I think it was a really good interview. She explained her logic on writing the adaptation. Its funny that she talks about flow a great deal. I would gather that has great deal with most in this story. Can’t wait to actually seen this movie.
Her comments on New Moon were interesting, especially in reference to Eclipse. CW did ALL the rewrites on New Moon, he is a writer, a very good one. DS is not a writer so “I”(MR) was/am able to do all the rewrites. SOOO, we shall see how the writing of these screenplays differ, and movies themselves. Makes me wonder if Rob felt/saw the difference in the scripts right off the bat when he made that comment at Comic-Con.
