Melissa Rosenberg talks screenwriting with The Seattle Times
Posted by Pamela on March 18th, 2010 | Comments (1)

The Seattle Times has a new Q&A with Twilight Saga screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg. In it, Rosenberg discussed everything from working closely with author Stephenie Meyer and why she thinks girls are able to relate to Bella, to how she “taps into that angst-ridden state” when adapting the Twilight Series for the big screen.

“I never write for teenagers…The minute you start trying to capture some sort of jargon or whatever is hip now, you’re already outdated, by the time it hits the screen…It really is about finding character and emotional truth, rather than something current or edgy.”

The screenwriter also weighed in on the rumored directors being considered for the final installment of the Twilight Saga, “Breaking Dawn.”

Rosenberg said that there isn’t one specific director being considered at this point but above all, the thing you want in a Twilight Saga director is someone who is both comfortable with working with special effects and “isn’t afraid to dive into an established franchise.”

“It’s got to be intimidating to come into an already running show with such an avid fan base.” said Rosenberg.

“…You’re like “Wow, what if they hate me?” We all have to deal with that.”
