The 'Twilight' saga continues as Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson prepare for 'Eclipse'

Summit Entertainment has precious time to waste as its popular "Twilight" Personalities speed towards completion of their latest film projects to bring an "Eclipse" to light.
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are scheduled to return their "Twilight" personas of Bella Swan, Edward Culen and Jacob Black on August 17, which is when "Eclipse" has been scheduled to begin production in Vancouver, British Columbia. The third book in the wildly popular series created by Stephenie Meyer, "Eclipse" is scheduled to be completed around October 31 or Halloween appropriately enough.
Director David Slade will be adding fresh blood to the film series by helming "Eclipse," which has been written by Melissa Rosenberg ("Dexter"), who adapted the first two books in the series. "Eclipse" is expected to hit screens on June 30, 2010.
"New Moon," the eagely awaited second installment, is set for a November 20th opening.

Who Will Join Robert Pattinson in Eclipse?

You all just saw the trailer for the next installment in the Twilight saga, New Moon. So is it too early to start talking about the third movie, Eclipse? We don't think so. And we want to know who will be joining Robert Pattinson to star in it.
Wait, you mean there are going to be more actors and actresses for us to be crazy obsessed with? One thing that's for sure is that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will remain a member of the Twilight cast. Phew. But there are still a few roles that need to be filled for Eclipse and we can't wait to find out who is chosen!
The three major roles that need to be filled starting with brother and sister werewolves Seth and Leah Clearwater. These characters live in La Push like fellow werewolf Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner. We hear that the production is looking for First Nations actors to fill both roles.
The third role to be filled is Riley, a clean-cut, blonde college boy who falls for Victoria.
Sounds like we are all in for at least another crush. Seth's character in the book is absolutely adorable and we are sure we will love him. As for Riley, we are also sure they will cast someone extra hot. Rumor had is that Channing Tatum was up for the role. Interesting. We'll definitely keep you posted!
Eclipse is set to start filming at the end of the summer so we are hoping to have news on the cast soon!


So, more Twilight hunks to compete with Robert Pattinson. Do you think they could cast someone even hotter than him? Take a look at our favorite Robert P pics and then decide.

More Eclipse Casting Info

This is from Lainey's Gossip..God She better not post the schedule when its done, also she has more stalker pics of Rob going to his hotel tonight.ughh Leave him alone

Many of you have been asking when they’ll return to Vancouver to resume filming. Probably August, yes. BUT…there’s no confirmed date. Any reports you’ve read about an exact date in August are premature considering the schedule is still being drafted. Again – the schedule is STILL BEING DRAFTED. But let’s hope they give us the entire summer off.

Anyway, right now production is focused, among other things, on casting remaining characters in Eclipse. Have just received some exclusive new information about what they’re looking for.

Still Leah and Seth Clearwater. And my sources tell me that they’re favouring Canadian suggestions for the role of Riley. Originally the agents were looking for “name talent”. They’ve now modified their criteria. This suggests that Channing Tatum might be too established to take on this kind of supporting position. Perhaps they think GI Joe will blow up the box office. The trailer looked sh-tty though.

Anyway, postings for Maria, Bree, and Royce King are also now active. Quick Google check tells me that Royce King is the dude who raped Rosalie. So presumably Rosalie gets a flashback scene. Don’t lie Twi-hards. I know you care about this.

Eclipse Casting and Breaking Dawn Not Confirmed?

Casting for the third Twilight movie has begun.

We got our hands on a casting notice for at least three characters in Eclipse.

Find out just what director David Slade is looking for. However, we must warn you that there are a few spoilers…

Riley "is a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria," the notice reads. He's in his early to mid 20s and "plays an integral role in Victoria's attempt to murder Bella Swan."

There are two more members of the Quileute tribe and La Push wolf pack in Eclipse. Like New Moon, they are looking for Native American or First Nations actors to fill the roles.

"Seth Clearwater is a "tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin," the notice reads. "Seth idolizes Jacob."

Seth's big sister is 19-year-old Leah Clearwater and the only female member of La Push: "She is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues."

Now that Eclipse is up and running, what about the fourth, Breaking Dawn? As much as everyone in the cast wants it to happen, it still sounds like nothing's official…yet.

"I'm signed for three," Peter Facinelli told me at the MTV Movie Awards. "I'm hoping that they make four. I mean, if New Moon does well, I think they'll make four."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have said they want to make Breaking Dawn, too.

When asked about four, Ashley Greene said, "I can't even think that far in advance."

Or maybe she can.

"They're just going to have to make a Twilight Five," she cracked. "I will be forever known as a Twilight girl."

