'Breaking Dawn' was such a jam-packed final book in the 'Twilight' series that it got not one, but two big-screen adaptations. People are already camping out to see 'Part 1' when it premieres on Thursday at midnight, but we have to wait another year for 'Part 2' to hit theaters in November 2012. The biggest question on fans's minds: Where does 'Part 1' end and 'Part 2' begin?

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1' caused even more of a media circus than usual while filming. With wedding, sexy honeymoon and half-breed baby for Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, the two-part finale to the 'Twilight' series is what fans have been anxiously awaiting for years. But what about those pesky rumors that the first couple of human-vampire angst got a little too R-rated while consummating their on-screen marriage for PG-13 audiences?

'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' won't be in theaters for another two months, but fans of Stieg Larsson's best-selling Millennium Trilogy are finally getting a taste of what the big-budget studio adaptation of the novels will be like. From that incredibly sexy poster and the mysterious viral marketing campaigns, to star Daniel Craig dropping f-bombs about making the very adult $100 million R-rated movie, and Rooney Mara rehashing her vomit-inducing audition for the female leading role, director David Fincher's 'Dragon Tattoo' sounds like it's living up to the intensity of the beloved books. Something co-star Goran Visnjic is only happy to confirm.

15 Things We Learned on the Set of 'The Green Hornet'

'The Green Hornet'Going green is about to get even cooler. Sure there's the environment and that 'Green Lantern' guy, but there's also Seth Rogen as newspaper heir Britt Reid, a.k.a. 'The Green Hornet' (releases Jan. 14, 2011).

This big budget comic book movie, now being tweaked for 3D, combines an unlikely hero (Rogen), an even more unlikely sidekick (barely bilingual Taiwanese actor Jay Chou plays Kato) and the unlikeliest of directors (master of the surreal Michel Gondry).

Of course there's also Cameron Diaz as the lady in Britt's life, the requisite villain played by 'Inglourious Basterds' Oscar winner Christoph Waltz and the piece de resistance, The Black Beauty.

After the Beauty was revealed at Comic-Con last year, I had a chance to get up close and personal with the heavily modernized and militarized '66 Chrysler Imperial when I visited the movie's L.A. set. We even got to cruise around downtown Culver City in it, leaving people with perplexed expressions and jaws agape in our rumbling engine's dust.

But the car might be one of the very few throwback elements. Even back in December, long before talks of 3D, Gondry, producer Neal Moritz, Waltz, Rogen and his writing/producing partner Evan Goldberg were adamant that their take will be far from what you expect, and like no other superhero flick you've seen.

Here's what else we dug up on the set ...

'Iron Man 2' Scoop from Robert Downey Jr., Director Jon Favreau & Marvel's Kevin Feige

The anticipation for 'Iron Man 2' is so insane, things were already getting heated among the masses waiting to see footage at Comic-Con. And that was almost a year ago ... and in the VIP line!

It's hard to believe that just a few short years ago, comic book fans were skeptical about seeing Tony Stark on the big screen; the Los Angeles Times even dubbed Iron Man the B-team of Marvel comic heroes. All it took was previewing a little bit of 'Iron Man' footage at the fan convention to convince people they'd done the franchise proud and had exceeded expectations. Judging by the reactions to 'Iron Man 2' trailers, photos and footage, this one will not disappoint either, no matter how much expectations have increased.

Moviefone visited the set of 'Iron Man 2' at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach back in June. We got to watch them filming an important scene in Tony Stark's journey -- inspecting a model of his father's 1974 Stark Expo to find the key to something powerful, with clues hidden in the layout -- and we got to chat with star Robert Downey Jr., director Jon Favreau and Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige.

She's not playing a hot hotel housekeeper, a no-nonsense wedding planner or a tough US Marshall -- in fact, Jennifer Lopez's latest role might be her most true-to-life yet.

In her first big screen work since giving birth to twins, Max and Emme, 'The Back-up Plan' finds Lopez playing Zoe, a woman so frustrated with trying to find true love that she opts to have a child without it, through artificial insemination ... only to meet the man of her dreams right after she becomes pregnant with twins.

Moviefone sat down with La Lopez to find out a little bit about 'The Back-up Plan,' why her hot costar Alex O'Loughlin isn't just another guy and how she can relate to her character Zoe.
