Ashley Greene has spent the first days of 2011 doing martial-arts training. If we didn’t know she was gearing up for some vampire fisticuffs in “Breaking Dawn,” we might say the 23-year-old is getting ready to kick, punch and otherwise pound into submission the next 12 months. Because after years spent as a beloved supporting player in the “Twilight” franchise, Greene is set to take her turn in 2011 as one of the series’ breakout stars.

The year begins with the debut of the Sundance indie “Skateland,” an ’80s coming-of-age tale. Then it’s on to “LOL,” a comedy in which she stars as a bad girl opposite Miley Cyrus. And don’t forget about “The Apparition,” a supernatural thriller that brings “Twilight” together with “Harry Potter” (Tom Felton) and “Gossip Girl” (Sebastian Stan), and the ensemble comedy, “Butter.” Oh, yeah — plus the first part of “Breaking Dawn.”

Yep, it’s going to be a big year for Greene. That’s why we’ve named her as one of MTV News’ 11 to Watch in 2011. During a break from the “Breaking Dawn” set in Louisiana, the actress answered some questions via e-mail, hitting on subjects like working with Cyrus, her most anticipated “Breaking Dawn” scene and what it was like to see Kristen Stewart as a vampire.

MTV: 2011 is shaping up to be a big year for you, coming off all the “Twilight” exposure and now having some prominent roles in “The Apparition,” “LOL” and a bunch of other projects coming down the line. Does 2011 feel like it’s going to be a particularly big year?

Ashley Greene: Definitely. I’m very excited for it. While it will be sad to finish filming the last installment of “The Twilight Saga,” I’m grateful to have so much to look forward to. There’s so much going on and so many wonderful opportunities popping up for 2011, and somehow I feel very Zen right now — I’m in a good place!

MTV: Do you have any goals for the year beyond what you’re already doing? What would you like to look back on at the end of the year and say, “I’m glad I accomplished that”?

Greene: “Twilight” and my upcoming projects have given me an amazing platform. I’m looking forward to doing as many diverse projects and roles as I can fit in this year! I’m also looking forward to continuing to make strides with mark’s m.powerment campaign; it’s important to me that I use my voice to inspire my young, female fans to pursue their dreams, just like I did. I’m so thankful for everything in 2010 and am extremely optimistic and excited about how much more can be accomplished this year.

MTV: Let’s talk “LOL.” We saw a lot of photos of you guys filming on location in Europe. Between “Twilight” fans and Miley fans, did you guys have to deal with a lot of paparazzi and people hanging outside set?

Greene: Miley is a phenomenon — she’s accomplished so much in the movie, TV and music worlds that it’s not surprising how much attention was attracted during filming. But we’re both professional and understand that we’re there to do our jobs. Work was our number-one priority, and everything else was background.

MTV: You’ve become a fashion icon in young Hollywood, and your “LOL” character certainly has a distinctive fashion style. Did you get to pick out any of your outfits? Keep anything? Become inspired by any of those looks?

Greene: I definitely have a say in them, but it’s more about what fits my character than me personally. In “LOL,” my character, Ashley, wears some pretty outrageous and provocative outfits that I’d never wear in real life! With Alice Cullen, we got to draw on Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O inspirations, which is a bit more me.

MTV: While filming “Apparition,” did you and Tom Felton ever compare notes about “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” fans?

Greene: Not so much comparing the fans as acknowledging how incredible they are. We are both so lucky to be a part of franchises that have ignited such a passion in young people. Very few actors get to be a part of that experience, so it’s humbling.

MTV: What “Breaking Dawn” scene are you most excited to film?

Greene: Most excited to film and see would be the big fight sequence against the Volturi. As a cast, we like to do as many of our own stunts as possible, so it’s fun and challenging to shoot those scenes. Jeff Imada, the stunt coordinator, is such a blast to work with as well. I’m learning so much from him.

