Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter for the upcoming “Breaking Dawn” films, has put Twi-hard worries at rest — all the appropriate scenes will be steamy.

“There will be sex scenes – multiple sex scenes,” Melissa told Access Hollywood of the upcoming romance between Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her love, vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), as she hit the red carpet on Thursday night for “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” premiere.

“There will be feathers,” she added of Bella and Edward’s between-the-sheets moments, which involves the vamp biting a pillow.

Melissa said she is also putting in another scene devoted Twi-hards will be eager to see. (SPOILER ALERT for those who haven’t read the book!)

“There will be a child birth scene,” she added.

Previously, Kristen told Access she was curious about what the baby between Bella and Edward would look like and when asked if the little one would have baby Dracula teeth, Melissa suggested it was possible.

“I suggest she may,” Melissa smiled.

Melissa said she was hard at work on the script, and noted how far along she is.

“I am in the middle of ‘Breaking Dawn,’” she said. “I was doing ‘Breaking Dawn’ this morning and I will do ‘Breaking Dawn’ tomorrow morning. It’s right deep in the middle.”

In this interview, Kristen confirms that ‘Breaking Dawn’ will have three directors. Enjoy!

Summit Entertainment has denied reports that a decision has been made to split the fourth “Twilight” novel “Breaking Dawn” into two movies. But if the studio is planning to move forward with that plan, its lawyers should get busy locking in that cast first.

We’ve learned that no talent deals are in place with the principal actors to return for a fifth movie. And they’re not even close, we’re told. That means neither Kristen Stewart nor Robert Pattinson nor Taylor Lautner has yet signed on to a supersized “Breaking Dawn.”

That doesn’t mean it won’t happen, of course. After lengthy negotiations once “Twilight” became an international sensation, the stars are currently locked for the third movie (already finished and set for release in June) and a fourth to be filmed in the fall. But if Summit wants to extend the production schedule on “Breaking Dawn” and split it in two that will require a new deal for each of the actors. (The studio wouldn’t dare claim the bifurcated “Breaking Dawn” is just one long movie that happens to be released as two. The final “Harry Potter” book is being divided into two movies, and we’re told the talent deals were revised to pay the actors separately for both films.)

Reps for the “Twilight” clan are likely salivating at that prospect.The franchise has turned the trio into some of the hottest stars in town — and at this point, Summit can’t exactly recast. Lautner in particular has been running up his quote lately by signing on to a host of high-profile projects, demanding a reported $7.5 million for the upcoming “Northern Lights” and booking gigs as “Max Steel” and the toy-turned-tentpole “Stretch Armstrong.”

If you didnt read breaking Dawn, skip this post now!!!!

anyway, its nessie’s birthday, eddie and bella’s kin!, so lets all wish our fictional child a happy first birthday!!!

A long, long time ago, some of you may be old enough to remember when the Harry Potter book phenomenon exploded across the world. This was immediately followed by several lawsuits against J.K Rowling, who, according to lesser known authors, stole everything from plots to the name Harry. Too bad they were mostly just cries for attention.

Now Twilight author Stephenie Meyer can relate. Two weeks after allegations came out that she’d plagiarized portions of her novel Breaking Dawn from relatively unknown author Jordan Scott, she’s gone ahead and filed a suit against Meyer. Scott says the novels bear a striking resemblance to her novel The Nocturne, citing ‘plot lines, themes, dialogue, mood, setting, pace, characters, sequence of events [and] ideas’. 

Now, not to discredit Scott, but this SCREAMS ‘free publicity for my book no one knows about’. First of all, there are legitimate cases of idea theft and plagiarism where sentences in books are very slightly reorganized to pass as original, so this guy’s claims are pretty far-fetched. Not to diss on the horror genre, as a fan, but don’t MOST vampire books share a similar theme? Meyer has actually gone to some lengths to make her vampires, well, glittery and fangless. They can go out in daylight and knock you up. That’s not standard vampire lore. 

Meyer’s people agree with me. They issued a response to the lawsuit, calling it “completely without merit and simply a publicity stunt to further Ms. Scott’s career” and pointing out that Meyer wrote Breaking Dawn to follow up Forever Dawn, which was copy-written years before Scott’s novel appeared in portions on the internet.
