When dealing with a franchise that incites hysteria on the level of The Twilight Saga, it’s best to ease into the filmic reveal, as Summit is doing with Breaking Dawn.  First a photo from the set for Christmas.  Turn up the heat with a sexy still of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.  Then simmer down with the image we have today: a photo from Isle Esme, the picturesque site of Bella and Edward’s honeymoon.