MTV: Tell us about Bill Condon’s style on set. How does he differ from prior “Twilight” directors?

Greene: “There’s no way to describe what it’s like working with Bill Condon except incredible! He is so professional, patient and a fantastic leader. I get excited going to set every day knowing I get to work with him. Each director has brought such a different energy and perspective to the films. Bill is very relaxed and authoritative, in a good way. I feel very comfortable working with him.

MTV: Kristen Stewart said at the People’s Choice Awards that she filmed some scenes as a vampire. What was your reaction to seeing Kristen as a vamp?

Greene: Glad to have her officially join the Cullen family!

Torrid honeymoon sex in tropical Brazil.

The most horrifying pregnancy since Rosemary delivered her devil child.

The threat of a vampire massacre on a nuclear scale.

No wonder the film version of Breaking Dawn is coming out in two parts — the first arrives Nov. 18. (The second is due Nov. 16, 2012.)

The wrap-up to the film franchise that began in 2008 and has grossed nearly $1.8 billion worldwide is truly the event-filled mother-of-all Twilight tales, based on the massive fourth volume of Stephenie Meyer’s literary phenom.

Even the most rabid Twi-hards have been nervous about how the sometimes graphic 754-page tome would translate on screen as the mixed-marriage spawn of courtly bloodsucker Edward Cullen and beloved human Bella (played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) leads to friction with the Volturi, who act as vampire royalty, and the werewolf-prone Quileute tribe.

But never fear, says producer Wyck Godfrey.

Speaking from the Baton Rouge set where both installments of Breaking Dawn are shooting simultaneously, Wyck answered some of the Twi-faithful’s more pressing questions.

Q: Where does the story split in half?

A: “We basically want to take the audience through the emotional part of Bella’s journey as she becomes a vampire. The first part will cover the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth.” The film ends just before she embarks on her supernatural transformation.

Q: The book has three segments, two of which present Bella’s point of view and a middle that’s devoted to the perspective of her rejected werewolf suitor, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). How is that handled?

A: “The story will break from her and follow Jacob throughout the course of the movie as he struggles with his own dilemma. There is a sense that as Bella and the Cullens (Edward’s makeshift vampire clan) deal with her pregnancy, the world is still turning outside with Jacob.”

Q: Why was Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning filmmaker best known for his musicals as the screenwriter of 2002′s Chicagoand the director of 2006′s Dreamgirls, selected as the director of the finale?

A: “These films have the most difficult stuff from a performance standpoint. With his history of directing, I can’t think of anyone who would be better at bringing out the best in an actor.” Plus, the director, who did the 1995 sequel to Candyman, is a fright-fare enthusiast. “He has an appetite for the genre and a passion for the Twilight books and movies.”

Q: Considering what goes on during the torturous birth process, how can the rating be PG-13?

A: With Twilight’s core of under-18 fans, “it would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated.” However, “this is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated.”

A compromise: Having the bloody, bone-crushing delivery be seen only through Bella’s eyes. “She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees.”

Q: How is the long-awaited consummation of Edward and Bella’s love portrayed?

A: Even though their physical relationship goes way beyond what was shown in the first three films, “it does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual.”

Q: At the end of Breaking Dawn, about 70 or so vampires from around the world gather to face off with the Cullens and their allies plus Jacob’s wolf pack. How can you keep both portions of the storytelling equally compelling?

A: “The second half is more of an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes.” But the domestic moments of the first film possess an emotional punch. “There are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was.”

Q: Is there any chance that Condon could sneak in a musical number?

A: There might be traditional dancing at the wedding. But don’t expect any of the wolf pack to suddenly howl a tune or do a soft-shoe shuffle.

Although, as Godfrey jokes, “We just had a whole line of actors marching toward the camera. We could have them practice a chorus line with vampires doing kicks.”

The Behind The Scenes

Let the countdown begin. Cameras are pretty close to rolling on Breaking Dawn.

