Melissa Rosenberg says 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' will be rated PG-13
Having worked with all three Twilight saga directors before, Rosenberg was able to summarize the nature of the three (Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz, and David Slade, respectively) in a single sentence apiece, and she also stated that when it comes to who'll helm Breaking Dawn, she has offered her input but that the decision is ultimately out of her hands.
She did seem confident, however, that Breaking Dawn would be rated PG-13.
"That's your audience. In this series you don't sacrifice anything. There are some movies that wouldn't play at PG-13, like The Hangover, but this is just not one of them for me. Again, if you're capturing character, emotion, and emotional journey, you're OK," she explained about the film's rating.
The full interview is available here.
Kristen Stewart and Carey Mulligan Compete for a Role in "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo"?
But the role she is going for is not going to be as easy to get as she may have once thought. This could have something to do with Carey Mulligan, as she is reportedly also going for the same role that Kristen wants.
So what is this seemingly impressive role then, I guess everyone is wondering? Well it is the leading role in a re-make of the movie ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’. The director of this re-make is ‘David Fincher’ and he wants to give this thriller a little more Hollywood edge and that is exactly what he is going to do, but which star actress is will he choose?
A studio executive spoke to the Sun and said, “It’s an edgy, sexy, demanding role which would have been perfect for Angelina Jolie – if she was only ten years younger. So the very best twenty-something actresses around today are in the frame – and that’s a very short list.”
The Sun also revealed that Fincher may be keen to grab Kristen for this “demanding” role, a little bit more then Carey as back in the year of 2002 he was the one her got acting career into lift off with the film ‘Panic Room’. So maybe the odds are against Carey on this one. But how edgy, sexy and demanding can our Kristen be as her role in Twilight doesn’t consist of any of those elements?
Plus Carey’s also got an Oscar! Well Noomi Rapace starred in the first original of this film, so whoever does get the part is going to have to live up to her work and even do better! Can these teens do it!
David Walliams for Twilight : Breaking Dawn
Little Britain star David Walliams has reportedly been asked to audition for the fourth Twilight movie Breaking Dawn.
Walliams, 38, is currently planning his wedding to model Lara Stone, which is set to take place later this month.
He is also writing a new comedy series, but reports say he has been approached by movie bosses about appearing opposite Robert Pattinson in the fourth movie in the Twilight Saga.
A source said to UK newspaper The Sun: 'They thought him suitable when they saw him play the evil charmer in the drama Capturing Mary.'

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner & Chris Weitz Q & A At The New Moon UK Fan Event in London

Anna Kendrick and Dakota Fanning Are Harper’s Bazaar 2010 Rising Style Star
Anna Kendrick and Dakota Fanning feature in Harper’s Bazaar top 10 Hollywood Rising Style Stars.
These 10 fresh faces have major films or TV shows under their belts, and a select few have already been feted at this year’s award shows. Whether they snagged statues or not, all have proven to be style stars with gorgeous red-carpet gowns and unique off-duty looks. Trust us: these are the ones to watch in 2010. -Ellie Krupnick, Harper’s Bazaar.
Anna Kendrick:
She may count herself among Hollywood’s “popular kids” as a Twilight cast member, but Kendrick broke away from the pack to shine alongside older and more famous co-stars in Up in the Air. The 24-year-old’s star turn garnered Golden Globe, Oscar, and SAG Award nominations, which meant plenty of chances to ogle her sartorial choices. Kendrick plays up her tiny waist in form-fitting looks and experiments with every color of the rainbow (like this brilliant violet Alberta Ferretti at the SAGs). And this year isn’t just about award shows: Kendrick has already begun shooting a new movie called I’m With Cancer with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and she’ll reprise her role as Jessica in the upcoming Twilight films. When it comes to her style and career, things for Kendrick are looking up
Dakota Fanning:
If the name Dakota Fanning conjures up images of a wide-eyed child star with blond braids and Mary Janes, it’s time to think again. After years of children’s fare, 16-year old Fanning recently starred as punk rocker Cherie Currie in The Runaways, a biopic of rock star-proportions with cover girl Kristen Stewart playing Joan Jett. Fanning has channeled her new mature role on the red carpet with lots of black, like this stunning Valentino lace mini (paired with soaring burgundy heels) and the chic black blazer-and-skinny pants combo she wore at Sundance. Savvy style is matched by smart career moves: Fanning’s next film is none other than the next film in the Twilight series, Eclipse.

