Shame really. I know the books are aimed toward a young adult audience, but Breaking Dawn the book should've been more than what it was in many ways. A rated-R Breaking Dawn would be great, but since the book is watered down from what it could've been and such, I always knew it wouldn't be. Oh well. As long as Condon makes it damn good and serves it justice.
Sex was implyed in the book but not really detailed so PG 13 would be just fine I think. As long as Bill does a GREAT job bringing the book to life in the movie. I will be happy. Replying was the only way I could post a comment for some reason.
i heard in a magizine that breaking dawn will be rated pg-13
I dont think that Breaking Dawn will be rated R!!!! I am olny 14 and i read all af the Twilight books and i didnt think it was bad!!! They didnt say 'what' they were doing in fact but you can draw what 'is' going to happen!!!!! So i dont think that is should be rated R it should be PG-13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's a GREAT idea if they do the movie PG-13 and do a directors cut Rated-R. I really want the last and final movie, aslo my FAVORITE, to go by the book. That I recall not even in the books did they concentrate on the steamy stuff, it kind of felt like me missed a page or something. Overall the movie will be great and PRAYING on 2 films!!!!
I love this guy – he puts things out so bluntly..
I really doubt BD will be rated R, and if it was then I would be screwed, BUT there are some scenes that really may not be suitable for a PG movie (I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes), so maybe they will cut some things down? I mean obviously they are gonna have to, but like some of the bloody/strong scenes, but you can still catch the storyline… IDK but yeah it won't be rated R or otherwise the thenomen would be killed!
=)
thank you it should NOT be rated R he has very good points
i hope they dont make it rated r because im only 11 nd i love twilight nd all the movies nd books PLEASE DONT MAKE IT RATED R!!!!!!!!! i must see all the movies nd i will NOT WAIT 4 IT TO B ON D.V.D
i am also 11 my mom will barely allow me to see eclipse and won't even allow me to read breaking dawn ( i read it anyway) let alone see it but i still wouldn't want to be rated R
yeah my mom won't let me read breaking dawn because my stupid 20 year sister was just all like "she can't read it it has sex in it " even though i was the one who bought all the books.
IT SHOULDN'T BE RATED R !!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. not 11 sorry im 12.
haha 1 year older than ya
i so agree im only 14 but the twiligth saga is like my life. i totally agree with this dude, if they make breaking dawn rated R they are losing half the audience which mens losing half the money. i mean didn't new moon make like 42 million opening night? yeah, i don't think that anyone of them would be stupid enuf to rate this movie R.
p.s. inbetweener means i can't decide betweem team jacob or team edward. they're both just so great and incredibly fiiiine! =)
sorry but pg or pg 13 isnt gonna happen, it will have to be 14a at least, sex scenes are a must in this movie, as well as for Emmets sexual inudenos, chapters "Isle Esme" and "Surprise" are ones that have major sex scene potential in them, and well it has to be somewhat portrayed!!, as well as scenes with renesmee being born, im 21, and i honestly think 11 and 12yr olds shouldnt read the books :S be it that a movie like breaking dawn may most likely have sex scenes in them!, 14A is the highest rating i'll give it, R would be amazing , but alas lol us older fans can only hope!
HI, Im 11 but my mom says I am mature enough to read them. Some kids really should be able to see it. The sex scenes aren't in detail- if you recall the first sex scene is at night. You will see Edward walk outside it will be dark, you will see them there together it will be dark, they wake up in a feathered room. 11 YEAR OLDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
okay, so you think 11 and 12 year olds shouldnt have the privilage. But how about 14, 15, 16 year olds? They deserve the privilage. so if you dont want them to see it, fine. but how about the other MILLIONS of viewers Summit would be losing? they're not stupid. most people will see this movie several times. so if its restricted to adults, they're going to lose MILLIONS of views and dollars. Also people, STEPHANIE MEYER IS A MORMAN! they're not gonna make a movie out of her book that she can't see. Duh people. And have you seen some PG-13 movies? some are almost worse than R rated. and Emmetts inuendos won't be left out if it's PG 13. almost every PG13 movie has sex scenes. pretty steamy ones too. and not tasteless like some R rated ones. Rob and Kristen don't need to have their junk filling up the screne.

