Twilight Screenwriter: �Is it High Art? No. But It�s Not Trying to Be.�

Photobucket
Meet Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter to blame/thank for Twilight scripts. Turns out she�s quasi-skeptical about the whole thing. Regarding teen romance: �I�ve done it to death,� she tells The Wall Street Journal�pun, we�re going to guess, unintended.
Rosenberg is an alum of Dexter, which we�ve heard is terrific, and the genuinely extraordinary first season of The O.C., and has no delusions about the relative quality of the vampire-movie franchise. The films �are not trying to be Gandhi. Is it high art? No. But it�s not trying to be.� To recap: Twilight: not Gandhi. Anyway, the affable, talented Rosenberg is not the subject of most anti-Twilight ire�that honor belongs to the author of the series, Stephenie Meyer, she who inspired �The Twilight Series Sucks & Stephenie Meyer Is A Terrible Writer� Facebook group.
