MTV: Melissa Rosenberg On ‘Trying To Find Room’ For All Characters
Posted by Nim

“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.”

Naturally, Rosenberg didn’t say specifically which characters would or would not appear in the films, but simply that she hopes “all of them will be there in one shape or another.” . . .

She added that the fan interaction has helped her to squash any out-of-control Internet-generated rumors about her “Dawn” scripts. “At one point, [the fans] were upset because they had gotten the impression that I was choosing not to put the birthing scene in the script, and I was able to go online and say, ‘I don’t know where that idea came from, but of course the birthing scene is going to be in.’ ” Another Net-generated rumor, according to Rosenberg, is that she won’t include the Book of Jacob in the final film. “I don’t know where that idea came from, but that is not true,” she confirmed. “We are going to see Jacob’s perspective equally, so don’t worry.”

I have an idea, instead of crowding the BD films with all the extra characters, why not just put in Edward and more Edward?
The extra characters are dull and boring anyway.

@Auj: How about No. Everyone needs equal share of screen time. I am glad Jacob’s book is in it because I love the interactions between Rose and him. And how Alice cozys up to him to help her headaches. Cute ^_^

Trying to find room? shes got two movies to fit all the characters in. The Harry Potter films are loaded with new characters all the time. Arg- Its just so frustrating to hear her talk about how she has to “fit” it all in. I sometimes think..how would these films be if they had a different screenwriter?

You know what else? Apparently the whole cast knew for a while that these movies were gong to be made and be two films. Why does it seem like she is always working on things last min? I also just dont like the woman. Smug comes to mind when I see her.

What do I want to see?

Him biting her all over her body. She in pain, yelling screaming, bones cracking. When he tries to resesutate her… I want that. To show his persistance and how Jacob walked away and was pulled towards Renesmee.
Something close to the book please. :)

How can there not be enough room to fit all the characters in?! She has two movies to work with…as long as she has equal amounts of the cullens and the pack in each movie it should be fine. Something close to the book would be good instead of going off and doing something she thinks would be the best for the movie
