"There’s a Lord of the Flies element to it. It involves a young woman who starts off as someone who is content with playing by the rules and being a “good girl,’ and then has to realize that the rules are malleable and that she has to step forward as a leader. It’s really about coming into one’s own power and embracing one’s own strength and individuality."

Critical reception aside, Melissa Rosenberg hit the jackpot when she landed the gig writing the adaptations of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight franchise. For the rest of her career every single movie she writes will get the "From The Writer Of The Twilight Movies", and tween girls across the world will perk up their ears. So what's truly the best way to keep the gravy train going? Why, adapting another young adult novel, of course. THR reports that Rosenberg will write and produce Earthseed, based on the 1983 book by Pamela Sargent. The project will be the first made by Rosenberg's new company, Tall Girl Productions. The story is set in the future when a ship is sent into outerspace in order to search for a new planet to settle on. On the ship, a group of teens are in a "simulated Earth environment" to test their survival skills. Said Rosenberg about the plot,It may actually be unfair to slap Rosenberg with the Twilight label or blame. There's only so much you can do with certain source material. She's also written a number of Dexter episodes, including the finale of season four, which is considered by many to be one of the best episodes in the series. The jury is still out.
