I just got home from the Pre-Premiere of Breaking Dawn – The fourth installment of the Twilight Saga (yeah yeah). Finally, 1,5 years after Eclipse was released – it is here!
And you know who else was here with us today? Elizabeth Reaser aka Esme Cullen. She is in Oslo, Norway for 3 full days promoting the movie. I even got a picture of me with her.
I went to see the movie with my best friend and we were dressed up for a Black Carpet Movie Premiere. Maybe a bit overdone with the fangs and all (since noone wears fangs in the Twilight Saga), but that’s just part of the fun :D
Prior to the midnight screening there was a bridal show, some people won goodie bags, Marion Ravn interviewed Elizabeth and we were shown the movie trailers and movies from fan events while waiting for midnight and the actual movie started.
Marion Ravn and Elizabeth Reaser.

The movie was great. Bill Condon has done a great job. Unfortunately to avoid the certain (US American) R-Rating Sex scenes, Birth Scene and Death was toned down, but at the same time, in the book you are also left to wonder and think for yourselves.
The birth scene was fantastic. Probably one of the best in the film.
One of my favourite scenes was during the wedding when family and friends held speaches to the bride and groom and Charlie threatens Edward to treat Bella well and keep her happy for the rest of her life, because he knows a few things … like shooting with a gun, beating someone up and stalking. After all he is a Policeman ! Awesome scene! Bellas mom sings a lullabye. Bella’s friend Jessica performs a bittersweet speach where she lets it shine through she is jealous that Edward didn’t choose her. Awesome.
Oh.. Wedding Dress.. My Gosh what a boring wedding dress. Totally DISLIKE.
I had great anticipation to how they would be explaining the whole imprinting on infants part and I’m not too impressed of how they handled that – however I also understand why…
Totally stoked folks… Loved it !!
As another blogger said it: “No one is going to call this movie a masterpiece, but I was not looking for a masterpiece”.
Temperatures were around +25C all day and it was cloudy most of the day. It cleared up around 2pm, and stayed nice after that.
When we woke up Alex and me drove over to Katie and Toris place where we pickecd up Katie and went to get tickets for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. Then we went to McDonalds to pick up food before the Spain / Portugal game that we saw at Katie and Toris place. Nathan went out biking.
Spain won 1-0 over Portugal and after the game we went shopping.
I got doorknobs for my new flat. All american style. Press the button and its locked and twist it and open. No keys demanded :D I got one for each door in the apartment !! I love them ! :D
Then we went to Bath and Bodyworks where I picked up some gifts for my Norway friends and some for me :D Ok. My luggage is going to be SOOOO heavy when i go home !!!!
I had a 3 hour powernap before we watched The Twilight Saga: NEW MOON to prepare for the release of ECLIPSE :D
Then we drove off to the theatres and we were let into the screening room to wait until it started.
The long wait was worth while ! I am sooo gonna see it again :D
Yet another day of cold California weather. Yikes. Ok. Compared to Norway not Cold but Arizona… I’m sure cold. We have +23C today in LA. It was completely cloudy.
I woke up at 5:45, showered and got ready to leave. Marco still asleep I had to wake him and Alex up. Marco had planned an early excersize session with another friend and Alex was to join them to look at them excersize.
We picked up Marcos friend and I was dropped off somewhere on Sunset Boulevard and then I walked with all my gear for the day. It took me an hour but it was 7am and it was noone else walking the streets this morning but me. A few cars drove past. I had no problems finding the hotel.. It was just to follow down the street and then when I got to the mall, walk 150 meters in up that street. :D

She also got herself a Bella Green Courderoy jacket like I got yesterday. Its sooo cute :
We also met up with Evelyn, Belinda and Sarah in the vendors area before we headed into the theatre to join the fun there. The exitement has risen since yesterday. Its already a huge improvement from yesterday. I mean the Cullen family panel was great and they are all so pretty. Elisabeth Reaser has the cutest laughter ever. She is just so adorable. Ashley Greene is so cute. I mean they are all pretty and they are all so nice. I am very pleased I got to come here and see them. Not only myself but the whole crowd of us today were all so exited. Not only for the Cullen Family Panel of course but for all the sessions today and the exitement grew and grew throughout the day. The Hilliwoods were doing an awesome job with the presentations and the shows they were putting on as well.
We also got to see trailers from Eclipse and some making of eclipse between the panels. Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel represented the Bad Vampires and BOY is that Xavier Samuel HOT when he is not trying to look scary!
The next panel on was Gil Birmingham, Christian Serratos and Daniel Cudmore. Daniel Cudmore is yet another HOTTIE. I cant wait till next weekend to have my photo Op with him :D In the Q&A Session Daniel was asked to reveal something that none of us knew about him. When he was a kid he had danced Ballet with his siblings.

After Lunch Booboo Stewart and Tyson Houseman were on. Its easy to see now that not only are the seats filling up, but also the crowd got more and more exited throughout the day.
When the Wolf Pack Panel got on the crowd was boiling and people screaming, howling and enjoying themselves. It just got more and more evident throughout the day that today was a BIG day. Alex Meraz impressed widely when he was asked what his hidden talent was and he answered Capoeira. He was then asked to show us but didnt want to until we revealed that Daniel Cudmore had shown us some of his Ballet tricks when he was on stage .THEN Alex took the challenge and he totally blew our minds with his Capoeira show. It was magical! Truly awesome!

When the big three were to enter stage the crowd had already waited a longe time and they were frantic, screaming and howling waiting for them. They were over 45 minutes delayed to the the official press conference going on at the hotel for the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie that will be released on the 24th of June.
When they finally entered the stage the screaming and howling was insane. I would be scared to death if I was one of them. I pasted links to the show and now you can see what you think as well !

Today I went with Jorunn S, Ornella, Ingrid and Linn to watch The Twilight Saga – New Moon pre-premiere.We had all prepared by dressing up as vampires with cool makeup and red contacts ! :D Yiihaa. Ok We MAY – but just MAY – take it a bit far, but the wait has been long – all since 12 of december 2008. Thats ALMOST a full year!
