Melissa Rosenberg: Renesmee’s Birth Will Be “Pretty Intense” in BREAKING DAWN

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson in David Slade‘s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

The Twilight Saga screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has been quoted as saying that "we’re working on it to be as intense as it is in the book." (Via eonline.com.)

"It," of course, is Renesmee’s birth sequence, during which Bella suffers and bleeds and suffers some more and bleeds buckets more so as to give birth to a daughter that is part human, part vampire in Stephenie Meyer‘s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

"I don’t think it’s about the amount of blood you show," Rosenberg added. "It’s about the intensity of it. It’s on their faces. It’s all from Bella’s point of view when you’re seeing what’s going [on]. It should feel visceral. I think it’s going to be pretty intense."

Kristen Stewart will play Renesmee’s nearly-broken-to-smithereens mother, Robert Pattinson the concerned father, Taylor Lautner the imprinting "protector" and potential future boyfriend.

Come to think of it, considering how fast Renesmee grows in the novel, it shouldn’t take very long for the werewolf to pair up with the human-vampire freak — except that there won’t be The Twilight Saga: High Noon for the Jacob-Renesmee romance to blossom.

Now, everyone talks about the birth scene, even though I believe that for a director and/or screenwriter the most difficult part of the Breaking Dawn adaptation will be the last section of the book — the extended confrontation between good and bad vampires, which ends (spoilers ahead) rather anticlimactically.

Bill Condon will be directing Breaking Dawn, to be split into two parts. I’d be very surprised if Part I doesn’t end à la Avatar, with a closeup of Bella’s crimson eyes after the transformation has taken place following Renesmee’s birth.

According to the eonline.com report, Rosenberg has been in Baton Rouge working with Condon on rewrites.
