.

The director told R7 actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are enjoying the affection of fans.

- Both me and they’re enjoying the affection of fans. Incidentally, I want to say it to them (Rio). We are enjoying the warmth of the crowd and the city.

The director said the choice of the city as a location was stimulated by Rio Films, co-producer of Dawn, who decided to include the state capital in the script of the story.

- Rio is a very vibrant place, so we decided that the city would come in the film. We wanted this vibration was evident at Dawn. We did a scene in Lapa Edward [Pattinson] and Bella [Kristen] to show the real side of carioca culture.

Condon also said that the aim of production was less stereotyped find places on the screens. Therefore, there was the option for the island and Lapa bag Mamanguá in Paraty, on the southern coast of Rio, where the team should follow today.

The producer, Wyck Godfrey, revealed that filming with the actors in the river have been closed. Sergio Sa Leitao, president of River Films, added that the staff of Sunrise should be back to Rio just to make aerial images of the city.

Asked if the couple had time to know the city, the director said the entire schedule was planned to focus on just shooting.

-The schedule is very tight, but we love what little we have seen and know. I met the bossa nova, for example.

In the interview, the director also took criticism for the star Sylvester Stallone, who shot scenes of The Expendables in Brazil in 2009. The star spoke ill of the city.

- Forget Stallone. We love the city and not get out of here I’m speaking ill of Rio open invitation to attend the 2011 Rio Film Festival and surely will be here.

Rio Films said the film crew will be ten days in Rio de Janeiro – they arrived on Friday (5) – but that will only be five days of filming. The remaining days will be to shift production and equipment.

Är det någon annan än jag som verkligen inte kan förstå att Breaking Dawn har börjat spelas in?!

Idag så fyller ingen mindre än The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn‘s regissör Bill Condon 55 år! Grattis!


Kommer ni ihåg att Twilight’s regissör Catherine Hardwicke fyllde år igår? Då fyllde hon också 55. Hon är alltså bara en dag äldre än Bill.. lite småkul fakta? ;-)

Ännu ett brev från Bill Condon till fansen

Posted by: on: oktober 2 2010 • Categorized in: Bill Condon,Breaking Dawn: filmerna

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn‘s regissör Bill Condon har uppdaterat Twilight‘s officiella facebook med ett ”brev” till oss Twilight fans där han berättar hur det ligger till med Breaking Dawn! :-D

Hello fans!

Has it really been five months (and a day) since my last dispatch?  In my defense, they’ve been five months spent immersed in the world of TWILIGHT – something I’m sure you can all appreciate.  We’re in the thick of pre-production now, juggling everything from casting to storyboarding to location scouting, getting it all ready to go, but I do want to take a moment to announce to you exclusively a few of the amazing production team members who are hard at work alongside me, bringing these movies to life.  I hope you’ll be as excited about them as I am:

Guillermo Navarro, who won an Academy Award for the beautiful PAN’S LABYRINTH, is our cinematographer.  Guillermo and I have been painstakingly planning each shot, with a team of very talented storyboard artists.

Michael Wilkinson, our costume designer, is bringing his brilliant vision to the styles of all your favorite characters.  Michael’s created fantastic looks for 300, WATCHMEN, and the upcoming TRON: LEGACY – just wait ’til you see his take on the vampire witnesses who come to Forks from around the globe.

Jean Black, our makeup designer, has worked extensively with the Coen Brothers and David Fincher, most recently making exquisite, award-winning contributions to THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON.  I’m honored to be working with her.

Richard Sherman, with whom I made GODS AND MONSTERS and KINSEY, is on-board as our production designer.  Richard’s one of my oldest collaborators and a terrific designer, and you may be interested to know that he also happens to be a lifelong vampire aficionado.

Our Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor John Bruno has been responsible for some of the most memorable special effects ever, with his groundbreaking work on display in everything from POLTERGEIST to AVATAR.  He and his team are working intensely to develop solutions to the host of special effects challenges that Stephenie created for us in BREAKING DAWN, including that remarkable kid…

Wonderful, imaginative people all and very exciting, intense times for us.  Even with the months of work we’ve already put in, we’re barely underway on the journey, and I do hope to get back to you much sooner next time with more news.  Until then, thanks for your warm reception and continued support!

