Taylor Lautner wants comedy with Twilight stars

Twilight is the vampire film that cashed in big on the science fiction trend in Hollywood. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz all became household names as a result of this 2008 fantasy film. Stephenie Meyers is the author of the popular novels from which the movies are based. In this installment, a young girl named Bella (Stewart) is sent to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzling Edward Cullen (Pattinson), whose unlike any boy she's ever met. The two are swept up in a passionate romance, though it's quickly threatened when the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies come to Forks looking for Bella.

Taylor Lautner wants to do a comedy with his 'Twilight' co-stars.

The hunky actor has loved working with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on the much-loved vampire franchise, but thinks if they did work together in the future it would have to be in a completely different genre of movie.

Speaking on the black carpet at the premiere of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' in Los Angeles, Taylor said: "If I did a film again with them, I'd like to do a comedy. A super, super funny movie. I think they're funny, especially when they're together. Our relationships together are quite hilarious so it would be a funny movie, definitely."


Taylor - who has starred in thriller 'Abduction' since completing filming on the series - admits the one thing he will miss the most is the fans.

He said: "The obvious thing to think of is all these fans, them showing up again and again.

"Last year when they came out, they camped out for days. I thought, 'That's amazing. There's no way they'll do it next year.' Sure enough, they did it. It's unbelievable."

Breaking dawn takes 181 million

The fourth and final novel in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Divided into three parts, the first and third sections are written from Bella Swan's perspective and the second is written from the perspective of Jacob Black. In Breaking Dawn Part 1, Quileute and the Volturi close in on expecting parents Edward and Bella, whose unborn child poses different threats to the wolf pack and vampire coven.

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1' has taken £181 million globally on its opening weekend.

The fourth instalment in the popular film franchise - which tells the story of vampire Edward Cullen and his human love Bella Swan - more than doubled its £70 million budget and took in £46 million on its Friday (18.11.11) opening.

Even bosses at distributors Summit admitted they were shocked with the popularity of the franchise - which stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart at Edward and Bella - with Richie Fay, head of distribution, remarking: "I'm 53 years old, and I haven't figured it out yet. It relates really to young girls and things that are important to them, their romantic ideas of love and relationships, without getting so physical, at least on screen, that it becomes a worry for their parents."

The takings in the US mean 'Breaking Dawn Part 1' recorded the fifth best opening weekend of all time, as well as the third best-ever single day for Friday.

'Breaking Dawn Part 2', the final film in the franchise will be released next year and director Bill Condon has described it as "epic".

He said: "['Breaking Dawn - Part 1'] is a very, very emotional, romantic story in the first half that gets dark and has elements of a horror movie in it.

"The second one: It is truly the meeting of the vampires from around the world, so it has a really kind of global feeling."

 

BREAKING DAWN Early Reviews: Bella/Edward Sexless Honeymoon Lame and Disappointing

pregnant  Breaking DawnBill Condon's BREAKING DAWN Gets Strongly Panned: Early Reviews

Below are three  review snippets — all pans — from major trade publications. After reading
Todd McCarthy's take on the film in The Hollywood Reporter (see below), I believe it's clear that there'll be a Special R-rated version of Breaking Dawn on DVD/Blu-ray. According to McCarthy's description of the honeymoon, director Bill Condon and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg may have wanted moviegoers to believe that babies are delivered — or at least genetically engineered — by storks. (Hence, all the feathers in the bedroom on Isle Esme?)

Summit Entertainment, which hasn't been at all lucky outside the Twilight Saga realm (e.g., The Beaver, Source Code, 50/50, Drive Angry, The Three Musketeers), gotta make a living, you know? It's like 20th Century Fox releasing and rereleasing 's Avatar on 2D, 3D, 4D DVD. But wait a sec, didn't Rosenberg and Condon promise there would be rocket-blasting sex scenes in Breaking Dawn? Jeez…
