Male Twi-Hard Reviews the 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' DVD
That's a long way of saying I was looking forward to Condon's commentary, because he got short-changed during his panel discussion at the Twilight Convention, when he was onstage with KStew, RPattz and Lautner. And the native New Yorker doesn't disappoint.
Right out of the gate, he talks about how the film didn't originally begin with Jacob receiving the invite to Bella and Edward's wedding and running angrily off into the pouring rain. The first scene was Aro receiving the invitation, right after the Volturi have massacred 50 people. It was supposed to remind the audience of the looming threat of the vampire elite, but was cut because Condon felt "Part 1" is more about Bella's struggle inside than the outside threats. Luckily, Condon also says that scene will show up on an extended cut at some point.
