Five Awesome Things We Heard From the Twilight Stars at Comic-Con
Here are the five best things that we heard today during that magical hour spent with the vampires and werewolves of Breaking Dawn:

Eonline lists Five awesome things of Twilight heard at comic con.
1. Potter Shots: Asked whether he had more fun playing Cedric Diggory (a more upbeat character than Edward, sure, but he dies, human-style), Rob was literally at a loss for words...until they just started flowing out!
"Well, no," he began. "They were both really, really fun. I definitely didn't know what I was doing when I was playing Cedric because it was so early on. I didn't even know if I wanted to be an actor at the time! It was fun, in that respect, because I was genuinely just playing around. Twilight has really changed my life and it's allowed me to live in this world, which...it's very difficult in. It's almost impossible to find another way of living in it. I don't know what I'm talking about, obviously!"
Obviously.

'Breaking Dawn' Honeymoon Debuts At Comic-Con
Here's the information on the two new clips that debuted at comic con across various sites.
MTV — It was the swoon heard 'round the San Diego Convention center, as the honeymoon scene from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" debuted at Comic-Con.
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner premiered two brand-new scenes from the highly anticipated movie on Thursday (July 21) in Hall H, where more than 6,000 fans had flocked to see their favorite stars. The honeymoon scene, which Twilighters got a glimpse of in a teaser trailer that aired during this year's MTV Movie Awards, was definitely the hit of the panel.
The scene starts with Edward Cullen carrying the newly minted Bella Cullen over the threshold at their honeymoon location, the fictional Isle Esme. One of the most distinct elements of the scene was how adult both Stewart and Pattinson look, marking their transition to married couple. After exchanging a lingering steamy look in their beautiful tropical bedroom, Bella asks Edward for "a few human minutes."
"Don't take too long, Mrs. Cullen," Edward replies, causing an echo of sighs around Hall H.
What follows is a cute sequence with Bella taking some personal time in the bathroom to brush her teeth, shave her legs, pick out a sexy outfit (her new sister-in-law Alice packed only lingerie for her) and shake off her nerves before getting ready to consummate her marriage.
After telling herself, "Don't be a coward," Bella walks outside to the beach in only a towel and sees Edward standing naked in the ocean. She lets her towel fall to the sand, and then walks out to meet her husband in the ocean — right as the clip ends.
Filming the scene, though, was not as romantic as it looks on the big screen, according to the "Breaking Dawn" stars. "Brazil was amazing," Pattinson said of the shooting location. "It was really amazing the day we got there, and really beautiful and warm and everything you'd expect. Then it suddenly, for the remainder of the shoot, was not only raining but like hurricane storms. ... It was kind of like having a honeymoon in England. We were playing board games instead of, like, making love on the beach."
Taylor Lautner's character, Jacob Black, was the focus of the second scene that debuted at Comic-Con. Among the castmembers who also make appearances in it are Peter Facinelli and Elizabeth Reaser, who play Cullen patriarch and matriarch Carlisle and Esme, as well as members of the wolf pack, including Julia Jones, Booboo Stewart, Alex Meraz, Bronson Pelletier, Tyson Houseman and Kiowa Gordon.
The first half of the second scene shows Jacob meeting with Carlisle and Esme. He warns them about facing off against wolf pack leader Sam Uley, but Carlisle and Esme tell Jacob they will risk their lives to protect Bella. Then Jacob and his followers, Leah and Seth Clearwater, head to a meeting with the now-enemy werewolves Paul, Quil, Jared and Embry. Jacob asks them to tell Sam that when Bella's baby is born, he will be the "the one to destroy it."
"I'm the only one who can," he explains. "They trust me."
Lautner comes to the forefront in "Part 1," but he said he was jealous that his special-effects wolf form got to do many more action scenes than he did. "I wish I could be actually doing that. I'm super jealous of my CGI wolf, though he is pretty cute and fluffy," Lautner admitted to the San Diego crowd.
But that doesn't mean he didn't endure some scrapes. Lautner said he actually got a bit bruised by Pattinson during one of the movie's key moments: the birthing scene. "He gives me a nice punch in this [scene] after he finds out I imprinted on his daughter," Lautner said with a laugh.

