Fearnet has a new interview with screenwriter of Twilight, New Moon,
and Eclipse movies, Melissa Rosenberg!

You’ve added a few scenes to New Moon that weren’t in the book, like the one where Jacob gives Bella a gift of a dream catcher. Can you tell us about that?

Actually, I got the idea from a writer friend of mine. I was searching around for that moment… You had to establish the relationship between Bella and Jacob; he can give her gifts and Edward can’t. The sort of easy friendship with the two of them, and yet also, show that Jacob actually has feelings for her. He sort of casually presents the dream catcher, but really he’s shopped around for it for quite a while. I wanted it to be something that was special to him and his culture, and it was so thematic to Bella; the movie is laden with her dreams. Her dream life is a very rich part of the film. So thematically, it really blended well. I thank my friend for coming up with that.

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.

Seth has updated StephenieMeyer.com with a reminder of all the cool new Twilight Saga: New Moon stuff that’s coming out! Hitting the shelves TOMORROW is The Twilight Saga: New Moon–The Official Illustrated Movie Companion, SWEET!

Hey. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Stephenie’s publishers asked me to remind everyone that there are a few new editions and titles going on sale in the next few days:

* The first one actually has been on sale for about three weeks already (I forgot to post a reminder…sorry): The Twilight Saga: New Moon Movie Tie-in. This is no different from the original New Moon except for the cool cover art.

* The second goes on sale tomorrow, October 6, 2009: The Twilight Saga: New Moon–The Official Illustrated Movie Companion. I have not seen this book yet, but the Twilight edition was very impressive. It is a great way to get even more excited about the movie (only 45 days left!)

* Finally, next week (October 13th) we have two more items going on sale: New Moon Collector’s Edition (to match the Twilight Collector’s Edition) and The Twilight Journals, both of which would make good gifts, in my opinion.

If at any time in the future you would like to find one of these titles or even one of Stephenie’s recommendations, you can go to our Amazon aStore. Everything is in one place, and I do my best to keep it up-to-date.
