5 Scenes From the 'Breaking Dawn' Book We Better See in the Movie

on November 17, 2011 at 4:54 PM

edward bella As anyone who's ever watched one of their favorite books make the transformation from page to screen knows, some of those amazing literary details are bound to get lost in translation. And you've got to feel for the makers of Breaking Dawn.

Think about it: In their attempts to be as faithful as possible to Stephenie Meyer's original text, they split one book into two movies!

Even so, I'm sure at least a few key scenes didn't make the cut.

I'm just hoping it wasn't any of THESE!!

Edward removes Bella's garter with his teeth: I'm looking forward to seeing this part of the wedding more than the actual vows!
Jacob's decision to form his own pack: Taylor Lautner NEEDS this scene -- it's Jacob's manliest Breaking Dawn moment!
Bella's back breaks: Of course the entire birth scene is going to be huge, but I wonder how they'll demonstrate the extent of damage to Bella's spine?
Jacob imprints on Renesmee: Okay, I don't see how they could possibly leave this one out, but I also have no idea exactly how they're going to pull it off. Even the description in the book is somewhat vague. (Maybe that's a good thing!)
Bella's first hunt: Kristen Stewart takes on a mountain lion! Again, I have no idea exactly how they're going to pull this one off, but I can't wait to see them try.

Which scene from Breaking Dawn the book will you miss if it doesn't make it into the movie?

I was really disappointed we didn't get to see Edward and Bella tell Charlie they were getting married. Besides that, I think it stayed pretty true to the book.

They don't show when Bella and Edward tell Charlie? That stinks. I want to see the scene where Rosalie bends the metal bowl into a dog bowl for Jacob. I hope the sarcasm between Rose and Jacob really come across, but isn't cheesy. I agree with Roxanne - the first hunt probably won't be until BD 2, but I'm not when imprinting scene will be. I know it's in there because Taylor mentioned it in interviews. If I was directing it, I would end this movie with Bella's eyes opening as a vampire and have a close up on them so we see only her red eyes and nothing else. Save the suspense of seeing her as a vampire for part 2.

I seen the movie last night. It was awesome... I loved the ending of this one. Stinks that we have to wait another year. But none the less, it was great, and some of those scenes did not make the cut, but over all a well done movie, and the next one will be even better, Good job Condon!!!!!
