Melissa Rosenberg: Book to Movie

A FearNet Exclusive Interview with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg on 'New Moon,' Edward's Proposal, and 'Breaking Dawn':


Have you seen the final cut of New Moon yet?


I saw an early cut of it, yeah. . .

When I saw Chris’s cut, about ten minutes into the movie I started smiling. I thought to myself, I get to put my name on this. It was just so thrilling. It’s really good. I have to tell you, in all sincerity, it’s really good . . .



In your script for Twilight, you wrote in a number of direct quotes from Stephenie Meyer’s book. Can we expect the same in New Moon and Eclipse?


There are definitely some quotes sprinkled throughout. In some cases I’m paraphrasing, but I do try to include as many as I can. It’s very important. It brings the flavor of the book into the movie, so I definitely try to.



Fans want to know: Did the proposal scene make it into New Moon?


The proposal comes into the end of New Moon, and that is the first proposal. Absolutely in Eclipse, the proposal when they’re on the bed, yes -- to me, that was a quintessential scene from the book. When Edward gets on his knees, with his mother’s ring, and she says yes -- that was one of the most romantic scenes that Stephenie wrote in all four books.
