Melissa Rosenberg Talks About Breaking Dawn

Melissa Rosenberg has been hired by Summit Entertainment to write for the adaptation of the Twilight, which was based on the first novel of the series of books by American author Stephenie Meyer, just before the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike. From then on, she was signed on to remain on the project despite having changes on the production crew on the Twilight franchise. And last week, Summit has announced that Breaking Dawn will be made into two films. Although the script is yet to be finished but Rosenberg already has an idea on what will be seen on the first part, which has been scheduled to be shown in November 18, 2011, and on the second half, which the release date is yet to be announced.
She revealed during a press conference a few days ago in Beverly Hills a few details on what parts will be seen on each of the movies. She said, “Nothing has actually been decided, but the natural split is somewhere between she’s human in movie one, she’s a vampire [in movie two].” She continued, “She’s human and pregnant in one; she’s a vampire and a parent in two. Bill Condon has been looking at that from a visual standpoint, so that’s natural. That said, there’s a lot of room about where that moment is.”
She also revealed her thoughts regarding Breaking Dawn and how Meyer handled the way the story went and the plight of the characters. She told them, “It was a very bold move, what Stephenie did and where she took her characters. She had them grow and get married and have children and realize her ultimate potential of becoming a vampire.” But she also acknowledged that some fans were not happy with how things ended. She commented, “It was a very bold move. I think it lost some of the audience who wanted to continue the other things, the fantasies and the desire. Now, she’s got it all, and what do you do with it?”
But she was happy and thrilled about where the story went and would give her enough material to work on to turn one novel into two movies. She added, “So, it’s a very different kind of movie, I think, and a very different kind of story. I think there’s definitely material enough for two movies in these books, but there’s also, for the first time, a little breathing room. There’s room to explore a little bit and to expand. I’m excited about that.”
But Breaking Dawn will have to wait because Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be shown first in theaters this June 30, and you also have a chance to Watch Eclipse online.
