On Bella’s Desire and Beyond: Going Deep on Breaking Dawn with Twilight’s Melissa Rosenberg

Throughout the Twilight franchise, one screenwriter has adapted author Stephenie Meyer ‘s bestselling book series about a teenager and her love for a vampire for the screen: Melissa Rosenberg . It’s a tricky job, balancing the desire to satisfy fans with the need to make Meyer’s 500+ page-novels cinematic, all while transforming heroine Bella Swan ( Kristen Stewart ) from unsteady teen to self-possessed woman. But in Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Bella finally is an agent of her own destiny, her senses awakened, and her choices confident. Was she, as Rosenberg insists, an active heroine under the surface just waiting to spring into action all along?

About That Time Cameron Crowe Fired Ashton Kutcher

“I’ll spend months working with an actor, and I think I spent four months with Ashton,” the filmmaker said recently about his time prepping Kutcher for 2005’s Elizabethtown . But the actor, who was still starring in That 70’s Show at the time, refused to devote a few weeks to the ill-fated project co-starring Kirsten Dunst. At the time, Crowe realized, “This is not meant to be,” dropped Kutcher and replaced him with Orlando Bloom. Although the film bombed at the box office, Crowe still remembers it favorably: ” Elizabethtown was a movie made for all the right reasons, and people who connect with the movie really connect to it.” [ THR ]

The Michael Fassbender-Prometheus-Greg Louganis Nexus

“I kind of went my own way, really. I didn’t watch the [ Alien ] films. When I found out I was doing it, I didn’t revisit them. Greg Louganis was my first inspiration. I figured that I’d sort of base my physicality roughly around him, and then it kind of went from there.” [ MTV Movies ]

You Know What’s Awesome? This New Trailer For Shame

From Sideways to Little Miss Sunshine to Slumdog Millionaire and Black Swan , Fox Searchlight has long proven more than adept at marketing its awards-season wares. Thus the distributor seemed a logical choice to acquire Shame , the acclaimed sex-addict drama that was near-instantly presumed to be destined for an accursed NC-17 rating. But now Searchlight, continuing its “What, us worry?” campaign on behalf of the Steve McQueen-directed, Michael Fassbender-starring gem, may have hit its stride.
