With The Twilight Saga: Eclipse finally getting released in a few days, it's finally time to post the exclusive interviews I did at the junket a few weeks back.  While I debated who to post first…I decided to go with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg.

During the extended interview she discussed how working for director David Slade was different than Catherine Hardwicke and Chris Weitz, how much time she's spent writing all the Twilight films, what was cut out of Eclipse, and regarding Breaking Dawn...I asked her how long she knew it was going to be two films, when exactly did she start writing the films, what was her reaction to Bill Condon directing the final installments, how has she been working with Condon on the script, and we ended the interview talking about with the 4th book being the most controversial among the fans, how is it for her to tackle the writing.  She talks about how some fans want an R rating and she explains why it doesn't have to be so graphic.

If you're a fan of the Twilight films, I promise you'll love the interview.  Watch it after the jump and look for more exclusive Twilight interview tomorrow night:
