On Nov. 16th, we're going to be saying goodbye to Bella Swan and Edward Cullen on the big screen for the last time.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 is the fifth and final film in
The Twilight Saga franchise and, after four years of dominating the box office, this new movie is going to bring the series to a close.
Since we're feeling so sentimental about
Breaking Dawn -- Part 2's
upcoming release, we decided to put together a list of the reasons we
can't wait for the film to hit theaters. We would be lying if we said
one of them didn't have something to do with the fact it means we'll see
Robert Pattinson and
Kristen Stewart standing next to one another again.
1. Bella Is A Vampire
Hopefully it's not a spoiler by now to reveal that Bella Swan is officially a vampire by the end of
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1. After four long films, the heroine of
The Twilight Saga
has gotten her eternal life with her beloved Edward Cullen, and they
are finally on an equal playing field. That means she's got superhuman
speed, an appetite for blood and the desire to have lots of crazy
vampire sex. And that's really what we were signed up for this whole
time, right?
2. There Are Many New Characters Introduced
When the
Breaking Dawn novel was released, author
Stephenie Meyer
introduced so many new characters that she needed to add an appendix at
the end of the book for us to keep them straight. We finally get to
meet the whole group of new vampires from around the world in
Breaking Dawn -- Part 2, and we couldn't be more thrilled. We saw Zafrina, Garrett, Charlotte, Amun and the whole rest of the gang teased in the
Part 2 teaser trailer earlier this year, but we're just excited to meet them all in person -- especially
Lee Pace's Garrett, but that could just be because we miss
Pushing Daisies so much.
3. Nice To Meet You, Renesmee
Speaking of new characters, there's one in particular we can't wait
to clock some quality time with: Renesmee. The daughter of Bella and
Edward is one special creature because she is half human and half
vampire. She also is the love interest of Jacob Black (
Taylor Lautner), who we saw imprint on the newborn at the end of
Breaking Dawn -- Part 1.
We still haven't seen Bella find out that her werewolf best friend and
former love interest is the soulmate of her newborn child, and we've
heard that she doesn't take the news very well in
Part 2.
4. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will reunite on the press tour
So sue us, we're suckers for this romance (no pun intended). It was
hard not to get drawn into Robsten's are they/aren't they love story,
which lasted from the first news of their audition make-out session on
Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke's bed until it was revealed that Stewart had cheated on Pattinson with
Snow White and the Huntsman director
Rupert Sanders. The couple will be reunited in public for the first time during the
Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 press tour and, based on the fact they're rumored to be back together, we hope they form a united front when we see them again.
5. The End Of A Saga
It's hard to believe that it's been more than seven years since Meyer first released
Twilight.
During that time, her series of four novels and the subsequent film
adaptations have become a global phenomenon that has changed the way
both young adult books and female-oriented film franchises are
perceived. It will be sad to say goodbye to such a significant part of
our pop culture this November, but Meyer has teased that she'd be open
to writing more books set in the
Twilight world one day (in fact, she already has).
That means there's still a chance we could get more Bella and Edward
down the road, though our fingers are crossed for a Volturi prequel.
It will be hard to say goodbye to
Twilight when Nov. 16 rolls
around, but for now we're just happy to have been a part of such a
massive worldwide phenomenon. We're going to shelf our sadness for now
and focus on how excited we are to catch the spectacle-that-will-be on
the big screen.
So, let the countdown begin!
