"Birth Scene is as intense as the book" Says Rosenberg

Melissa Rosenberg stated previously that she can write the birth scene with less gore while keeping the intensity of the scene overall. This mere statement sent Twihards into a frenzy, calling for absolute "by the book" coverage. Other Twifans were excited, as they didn't find the birth scene all that exciting, and found it more "over the top". Rosenberg might have discovered a way to please both groups, keeping the raw emotion of the moment, while making it more palatable for the viewer.


Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg tells me she’s been in Baton Rouge with director Bill Condon doing rewrites for the scripts for the two BD movies.
“We’re working on it,” Rosenberg says of baby Renesmee’s less-than-pretty arrival. “And we’re working on it to be as intense as it is in the book.”
Yikes. That could be a whole lotta gore.
“I don’t think it’s about the amount of blood you show,” Rosenberg says. “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. It should feel visceral. I think it’s going to be pretty intense.”

What’s Rosenberg’s ETA on the final scripts? “It better damn well be before the beginning of November,” she says, “because that’s when we start shooting.”

  1. yeah i am nervous about this part... this is THE part for me in the books, I don't think anyone on the planet could play it out like my mind did in the books. It better be SUPER intense... hell "intense" doesn't even seem intense enough for me :D
    And if she DOES make it that good... is it going to turn into a redo like Jacob/bella's kiss?! They needed to "less intense" it for the tween group :(

  2. Ugh it's my favorite scene of the entire series, so I'm almost nauseous thinking about it!!!!! There is no scene that compares to how I feel about the emotional intensity like that very scene.