I think that im ok if its PG-13 or R rated but i still think that it is not sutable for children or young teenagers. i have seen 4th graders reading the books and i think it is wrong for them to be exposed to those things
okay lady trying to be polite here but your nuts. im 14 and my parents are strict as poop but they let me read the books and my mom's mom(whom i call nana) is totally kewl with it to and she is just as bad as my mom.(thats where my mom gets it from) they have read the books and nana has brought me two see the first two movies for my birthday(though it's in january) and eclipse will be an extremely early birthday gift i think she's about as excitted as i am. so stick that in your juice box and suck it! ha ha
I would like to point out that yes they do have sex in breaking dawn but they are not graphic, in fact they arnt really in the books at all they are implied so the movies could get away with not putting graphic sex secens in the movie and just imply them like that books did and still be true to the books.
I agree with you 100 percent
people freak out if the movie's not like the book. making steamy tasteless scenes wouldn't even be like the book.
Shame really. I know the books are aimed toward a young adult audience, but Breaking Dawn the book should've been more than what it was in many ways. A rated-R Breaking Dawn would be great, but since the book is watered down from what it could've been and such, I always knew it wouldn't be. Oh well. As long as Condon makes it damn good and serves it justice.
The sex scene will be just like they did in the 50's. Couple kisses. Light turns off. Couple (in this case) wakes up in feather-mottled room. Lots and lots of this film will be implied scenes. Summit isn't stupid. They're making their $$$ off girls 16 and under. Why alienate that audience w/ an R-rating. It's not gonna happen. (That being said: A Director's Cut would be brilliant! I'd love to have the choice of seeing it both ways.)
I firmly believe that the films should stay as true to the novels as possible, except in one case, that case being the first night on Isle Esme, which (for understood reasons) was the only time I felt the book left out to much.
I would love for a PG13 theatrical cut with a RatedR directors cut version on the DVD, and I believe this is a great idea because it allows all audience members to see the film but also allows those of us, myself included, who (sue me) want to see as much of that scene as possible! to do so
I recon it wouldn't be too hard to do a pg13 Breaking Dawn given all the right camera angles and lighting…most of the sex scenes begin, cut away, then come back in the morning etc in the book anyway. I don't think they're gonna do a totally 100% accurate birthing scene though…cause that'd be pretty hard to do and keep it pg13…Ed would be like "Hey Jake, switch off the lights on your way in ok" LOL
We do not need it to be rated R to make it good. It is good to use your imagination as some events will be mention and not shown. I think it will be great if the make two movies, this way they give themselves a chance to show more of what happens in the book. I know it will be hard to make everybody happy, but I hope this director does eveything he can to make the majority happy. Now I can wait to see the movies. I will be great as I did with the books, be able to watch all the movies in a row as a marathon
Lol I really love how all the people under 14 want it PG-13, lol. Only reason I wouldn't mind it being rated-R is because the birth scene could be pretty gory, however I know they won't show that. It's not about the sex scenes, we already know they do it. I'm just saying they could do more in a rated-R movie. However I know it'd never be rated-R because of how young a lot of the fans are, just look at the comments above.
I also agree about a director's cut that a few people mentioned above. Not a bad idea for some that think it'd be better.
And I agree with Tama Perez, honestly. To this day I believe that Stephenie shouldn't have wrote for such a younger audience but instead for mainly 16-20 and obviously above, but of course if there are hot guys 11 year old's will fucking LOVE it -eye roll-
u can see rated R with a parent if ur under 17!!!!
but then it depends on the parent's will, and the teen could onlly go when the parents schedule is free. which means opening weekend and total sales would basically, SUCK!
I'm glad they aren't gonna be rating it R cuz then well. . . good luck for me 2 c it!!
Anyways how are they gonna squeeze the three parts into one movie? Its gonna hav 2 b quite long then. . .
it might be a 2 part movie (:
I agree
and same i cant wait ♥
i think the should be 2 cuts 1 for the younger eyes and one for us older fans, i dont think it will be fare to do 1 or the other group other wise, besides there as many if not more of the older fans, and this story finishes on a more adult theam,
okay i don't know what that would solve. i mean i pretty sure i wouldn't be the only teen seeing BOTH the movies rated R or not
PG-13 means with parents guidance and consent. If a parent allows their child to read the books, then why not allow them to see the movie with guidance. I totally agree with Caleb. I love his comments on the matter. I'm 60+ and I see a beautiful love story between a vampire and a human (making it a fantasy) which creates a wonderful ideal of abstaining until marriage.
