Melissa Rosenberg Comments on ‘Breaking Dawn’ Trailer

 

Via Latimesblog

Upon release of the full “Breaking Dawn” trailer, the Ministry had a tough decision to make: Let our heads explode with all the Edward-Bella-Jacob shenanigans, or call our friend Melissa Rosenberg for some insight.

We chose the latter. “The Twilight Saga” screenwriter, entrusted to adapt Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series for the big screen, clued us in on her favorite moments from the new clip. Such as:

Ever after: Rosenberg was pleased that the trailer in part indicated that this film is about a marriage. “It teases the fact that this a story about … a marriage going through some unusual stresses ….  At one point in the movie there’s a line where Edward says, ‘They say the first year is the hardest.’ It’s very funny.”

Jacob’s heartbreak: We were struck by Jacob’s emotional goodbye to human Bella, as he knows she’ll soon be promoted to Edward’s immortal beloved. Rosenberg says that scene resonates more than we know. “It’s a really sweet moment, and it’s the moment the film turns. It turns into a horror film,” she said. Speaking of which ….

The horror: Robert Pattinson’s previous comments that Bill Condon was making a horror movie were ominous, and the trailer in fact reflects terrible times ahead for the residents of Forks, Wash. “We’re beginning to get into the second half of the film, which turns more into a horror story. The images of Bella — trust me, it only gets more intense,” Rosenberg says.

What you never expected to see: If some footage surprises fans, or doesn’t conjure memories from Meyer’s books, Rosenberg understands. “I think fans may be a little freaked out. There’s some conflict with the wolves that they may not remember — there’s a lot of conflict in the book that’s resolved with a conversation and we only hear about it. For this movie I was able to play off of that,” she said.

Melissa Rosenberg At The 2010 New Yorker Festival: “The Vampire Revival” Coverage + Pics

Dispatches from the New Yorker Festival.

VAMPIRES VERSUS ZOMBIES

Forget vampires, zombies, and blood-soaked prom-goers—Stephen King’s earliest memory of horror films was the forest fire scene in “Bambi.”

“The Disney pictures are scary as shit,” he announced on Saturday afternoon at the “The Vampire Revival.”

His fellow panelists agreed: Melissa Rosenberg, who’s adapted Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” books for the screen, added “Fantasia,” and Matt Reeves, the director of “Let Me In” and “Cloverfield,” admitted that he always had to close his eyes during the “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride. But the subject at hand wasn’t forest creatures or animatronic drunks. Noël Carroll, a CUNY professor and author of “The Philosophy of Horror,” and moderator and staff writer Joan Acocella joined this group to discuss sex, gore, and the characters on which they usually intersect these days: vampires.

When Stephen King released “Salem’s Lot” in 1975, vampires were so out of fashion that the publisher didn’t want to mention them on the jacket flap. In recent decades, a few pop-culture phenomenon—“Buffy” a decade ago, “Twilight” now—have brought waves of fans (read: teen-age girls) back to the genre.

These vampires are lost souls, Carroll said, the type that women long to make their “projects.” The sex, King pointed out, is invariably adolescent—“they just want to bite the girl’s neck”—and Rosenberg elaborated: the self-loathing Edward from “Twilight” is “actually very safe, because of his own morality.” King asked if there was a parallel between maintaining abstinence and not wanting to suck her blood? Rosenberg didn’t miss a beat: “Absolutely.”

Melissa Rosenberg “Immersed in the world of Breaking Dawn”

Via Melissa Rosernberg’s Facebook Account

Hi Y’all! Sorry I haven’t checked in for a while. Been immersed in the world of Breaking Dawn. I’ve been working very closely with our director Bill Condon, whose input has been SO great. He understands story, structure and character as only a fellow writer can, but he also has fantastic visual ideas. And he’s not… shying away from anything! Sex, birth, feathers, blood… it’s all in there. More later! xoxo Mel
