Twilight: Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon has played down the cuts made to the movie's sex scene.
Speaking to Digital Spy at Breaking Dawn's UK premiere, Condon said that there were minimal changes to the bedroom moment between Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), which came under scrutiny from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) for its 'graphic thrusting'.
"It wasn't that graphic, honestly," Condon said. "It's close to what's in the movie now. Maybe a thrust or two!"
The Oscar-nominated Dreamgirls filmmaker also discussed the pros and cons of helming a movie with a huge in-built audience, adding: "It's great to know [that people want to watch it]. It's great to have that question answered already, but at the same time these people are very invested in this story and you have to make sure you don't screw it up for them."
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is released in cinemas worldwide on November 18, followed by Breaking Dawn - Part 2 on November 16, 2012.