“We start sometime in October and go all the way through to late April,” Kellan Lutz says. “I just did a [wardrobe fitting] and a contact lenses test.”

As for that much anticipated, hard-to-imagine birthing scene…

Lutz cracked, “I think they should show it and have Emmett in the background laughing.”

Joking aside, Lutz says he knows what director Bill Condon has planned for the potentially gory sequence. “I love the way that they’re showing it,” he said. “I really thought that was going to be really a tough thing to show.”

Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg recently told us the birth of baby Renesmee won’t necessarily be gruesome. “I don’t think it’s about the amount of blood you show,” she said. “It’s about the intensity of it. It’s on their faces. It’s all from Bella’s point of view when you’re seeing what’s going. It should feel visceral. I think it’s going to be pretty intense.”

With a breakout role in Martin Scorsese’s new project, the 27-year-old Brit proves he’s got more than Hollywood good looks and a famous last name (as in Grandpa John and Aunt Anjelica)—he also has a legitimate knack for the family business.

Details: In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, you play the former fiancé of Edward’s sister, Rosalie. How did you land the part?
Jack Huston: I auditioned for another part—a newborn vampire—and kind of shocked the producers. I acted like a junkie. I hadn’t slept the night before and had drunk lots of coffee. Everyone was like, “Um, a little too edgy.” But they liked me enough to offer me this part instead.

Details: What’s it like to be part of the Twilight phenomenon?
Jack Huston: I have never seen anything like it, actually. I turned up for shooting and, literally, everyone was there—children, teenagers, 20-year-olds, mothers, older ladies. There was an English teacher, who had saved up her time off and flown from England to Vancouver to put herself up in the same hotel as the cast. She sat in the lobby all day, just to see them walk out. That’s a little extreme, but I like her dedication.

Details: Your character isn’t a nice guy. Have any rabid fans confronted you yet?
Jack Huston: They haven’t said anything to me yet. I’m safe for now. But imagine if it turns nasty and they camp outside my house with knives. That would be terrible. “Stop attacking me! I’m really a nice guy! I am not a rapist!”

Details: Your next project is the hotly anticipated HBO Prohibition-era drama Boardwalk Empire. Any spoilers?
Jack Huston: Martin Scorsese shot the pilot, and it’s going to look like a Scorsese movie. It takes place in Atlantic City during the 1920s, in the early days of organized crime. My character’s come back from the war, and things have happened to him. He’s not really an on-the-boardwalk kind of person. I can’t reveal too much, but he wants to hide. I had to alter a lot about my appearance for the role.

Details: Like growing a mustache?
Jack Huston: I’ve had a mustache in a few things now. I think I’ve become the go-to mustache man. It works in period pieces. Modern-day mustaches are probably creepy. But I get compliments—everyone’s like, “Wow, love the ‘stache, dude.”

Details: You’re filming in New York. What have you been doing when you’re not shooting?
Jack Huston: Filming in New York has been nice, but like an idiot I’ve just been up in my room working. I tend to do that when I travel for work. Just sitting in my hotel room getting stuff done: reading, going over scripts, rewriting little bits. Like a recluse. I am Howard Hughes at the moment. I’m pissing in bottles.

Details: What’s the set like?
Jack Huston: We are at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. They built this incredible boardwalk. It blows your mind. When the show ends, apparently it’s going to stay there because it’s become this attraction. You can see a time line of them building it on YouTube. All from nothing.

Details: Is it true you’ve filmed a movie with Al Pacino?
Jack Huston: It’s been a couple years now, I think. I did a day’s work on this Oscar Wilde movie he’s doing called Wilde Salome. He must have hundreds of hours of film now, and he’s still editing. I’ve seen it maybe six times, and I’ve seen six different movies—each time it’s a different film. For a week or so we were going to Al’s every night, eating fruit salad, and talking about the part.

