Warning! Spoilers are enumerated below so if you did not read the book yet then you may stay out of the remaining part of this article. There are lots of speculations on how “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” will be adapted. Especially on the trademark scenes which the fans are surely waiting for, there can be disappointments if the screenwriter fails to deliver.
In June, The Twilight Saga screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg spoke about the graphic nature of the birthing scene in Breaking Dawn: “…All the comments are ‘It has to be R rated! You have to show the childbirth! Gore and guts and sex!’ For me it’s actually more interesting to not see it. You know, you can do childbirth without seeing childbirth … it doesn’t mean it’s any less evocative of an experience.”
Now, she’s clarified her statement in an interview with PopSugar: “The childbirth — all the scenes, I feel — should be on screen. I think perhaps what I was referring to was, would we actually see Edward’s teeth through the placenta? I don’t think so. I don’t think we need to see that, and if someone needs to see that, I think they should take a look at that. [Laughs.] I believe it will be implied, but I don’t think we’ll see teeth in the placenta,” she said.
Also on Rosenberg’s agenda for the fourth Twilight movie is Bella’s transformation into a vampire: “I think seeing Bella as a vampire and her adjusting to her powers and embracing them, those are all really fun scenes to write. Particularly when you picture Kristen Stewart playing her, and the way she’s embodied Bella as a sort of awkward, fidgety persona. When she turns into a vampire, all of that goes away.”
