LOS ANGELES, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Hundreds of movie lovers of the blockbuster "Twilight" teen vampire series have begun rigging up tents outside the Nokia Plaza in downtown Los Angeles Monday, three days ahead of the worldwide premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."

The fans said they hoped to greet the iconic actors and actresses of the franchise and take part in the premiere of the "Twilight" movie.

Many of the fans are youngsters in their early 20s. They want to spend the days and nights on the ground until the very moment. An array of colorful tents were rigged up. Some used umbrellas to shield themselves against the scorching sunlight.

approximately 9,000 wristbands are being handed out to the movie fans, local television channel KTLA 5 reported, quoting Nokia officials.

Wristbands must be worn until the premiere is over. Any wristband that has been tampered with or removed will not be considered valid, they said.

Twilight Saga Eclipse has different perspective

Although Twilight and New Moon stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will both be seen in separate films beyond the Twilight Saga in March, Stewart is already talking The Twilight Saga Eclipse ahead of its June 30 release. Kristen Stewart recently spoke with Reelz Channel about Eclipse while at the premiere of her latest film, The Yellow Handkerchief.

During the brief interview with Kristen Stewart on The Yellow Handkerchief red carpet in Los Angeles, Stewart revealed to Reelz Channel that The Twilight Saga Eclipse brings a different perspective to the Twilight series after New Moon, with different levels and layers of love. If you're a fan of The Twilight Saga novels, you already know what Kristen Stewart is referring to and why.

When Kristen Stewart was asked about the kissing scenes in Twilight and what it's like for her in other non Twilight Saga films, Stewart admitted that kissing depends on how she's thinking about it at the time. For Kristen Stewart, it ranges from weird to remembering that it's her job, especially when a hundred people are standing around and watching.

Twilight Lovers Forced Apart?

Twilight’s New Moon lovebird’s Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been reportedly told by their management teams to cut back on spending time together for the sake of their careers.

As you know, Robert Pattinson, 23, and Kristen Stewart, 19, played love rival’s in the blockbusters Twilight and Twilight: New Moon movies and have been seen everywhere together before and after the release. The last time the two were spotted together was on the Isle of Wight on New Year’s Eve. Since then, Pattinson and Stewart’s camp’s have issued a stern warning to the couple to cut back on time spent between the two. Sources say that their management teams have banned them from being seen together until a promotional tour for their upcoming Twilight Saga titled Twilight: Eclipse in which they both will star in as well.

“Neither (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) has time to focus on anything but their work,” their camp managers allegedly stated.

Pattinson has three movies in the works including “Twilight: Eclipse” and one that is due out in theaters in April entitled “Remember Me,” while Stewart is working on some projects herself.

Will true love overcome their set back? We Will See!!

Twilight Saga : Eclipse Scoop from Peter Facinelli

Peter Facinelli spilled some details about Twilight Saga: Eclipse recently.  Facinelli gave Entertainment Tonight the scoop on Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the upcoming Eclipse movie.

 We are going to see Dr. Carlisle Cullen in a new light when Eclipse rolls around. You get to see a side of Carlisle you haven’t seen before. There are some great battle sequences.

 The fan base has been so phenomenal. When you go to an event, people have flown in from other countries just to take a picture with you. That is a loyal fan base that you can’t even imagine having. I am thankful for all of them. That is why I try to give back in connecting with them on Twitter.

Peter Facinelli dished with Hollywood Life about the sex scenes in Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and the fine line the producers have to walk to with the story.

 I have a 12-year-old daughter [Luca Bella, whose mom is Jennie Garth]. She’s a fan and I’d want her not to feel left out or awkward. Hopefully it’s a PG-13 type of situation. I’m sure the producers and directors know what they want—and especially what they are doing—but I’m sure they don’t want to alienate fans.

