Melissa Rosenberg has the challenging task of including three leads and a large cast in the upcoming film version of “Breaking Dawn.” While at Comic-Con, she spoke to MTV about those challenges:
“It’s extremely challenging to introduce those new characters because you already have quite a slew of characters to service,” Rosenberg admitted of Meyer’s final book. “The Cullen family is large, the wolf family is large, you have three leads … finding room for all of them is a challenge. For me, it is about pulling forward the ones that are essential and really making sure they have a presence.”
She also emphasized that Jacob’s perspective won’t be axed from the movie, and we will “see Jacob’s perspective equally, so don’t worry.”
Rosenberg told MTV that she regularly checks her Facebook page for feedback from fans, so check it out and let her know what scenes you want to see most in “Breaking Dawn.”
The cast of the Twilight Saga movies have done many interviews since the days of promoting Twilight. Recently, Moviefone released a video dubbed the Best of Twilight Unscripted – a compilation of various interviews with the cast. Enjoy!

We all remember the Midnight Sun leak that occurred in Summer 2008. Today it made TIME’s list of the most famous leaks (they made the list in light of the US government document leak that occurred a few days ago). Here’s what they had to say about Midnight Sun:
In 2008, she tried something different (sort of) by retelling the events of the first books, only from Edward’s point of view. Sooner than you can say “glittering vampire,” 12 unfinished chapters from the new manuscript, Midnight Sun, appeared on the Internet. “I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being,” Meyer said in a message to fans. Rather than punish her loyal following, Meyer posted her entire unfinished Midnight Sun draft on her website. The only catch is that it’s unprintable — better bring an e-reader.

The Bookseller reports that the first book in the Twilight saga just passed 2 million sales in the United Kingdom. Significant, because it is one of only thirteen books to do so in the past 10 years:
Stephenie Meyer follows in the footsteps of J K Rowling, Dan Brown and Mark Haddon – the only other authors to have achieved the two-million-in-the-21st-century feat.
Last week, the book sold 16,672 copies in the UK, taking its total sales to date to 2,005,609. Just over £9.7m has been spent on the book since it was first published in the UK in 2006 – a year in which it sold just 1,684 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan data.

It looks like the news reported by E! Online yesterday is false. Gossip Cop spoke to Summit and a rep for Lee Pace and confirmed that no one has been cast and Lee has NOT been approached:
Gossip Cop suspected it was premature to call Pace — or anyone else — “thisclose” to the role, and it looks like we were right.
A production source tells Gossip Cop no one has been cast, and a rep for Pace informs us the actor has not been approached.
So while it’s certainly possible that Pace tops a current wish list for producers, Summit, or director Bill Condon — much like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s loose “connection” to Batman 3 — Pace’s casting shouldn’t be considered imminent.
E! Online is reporting that actor Lee Pace may be cast in Breaking Dawn. If true, he’d be the first new actor we’re learning about:
The character is described in the script as a tall, nomadic vampire with sandy hair that he keeps tied back with a leather thong. Garrett is also penned as being down-to-earth, laid-back, rugged and having a lightness and element of humor about him.
“Lee is the top person in the running to play Garrett in Breaking Dawn,” a source tells E! News.
As we all know, Bill Condon is directing both Breaking Dawn films, and according to our insider, is “hoping to take it in a more artsy direction.”
You can read more about the character Garrett here in our TwiDex. Thanks to Max for the tip!
MTV caught up with the Twilight saga screenwriter at this past week’s Comic Con in San Diego, where she revealed her hopes for the much-anticipated Breaking Dawn birth scene:
Fans have been most concerned with how Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) pivotal, not to mention traumatic, birthing scene will be portrayed in the movie, and Rosenberg said she and director Bill Condon are continually revising the script to make it work. Despite an earlier comment, she said the scene will be included, but the specifics of how it will be represented have not been solidified yet.
“I’ve written and continue to rewrite it, working on it with Bill Condon … He has a vision as well, but it’s kind of a shared vision I would say, but ultimately it comes down to, what does he actually want to see?” she said. “I know what I want to see, which is, I want to see the terror of the experience. I want to have the experience of the fear and feel her pain. I want to feel everyone’s pain in this.”
Melissa also reveals that she doesn’t think we’ll see Edward birthing Renesmee, among other interesting bits of information. Read much more at this link!
