Don't like the colors of this logo of Eclipse, but I still like the concept, with the letter P as a metaphor of the Eclipse.

The film is set to star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon, Billy Burke, Chaske Spencer, Edi Gathegi, Kirsten Prout and is directed by David Slade.

The movie Twilight 3, aka Twilight Eclipse, will hit theaters on June 30, 2010.

Twilight 3 Eclipse Clip

We got our hand on first spy clip of the opening scene of Twilight 3, aka Eclipse! The clip features Actor Xavier Samuel as Riley in human form who is being terrorized down an alley in Seattle pursued by a sinister shadow which turns out to be Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard): he cannot outrun her, she attacks him, and as we may see in this clip of Eclipse he writhes in pain from being bitten:

A few shots of the same scene:

It's getting more difficult for Summit entertainment to keep things under wrap... Having a sneak peek at Twilight 3 Eclipse (even the behind the scenes) so early is both sweet and slightly disturbing!

Bella and Edward look so cute together! It's a well-deserved moment for them following the self-imposed drama from New Moon.

Eclipse Movie Directed by David Slade

Summit Entertainment is one more time changing director for Eclipse, the third Twilight movie. Indeed, Summit announced today that David Slade has been hired to direct the Twilight Saga Eclipse, aka Twilight 3. So Chris Weitz who is working on New Moon won't helm Eclipse (officially it's because of a conflicting agenda, he would be too busy working on New Moon...)


Filmmaker David Slade once brought us '30 Days of Night' so he is no newbie when it's about Vampire movies. Here he is:

For sure he knows to make vampire movies, just check this trailer of 30 Days of Night:

But I have some doubt about his ability to properly adapt Eclipse... I mean sure, he will make a great Vampire movie, but the Twilight Saga is also about love...

Below a few words from Stehenie Meyer and Summit Entertaiment about David Slade directing the movie Eclipse:

I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing ECLIPSE. He's a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise. From the beginning, we've been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga, and I'm so happy that ECLIPSE will be carrying on with that tradition.

Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer's ECLIPSE is a muscular, rich, vivid book and we at Summit looked long and hard for a director who could do it justice. We believe we have found that talent in David Slade, a director who has been able to create complex, visually arresting worlds. We cannot wait to see the ECLIPSE he brings to life and brings to the fans eagerly awaiting its arrival in summer of 2010.

Erik Feig, Summit's President of Production.

Let's hope that Director Slade will respect Stephenie Meyer's novel, and that the movie Eclipse will be more than a simple vampire movie: what David Slade has to bring us is definitely a ROMANTIC vampire movie!

What do you think about David Slade helming the movie Twilight Eclipse? Any advice to the new director for him to better adapt Eclipse?

Eclipse Movie

Summit Entertainment is already planning the production of the third movie of the Twilight saga. The movie Eclipse, aka Twilight 3, is tentatively scheduled for June 30, 2010. No wonder that Summit wants to fast-track the movie Eclipse: so many fans are waiting for their Twilight fix! Also, by locking in an early deal on this Eclipse movie, Summit Entertainment is hedging against Stephenie Meyer asking for more money later.

Plot - Synopsis:

"As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death."

The official title of Twilight 3 should be in line with New Moon's, so we may fairly bet that it will be titled The Twilight Saga Eclipse.

It is clear that Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner will reprise their roles in Eclipse, respectively as Bella the moody young lady, Edward Cullen the Vampire, and Jacob Black the newly assumed Werewolf.

But Director Chris Weitz is unlikely to helm the third Twilight movie because of a conflicting agenda: Weitz will still be working on the post-production of the movie New Moon when filming of Eclipse will begin.

Let's hope that if there is again (!) a new director, that he will respect the legacy of the first two movies and that he stay faithful to Stephenie Meyer's book! But I don't worry too much about that: Twilight fans are stakeholders with a real influence and Stephenie Meyer will act as the ultimate guardian of the Twilight saga.

I suppose that as usual they will to make a trade off though: a movie adaptation can't go in the details as much as a novel does. So apart from the main plot, what detail of the novel do you think should absolutely be part of the movie Eclipse?