Details: Fruit salad?
Jack Huston: “Fruit salad, Al? Seven days in a row?! Can you bring me some fucking prosciutto?” [Laughs] I can’t say enough about Al. There is no man as invested in what he does.

Details: You come from a famous family. Do you feel pressure to live up to the name?
Jack Huston: My grandpa didn’t get started until he was in his mid-forties. My aunt Anjelica started in her thirties after modeling for a long time. My uncle Danny really started in his late thirties. I guess we’re just late bloomers. I started early compared to them, so there’s no pressure.

Details: Did they steer you into the family business?
Jack Huston: I was in England, so I was always very separate from them. But Anjelica did say that she thought it would be a good idea if I came to America, which really spurred me to make the move. But we never really talk about the craft or anything like that. They gave me advice, but more as one’s own aunt or uncle or mother or father would do. Just like a normal family.

Details: They must have taught you a few things about Hollywood.
Jack Huston: I went to the Academy Awards with my aunt when I was, like, 19, and I remember walking the red carpet. I think that put me off ever wanting to do it again. I was just shell-shocked. There are so many people, and they are literally yelling at you! I fucking freaked out! I downed, like, four drinks and got hammered.

Details: Has dating Cat Deeley, the host of So You Think You Can Dance, made you better at handling the flashbulbs?
Jack Huston: She gets recognized when we go out, not me. It’s like that scene from Forgetting Sarah Marshall—”Hey, Lurch! Get out of the picture.”

Robert Pattinson:
“I keep everything from the set. I’ve stolen all of Edward’s clothes.”

Elizabeth Reaser:
“My original Esme bracelet. I’ve seen reproductions of it in stores, but I want to keep the one that I wear once we finish [filming]. It’s mine!”

Taylor Lautner:
“All my character wears is jean shorts, so I’ll have to go with those. That’s my only option!”

Julia Jones:
“Leah’s cut-offs!”

Kellan Lutz:
“Emmett’s Jeep! I’ve wanted it since we shot the first movie. I keep saying that, but nothing’s happened. I’m still waiting!”

Tinsel Korey:
“My relationship with everybody from set. We get along like a real family. Our relationship is special.”

Xavier Samuel:
“Vampires dress really well, so it would have to be Riley’s jacket. When you run it’s a bit flamboyant, but it looks good. I recommend running in those jackets.”

Sarah Clarke:
“In Eclipse, my character wears a cowboy hat and they let me keep it. Now that the movie is out, I won’t be able to wear it as much.”

Peter Facinelli:
“Carlisle’s ring! It has the Cullen crest, the symbol of the whole family, on it. I’d like to take it home and keep it in a drawer somewhere. Once, I couldn’t get it off my finger, so it did go home with me.”

Alex Meraz:
“The shorts are all I’ve got! We keep using the same shorts but I keep getting bigger for each film, so the shorts keep getting tighter. By the end of the series, they’re going to be torn. Hey, sex sells and I’m glad to sell it!”

Kellan Lutz is a busy guy. The 25-year-old has been working nonstop since finding fame in the Twilight series. He’s the new face (and body) of Calvin Klein underwear, he just wrapped a romantic comedy with Mandy Moore, he’s currently shooting The Immortals with Mickey Rourke in Montreal, and he’s got two more action films on tap (Warrior and Death Games), not to mention the concluding Twilight two-parter, Breaking Dawn. In fact, he’s so busy he doesn’t even have time to take a break from doing interviews for Twilight: Eclipse to grab a little breakfast in private.

“Sorry about this,” he says before tucking into a healthy-looking omelet with a side of mixed berries at a downtown Toronto hotel suite. He’s just about to launch into a story about the MMVAs when he wrinkles his nose and smells the food. “Wait, is this yogurt or sour cream? I can’t even tell the difference any more,” he says before handing the bowl to his publicist. “Taste this for me.” An official food taster; he has arrived.

