ROME FILM FESTIVAL 2009
We have some great pictures and part of the question and answer session to share with you from this year’s 2009 Rome Film Festival which just took place this week. In attendance promoting New Moon were Melissa Rosenberg, Charlie Bewley, Jamie Campbell Bower and Cameron Bright.

ACTORS/SCREENWRITER Q&A“Breaking Dawn: will it be filmed? When?”
Rosenberg and the actors declined to answer, and only said they are perfectly happy with the first three films. (They didn’t say “We don’t know yet”, they actually skirted the question…) Rosenberg said she has chosen to focus on the emotional journey of the book, and tried to replicate it in her script. This meant condensing some scenes, expanding other scenes with more action sequences. In the first movie she was very protective of her script, and felt Meyer was a strong external influence; but this time she realized Meyer was very cooperative, and a pleasure to work with.
For Twilight, Rosenberg and Hardwicke worked together on the script; this time around it was just Rosenberg, as Weitz came on board after the script was finished.
Cameron Bright said he likes the Twilight Saga because it offers a very original viewpoint on vampires, different and deeper than other vampire books and films. New Moon will be an action movie: boys will like it, too.
Charlie Bewley said the good thing about playing a Volturi is you don’t know the backstory of your character, so you can make up your own backstory and imagine your character’s past.
You can read all about the scenes that were shown at the 2009 Rome Film Festival here, but BEWARE SPOILERS.

I had to go peek at the clip descriptions, I can hardly stand it, New Moon is going to be incredible! All the guys look great! It’s pretty funny the Volturi were such a presence at the Festival.
