Fans of the �Twilight� films are going to have a little added story to sink their teeth into.
The previous movie adaptations of Stephanie Meyer�s vamp-lit juggernaut have gone pretty much by the book, but with the final novel �Breaking Dawn� being broken into two feature films, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg tells PopcornBiz she�s enjoying a little more leeway to add some fangy flourishes of her own.
�I did actually [get to do that], because we got to fill out the story because we're doing the next two movies,� said Rosenberg. �So there was room to play and expand on some of the characters that Stephanie introduces. That was a lot of fun.�
�It's a much more grownup movie � It's an adult story,� the writer said of evolving the franchise beyond its high school origins. �The stakes are raised even higher because it's not the story of teens. It's the stories of grownups, so we're talking about marriage and children and family � and these are pretty grownup things, but sexy.�
If you haven�t read the books, beware of the SPOILER up ahead.
Rosenberg says the highlight of the story will be seeing Kristen Stewart�s character Bella become a vampire at long last. �Kristen gets to make the transformation and that is going to be so exciting to see. [Director] Bill [Condon] and I talked about it in developing this script and the screenplay. Now she's going to embody it. It's going to be so great.�
Rosenberg, who penned all of the �Twilight� films and previously wrote for Showtime�s �Dexter,� hasn�t quite adjusted to the fact that, minus a few rewrites, her bloody good run is coming to a close.
�It's a shocking experience after four years to not be writing �Twilight!�� she said.
