Twilight saga script writer Melissa Rosenberg says she would like to see actor Channing Tatum to play a role of bad boy vampire Riley. Entertainment Tonight reports that if “Channing Tatum hasn’t read the Twilight books, he may want to start.” implying that he has a support of Melissa Rosenberg – one big figure involved in production of the Twilight saga.
Vampire Riley is not in New Moon, but would be in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn as per books by Stephenie Meyer. Riley is involved in a big fight and Melissa Rosenberg believed Channing Tatum would pull it off well. And since Riley is manipulated by evil Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), he does anything for her until the point when he’s left heartbroken realizing Victoria doesn’t want him.
Melissa Rosenberg also confirmed E! Online what Kristen Stewart said in interviews with Entertainment Tonight – even though Edward Cullen as character doesn’t appear that much in books, there will be plenty of him (and hence plenty of Robert Pattinson) in the movie adaptations: “You can’t have a Twilight without Robert Pattinson.”
Back to Channing Tatum – he started as a model and eventually scored acting gigs. He hasn’t been in any major picture yet, so role in Twilight would put his name on A list very quickly. His brief portfolio of movies includes She’s the Man, Step Up or Supercross.
