But what would YOU like to see in the DVD extras? FearNet has some ideas and I really like where they’re going with this! What do YOU think? Let us know in the comments below!
The Gore We Were Promised, Kinda
Eclipse director David Slade, who made all sorts of delicious red stuff spill in the snow in his other vampire flick 30 Days of Night, kept things pretty PG-13 for the Twilight crowd. But back in June, he told us that at least one of his vampire battle decapitation shots was too hot for the MPAA's sensibilities. ("We had this one part in the battle where Emmett just tears someone's face off," he said. "The face kind of breaks off into pieces of crystal that shatter.")
Will we get to see extended, unused footage of Emmett ripping some vampire faces off on Blu-ray, even if they shatter bloodlessly like pieces of marble? Let's hope.
What Rosalie Did to Those Horrible Old-Timey Men
In Eclipse, stiff old Rosalie (Nikki Reed) finally got to loosen up a bit, telling her origin story in flashback: After being raped by a gang of men and left for dead, she returns newly vampirized like a bride from hell to wreak bloody revenge on her attackers. In other words, it's Rosalie's I Spit On Your Grave moment -- and we'd like nothing more than to see a deleted scene of her tearing that cad Jack Huston limb from limb.
Victoria and Riley's Vampire Love Nest
There were no indications that they'd shot such a scene for the film, but this being our fantasy list ofEclipse bonus material, we wish we could get a peek at Victoria's hidden love nest as described in the spin-off novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. (Read our book review here.) This is where Riley has his sexy rendezvous with Victoria and where he gets his orders to lead the newborns to the fight in the clearing, unaware that he's just a pawn in Victoria's game, and it's also where more than one unfortunate young bloodsucker meets their end.
(While we're at it, we'd LOVE to see more of Jodelle Ferland as Bree, the confused newborn given a second chance by Carlisle who meets her fate at the hands of the Volturi. Bree's first kill, her adventures with her ill-fated mate, Diego, even her last-act psychic exchange with Edward Cullen -- they're all fascinatingly drawn events in Meyer's supplemental novel that would be nice to see included in the comprehensive filmed version of Eclipse that, alas, only exists in our minds.)
Taylor Lautner in That Infamous Spandex Wolf Suit
Our fingers are crossed the hardest for a glimpse of Taylor Lautner in the gray spandex suit he wore on set to help co-star Kristen Stewart visualize Jacob in wolf form. Slade described the scene: "He came in and he put out his fist, and she kind of nuzzled his fist and stroked his hair." Somewhere in the Six-Part Making-of Documentary included on both the DVD and Blu-ray editions, there's got to be at least one shot. Forget those silly jean cut-offs. The fans demand Taylor in spandex!
Last But Not Least, We Want To See KStew and RPattz Confirming Their Love on the Record
Hey, don't judge. Who among us won't be listening hard to the Kristen Stewart-Robert PattinsonEclipse commentary track for clues and dead giveaways or some public acknowledgement of their alleged off-screen relationship? Expect the same kind of awkward, random banter from these two that we got on the first Twilight release, in which they shared a commentary track with director Catherine Hardwicke -- especially when it comes to the fan-favorite "leg hitch" make-out scene, the tent scene, and KStew's hot and heavy lip-smacking scenes with both of her leading men.
One of my favorite bands Florence + The Machine had their song “Heavy in Your Arms” featured on the Eclipse soundtrack. Now, there’s an official video!

Bits of Breaking Dawn
 To celebrate Reneeseme’s September 10th birthday (considering her rapid aging it’s guessed she’d be between 10-14 in looks), Hollywood Crush decides to list the things they’d like see about her on film.
1. The birthing scene
Sorry, Nessie, but this is one we're dying to see. How will Bill Condon and Melissa Rosenbergmake the birthing scene terrifying without making you seem like a monster? After all, you become one of the most beloved characters in the film by "Part 2." We're glad that's their challenge to deal with and not ours! 2. Jacob's imprint
Once again, this is a challenge we do not envy Taylor Lautner for having to deal with: falling madly in love with a newborn baby right out of the womb after just one look. Hopefully it will come across as beautifully in the film as it does in the book and doesn't just end up being really creepy. Also, we're really interested to see what exactly Jacob will imprint on, which leads us to our next item. 3. CGI or actual person?
This has been the big question all along: Will Renesmee be CGI or an actual girl (or many girls, we guess)? To use a CGI newborn instead of a cute, cuddly little baby seems like the wrong choice, but also, how else will they be able to get across the very many unique characteristics that Renesmee has? We'll be interested to see what the crew comes up with. 4. Supernatural abilities
Renesmee is supposed to be a completely unique creature, and she is definitely something we've never seen in the "Twilight" universe before. It will be interesting to see what special effects are used to represent her abilities on the big screen, and how much time will be spent developing how special Renesmee actually is. After all, that will pretty much be the main plot line for the second film. The Stand Up to Cancer charity auction for a chance to visit the Vancouver set of Breaking Dawn is still going on. With one day and a few hours left, the bidding is up to $41,100!