Not that Lutz comes off as a diva who’s high on the perks of fame. Despite his breakout star status, the actor is a lot like the character he plays in the Twilight franchise: easy-going, loveable and just a little bit mischievous.

How do you prepare for that intense fan reaction that seems to follow you wherever you go?

For me, I never really experienced it until Twilight. I think the biggest extreme from zero to 100, as far as realizing what I’ve gotten myself into, happened at the premiere of Twilight. I was just like, “There’s a line of people. Who are they waiting for? Wait, is that my face on a poster?!?” It was so surreal. After that, you kind of get an understanding of what it’s like to feel like a Beatle. To have fans screaming your name and crying and running after you; you kind of embrace it.

So it doesn’t freak you out?

I just go into it open-armed now. I’m such a people person. I love hanging out with the fans and doing the conventions and Q&As. I did a Calvin Klein meet-and-greet at The Bay yesterday and the fans were so great. To hear their stories and hang out; it’s really humbling to know that they enjoy and they appreciate your work.

Did you have any crazy fan encounters at The Bay?

There was a guy Max who is such a big teddy bear, kind of like Emmett. He was like “What about all the men who came for you, Kellan?” He was awesome! I actually ripped my jeans onstage because I was giving a little girl a hug…

Oh, I’m sure the crowd didn’t hate that.

[Laughs] It was funny – I was like “Oh, now you get to see my Calvins!” So I changed my jeans and I gave my old ones to Max, ’cause he just cracked me up. But everyone is just so loving. I’m really glad that the loving fans sit on the streets and wait to see us at events for three days versus the haters.

So have you seen Eclipse yet?

No! Have you?

Yeah. It’s good; definitely my favourite of the three.

Awesome! That’s what I’ve been hearing. It was my favourite book. It was my favourite to shoot, mostly because it’s such an action-packed movie. And my character actually does stuff. He has more than four lines! I understand about the first ones; I knew that getting into it, you can’t really change the books. So it was funny when fans go, “Oh, I wish there is more of you in the movies.” There’s nothing you can do about it.

There’s so much action. I think this is the one that girls are going to be able to bring their boyfriends to and the guys won’t complain.

I know! I annoyed the producers since Day 1 on Twilight, trying to do all my own stunts. And for insurance reasons, they said no. But for Eclipse we did six weeks of mixed martial arts training – jujitsu, kung-fu, boxing. It’s such an epic battle. The stunt guys were brilliant. They really depicted each of our characteristics, with me being the bulldozer who just runs through people. While Jasper and Alice are quicker; they’re stealthy. Rosalie’s kind of dirty, so she’ll throw stuff. With each of us having a different fighting style, it really gave it a unique vibe when they put it all together.

It sounds like you loved the physical aspect of this film.

I loved doing stunts; I don’t have tattoos and I always say that my scars and bruises are my tattoos. I just did this movie called The Killing Game and we had real machetes and my chest got cut up by accident. My agent was like “That’s your money maker! You can’t ruin that!” [Laughs]

So you’re hoping for action movies in your future?

I love action movies; I want to work with Sylvester Stallone one day. I was supposed to work on his movie The Expendables. I auditioned for it and I got the role, but the scheduling didn’t work out with New Moon. And I was just like, “What a bummer.” It has seven of my favourite action stars. Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture…it’s such an all-star cast. If the name “Kellan” would have been up there with them, I would have died happy.

You have a pretty intense fight scene early on in Eclipse where you face off against a werewolf. What’s it like acting against CGI?

That was tough because when I’m doing stunts, I need someone to push me to act against. But with the wolf, I just had to fake it. It’s just really funny when you have a cardboard cutout that you’re acting against. And that river was freezing! It was so cold and I was like “But vampires can’t breathe.” And David was like “Just use it as if you’re mad at the wolf.” So I’m like [mimes shivering and shaking]. All the actors playing the wolves have the easiest job ever because they get to hang out shirtless and then they don’t fight! [Laughs]

What was it like working with David Slade?

