christina perri
"entertainment weekly" critic kyle anderson stated of the soundtrack's second single, "'jar of hearts' songstress christina perri's fantastically opulent 'a thousand years' sets the tone for "the twilight saga: breaking dawn—part 1": stark acoustic strums, cascading strings, and a piercing croon expressing undying adoration." despite awarding the album a b grade, anderson noted, "if anything, this is the narrowest "twilight" soundtrack yet: even when the volume shifts from quiet to slightly less quiet, these weepy tunes about eternity and erotic mythical beasts grow wearisome."
the twilight saga: breaking dawn – part 1 (soundtrack)
talks for a "breaking dawn" film started after summit entertainment approved the second and third adaptations of the franchise, and scheduled the two films to be released six months apart. wyck godfrey, producer of the previous films in the series, stated in mid-2009 that they had every intention to make the film version of "breaking dawn", but stephenie meyer, author of the series, explained on her website's "breaking dawn" faq that if an adaptation were to be created, it would have to be split into two films because "the book is just so long!", saying that she would have made the book shorter if it were possible. she also believed it to be impossible to make a film due to renesmee, writing that an actress could not play her because she is a baby that has complete awareness, "the one thing that i've never seen is a cgi human being who truly looks real"; however, she did acknowledge the film might be possible due to the quickly-advancing technologies. moreover, because of the mature and explicit nature of the "breaking dawn" book, fans and critics questioned if the studio would be able to keep a pg-13 rating, noting that the movie should not be rated r for the ever-growing fan base. in march 2010, "variety" reported that summit entertainment was considering splitting the 754-page book into two films, along the same lines as warner bros.' "harry potter and the deathly hallows". since under contract for only four films, the status of stewart's, pattinson's, and lautner's contracts were in question, making the possibility of a split unlikely. producer wyck godfrey stated that all three main cast members were signed onto one "breaking dawn" film.
