Kristen Stewart Would Have Loved to Puke Up Blood

Kristen Stewart spoke with EW about the upcoming two part Breaking Dawn series, the last in the Twilight franchise. Praise Jesus. She says “It was one of the coolest things that I’ve done,” but she also implies that she’d love to do away with the PG-13 rating so the vampire birthing scene would be more graphic.

But filming wasn’t always quite so idyllic. As the stars and director tell EW, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 (in theaters November 18 and November 2012) involved a grueling, globe-trotting shoot, and scenes far darker, bloodier, and more polarizing than any in the franchise so far. If audiences haven’t matured with the Twilight books, they’re about to grow up fast. “We shot everything — whether it’s the lovemaking or the childbirth — as potent and powerful as it can be,” says director Bill Condon, who knew he was working within the constraints of a PG-13 rating. “It will be interesting to see whether there will be people who think it too disturbing for this universe.” For her part, Stewart wishes the movie could have been even truer to the graphic nature of the book — not so much the honeymoon sequence (“It feels like a real love scene, not necessarily vampire-y, which is good”), but the brutal birth of the baby, Renesmee. “It’s funny because when [the PG-13 issue] comes up, everybody thinks it’s all about the sex,” she says. “The birth is really effective, and I’ve heard it really hits you in the face. But what it could have been? It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that’s how it was written in the book.” She sighs: “I would have loved to have been puking up blood.”

I’d love to have seen a more graphic birthing scene too. Something that mimics real life birth mixed with a baby vamp tearing through Kristen Stewart’s vagina and paralyzing her. I mean, I paid $5 for popcorn, I might as well get a show.