Stephanie Meyer is a Mormon. They do not watch rated R films nor do they drink or say any words that a five year old should not say. I don't believe she would have Breaking Dawn be a rated R film, not that she's directing it. It's her baby
they should make it pg-13 and then when it comes out in dvd,they should have the "sex scenes" and all thatt
PG 13 movies do have sex scenes
As long as they stay true to the book it will be great. Not like it would show any rude parts, doesnt even say it in the book. What is the big deal?? you see more on video clips these days!
Plus I think there is more people over 20 who have read/enjoy/into Twilight then there are teens.
Would be great to have it into two films.
are you stupid? at least 70% of the audience is under 20. sorry sweetie, you're so wrong.
are you stupid? at least 70% of the audience is under 20. sorry sweetie, you're so wrong.
Of course she wont, although isnt she producing/co-producing?
She's co-producing, which means that she has even more control over certain aspects of the film than if she were just the novelist. Interesting that she didn't co-produce any of the first three films, isn't it.
hahahah word, although I wouldn't mind an R-rated BD myself but yeah, lol
R would mean 18 in the UK, where as i said earlier it should at least be a 14A, which is more or less a 15 in the UK, and its more then PG-13 which is 12A in the UK lol, and such , it Breaking Dawn was to be rated 15 it would be waaay better, then again a directors cut rated 18 would be awesome for us fans that are 18 and older !
I think this policy is really stupid…of course it depends on the director`s view…he may want to change a few things here and there but i doubt he would change THAT much…i read the book eons of times and there isn't a scene/paragraph that could "show" too much…anyway I'm really lookig forward to the big premiere of ECLIPSE now…
totally i agree to .
can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of Stephenie's conditions for making the films was that they stay a PG-13 rating. So I highly doubt that it will be rated R.
I don't care how it's rated as long as everything translates from the books to the film.
The Isle Esme scene has to be as good as the book and not hints of what happend. The birth of Renesmee has to be true to the bood word for word. This my favourite book of them all. It has to show the amazing release of love between Edward & Bella. I would really hate it if Condon reuins it for the fans. THIS HAS TO BE THE CLIMAX TO THE SAGA!
i compleatly agree with you the condom would ruin everything!!!!!!!!
EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did you read the books? Isle Esme was hinted at what happened! it was a fade to black….. then the morning after type thing
what does rated 'R' mean? what does it mean in the U.K is it different here?
I think if they don't do some of the scenes WHICH THEY DID TALK ABOUT AND DETAIL THE PASSION FELT that it will just be as bad as the first 2- come on, we all read the books and those scenes are important especially isle esme and surprise! the birthing scene will have to be toned down but if vampire diaries can do an intimate scene as in the episode turning point that was pretty sexy so could BD do some kind of that scene. elena was pretty scantilu dressed–let's hope this movie will be better and let's see some passion and REAL emotion between E/B coz it hasn't been there.
the first 2 aren't bad.
twilight and new moon are the best.
if you don't like them then why are you a fan?
haha really. why is that chick on this site and thinking she's a fan?
making it R would make me want to watch the movie even less
I agree with Autumn and I'm 65yrs old. At last a movie that has respect for abstaining until marriage. Plus teaches the love for classical music. PG13 would be the perfect rating. Also the birth scene would not need to be so graphical. I remember when movies where rated by the color of the blood. Just don't put too much red food coloring in the Karro and do what is done on "the practice or Grays Anatomy"
it's Grey's Anatomy not grays anatomy
hhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
okay people that want BD to be R-rated: the book itself does not show any description of what went down during Bella and Edward's wedding night. so making it rated R is pointless. and the birth? please, i've seen worse movies that show blood and gore and are only PG-13 (the same goes for the sex scenes). the twilight series were made for teens and even moms, not little twelve year old girls gaga over justin bieber, hannah montana, and the jobros. if they can't handle it, they shouldn't see it. but making it rated R is a joke, honestly.
haha dont care what they rate it, its not going to stop me or probably anyone else from getting what we want, which is most defiantly watching BREAKING DAWN!!!
