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.

thats kind of cool that the same script writer is in the 2 movies but not the same director
ok all i cant think is that rob looks super hot in that pic
thinkin its the smile
Damn. Rob looks super hot in that picture. His smile is sooo… *faints*
do you guys think they’re going to have her write the screenplay for eclipse and breaking dawn??
I really like the picture of them. Rob and Kristen look genuinely happy I love it. And i hope she does write the screenplay because Twilight was amazing, that’s why we’re here.
ROBSTEN 4 EVAH!!!!!!
I heard Stephenie Meyer is going to co-write the Breaking Dawn Script with Melissa!!! YAY!!!!!
She originally started the Twilight screenplay with a comedic edge? Really?? The saga is not comedic. Stephenie Meyers created an amazing saga with Twilight. Melissa Rosenberg could have and should have written a better screenplay. What was the purpose of that biology field trip? The blood typing scene in the book was much better. It set us up for the love and protection Edward had for Bella and the trust Bella had for Edward. Hopefully, New Moon and Eclipse will be amazing because all she has to do is follow the story line. I do hope SM helps with the Breaking Dawn screenplay.
i think that rob looks so hot in that picture! I want it, ha.
Ok i love Robsten but i don’t thing hat they will exist
i can’t seem to take my eyes off of Rob….the guys hot…
I couldn’t figure out what was off with the picture until I realized that kristen was smiling! a rare sight indeed. Rob..hot as always.
oh jeez plz dont get started with robsten again. besides the fact that it soudns ridiculous…. kristen is a REAL person (and so is rob). if u really like them, then give them the respect that they deserve as actors, not as characters. they arent zac and vanessa. they arent going to date… get over it. its quite rude
OMG rob is so fine in the pic! Eeeeppp
Hey, Trekkie+Twilighter, I couldn’t agree more! Like, seriously, guys, they’re not dating, and even if they were, that would be their business, not everyone elses.
