ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART star in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN-PART 1 Ph: Andrew Cooper © 2011 Summit Entertainment, LLC. All rights reserved.
When it comes to driving a speedboat, Robert Pattinson is not nearly as suave as Edward Cullen. And you might think Kristen Stewart is no dummy, but she is, at least in some scenes.
That's just some of what we learned from the extras on the "Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part 1" DVD, coming out Saturday:
"I went for a lesson and crashed the practice boat," Pattinson admits, sheepishly, when explaining his prep for his character's honeymoon jaunt with his bride. "And then I went to Brazil and crashed the Brazilian boat, too. I am definitely not nautical."
As a sickly, pregnant Bella, Stewart had to appear to drop from 110 pounds to about 70 pounds. Filmmakers used a combination of digital effects, prosthetic appliances, makeup, lighting and a horribly emaciated, life-size and lifelike doll. "I've always wanted to hang out with myself," Stewart says of her doppelganger.
Say what you will about the talking-wolf scenes — they were even funnier for the actors. Jackson Rathbone, who plays vampire Jasper, explains that he had to wrestle giant beanbags to simulate the CGI critters on the attack. "The hardest part about shooting these scenes," he says, "is not laughing the entire time."
The DVD extras include a six-part making-of documentary, a glimpse into "Jacob's Destiny" for fans on that team, a director commentary and a — sorry to say — cheesy "wedding video."
"Breaking Dawn — Part 2" is set to open Nov. 16.
