Breaking Dawn

Exclusive: Twilight Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg Shares Her Vision For Breaking Dawn and Just How Gory It Will Be!

Now that Eclipse has hit theaters and broken box office records, Twilight fans are already anxiously awaiting the next onscreen chapter in Bella and Edward's love story: Breaking Dawn.

Now that Eclipse has hit theaters and broken box office records, Twilight fans are already anxiously awaiting the next onscreen chapter in Bella and Edward's love story: Breaking Dawn. We talked exclusively to Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter behind all of the Twilight films, to find out what we can expect from the final two installments. She weighed in on whether or not Bella's childbirth scene will make it to the screen, shared her most surprising fan moment, and dished on her creative relationship with Stephenie Meyer.

Melissa will be speaking in LA at the Writer's Guild Foundation on Tuesday evening — tune into a livestream here. In the meantime, check out our all-new exclusive interview with her here now.

PopSugar: How did you feel about the decision to split Breaking Dawn into two movies?
Melissa Rosenberg: Relief, actually, because it was going to be quite a challenge to condense such a large book into one movie. That's always the challenge with all of these and, more so, Breaking Dawn. Having a little more room to breathe is nice . . . on the other hand, there's also the challenge of making sure there's enough to fill two movies.

PS: We've heard there are some scenes you want to avoid showing on screen in Breaking Dawn. For example, Bella giving birth. Can you tell us why?
MR: That was a misquote. The childbirth — all the scenes, I feel — should be on screen. I think perhaps what I was referring to was, would we actually see Edward's teeth through the placenta? I don't think so. I don't think we need to see that, and if someone needs to see that, I think they should take a look at that. [Laughs.] I believe it will be implied, but I don't think we'll see teeth in the placenta.

Alexander Skarsgard

Alexander Skarsgard Is Hot, Green, and Your True Blood Favorite

Alexander Skarsgard carried his plane reading as he arrived at LAX on Saturday and met up with Kate Bosworth for a trip to Bristol Farms on Sunday.

Alexander Skarsgard carried his plane reading as he arrived at LAX on Saturday and met up with Kate Bosworth for a trip to Bristol Farms on Sunday. His choice of books, Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution — and How It Can Renew America, shows this handsome actor is more than just a pretty face. He's currently focusing on his film work and hanging out with Kate after wrapping up the most recent season of True Blood. Buzz was bummed when Alexander and his castmates didn't get Emmy nominations for acting, though True Blood is up for best dramatic series, which hopefully means he'll attend the big show. Last night's episode left Eric in a tricky situation, and it seems like you're all rooting for him since he's far and away your favorite character.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen made Benjamin's doctor's appointment a family affair in Santa Monica today. They're taking advantage of Tom's time left in LA before he has to head to Boston for football season, and he's been amping up his workouts on the West Coast. Gisele's similarly committed to fitness — though she's facing some tougher competition up against Marisa Miller in round two of our bikini bracket — amid all her time with Tom and Ben. The couple celebrated Ben's christening last month and also started furniture shopping for their LA home that's currently under construction.
