Reelz Channel interviewed Melissa Rosenberg and they have a great discussion about Twilight and New Moon then of course they delve into the upcoming love triangle in Eclipse.  Enjoy her discussion about the “Tent” scene.  Apparently, it wasn’t just a “must” for the fans.  There was an even bigger influencer in regards to making sure that scene was in the movie!

Can you imagine the pressure of being the screenwriter for the Twilight Saga?  Really?  I mean, just think of what would happen to Melissa Rosenberg if she didn’t stay as close to the books as possible.  Can you fathom the lashing she would receive from the fans?  Thankfully, it’s not something she needs to worry about because New Moon hit upon every important point in the book (in my oh-so-humble opinion) and from the information shared in this interview it sounds like she has kept true to the story for Eclipse.  Check out Melissa talking about flashback stories for Rosalie and Jasper and some detail on what she wrote for the fans!

Thanks to EclipseMovie for the footage!

MakingOf.com did an exclusive interview with Melissa Rosenberg (screenwriter for Twilight, New Moon AND Eclipse) and Wyck Godfrey (Producer of Twilight, New Moon AND Eclipse).  It’s not everyday you get a look into the mind of the person who wrote the script based on the books!  Fantastic insight from both!

Makes you feel a little closer to everything!  Thanks to NewMoonMovie for posting these interviews!!

Notes from Melissa Rosenberg (my hero) on the set of New Moon. Thanks Twilight Gossip!

Melissa Rosenberg’s notes on Twilight Gossip:

E! Online brings tidings of great joy from screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who tells Twilighters:

Even though Edward Cullen may not be in the New Moon novel as much as he is in the others, she promised we’ll be seeing plenty of the Brit actor in the flick, which is currently shooting in Vancouver with director Chris Weitz.

“In the book, he’s actually an enormous presence in [Bella’s] mind,” Rosenberg said. “He’s so present in her mind throughout the entire center of the book, so we really played off that, and it kept him alive in a slightly different way, but fans will feel it’s true to the book. You can’t have a Twilight without Rob Pattinson.”

And Rosenberg says you also can’t have a Twilight movie with anything more adult than a PG-13 rating. She has yet to be hired to write the script for the fourth, Breaking Dawn, but she thinks it’s safe to assume the book’s more graphic violent scenes will be tailored to keep it accessible for Twilight’s teen moviegoing audience.

“Our fans are in the PG age range, and I don’t feel a big necessity to see violence, and to see gore,” Rosenberg said. “I don’t need to see that. This whole series is more about their relationship. It’s not about the gore. I mean, there are some scary and special elements to it, but the series is really about relationships and coming of age and owning one’s power.”

Note: Dammit. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out!

Melissa Rosenburg, screenwriter for “Twilight,” “New Moon,” and the upcoming “Eclipse,” will be hanging out at the L.A. Festival of Books today.

Here are the deets:

Where: The LATimes Festival of Books is being held at UCLA, 405 Hilgard Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024.

When: Saturday, April 25th at 2:00PM

Where EXACTLY: Writers Guild Foundation booth, Zone D, Booth #441.

More information: Festival of Books’ website.

Melissa will be selling scripts for $20 with proceeds going to the Writers Guild Foundation’s outreach programs.

“Twilight” fans and their mothers are expected to be present at the event this weekend, crowding the UCLA campus with excitement and curiosity. Getting the opportunity to meet the very-sweet Melissa and have her sign copies of the screenplay is sure to be worth a trip to Westwood this weekend.

The signing is also a great opportunity to ask Melissa all the “New Moon” questions you have that we bloggers can’t yet answer!

Oh, and if you DO go and get some goods, be sure and send me the info!

Though The Wrap reported yesterday:
With the sequel to the blockbuster hit “New Moon” now filming in Vancouver and its sequel, “Eclipse,” already deep in the planning stages, an individual close to the production has told TheWrap that work on the fourth and final in the series, “Breaking Dawn,” will start in late spring 2010.

Melissa Rosenburg, the main source and goddess of Twilight script writing, has squelched that theory:
“The most I’ve heard from Summit is ‘re-read it and start thinking about it,’” says Rosenberg, who is completing her show-running duties on the fourth season of the Showtime series Dexter. More telling, she hasn’t yet received one of the manifestos Meyer famously puts together before Rosenberg begins turning one of her books into a movie. Another source is also skeptical that Summit is far along in developing a fourth film. “As far as I know, Stephenie was still having meetings asking, ‘Can we really make this into a movie?’”

I’m having those same questions- HOW can Breaking Dawn be made into a movie?