Very best regards,

Bill

The Twilight Saga: A note to fans from Bill Condon

Posted by: on: maj 1 2010 • Categorized in: Bill Condon,Breaking Dawn: filmerna

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn‘s regissör Bill Condon postade nyligen det här på facebook. Han hälsar till alla Twilight fans och jag tycker verkligen att det är roligt att han är så engagerad. Det är bra att han läser böckerna, tittar på filmerna, läser böcker utanför serien (Catherine Hardwike’s notebook osv..) och anstränger sig för att göra det hela så bra som möjligt. Jag känner mig väldigt lugn nu med att ha honom som regissör, han känns som ett bra val tycker jag. Texten är definitivt värd att läsa.

Greetings Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland,

I just want to say hello to all of you and let you know that I’m stoked to be getting underway on the adventure of making BREAKING DAWN. As you’ve probably heard, I’ve been given a very warm welcome by Stephenie and Team Summit – who are super-focused, as you know, on getting these movies right.

I’m pretty busy bringing myself up to speed on what you already know by heart: I’ve read BREAKING DAWN twice, rewatched Catherine’s and Chris’s movies 2-3 times each, have all four CDs playing in my car, and have Catherine’s notebook, Mark Cotta Vaz’s companion books, and even Volume 1 of the graphic novel here on my desk – a corner of my office is starting to look like Hot Topic. I realize that this barely qualifies me for ”newborn” status in the universe you’ve been living inside for a few years now, but a guy’s gotta start somewhere.

Like many of you, I’ve always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series DARK SHADOWS, which I followed avidly as a kid. But that alone hadn’t been enough to get me interested in making a vampire movie, even though my early screenwriting and directing efforts grew out of a great love for horror movies and thrillers. Since making GODS AND MONSTERS thirteen years ago, however, I’ve been yearning for a return to a story with Gothic overtones.

The wonderful world that Stephenie has created has obviously struck a chord with you, and I don’t think it’s difficult to see why. For me, her characters are simultaneously timeless, yet very modern. Rooted in a beautiful, real landscape with a great sense of place, Bella, Edward, Jacob, and the rest of the Forks/La Push menagerie, experience emotions that are primal, and universal: desire, despair, jealousy – and it all comes to fruition in BREAKING DAWN. This is a final chapter in the best sense; not just wide in scope and scale, but emotionally charged and intense throughout.

I’m a huge admirer of the already-iconic Kristen, Robert, and Taylor, and wanted to be the one to work with them as they face the challenges of bringing your beloved characters to the end of their journeys. Really, what could be more fun than that?

Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section below, and I’ll do my best to answer them. I hope that this will be the first of many occasions I’ll get to check in with you as we set to work bringing BREAKING DAWN to the screen. I am excited and grateful to have all of you alongside me for my TWILIGHT journey.

All best,

Bill Condon

P.S. Answer #1: No, there won’t be any musical numbers

Nu är bara frågan om det kommer bli en eller två filmer.. men det är bara att vänta och se! Tycker verkligen att det är riktigt bra att Stehenie Meyer är med och producerar filmen! Det är trots allt hon som skrev våra älskade böcker och tycker att det är roligt att hon har större roll i filmen!

BILL CONDON TO DIRECT SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT’S THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN

Los Angeles, CA April 28, 2010 – Summit Entertainment has confirmed that Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg, and will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and Stephenie Meyer will produce the project.

”Bringing Stephenie Meyer’s BREAKING DAWN to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity,” said Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment.

Added author Stephenie Meyer, ”I’m so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he’s going to be a great fit, and I’m excited to see what he does with the material.”

“I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we’re hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,” said Bill Condon.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

Condon is well known for writing and directing DREAMGIRLS, KINSEY, and GODS AND MONSTERS, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1999. He was nominated for a second Oscar for his screenplay for the movie musical CHICAGO in 2003.
