Melissa Rosenberg intervju!

Lovely! :D

You may not know her by name, but you certainly know her work.

Melissa Rosenberghas adapted the popular ”Twilight” series of novels for the silver screen. Besides romance of the werewolf and vampire kind, the 47-year-old screenwriter is very familiar with teenage crushes and angst, having written and produced coming-of-age TV shows like ”Party of Five” and ”The OC.”

Rosenberg makes an appearance at Bothell’s Fred Meyer for the ”New Moon” DVD release tonight. She took time from her busy schedule to talk about the series.

Q: What was the adaptation process like?

A: I’m working with great source material actually. … Probably, the biggest challenge was finding ways … to externalize Bella’s internal experience and make it visual.

Q: What is it that makes Bella relatable? I mean, many girls would kill to have her problem!

A: Here is this everyday girl … clumsy, awkward, socially inept, all these things, yet this extraordinary boy sees what’s extraordinary about her. … All of us has that yearning, that longing, whatever is special about us, to be seen, loved and cherished. She is living out our dreams.

Rob, Kris, Tay & Melissa nominerade…

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner OCH Melissa Rosenberg är alla nominerade för en Razzie Award! Och för första gången i världshistorien känns det som man säger detta; HUR TÄNKTE DE!?

Golden Raspberry Awards, eller Razzies, är en prisutdelning som startades 1980 av John Wilson. Första prisutdelningen skedde 1981. Prisutdelningen kan ses som en motpol till Oscarsgalan, då man delar ut priser till årets sämsta insatser i filmvärlden. Ytterst sällan närvarar de nominerade stjärnorna och regissörerna på galan.

Nu kanske ni förstår lite bättre till varför jag är förvånad!? :O

Intervju med Melissa Rosenberg!

Här kommer en intervju med Melissa Rosenberg som är kvinnan som ligger bakom manuset till alla filmerna i The twilight saga.

ET: What can you tell us about ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse’?

Melissa Rosenberg: It becomes bigger in scope. The first film was really a small romance in a way. There was the battle with James (Cam Gigandet) at the end. That was as big as it got. With ‘New Moon,’ we have the werewolf clan, we have the Vulturi — and in ‘Eclipse,’ there is an epic battle, so with every book, with every episode of the movie, it gets grander in scope, which is fun to write. What was great about that, too, is with the small story and the characters … to be able to grow with it and track it through, it has really been a great pleasure.

ET: Are you writing for the chemistry between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart?

Melissa Rosenberg: When I wrote ‘Twilight,’ I didn’t know who was starring in it, so I wrote in a vacuum. There was some rewriting that had to be done when we knew who they were, because I had started with more of a comedic edge and it wasn’t appropriate for those actors and the tone. I lean toward the dark comedy, witness ”Dexter.” So, going into ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse,’ I knew who I was writing for. I knew who the characters were and what their voices were. It got even easier with ‘Eclipse.’ [Author] Stephenie Meyer‘s created the character’s chemistry; and those two actors brought so much chemistry. I don’t think the movies would have been so successful without those two actors and their chemistry. ‘Twilight’ was beautifully cast.

ET: What was the set of ‘New Moon’ like?

Melissa Rosenberg: ‘New Moon’ was one of the happiest sets I have ever been on. The guy who picked me up, said, ”This is a great set. [Director] Chris Weitz is a genius. It is so wonderful.” I was, ”Okay, dude, you are overselling.” But I got on the set and it was just delightful. You can tell when it is uncomfortable and they are not connecting. Chris Weitz is just a Zen master. I went to him and I was, ”You are so cool and calm. And everyone is so cool and calm.” He said, ”You have no idea what it is going to cost me.” My husband is a director and I know what it costs him. You have to tamp down every ounce of panic and frustration in order to project this calmness. I hope Chris got a good vacation between production and post.

ET: What do you think of the recasting of Rachelle Lefevre?

Melissa Rosenberg: I love Rachelle, but Bryce Dallas Howard? It was a shame, but I think Rachelle will go on to do brilliant things. I just love her. I am sure Bryce will be great.

ET: There is a fourth book. Will the franchise continue?

Melissa Rosenberg: I can’t imagine Summit letting that go. Right now we are focused on ‘Eclipse.’ We are just about to start. I imagine there will be discussions.

Melissa Rosenberg berättar lite om Rachelles sista scen i New Moon

New series director Chris Weitz, however, gave Rosenberg permission to get away from Bella’s point of view a few times — most notably in a scene where we’ll get a glimpse of the evil vampire’s road trip. “I was able to explore what Victoria was up to,” Rosenberg revealed. “And at one point, we cut away to Victoria driving really fast in a car.”

When any of us are driving a long way, we might swing into a 7-Eleven and grab a Gatorade, some Flamin’ Hot Cheetos or a Slim Jim. Victoria, however, prefers human flesh.

“She took a snack with her,” laughed Rosenberg, making reference to Victoria’s latest victim. “And she’s reminiscing about her days with James. I loved writing that scene.”