Greene and Kellan Lutz said they'll start shooting Eclipse in August.

lainey gossip: Director flies in, Vampire flies out

It’s David Slade, the newly confirmed director of Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight series. Slade recently had to eat his own ass after comments he made mocking the first movie were leaked online. As you would expect, the Twi-hard Nation wanted his blood. Because, yeah totally, Twilight was cinematic brilliance and absolutely deserves an Oscar…

Anyway, Slade arrived in Vancouver yesterday to scout locations, meet with production. You know what that means? It means Twilight is never f-cking leaving my city..

Around the same time Slade came, Peter Facinelli left. We were actually on the same flight to Vegas. Not sure where he was going. I sat across the aisle from him. He was lovely to fans who approached for photos in the terminal and the only other remarkable detail I can give you is that while I was trying to write The Outcast book review, he was givin’er on his iPod, playing some game that required furious tapping and scrolling and shaking. It was distracting and hilarious and adorable, especially when he became extra spastic with the controller.

Also attached – a sleepy Taylor Lautner in the afternoon. Staying up late on the phone with Selena? Or do kids not talk on the phone anymore?

On set today: continuation of the Volturi Edward tossing scene.

Eclipse Director David Slade Releases Personal Statement

As previously reported here, David Slade Had talked bad about Twilight last year,
He just emailed Twilight Lexicon addressing the issue:

“Dear Laura and Lori

I would be grateful if you could distribute this statement to the fans of Twilight:I would like to address some statements that I made regarding Twilight.

When I made these comments, I had neither seen the film nor read the books. I was promoting a comedy short film that I had made for Xbox and every pop culture subject was seen as a possible comedy target. I was being silly and none of the statements were from the heart.

Of course, I have since seen the movie and read the books and was quickly consumed with the rich storytelling and the beautifully honest characters that Stephenie Meyer created.

I would like to reassure everyone involved that I am invested in making the best film that I am humanly capable of, and that I am acutely aware of the power of the original books we serve.

Please be rest assured this statement is absolutely from the heart.

yours sincerely

DAVID SLADE”

Eclipse Director David Slade Disses Twilight

When Peter compiled his epic and useful list of directors, actors and screenwriters plugged into Twitter, one of those included was Hard Candyman David Slade. Today, however, it seems like Slade’s Twitter account has been deleted, which is a crying shame. Besides the loss of an interesting tweeter, another of the reasons this is unfortunate is that the deletion covers Slade’s tracks a little and hides a rather amusing little attack he launched on the Twilight franchise.

That being the very same Twilight franchise Slade has subsequently signed up to, and for which he will be directing the third installment, Eclipse. Oops.

So, the original Tweet might be gone but after the break we have audio of Slade ripping into Twilight and, if nothing else, its quite funny stuff… and I can’t help wondering what Summit Entertainment, the Twilight cast and Stephenie Meyer think about it?

…and so yesterday we were trying to find a movie to see and we’d seen all the good ones, you know, and there was nothing really coming out this weekend that we really fancied at all and having directed a vampire film and really gone for something completely different to the kind of romantic, you know, repressed hormone teen vampire movie we really weren’t interested in seeing Twilight but a lot of people said lets go so I wrote -

“Twilight drunk? No, not even drunk. Twilight on acid? No, not even on acid? Twilight at gun point? Just shoot me.”

[That’s like] a poem in a way [...] at this point excites me even though people think I’m a really violent and unpleasant person I actually do have this romantic violent side to me. Maybe I should have seen Twilight.

Will Channing Tatum 'Eclipse' Rob Pattinson?

Funny that now I find tons of articles about this, it's also funny that before Rob, this guy melted me (well he still does but not as Rob does) Either Way whatever happens NOONE can "Eclipse" Robert Pattinson , Period.

By TheImproper.com
Robert Pattinson meet Channing Tatum… maybe. The Edward Cullen star could be working with Tatum in the third “Twilight” sequel “Eclipse.” Although nothing is set in stone, “Eclipse” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg says she “desperately” wants Tatum for the part of vampire “Riley.”

Some think he could be Rob’s competitor for Twi fans’ hearts, but that seems unlikely. While Channing, a former male model, is already a huge gay icon, he’s also engaged to be married to dancer Jenna Dewan.

One thing is certain, however, his career is rocketing like Rob's. Tatum, 29, recently starred to solid reviews in the movie, “Fighting,” which opened this month. He will appear later in summer’s big-budget movie, “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra” and “Dear John,” based on the Nicholas Sparks novel. He also plays Pretty Boy Floyd in Johnny Depp’s 1930s gangster drama “Public Enemies.”

