New interview: Melissa Rosenberg Wrestling With ‘Breaking Dawn’ Battle Scene!

MTV caught up with Breaking Dawn movie screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg on the Emmy red carpet at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles August 29th. Melissa admitted that her biggest challenge has been prepping the final battle scene. She always talks about filming in Brazil, and much more!!This is getting So exciting!!

“They’re coming along,” Rosenberg said. “I just flew in last night from working with ['Dawn' director] Bill Condon, prepping the scripts. It’s a lot of work, I’m exhausted,” she added. Rosenberg also revealed that she’s between 75 and 80 percent finished with the two screenplays. “But we’re intent on making them the best scripts yet.”

Regarding the biggest challenge she faces in finishing “Dawn,” parts 1 and 2, Rosenberg said it’s the climactic “battle scene” — in which the two opposing vampire groups face off in dramatic fashion at the end of the book — that’s proving to be her biggest obstacle, rather than the infamous “birth scene”.

“The final battle sequence is a big challenge because it lasts 25 pages,” Rosenberg told us. “It’s almost an entire three-act story in and of itself. You have to track (kept all in one setting) hundreds of characters. It’s an enormous challenge to choreograph on the page and for Bill to choreograph on the stage.”