Jodelle Ferland’s Eclipse-Themed Easter Egg
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' star Nikki Reed suggests 'Breaking Dawn' will film in Vancouver
At the Yotam Solomon’s Fashion Event this weekend, Young Hollywood caught up with New Moon and Eclipse star Nikki Reed ("Rosalie Hale" in the series) and asked her a few questions about her style choices for the evening.
Reed also talked about her current interests, which include traveling and learning the Greek and Spanish languages.
About The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and what fans can expect to see from her character, Reed explained that the film "really explore[s] my character's back story . . . so there's a lot of stuff from the early 1900's, the 1930's."
When speaking of the Twilight saga cast ensemble and how they're gearing up for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Reed stated that they are "all sort of like a family. You know, we started this thing together, and we're going to finish together . . . We love each other, we see one another when we're not shooting. So, we're looking forward to going back to Vancouver to make another one."
While Nikki Reed might not have known for sure whether the filming location for Breaking Dawn would be Vancouver or Portland, it seems that she thinks it'll be Vancouver.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to Premiere Eclipse Together
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been so busy with othe work besides their Twilight Saga that some wondered if the two would be able to make the premiere of "Eclipse" their third Twilight movie where we find Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in bed together.
The much awaited premiere is a Twilight's fan dream come true, but Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been very busy with their seperate careers.
Robert Pattinson has been working on his new film with Uma Thurman, "Bel Ami." In "Bel Ami," Robert Pattinson plays a gay porn star, a far cry from his romantic hero of Edward Cullen,.
Kristen Stewart has been busy promoting her new movie, "The Runaways." Neither have had much time for each other but they were able to sneak in a romantic Easter weekend.
Is True Blood the Twilight for adults?
Stephanie Meyer's romantic tale of Vampire Edward Cullen and human Bella Swan falling in love despite all the odds being against them is a one of excitement, love, and moral questions. But True Blood has been deemed the "Twilight for adults" Does this mean that Twilight is only for teenage girls? I think most would disagree with that!
True Blood which is more raw and sexual has drawn in adult vampire fans from all over. Also adapted from a series of books Sookie and Bill face their own set of challenges as they fight to keep their relationship together.
So I'm wondering...Is there even cause for debate? Let me know what you think. Twilight, True Blood...or both?
Robert Pattinson voted Best Dressed Man in Glamour Poll
Model Price was not only named worst-dressed female but also, with her husband Alex Reid, won the crown for "worst-dressed couple".
The pair beat Victoria and David Beckham and Coleen and Wayne Rooney for the honour.
The results appear in the May edition of the magazine.
Kristen Stewart is #20 on Glamour's Best Dressed List
'Fearless dresser' Rihanna makes second place, followed by Gossip Girls Blake Lively 'on the right side of the classy/trashy divide' and Leighton Meester, and TV presenter Alexa Chung.
Pregnant Dannii Minogue is sixth, her highest ranking so far, but for the first time in the eighth Annual Glamour List sister Kylie did not make the top 50.
Last year's number two, supermodel Kate Moss, has slipped to seventh place, while Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria has fallen from third to eighth.
Beyonce is ninth followed by Harry Potter actress and Burberry model Emma Watson in the list of the globe's style-makers, voted for by the public.
Other newcomers include Twilight actress Kristen Stewart (20), singer Pixie Lott (21), Angelina Jolie (23) and Leona Lewis (49).
Lack of "Twilight" video game could be costing "millions"
"Given how hot a property it is, Twilight could easily present a seven-figure exploitation opportunity," analyst Nick Gibson told the publication, "especially if publishers look at taking it beyond retail gaming and considers network gaming."
Gibson goes on to suggest such a game would perform well with the broader audiences of the Nintendo's Wii and DS machines, and would be unlikely to be targeted at gamers with Xbox 360s or PS3s.
"The brand’s appeal could actually extend significantly beyond the expected teen girl market and into the 20- to 30-year-old female market, which has a very substantial crossover into gaming," he said.
So why have we not seen any serious attempt to bring Twilight's vampires-and-werewolves world to consoles? It could simply be that the franchise owners haven't realized what a big money-spinner it could be, Gibson told MCV.
"It may well be that the rights holders aren’t aware of the potential benefits as they haven’t explored the games market before,” he said. "It’s not unheard of – although it is increasingly unusual in this day and age."
Movie-based games often score poorly with critics, but they're a reliable hit with consumers. All the same, Twilight isn't the only recent hot property to have missed out on a video game release: you'd have thought a game based on Oscar-winning Batman flick The Dark Knight would have been an obvious move, but it was not to be. Although publisher EA was working on such a title, it was canceled in 2008; a Newsweek article put the cost of the missed opportunity at over $100 million.