He’s really cool. I’m really a big fan. 30 Days of Night is such a great, epic vampire movie, and Hard Candy is such an intense mental movie, so he’s a great director for this kind of dark, edgy movie. He was never stressed and he always had this dry sense of humour that I loved. Some people didn’t get it, like Rob [Pattinson] would just not understand his jokes, which made me laugh even more.

This movie is much darker than the other ones, but Emmett is still the film’s most happy-go-lucky vampire.

My character is such an extremist; he is certain that nothing can hurt him. But he’s also a kid at heart and loves life to the fullest. And when he’s messing with Bella, I love that he can crack jokes in a jovial way instead of a mean way. He just likes to pick on her and then he shows his dimples. Like me growing up. I come from a big family. And I got away with stuff ’cause I’d just smile and be like, “I didn’t do it!”

In Eclipse, we see Jasper and Rosalie’s backstories. Where’s Emmett’s?

I know! There’s an excerpt that Stephenie [Meyer] wrote called “Emmett and the Bear” that she posted on her website. It really shows what the story is with Emmett and his relationship with Edward and how they became really close. I wish that we could show that. I’d love for Stephenie to write the Emmett chronicles.

Would you consider doing an Emmett spin-off?

Oh yeah. Even if it’s just one movie. To see Emmett and Rosalie’s relationship more would be nice. I love my character; I’ve made such a backstory in my head, and I just don’t get to show a lot of him. I can’t help it and I can’t complain, but there’s a lot that I want to do with him.

Let’s talk about Breaking Dawn. Are you excited that it’s being split into two movies?

I really am. I haven’t really sensed an ending coming up for the Twilight saga. I don’t want it to end because I love my character. I don’t mind going through two hours of makeup and putting in those annoying contacts just to be my character, because I have this happiness when I transform into him. And to get to do two more premieres, two more press junkets and have twice as long to travel around the world to meet fans is awesome. It’s just so easy. The movies don’t take too long to shoot and it’s a nice reunion with the rest of the cast.

So you’re not getting antsy to move on from Twilight?

It’s opened up so many doors that it doesn’t seem like it’s our whole life. We shoot it, then we work on three other different movies, and then you come back and get another taste of Twilight. I’m not super-saturated with Emmett or this saga yet; it hasn’t gotten old and it’s not going to.

What are you looking forward to about Breaking Dawn?

I really can’t wait to see how they’re going to do the whole baby thing. I’m just really excited to see how Melissa [Rosenberg] is going to write it. And also when they’re going to make part A stop and part B start. Is it before Bella transforms into a vampire? I can’t wait to read the script!

Kristen Stewart takes one more step toward immortality in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” She’s put her own stamp on Bella, who’s determined to take a walk down the aisle and spend eternity with her vampire lover Edward, played by Robert Pattinson.

Stewart told Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf that, just like her character, she’s grown a lot since “Twilight” first became a cultural phenomenon. But some things haven’t changed.

Honesty is the best policy, no matter what
“I’ve always said that I’m not ashamed of anything that I say because I’m always being honest, even though you can definitely make mistakes. That’s Bella in a nutshell, so I can completely relate to her. I think it’s a good thing to be proud of who you are, no matter what. Success is always something completely different for different people. I feel like I’ve succeeded if I’m doing something that makes me happy and I’m not lying to anybody. That’s why I feel really good about myself right now.”

So does her romance with RPattz go beyond the screen?
“It’s hard to actually take details of your personal life and apply them in a scene because as much as you can identify with a feeling, you just get muddled. As soon as you start bringing your own stuff in, it’s like, ‘No, that’s not right.’ You’re playing a different person. You have to leave that stuff at the door.”

Kissing him onscreen wasn’t the problem
“One of the most challenging scenes was probably finally kissing Jacob for the first time. Bella has got such tunnel vision that Edward is the only thing for her. That’s a strange perspective. So when Taylor Lautner and I kissed, it felt like such a different dynamic. I was nervous as hell.”

