Taking the BD Hating To Far?

I was reading the EW artical about BD and was saying that BD will hurt 'Twilight' the movie's chances in the boxoffice and I thought that a bunch of crap
What do ya'll think?

Really it said that?? I read the article and don't remember it saying that. But still, that's pretty harsh.

Just becuase people didn't like the book, I think they're still going to see it. And that's if they even make Breaking Dawn into a movie. Heck, I would see it. It would probably be a little awkward on screen. People who haven't read the books but have seen the movies will be like, "WTF?"

I don't get how a book hurts the box office sales of a different book in the series. It's more that people usually want to see that book come to life. Twilight is an almost completly different story from Breaking Dawn. But I agree with no_virtue_ho's_here. If BD is made into a movie it's going to be R or NC 17.

I think it might have a marginal affect, but I don't think it'll be anything massive. I can't even begin to describe how much I hated BD, but I'm not missing that movie for anything.
I dunno about the BD movie being rated R or NC17. Wasn't one of Stephanie's contractual conditions for Twilight that it be rated PG-13 or lower?

I'm not gonna lie. For like an hour after reading Breaking Dawn, when I was in a very dark place, I seriously considered throwing away all my books, not seeing the movie and just walking away from it all. But then I realized how much I still love the first three books and although my perception of them are a little tainted by BD, I'm still excited to see Twilight come to life on screen. Maybe not as excited as I was before, since BD will probably be in the back of my mind the whole time, but I still wanna go.

I kinda have a feeling that if BD is ever made into a movie, Summit would probably make some big changes. They aren't really obligated to stay perfect to the book so I could see them changing the story a bit to maybe give it a lower rating, like not showing all of the "birthing" just have them talk about it or something? I don't know. I probably wouldn't go see it anyways lol. Just being honest Very Happy

i think if they cut out the whole birthing scene it toally cuts out a lot of Edward and Jacob interaction and it totally leaves how she was changed a mystery.......which is totally not cool

Yeah, I'd imagine they'd take out a lot of things and probably add a lot of different things.. more so than when they usually adapt a movie from a book.
Well, New Moon is supposedly in production now.. which probably means they're planning to do the rest of the books, because it's a series and everything.
I don't think Breaking Dawn will hurt the movies sales at all. The movie is based off the first book, which everyone knows and loves. BD the movie.. might be a different story.
I guess we'll see!

I would still see BD and see how it plays out and I would be over seventeen by then so I could see it even if it was NC17 or R if the movie really sucks I will try to get my money back LOL cause I can not see how they will make this a movie it still scares me that they will stay too loyal to the book OR they may not even make BD and just stop at the third but if they do make BD a movie they said it would have to take 2 movies tho that will be boring ick

There hasn't been any news about rights for new moon being given to summit, right? I know they want to film some scenes in the winter, but that's all the news I remember about New Moon.

I definitely think the BD bashing has gone too far.
When I first read the book, I was on the fence about it. But it's grown on me now that it's been a couple of weeks. I believe Stephenie's comment about the "Rob effect" (people needing time to get over the initial shock of the story twists, then growing to accept and embrace them) is true about the book, at least in my case. And some people really liked BD. My mom just finished reading it...She loved it.

As for the movie, I originally thought that all the backlash BD's been getting would indeed hurt the book, but now I don't think so at all. People adore the "Twilight" book...when BD comes out in film version, there may be a problem. But hopefull after the first three movies, people will still be willing to at least go check out the concluding film. I know I'll go see it.
Which brings me to BD being rated R. I highly doubt it. Stephenie Meyer's did say that all the films had to be PG-13 because she doesn't believe in watching Rated R movies. She's never even seen a rated R movie...I remember her saying how she really wanted to see Titanic, but couldn't becaust it was rated R. I think that's completely...strange. Does she realize she wrote a "rated R" book??? BD definitely has the potential to be rated R with due to the sex scenes and violent birth scene, but that can easily be toned down. The sex doesn't have to be shown (it isn't exactly shown in the book). The nudity doesn't have to be shown...they can do camera angle tricks and such. And all of the pregnancy stuff, I think it can be handled through dialogue and Bella's can just be shown looking ill, maybe with a bruised belly, and all the bone breaking and stuff can be heard with sound effects, but not actually shown.
PG-13 movies get away with a lot these days, so I'm sure BD will have no problem being PG-13.
