Cast Talks Birth Scene, Weddings and 'Thrusting' at 'Breaking Dawn' Press Day
Summit
For Twi-hards, the arrival of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" on November 18 is bittersweet, as it's the first part of the final book in the series written by Stephenie Meyer. But it also marks a point at which circumstances change drastically for everyone involved, and the film's cast and director took care to address that at yesterday's "Breaking Dawn" press conference in Los Angeles.
