Jack Q & A- March 1st, 2013



Question:
Do you know if there will be a Directors Cut of both movies? Or both movies into 1?
Jack’s answer:
It's been discussed, but as of right now there are no plans for it, honestly. One long movie for one long book!

 


Question:
Is it real eggs that were used? each shot of the scene= new eggs?
Jack’s answer:
I presume so, but wasn't there.


Question:
The backpack that Bella uses 4 Renesmee, is that Bella's backpack she used?
Jack’s answer:
Probably not, but I'd have to ask Greg or Bill to be certain and right now they're shooting in Brussels.


Question:
Did Carter, Howard, and Alexandre work together on the Overture, or did Carter work w/ the previous scores alone?
Jack’s answer:
Bill chose the themes, then Carter execcuted them alone. He knows both Shore and Desplat, though - you may remember that both visited Carter at historic Abbey Road Studios in London during the scoring of BD1 - a year before the Overture concept was even thought up!


Question:
Where are the shots of reshoots: the hunt and the battle? Are they in the final cut of the film?
Jack’s answer:
Yes, they are, Alex - all through it. Once everyone has a Blu-ray, I'll show you which shots a few of 'em are. Every shot that they got during that shoot was designed and then used.



Question:
Do you know if Kristen really ate the chicken of the honeymoon scene?
Jack’s answer:
Chicken and eggs, eggs and chicken - I don't know but could ask. It certainly went into her mouth, but I don't if she swallowed it or not, I wasn't there.


Question:
Why does Alice NOT say "even the wives"? boo. "the volturi is coming for us. aro, caius, marcus, the guard. and irina.
Jack’s answer:
There was a line of dialogue that was shot, and stayed in the working cut for many iterations, that said, "They even brought the wives," and then a cut to the women emerging from the trees. I think Eleazar said it. Maybe that will go back into an Extended Edition cut, if they decide to do one for BD2. Again, right now it's not happening.


Question:
Why don't they put on the movie a little bit of Carmen talking w/nessie spanish? Would it be so awesome :')
Jack’s answer:
I don't think they shot any of that. Lo siento. ;) #ericdiazforthewin


Question:
Is there a list of the different countries who use voice actors for dub-overs for the Saga? Actors' lists?
Jack’s answer:
Hmmm, I have no idea where to locate that. Lo siento.


Question:
A #BD2 BTS clip showed Edward training Bella to fight but it was cut from the movie. Will it appear on the DVD?
Jack’s answer:
Again, only in an Extended Edition if the decision is made to make one. If there was one coming, I would say so.


Question:
1) LOVED BDP2, but 2) Alice can't see the wolves...which bring me to my ? How did she see what she saw at the end?
Jack’s answer:
Hmmm, I'd have to ask Mr. Condon.
Update: Stephenie Meyer answered this question on her site- http://stepheniemeyer.com



Question:
How at the end the meadow can be full of flowers as the day before we have 20 cm of snow?
Jack’s answer:
There's an implied time cut before that establishing shot. Also: both digital and silk flowers. This is covered in the amazeballs seven-part doc.


Question:
Do you know why there wasn't any Eclipse scenes in the 'lifting the shield' scene? #sadness #NoLegHitch
Jack’s answer:
Good question, but a Twihard was in charge of assembling that sequence, as you'll see on the documentary


Question:
Jack, do you like BD1 or BD2 better?
Jack’s answer:
Honestly, I see them both as one long epic and hope that we all get that version of the movie some day.


Question:
Did Bill take anything from the set of BD as a keepsake?
Jack’s answer:
No, of course not. ;D He accidentally left his chair back in his hotel room in the Virgin Islands. We do have the clapperboard, though, as you've probably seen.


Question:
Is bill willing to share yet what his favorite scene is in BD2?
Jack’s answer:
Probably the opening waking scene and then the battle.


Question:
If you had a special vampire ability what would it be?
Jack’s answer:
I might be writing a story about that, sans the word "vampire". ;D @erikodom


Question:
How does Bill (or Jack) feel about a lot of the extras making the rounds on YouTube already?
Jack’s answer:
Nothing to be done about that - do you want to go to YouTube everytime you want to watch a 2-hour, 7-part doc?


Question:
When Renesmee jumps into Edward’s arms he whispers to her. What did he whisper and was it an Edward or Rob moment?
Jack’s answer:
Good question, I have no idea.


Question:
Do you know, Turkish Twihards love Twilight so much and I'm a Turkish :)
Jack’s answer:
I do now! :D


Question:
Why was the Fido scene cut and/or will deleted scenes on dvd have commentary with why? Thanks to jack!
Jack’s answer:
The Fido scene was cut because Bill felt that it disturbed the downward spiral of Bella's decline. Not sure about the commentary - I guess we'll both find out at midnight! :D


Question:
What scene was most difficult for bill to figure out how to film it?
Jack’s answer:
The battle by far.


Question:
I've a question from a friend: how was shooting the epic final battle for the actors, the whole cast and creators?
Jack’s answer:
Watch the AWESOME seven-part documentary on the Blu-ray/DVD!!!! It's VERY thorough!


Question:
Jack said he'd tell us y Bill took out of BD1 when Jacob ran from Cullen house trying 2 imprint on random girl
Jack’s answer:
I don't think they ever shot that scene?


Question:
Something about the amazing saga at the 2013 mtv movie awards? Any news?
Jack’s answer:
Well, the first four movies all won BEST MOVIE, didn't they?


Question:
What did Bill think of the nasty razzies?
Jack’s answer:
We all thought they used TWILIGHT in a desperation bid to get attention. How seriously can you take them?


Question:
So are we beyond dreaming to ever hope to have any cast commentary on a future release of BD 1 or 2?
Jack’s answer:
Probably yes. See, I don't lie to you!


Question:
Does Bill rewatch his movies?
Jack’s answer:
Yes, a lot.


Question:
Twilight Saga will live forever, right ? :)
Jack’s answer:
#Forever.
