According to Rob, there was this ultra-sexy interlude did exist somewhere on film before getting cut down into more age-appropriate territory: “There’s a version where it was really intense.”
We have just three words in response to this: DVD special feature. (Please and thank you.) And for those still trying to trace the timeline on Rob and Kristen’s rumored involvement in an off-screen relationship, this little tidbit from their interview might tell us something:
Kristen said, “Cinematically, cut all together, it’s awesome. But we didn’t really do that scene. ”
Rob added, “And when we did, they kept telling us to stop.”
Why? He doesn’t say, but we’re guessing it’s because they were making out like wild bandits.
The PG-13 rating also limited things with regard to the climactic birth scene, which takes place at the end of the film. “That’s what I’m really disappointed about — and I’ve talked about it with Bill,” says Stewart. “It was more sympathetic or something when I played the scene with less energy, and it made it easier for him to tell the story. But in the book, Bella is screaming, ‘NOOOOO!’ [Stewart stands and demonstrates.] And I did it like that — crazy and Exorcist-like. I was going for this weird mix of turning into the most feral mother you can imagine and also fighting for my own life. I mean, I was a nutcase. I was an absolute nutcase.”
“I do still love the birth scene,” says Lautner. “I know it’s frustrating that some things aren’t in there.”