Coming from a Twilight mom,
I totally agree that it does not need to be rated R.
Breaking Dawn does have Isle Esme but Stephanie very tastfully gave us that portion. In my opinion, compared to the sexual tension that was in the other books, mainly Eclipse, Breaking Dawn was alot tamer actually. The love scenes were illuded to but not described in the book making it very easy to portray it very well in a PG 13 movie.
I highly doubt Breaking Dawn will be Rated R. Summit is way too smart to block out their biggest money maker fans(teens) by making the movie unavailable for them to see when it first comes out. Also, the "sex scenes" everyone is talking about aren't really there; they are merely implied. Leaving the rest of the scene up to viewers. It would be great if they released a directors cut on the dvd, full of the scenes that couldn't make it in PG 13 rating. I'm hoping for that, but they wouldn't change it for the theatrical version.
it better not be rated R !!!!!!!!!!
if it is rated R im going to make my sister take me to the 2 movies of breaking dawn !!!!!
and im not going to freaking wait for them to come out then the stupid''kacheier''
say i need to some id please.
and i am so not waiting 3 years to watch one of my favorite series of all times
SO STEPHANIE MEYERS DOENT MAKE IT R.
that's suppose to be weather
whether. actually.
dont rate it a R pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the book is just unbelievably awesome without describing everthing to you! you dont need to put graphic sex in it to make it awesome! i am totally in love with everything to do with the twilight saga and as much as i loveeeeeeeee robert pattinson and kristen stewart i have a hard time imaging them doing graphic sex on screen to all the young fans out there. it wouldnt stop me going to see the movie anyway and i think i may even make a protest outside my local cinema if they dont let me in as i am only 14!
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee twilight!!!!!!!!!!
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!!
she won't make it R and crush the little 12 year olds.
and i don't want to listen to my 12 year old sister winning telling me "let me go see it with you" and all that crap.
reading all of these comments on here that girls are eleven makes me snicker to myself a little. lol. I feel like bd is not for you. haha and bd should have more intense scenes on the dvd which one can choose to buy. But yeah pg13.

Come on, the tweens have the dolls and the merchandise. They really should have their own version. Sure I love the books they do not have to be rated R but I know if they cater to the tweens a lot of important stuff will be left out! As an adult I love the romance and a whole lot of the intensity that was in the book has been left off screen. I really hope BD will do a better job. I don't need R but desperate love calls for strong emotional content that will not be appropriate for tweens! Lets stop watering down content! One reason why as an adult I love these books is because
the romance is intense without being offensive. Summit stick to the book and here's
hoping the final movie doesn't disappoint! You mom's should take your children back to Disney! Summit the tweens don't have the cash , we do. I own the books and the DVD's and when the final BD is done I will buy all the DVD's again so that I have a new and unused set. Also I have sen the movies more times than I can count. Counting down the days in NY!
So far, the movies have not watered down anything. They have stuck to the book very closely. For your hoping of Rated R content, and Summit sticking to the book, then it will fade to black, because thats how it was written. And she had a purpose, she knew that teens would be reading it, also, she's Mormon, and frankly isnt allowing herself to go that far.
yeah its deffinitly not going to matter if its R or not im still going to see it weater they like it or not.
I would love them to make it rated R because even though I'm 13 I can still get into the movie because all u need is an adults concent.Im highly advanced for my age and I understand some logical events more then people that are twice my age.If they don't make Breaking Dawn rated R then its going to suck becuase half of the scenes don't fit into a PG-13 category!I'm not just talking about the sex scenes,I'm also talking about Renesmee's birth scene!That scene is too complex and gory to make PG-13 considering she gets her stomach ripped open and you might as well dump a bath tub full of blood on her because its one of the bloodiest things in the whole saga! If they make it a PG-13 movie then they are going to have to make some major changes and that will ruin the whole movie for the people who have read the books like me!
Wow, brag much? You're an annoying person just from one comment.
"That scene is too complex and gory to make PG-13 considering she gets her stomach ripped open and you might as well dump a bath tub full of blood on her because its one of the bloodiest things in the whole saga!"
If you're so smart, then why do you have such a large run-on sentence? Exactly.
lmao, i agree with you there. Also, she may be able to get in with her parents permission, but others may not.