Comic Con updates: Tent City, MTV’s Breaking Dawn special, and more!
*MTV will be live-streaming from SDCC, and will also feature an hour-long Breaking Dawn special with lots of cast and crew.
NextMovie asks a few burning questions related to Comic Con.
2. Can Kristin Stewart carry “Snow White and the Huntsman”?
Considering there are three different modernizations of “Snow White” being worked on in Hollywood right now, “Snow White and the Huntsman” has a lot of competition out there. Luckily, this “Snow White” has two big advantages: “Twilight” superstar Kristen Stewart as Snow and “Thor’s” Chris Hemsworth as The Hunstman who decides to spare her life. Will they be enough to help this fable stand out from the crowd? We should find out when the first footage screens at Comic-Con.
5. Will Taylor Lautner destroy Comic-Con?
It’s hard to believe that once upon a time, Taylor Lautner was in very real danger of being dumped from the “Twilight” franchise because he wasn’t considered big enough to play the werewolf Jacob. Well, is he big enough now, America? Considering he’s become one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, Lautner’s presence may be more than even Comic-Con can handle, which is saying something from a venue that has hosted Darth Vader. But can thousands of Twihard tweens successfully mix with furries and cosplay rangers? The world will soon find out.
6. How big will the “Twilight” buzz be?
Speaking of “Twilight,” Comic-Con 2008 was dominated by the first film in the franchise, which came from off the radar to become one of the biggest stories of the Con thanks to a gaggle of shrieking fans that turned the “Twilight” panel into probably the loudest and most impassioned event in Comic-Con history. So how will fans top that now that the final films are being rolled out? Let’s just say it’s a good thing there are hundreds of superheroes around to keep things from getting too out of hand.

Going to Comic-Con? Don't give up your 'Twilight' book for this
If you're planning to attend this year's Comic-Con event in San Diego (can you believe it's next week?) in support of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and all of the other panels of Twilight fan interest (see here), there's one station you will probably want to avoid.
According to ComicBookMovie, the author of 30 Days Of Night, Steve Niles, is offering Twilight fans the "opportunity" to trade in their copies of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer in exchange for a volume of his book. Apparently, the animus for this promotion is that he finds the Twilight Saga's take on vampire lore to be astray from his own, and he hopes to put the "real" vampires, like those he's written about, back into business.
"Real horror fans have watched vampires systematically turned into wimpy fodder for years now. It's time to fight back. I'm happy to be working with IDW on the 'Sparkles for Blood' event. Hopefully, working together we can put an end to this nightmare."

There’ll be Twilight stars present for the Breaking Dawn – Part 1 panel on Thursday, but there’ll also be a few other panels of interest throughout the rest of the convention.
So, to keep it organized, here’s a run-down of all of the Twilight-related events at Comic-Con, including who’ll be there, what they’ll be supporting, when the various panels and presentations take place, and where each is located.”

Comic-Con 2011: Saturday's Official Film ScheduleLed By 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' 'Immortals'
The Comic-Con schedule for Saturday, July
23, 2011, has been posted for all to see.
While TV has tons to see, it’s slim pickings
on the film side. There are, however, some
high-profile offering.
The highlights:
Relativity’s Immortals panel, from 1-2 p.m.
in Hall H, withHenry Cavill leading the
cavalcade of the movie’s cast and
filmmakers.
More intriguing is Universal’s Snow White
and the Huntsman presentation. Kristen Stewart, Charlize
Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Sam Claflin, plus director Rupert
Sanders are going to be there. The schedule says exclusive
footage will be revealed, but seeing as how the movie doesn’t
start shooting until August, it’ll be interesting to see what they
show.

Which Clips Will We See at Comic-Con?

Breaking Dawn Part 1 Footage To Be Presented By Summit At Comic Con ?
So says The HD Room
Passes for the annual gathering of film, comic book, toy and gaming enthusiasts went on sale earlier today and was met by a stampede of buyers with credit cards in-hand. The ticketing vendor for the process, Ticketleap.com, buckled multiple times under the strain of fulfilling requests.
Interest in the four-day passes was so intense that even with the outages all were sold through in roughly two-and-a-half hours. Many people who were hoping to make the trek to San Diego and hit up the convention center for Thursday through Sunday had to walk away empty-handed.
Many of Comic-Cons must-see panels and unveiling of new footage are spread across multiple days. It wouldn’t make much sense to spend the travel and accommodations money and only get to see a sampling of what the show has to offer.
This year’s Comic-Con in particular is poised to be perhaps the biggest yet. In a battle of screaming female tweens versus comic book faithful, Summit Entertainment will present new footage and the stars of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 while Marvel and Paramount will counter with likely the first public footage from The Avengers.
