‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ director calls Kristen Stewart 'incredibly smart and committed'

Kristen Stewart’s “Twilight” director Bill Condon loved working with her, and he has praised her acting skills. In his recent interview with a fashion magazine, Condon talks about making of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” series and also, what makes Stewart a fine actress.

“I’d been a fan of Kristen’s before “Breaking Dawn” and I loved working with her,” Condon told Julie Miller of Vanity Fair magazine. “She’s incredibly smart and committed, she played such a range of emotions across a single film, from wedding jitters to death throes to vampire orgasm - I mean, if you can pull that off, you can do anything.”

Condon, who previously worked on movies like “Gods and Monsters,” was quite excited when he was asked to helm “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.” The interviewer asked Condon if there are any lasting effects of directing a “Twilight” series movie . “Non-fans will never let me forget them, ever, ever,” he said. The movie was released almost three years ago.

The director is happy that he was given a chance to direct the vampire-themed movie as it gave him a chance to channel his “love of classic horror films into this massive pop phenomenon.” Condon also revealed that the final scene of “The Breaking Dawn, Part 1” was inspired by one of his favorite movies, James Whale’s “Bride of Frankenstein.”

For Condon, the death and rebirth of Stewart's character, Bella Swan, in the movie is of great significance as it acts as a turning point for Robert Pattinson's character, Edward. In the movie, Edward turns Bella into a vampire, just like him, to save her life. “It was something that I felt reflected my lifelong love of the macabre,” Condon added. The director also reminisced about having fun while shooting “a huge wedding cake made of bloody corpses,” adding that he is glad he was allowed to do that scene.