His break out role came in 2008’s “Stop Loss,” a surprise hit that also won critical acclaim. It’s about soliders confronted with second and third tours in Iraq under the Bush Administration’s “stop loss” policy, which prevented soldiers from leaving the service at the end of their terms.

Those experiences would make him a good fit for Eclipse. "There’s a very big battle at the end with Riley, and I think Channing would do that so well,” Rosenberg said of the studly star.

"And there are some complexities to that character. He really is tragic. He’s a puppet for Victoria. So he has to break your heart a little bit at the end when he realizes that she doesn’t want him. Channing could do that beautifully."

If Tatum accepts the role, he will also join Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning who now make up the core of the movie’s cast. They are now in Canada filming Twilight sequel "New Moon."

Tatum and Pattinson share many traits. Both are quiet, introspective and unassuming. “Honest to God, to my soul I have no idea what to think. It doesn’t really make sense to me yet because nothing has dropped yet,” he said recently about his new-found stardom.

“’Step Up’ was probably my most famous film and it’s a kids dance movie. So I could get a date at any elementary school, but no one else knows who I am.” Channing met former Justin Timberlake backup dancer Dewan on the set of the movie.

His killer physique landed him early work as a male model working for clients such as Armani and Abercrombie & Fitch. He also landed national spots for Mountain Dew and Pepsi, and appeared in several music videos.

“I've been able to explore life, and through exploring it I've found that I love art, I love writing, I love acting, I love all the things that make sense to me,” he says of his career so far. “And I've been given the chance to go out and see the world, and to see all the things out there. Not everyone gets that chance."

E! Talks To Melissa Rosenberg

If Channing Tatum hasn’t read the Twilight books, he may want to start.

At least one very important person in the movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire love story thinks Tatum would be perfect to play bad-boy vampire Riley in Eclipse, the third in the four-book series.

“There’s a very big battle at the end with Riley, and I think Channing would do that so well,” Twilight and New Moon screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who is currently writing the Eclipse script, told us this weekend at the Los Angeles Times Book Festival benefit for the Writers Guild Foundation.

“And there are some complexities to that character," she adds. "He really is tragic. He’s a puppet for Victoria [bad-girl vampire played by Rachelle Lefevre]. So he has to break your heart a little bit at the end when he realizes that she doesn’t want him. Channing could do that beautifully.”

Rosenberg also confirmed some good news for Robert Pattinson fans...

Even though Edward Cullen may not be in the New Moon novel as much as he is in the others, she promised we’ll be seeing plenty of the Brit actor in the flick, which is currently shooting in Vancouver with director Chris Weitz.

“In the book, he’s actually an enormous presence in [Bella’s] mind,” Rosenberg said. “He’s so present in her mind throughout the entire center of the book, so we really played off that, and it kept him alive in a slightly different way, but fans will feel it’s true to the book. You can’t have a Twilight without Rob Pattinson.”

And Rosenberg says you also can’t have a Twilight movie with anything more adult than a PG-13 rating. She has yet to be hired to write the script for the fourth, Breaking Dawn, but she thinks it’s safe to assume the book’s more graphic violent scenes will be tailored to keep it accessible for Twilight’s teen moviegoing audience.

“Our fans are in the PG age range, and I don’t feel a big necessity to see violence, and to see gore,” Rosenberg said. “I don’t need to see that. This whole series is more about their relationship. It’s not about the gore. I mean, there are some scary and special elements to it, but the series is really about relationships and coming of age and owning one’s power.”

Summit Announces Director for Eclipse

Summit Entertainment announced today that David Slade has been hired to direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE from a screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, the third film in the studio’s TWILIGHT film franchise based on the Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster book series, will be released theatrically in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010. The announcement was made by Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Production.

Meyer stated, “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.”

Filmmaker Slade came to prominence as a director for his work on 2006’s engrossing film HARD CANDY starring Academy Award® Nominated actress Ellen Page as well as directing 2007’s genre hit 30 DAYS OF NIGHT which opened to number one at the box office its first weekend of release.

Drew Barrymore Talks About Almost Directing 'Eclipse' Juan Antonio Bayona will helm third installment of 'Twilight' series.

