It’s been — let’s just say —an eventful couple of weeks for Team Twilight. Bella and Edward may find eternal, immortal bliss in Breaking Dawn — Part 2 (out Nov. 16), but costars and (only recently confirmed) couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are having a much harder time since incriminating photographs of Stewart and her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, surfaced late last month. “The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it’s not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that,” Bill Condon tells EW. “Both of these actors gave heart and soul to the Twilight movies, not only during shooting, but also by navigating so graciously the whole life-in-a-fishbowl aspect of the phenomenon. Above all they have always shown great respect for the fans who made these movies such a success. Now it’s time that some of that respect be returned to them.”
But beyond the intense media and public scrutiny into these young actors’ private lives, the turn of events also creates a real challenge for Summit, the studio releasing the film, as it gears up to promote the final installment. In other words: what happens during an international press tour and red carpet premiere when the two top-billed stars may or may not be speaking to each other? Nancy Kirkpatrick, the company’s head of worldwide marketing, tells EW, “While it is studio policy not to comment on the personal lives of actors, Summit is moving full steam ahead.”
In more innocent times (read: a month ago), the Twilight stars sat down for a roundtable interview and talked about the film, the ending of the series, and what they’ve learned from the Twilight experience. Pattinson marvels at Edward’s unflappable ability to stay rational. “It’s strange,” he says with a laugh. “All through the series it’s like, ‘Hey , this guy is trying to be sensible! Let’s think this thing out.’ And everyone is like ‘F— you’”.
Stewart presses him, curious to know what he learned from playing the role. ”Don’t be pragmatic. Be an emotional idiot.”
Of course Breaking Dawn—Part 2 is just one of the season’s anticipated films. Our annual Fall Movie Preview delves into 97 more.

Thank you! I, of course, feel for Rob and Kristen and hope they can work things out in private.
But at the same time, I'm still thrilled to see this cover, to see how beautiful it is and look forward to the story in EW the same as I look forward to Breaking Dawn.
Rob, I love you. You look great as always!!!!!!! Can't wait to see up you on Monday.
The one good thing, I don't need to watch BD, Pt. 2. I never liked the book at all. I am eager to see Rob's forthcoming projects that I am certain will wow us. So excited that next week, we will see Rob and the release of Cosmopolis in the USA.
@lluvthemovies............ I know BD part2 will be a little strange for me to see them been intimate, I feel like I am not going to believe the love they have. Everytime I see the promo for DB 2, when they r touching, I flinch a little.
I think i will see the movie though, just to see and support Rob.
I get the feeling for robs sake u r going to break down and see the movie.
I just went into the site 'Thinking of Rob' and one of the posting was about rob been on the VF best dress list. The ladies from VF was singing our Rob nothing but praise. The most surprising thing was what was said at the end by one of the two ladies.....go listen for your self. Let me know what you think? Just go to THINKING OF ROB and you will see the junket !!!!
Thank you @No name for the information about VF and Rob. I just don't like BD period, it has nothing to do with Rob and Ms. Stewart. I think he has mentioned in previous interviews that BD the story was bizarre. I promise to support Rob on other stuff but not this one, I am certain it will do well, it is Cosmopolis that he will need all our support.
Beautiful pics. Can't wait for Breaking Dawn 2!!
@lluvthemovies.....I understand your reasoning. Your right he does need our help when it comes to Cosmopolis.
Enjoy the VF PIECE....LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK??
Of course there were no signs of trouble, or signs that Kristen might stray. That's because Kristen had no intentions of ever straying of cheating on Rob. It's all Rupert! He is the Master Manipulator in all of this. Having a position of authority over Kristen, he used it to lure her into a compromising situation. He totally took advantage of her vulnerability and naivete and preyed on her innocence.
I'll support Rob in whatever he is working! I agree with @lauralynn in parts...what Kristen did was so wrong, but she wasn't alone in it! But something is OFF with this mess, it's strange that he-who-must-not-be-named was out and about in LA last week wearing his wedding ring and his wife was out and about too with no wedring and then yesterday, the 2 of them were together arounf LA (at a deli). You can check at TMZ. They are two sick bastards seeking for media attention and they got it. A month ago NOBODY knew they existed and today they are news all the time, and they even mind if this is a good press or not. They want spotlight! they make me sick (he-who-mus-NOT-be-named and his wife).
RP-Life is one of the most respectful blogs I've ever seen around the world. Gosh with the world crashing down in Rob's land, these ladies were soooo classy! I admire you girls! Thanks for being Rob's true fans! <3
So beautiful and so sad. I can't look at them thinking it's only Edward and Bella - it will always be Robert und Kristen too - and now it hurts. I feel so sorry for them.
These are wonderful, looking forward to seeing BD2 and supporting Rob and the cast.
This is response to Lauralynn, I have to agree with you, on alot of your points are very valid. Though Kristen is 22 and knows right from wrong. He who shall remain nameless is manipulator and obviously is a womanizer and used his position to lure Kristen in. I'm not trying to make excuses for her behavior, but she is young and very impulsive and its come back to haunte her and hurt Rob in the process. All you can do is pray for them.
Please don't forget this a Rob site, so please keep your 'she who must not be name'
forgiveness to a minimum. I am on this site because i want to talk about Rob not her. I am just sick of hearing her mane right now. We as rob fans are still very trouble by the hurt and humiliation for which she has cause him so please respect our feelings and Robs, for now. Thank you
