One of the key additions made by Bill Condon, Melissa Rosenberg, and the rest of the filmmakers on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 was "Edward's" backstory.
In the beginning - the night before he's set to marry "Bella" (Kristen Stewart) - "Edward" (Robert Pattinson) feels as though she must know the truth about his history . . . namely, that he's killed people before and considers his former actions to be those of a monster.
Bill Condon has talked to us about this addition before, noting that the scene came from a conversation he had with Robert Pattinson over a few beers.
The first time I met with Rob we had a long great night, many, many, many beers [laughter] and um, he said that one thing that had frustrated him a little is that—I guess that had been more developed in the first book, that was from Edward’s point of view, and it kind of informed the way he was playing the part throughout the whole movie. This sense of self-loathing and guilt that came from having killed humans for that period and yet, it had never been explored in the movies. So it felt like then I went back and looked at the section that described it in Twilight and I felt like, God, what better time right before a wedding to lay out the last objection, you know?Source: http://www.examiner.com