Relating to Bella’s dad talking about the birds and the bees
“It was funny the way Bella got so embarrassed in that scene. I guess a lot of girls do because they probably don’t need that lecture. I probably had that moment. I guess that everybody does. But I knew everything, from the word go. I was really mature, that way. So, I never really had ‘the talk.’ I didn’t need it.”

Giving in to fame
“I’ve definitely relaxed because I’ve like sort of just relinquished control. There’s nothing I can do, but who I am, or whatever. It used to freak me out. I still wish I could tell myself to just like calm down. But that’s it.”

Glamming up for the red carpet
“I’m definitely having more fun with it. Usually, if I don’t like what I’m wearing, you totally know it. It’s like written all over me. That’s why I have to make sure I get it right for me. I’m much more comfortable with my dress choices now. I feel like it’s actually like I’m wearing clothes that I would wear, and not like I’m wearing weird things to events that hardly function as clothing.”

Looking forward to “Breaking Dawn”
“I really can’t wait to get into it because I’ve been on the outskirts of what it would feel like to play a vampire. It’s been years of dealing with these issues and I’ve thought about it a lot. It’s going to be a trip. It’s going to be weird. I think Bella is going to be the coolest blood sucker of all of them. She’s got the greatest power. She’s untouchable. She’s impenetrable. I think it’ll be awesome to see how much she’s changed from ‘Twilight,’ where she was this 17-year-old kid who really didn’t care about a whole lot. Now, she’s going to become the matriarch.”

Looking ahead
“I don’t really plan out my career a whole lot. My choices come from the gut. I need to have a really distinct feeling before I do a movie, and I never know what that’s gonna be. So far, I’ve chosen really different things. I know some people think I’ve played a lot of disaffected teen-age girls, but that’s sort of how girls are at that age. I think to play a completely mindless happy person would be mindless and fun and happy, but boring.”

LOS ANGELES – The stars of “Twilight” are already looking forward to the final two installments in the vampire franchise.

Author Stephenie Meyer’s fourth and final “Twilight” book, “Breaking Dawn,” is splitting into two parts, and while scripts are still being written, star Kristen Stewart says she knows exactly where the fourth movie should end: With Bella having just given birth and Edward being forced to change her into a vampire to save her life.

“I feel like it’s so obvious where you break it up. It’s as soon as she turns,” Stewart told AP Television at a weekend publicity event for the third “Twilight” film, “Eclipse,” opening June 30. “Gosh, you open your eyes to this different world, right? That would be amazing.”

Stewart said she’s looking forward to her character’s development in the final two films, the first of which is set for release Nov. 18, 2011.

“It’s such a crazy concept though,” she said. “I’m going to be playing a wife and a mother and a vampire. I haven’t read the scripts … but I don’t see where else it could split other than when she turns. … I’m really curious as to what I’m going to be doing in the next six months.”

Co-star Taylor Lautner said he approved of Stewart’s idea, and praised the decision by film distributor Summit Entertainment to break up the last book.

“There’s so much to cover,” he said. “Because you’ve got to deal with the marriage, you’ve got to deal with the kid. I mean, maybe the split of the wolfpack, because that’s very important as well. But it’ll be interesting. Wherever it splits, whatever happens, I’m trusting (director) Bill Condon, because he’s extremely talented.”

Condon, who directed “Dreamgirls” and “Kinsey,” will direct both films.

Stewart said she actually can’t wait for the franchise that made her a star — and a paparazzi target — to come to its conclusion.

“Gosh I mean come on, get on with it definitely,” she said. “The feeling that I get before and during working on a new movie is you want the story to be told so bad because you’re worried that it’s not going to be right and get out. I’m so concerned with getting every scene right. This story is constantly weighing on me because it’s not done. So I can’t wait to finish it.”
