Melissa Rosenberg has revealed that she listens to the opinions of the Twilight fans when she is penning the scripts for the movies.
She is currently working on the scripts for breaking Dawn, which will be split into two movies, the fourth book to be adapted for the big screen.
Speaking to iesb: I have a fan site on Facebook, and it’s good to check in with them and see what’s important to them. With Breaking Dawn, they’ll say something like, 'This scene has to be in there, and it has to be about this. It’s got to have this moment.'
If enough of them are weighing in about that, then I’m like, 'Okay.' More often than not, 95% of the time, the scene is already going to be in there because, if it was important to them, it was as important to me, as a reader. So, that’s actually really helpful.
But, what I have to be careful of are the haters. People are very passionate about these books. They’re angry or frustrated about the fact that every moment and every word isn’t there.
I can’t bring every word to the screen, and I think it would be a fairly dull movie if I did because it’s just a different medium. But, a large number of the fans are able to allow that the book is the book and the movie is the movie.
"It doesn’t have to be either/or. You don’t have to be Team Movie or Team Book. You can have both. Both can exist in the universe and you can appreciate both. I think enough people have allowed for that, thank god.
