Breaking Dawn: Part 2 Narrowly Escapes R Rating (Full Story: Los Angeles Times)

Millions of young people are getting stoked for Friday's release of Twilight:  Breaking Dawn - Part 2.  BUT some of them almost didn't get a chance to see it.

Director Bill Condon says, quote, "Certainly, with any other movie, there are a thousand ways to kill people.  With this one, it's a variation on the same theme. If they were going to be offended by the idea of beheadings, we would have had no movie."

Ultimately, some cuts were made, and the movie hits theaters Friday with a PG-13 rating.