Wow, brag much? You're an annoying person just from one comment.
two thumbs up. i really hope it's not rated 'R'. im 13 and hace only seen like 4 rated 'R' movies. but tons of PG-13…… sooo i seriously hope it's just Pg-13. but PG would be waaaayyyyyy too boring!! but either way, im GOING to see it!!!!
I know it's not going to be rated "R" because the parents of younger children will not permit them to see it even though we know they would sneak in. I would like to see a director's cut video. Let's face it a good portion of the book involving the honeymoon, pregnancy and birth sequences are graphic and something would seem like it's missing if too much of it is cut out. I hope they just do one movie and make it a little longer if needed. Fans will sit thru it. But they probably want to make the extra box office dollars by amking it two.

ty considering the fact that me and my 7 year old daughter are into twilight and watched all of the movies so far and can't wait to see eclipse i would hate to have to wait for the dvd to see it and fast forwarded through parts of the movie that i feel see should not see. now as for violence and gore i am ok whit her watching because i watched alot of horror movies as a kid. as for the love seens that were in the book which she has not read any i feel if the movie is made raided r due to that it would be hard for even me to watch the movie for i have 4 kids and no time to sit and watch a movie alone lol so pg 13 is the best call and as for your comint on true blood i would never in my life allow my children to watch it and i feel it should be rated x not r or what ever it is rated. and i feel as you her religion should be respected since she is the reason the movie is even allowed to be maid ty for the post of this vid
To hell with it. I'm 27 and I WANT BD to be Rated R. Give us adult fans what we REALLY want. I can't tell you the disappointment I encountered the 1st time I read Isle Esme in BD and black… Nothing happens. Are you kidding me????? My coworkers are Twihards like myself and I cannot tell you how disappointed we were when we read it. Give us the passion that we really want. You feel their tension through out all the books and when it comes to the love making, we get zero! Nada! Not a darned thing. I know most will be upset to read this, but this is MY opinion and not the worlds. Good for those who's little one's share the same Twilight passion, but be serious. Even if it were PG-13, would you really let them watch it??? Hello! The honeymoon and the birthing scene are very good and require some serious passion and graphic shots. I'm still all for 2 films, not one! No 3D! And making it rated R. If you really want to please EVERYONE, then make it 2 versions: Director's Cut and Theatrical Version.
Stephanie wrote the books for a more teen based audience, which is why in books stores, all four books are in the section with other teenage books. She had a reason for the fading black effect, she knew that smaller children would be reading it! Also, she's Mormon, and that is completely out of her reaching. Going that far would be too much. If youre looking for that type of stuff, try the adult section. I'm not trying to be rude but thats how it is.
If they are to stick true to the book it couldn't possibly be rated r…there is nothing implicit in the books, even the feather scene could easily be incorporated into a PG-13 movie based on the shots, as could the headboard scene. There is absolutely no reason for them to take a book that is SPECIFICALLY NOT R rated and make it such.
To make Breaking Dawn R rated would be disrespecting both Stephanie Meyer and the books. As others have said Twilight was created as a teen series, it was not created as an adult series nor was it graphic or explicit. Anything outside of kissing, even if passionate kissing, was implied not detailed. So to write into the movie scenes that get graphic/implicit would just be ridiculous….yes we all (ok maybe not all but you get my drift) love Rob, but there is absolutely no reason everything in todays world has to be about explicit sex scenes.
The Twilight saga has been a refreshing break from all that crap, and I hope it will continue to be so.
It better not be rated r. if it is than tons of my friends and myself cant go watch it.
well im 11 years old and i would not want breaking dawn to be rated r because its not fair to the kids like my age to wait till the movie comes out on dvd.I watched twilight and twilight new moon this year can u believe that?AT least for the people like my age it should be pg13.If it's pg 13 at least the 18 years olds and above can watch it,but if its rated r only the 18 year olds and above can watch it's fair because more people can watch and the people that love twilight like me can watch it.So i would say it should be pg 13 and im on edwards side.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo I LUV VAMPIRES LOL!!!!!!!!!
Very useful info. Thanks
heyy nice stuff you share here.keep them comm
Here you are!
Thanks a lot for this post
You have a few helpful ideas! Perhaps I should think of trying to do this myself. Respectfully
