June 12, 2010 - Kristen Stewart's going to be slipping into the role of Bella Swan for the final time of The Twilight Saga in Breaking Dawn parts one and two. And at the LA press conference for Summit's third film of the Twilight series, Eclipse, Stewart revealed she's known for a while that the fourth book would be split up into two movies, something the studio only revealed just days before the Twilight cast had to sit down in LA to discuss Eclipse. Filming's set to begin at the end of this year on both Breaking Dawns, with director Bill Condon at the helm for the first time.

While chatting up Eclipse, Stewart answered a few Breaking Dawn questions from the media:

Now that you've done three of these are there things that you wish had made into the movie from the book that didn't?

Kristen Stewart: "Yeah, totally. There are a million things. I mean every single time we watch one of the movies, especially when the cast watches it together, it's always an incredibly frustrating experience. That's why I'm glad that Breaking Dawn is going to be two movies, which I can finally say. So there's going to be less of that, less of having to lose stuff."

How long have you known that Breaking Dawn was going to be two films and how long will the shoot be?

Kristen Stewart: "The shoot is going to be something like six months. We start in October. I think we're not going to be finished until maybe March or something, maybe February. I clearly don't really look at the schedule."

"I had to hold onto this forever. They've been talking about it for a really long time and we all definitely knew that it was going to be two movies forever now. It's been really hard not to say that. We're all really stoked on that."

Is there a scene in Breaking Dawn that you hope makes the movie?

Kristen Stewart: "There are a million and we haven't even shot it yet. I can't wait to get married and have a kid. It's all of that. It's going to be crazy."

In Robert Pattinson's interview last week he said in reference to Breaking Dawn that he wanted to make it rated R and stick to the book. Would you like to stick to the book and bring the rating up, or do you think it should be toned down?

Kristen Stewart: "I guess that everybody interprets those things differently. My guess is that it'll be PG-13. I have no idea, but I guess we'll all see when it comes out. "

Do you see an opportunity in Breaking Dawn, since it's two films, to create two interpretations of Bella, pre-vampire and post-vampire?

Kristen Stewart: "Yeah, actually. I really can't wait to get into that because I've been on the outskirts of what it would feel like to play one of them. I had to think about it a lot, considering that Bella is dating one of them very seriously. It's been years of dealing with these issues and I've thought about it a lot and I can't wait to actually be it. It's going to be a trip. It's going to be weird and I think she does change a lot. I think she's going to be the coolest vampire out of all of them. She's got the greatest power. She's untouchable. Nothing can touch her and I think that literally she can protect the whole clan. She's such a mother, too."

"I think it'll be awesome to see how much she's changed from Twilight where she's this 17 year old kid who really doesn't care about whole lot other than herself. To see her become this matriarch will be really cool."
