Melissa Rosenberg Updates Status of 'BD' Scripts

We are a little over 3 months away until filming of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn begins in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and with filming getting closer and closer I'm sure many of you are anxious to hear about any updates regarding the film.

Well, MTV News got the chance to chat with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg at yesterday's Emmy Awards where she dished about the Breaking Dawn scripts.

She gives MTV updates on her progress of the scripts and which scene she thinks will be the most difficult to tackle.

“They’re coming along,” Rosenberg said. “I just flew in last night from working with ['Dawn' director] Bill Condon, prepping the scripts. It’s a lot of work, I’m exhausted,” she added. Rosenberg also revealed that she’s between 75 and 80 percent finished with the two screenplays. “But we’re intent on making them the best scripts yet.”

Regarding the biggest challenge she faces in finishing “Dawn,” parts 1 and 2, Rosenberg said it’s the climactic “battle scene” — in which the two opposing vampire groups face off in dramatic fashion at the end of the book — that’s proving to be her biggest obstacle, rather than the infamous “birth scene”.

“The final battle sequence is a big challenge because it lasts 25 pages,” Rosenberg told us. “It’s almost an entire three-act story in and of itself. You have to track (kept all in one setting) hundreds of characters. It’s an enormous challenge to choreograph on the page and for Bill to choreograph on the stage.”

Rosenberg went on to say that perfecting that scene is her "next big hurdle."

"I've written a couple of drafts [of the scene]; I haven't gotten with Bill [to go over it] yet. That's the next big hurdle to sit down with the stunt coordinator and create the ballet."
