Lionsgate has announced that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Extended Edition with contain eight minutes of never-before-seen footage, when it is released as a Blu-ray Disc, DVD and Digital Download on Saturday, March 2, 2013. Director Bill Condon himself selected the eight minutes of new and extended scenes added back into the film. Condon will also provide an optional audio commentary. "As Twilight series devotees know, there was a lot of ground to cover in adapting Breaking Dawn to the screen," said Condon.  "Between the wedding, the honeymoon, the birth, and everything in between, naturally there were things that didn't make it into our final cut.  But I wanted to make sure that for all the Twihards out there, there was a chance to see some of these cut scenes – several of which are fan favorites from the book." The Blu-ray and DVD will both feature the original theatrical version as well as the all-new extended edition.
