"As Twilight series devotees know, there was a lot of ground to cover in adapting Breaking Dawn to the screen," said Condon. "Between the wedding, the honeymoon, the birth, and everything in between, naturally there were things that didn't make it into our final cut. But I wanted to make sure that for all the Twihards out there, there was a chance to see some of these cut scenes - several of which are fan favorites from the book."

In an interview with Collider last month Bill Condon revealed that as far as he knew there wouldn't be any commentary from Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart on the "Breaking Dawn Part 2" dvd/bluray and this list of dvd/bluray extras from Amazon France pretty much confirms that BUT there are some pretty exciting things on there (like a longer version of BD1)

The extras listed are for the French version of the movie but the extras for other countries will likely be very similiar.

The DVD/BluRay has a release date of March 14th 2013. There is a rumoured US release date of February 16, 2013. Obviously we'll keep you up to date as soon as we know more about that.

Greetings to our global Twihard family,

-

On the flight now from Madrid to Berlin, I wanted to check in one last time, as you're finally getting a look at what we've all been working on so intensely. It's hard to believe that after our Berlin premiere tonight, my TWILIGHT journey will finally come to a close. It's been almost three years since I first wrote to you. I'm very proud of what we've created together since then, and I hope that PART II fulfills your expectations for the grand finale to Stephenie's sprawling saga. Fingers crossed that you've also managed to stay at least mostly spoiler-free, in order to enjoy the twists and parting gifts we have in store for you...

Thank you again for making me feel like a member of your fandom family online...for sleeping in The Line in San Diego in order to laugh with us in Hall H...for traveling great distances to join us in L.A. for last year's Tent City and this year's Fan Camp. Above all, thank you for trusting me with this universe you care so deeply about - we tried to match your intensity in our attention to every detail. That said, I don't think I'll ever live down the shame of being spied on by Twihard covens around the world on our very first night of shooting in Rio. Thanks to photos shot and instantly posted online of Bella and Edward on their honeymoon, we were called out in real time for missing a certain engagement ring... (Sorry -- again!)

As with you all, what I'll take with me from my time in Forks are so many great friendships - our massive cast of talented actors, and new creative partners such as Melissa Rosenberg, Guillermo Navarro and Phil Tippett. I hope to know them all for years and to work with them again soon, making movies yet to be dreamed up. At the L.A. premiere Monday night, Phil said we should make a "bloody, giant monster movie." But is there room for a musical number?

-

See you at the theatre.

-

Forever,

-

Bill