Drew Barrymore may have made the shortlist of directors up for the chance to helm "Eclipse," the third installment of the "Twlight" franchise, but that distinction ultimately went to Juan Antonio Bayona. At the "Grey Gardens" premiere, the actress told MTV News just how badly she wanted to work with the likes of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
"Oh, I wish that I was! I adore that project and I adore the team that's making it," she said. "And I am very honored to now be a director and going up for other movies and being offered other movies as a director. I'm now an actor/producer/director! How lucky am I!"
Back in February, word began to spread that Barrymore was one of the directors being considered to helm the project. Her directorial debut, "Whip It!," a comedy about a female roller-derby team, is currently waiting for a release date.
"Eclipse" has a June 10, 2010, release date, and filming will presumably begin soon after the completion of "New Moon," which is already under way in Vancouver.
In earlier interviews, before she was passed up to direct "Eclipse," the actress seemed eager to join the project. "I'm one of the directors that is being talked about, which is great, because I'm a director now," Barrymore said. "But, you know, they'll make their choice."

Why Breaking Dawn should be made, with Rob Pattinson Kristen Stewart &Taylor Lautner of course

Here's what we do know. Firstly, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is in full-swing as it films on-set in Vancouver, British Columbia. Also, it's budget has been increased to $51 million (from Twilight's $37 million), reportedly, indicating that expectations are, understandably, higher from Summit Entertainment, the director, the cast, and crew of the up-coming film (due on November 20, 2009). Also, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has been confirmed by Summit for release in North America on June 30, 2010 (a little over 6 months from New Moon's release date).

We also know that Summit Entertainment has taken The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as an "optioned property," which, basically, means that they have the choice whether to make the film or not - and they haven't decided at this point. We also know that Robert Pattinson was quoted to say on the Red Carpet of the Oscar's this March that Breaking Dawn would, indeed, be made as well (video below - saying "and Breaking Dawn's gonna be done at some point as well, so yeah...").

[ * Warning * the following contains spoilers for those who have not read Breaking Dawn ]

So where does that leave us? Unfortunately, fans, in limbo. With the imminent and inevitable success of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the demand-side will certainly not be an issue. Rumor had it that the issue was with the character Renesmee and the impossibility of casting a baby with a full set of teeth who continues to grow at rapid and inexplicable speed, talks (when she actually speaks) like a mature adult of wisened years, and who can do spectacular things physically (such as, for instance, jump eight feet in the air to catch a snowflake).

I am reminded of a particular series of wildly successful and well-done films which remains amidst the heat of speculation as to whether it will be completed - The Lord of the Rings series (with Elijah Wood and crew). The Hobbit, which was the first book in J.R.R. Tolkien's literary series, was never made, and fans of the series continue to plead for it. So far, their prayers have remained unanswered, despite the heavy demand, unbelievable success of the films, and, most likely, the willingness of the cast.

In the case of Breaking Dawn, though, there are quite a few distinctions to be had. In The Lord of the Ring series, there was an ending with The Return of the King, but with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, there will not be a tangible sense of completeness to the series without Breaking Dawn's production. Also, Breaking Dawn presents, for some, some of Bella's most shining moments as a strong character, and, quite simply, it is as important a part of the story of Edward and Bella as the very first kiss in Twilight.

So, how could the barriers to Breaking Dawn's production be overcome? Simple: CGI. We already discussed the fact that gifted-CGI-user director Chris Weitz is employing its use for New Moon, and we've seen it bring to life some of our favorite literary characters in other series (think Gollum in The Lord of the Rings or Dobby in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). Renesmee is, quite simply, not out of reach for our wonderful age of cinematography. Concerns that a CGI-enhanced Renesmee would be inadequate are speculative, really, and I have optimism in the possibilities that the United States' entertainment industry holds.

As for concerns that it would be too long, I am quite positive that I speak for all Twilight series fans when I say that we would be thrilled to sit in an epic-length depiction of this film, just to see it unfold on-screen. Perhaps, I am wrong, but I doubt it. To see characters like Irina, Tanya, and Brie come to life; to see Jacob's inner-strife as he witnesses Bella endure sheer torment, and to have to endure and persist as a labor of love; to see the wedding, the dress, Isle Esme (oh my). To see it all, I dare say, the fans would happily remain seated for three hours or so. Perhaps the studio could even break the film in half, if necessary. In any case, bring Breaking Dawn on, I say.

Are the Nikki Reed and Robert Pattinson Twilight love affair rumors a media stunt?

Though neither of the stars' representatives have spoken publicly on the issue, sometimes silence speaks volumes enough. While Nikki and Rob may have been seen together (shocker) while they are both together in Vancouver shooting a film, it is not surprising. It is no secret that during the filming of 2008's hit blockbuster Twilight, the cast grew exceptionally close to one another, and that this is sure to repeat itself once and again as they share the screen for this year's The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and next summer's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

So, if the rumors are just that (rumors only), it begs the question: is this a media stunt? If so, from which camp (Rob's or Nikki's), and why?
