'Twilight Saga' screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg claims 'The Twilight Saga's New Moon' and 'The Twilight Saga's Eclipse' become 'bigger in scope' than 'Twilight'.
Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter for
Kristen Stewart's "
Twilight" and its sequels, reveals more details of upcoming "
The Twilight Saga's New Moon" and "
The Twilight Saga's Eclipse". "It becomes bigger in scope," Rosenberg tells ET about the second and third installments of the vampire drama films.
"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," she explains further. "With 'New Moon,' we have the werewolf clan, we have the Volturi -- 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."
Asked how she writes about the chemistry between
Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen and Stewart's Bella Swan, the 47-year-old writer answers, "When I wrote 'Twilight,' I didn't know who was starring in it, so I wrote in a vacuum." Then, Rosenberg continues, "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," Rosenberg tells . "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."