Taylor Lautner talks about Twilight Eclipse at Golden Globes

Taylor Lautner talked 'Twilight: Eclipse' at the Globes. Last night, NBC was able to catch up with Taylor Lautner, star of Summit Entertainment's wildly popular and enormously successful "Twilight" franchise. He was out and about the red carpet at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards. During their chat, Lautner revealed a few details about "Twilight Saga: Eclipse", the third installment in the franchise.

Lautner discussed how tough it was to maintain his muscular physique. He stated, "It’s tough. It’s a challenge,definitely.It’s just as hard to keep it on as it was to put in on,originally.” Next he talked a little bit about “Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” He said, Well, if you’ve read the books, you know what’s comin,but it gets exciting. There’s definitely a lot more action. No surprises. The fans no what’s comin, but it gets good."

Full Twilight Saga : Eclipse Script Leaks Online

“Twilight” fans who know for a fact they can’t wait until this summer to see what happens in the upcoming installment of the franchise, “Eclipse,” now have the chance to take a look at an early but full draft of the script. According to Deadline Hollywood, the copy belonged to actor Jackson Rathbone who misplaced it and, of course, it has now surfaced online.

The moment fans heard that a copy of the “Eclipse” script was available for download, they asked themselves whether it was not a virus, as it’s been known to be the case. The aforementioned movie-oriented publication can confirm that there is no virus, and the document is genuine, though whether it’s the final version of the script could not be verified. Summit Entertainment, the movie studio behind “Twilight,” is refusing to comment on the leak.

“The Internet is in a frenzy about what is purported to be the full script of the 3rd installment of the Twilight Saga leaked as a downloadable .pdf file. It appears to belong to Jackson Rathbone who plays Jasper in the film franchise. Now I can confirm that it is an early version of the Eclipse script (not the shooting script) and it is Rathbone’s (who probably left it behind at a blood bank),” Deadline Hollywood says.

With all this, it could very well be that the leak fails to leave any marks on the commercial success of the franchise, the e-zine goes on to say. Aside from the fact that most fans have already read the third book, on which the film is based, therefore are well familiar with what will happen in the movie as well, “Twilight” is by now such a massive phenomenon that there are too few things that could bring it down. If very harsh reviews could not have a negative impact on “New Moon,” it’s easy to see why a leaked script would not even leave a figurative dent in the upcoming installment.

“Does it matter? Of course not. Like duh, the script is based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling book. Judging from New Moon’s worldwide grosses of $682M so far, I say not even this copyright infringement can stop the Twilight Saga juggernaut,” Deadline Hollywood says.

Twilight Saga : Eclipse News Kristen Stewart Incredible to Work With

While her entry into The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was under rather unsavory circumstances, Bryce Dallas Howard has been putting her best foot forward for Twilight fans by showing complete respect for her predecessor in character portrayal Rachelle Lefevre.

Recently, too, Howard paid some much-deserved homage to co-star Kristen Stewart in an interview with MTV.

"Kristen is fantastic and so, so passionate about this role and this character," she said. " Kristen was incredible to work with, incredible."

Twilight Saga Facts

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has been in cinemas for almost a week. So, depending on your feelings towards sparkly vampires and extremely buff werewolves, you will either have seen it three times already (ZOMG RPattz!) or avoided it altogether. Either way, the pandemonium has subsided enough for us to look to the future. It's just seven months until Eclipse, the third installment of Stephenie Meyer's popular book series, hits the big screen. RT caught up with the cast in LA's Four Seasons hotel during their manic New Moon press tour to get the latest on the eagerly anticipated film. We learned that Robert Pattinson hates pranks, that Nikki Reed loves werewolves and that we may just see a fifth film.

Fact #1: It's Darker

The brand new poster for Eclipse hints at a darker tone with its brooding storm clouds. With 30 Days of Night director David Slade at the helm, it's unsurprising. "Every movie is different because we work with a different director on each one, which I love," Taylor Lautner tells RT. "David Slade is perfect for the third film because it's darker. Eclipse was my favorite book."

Ashley Greene, who plays vampire Alice, tells RT that Slade isn't just a prince of darkness. "David is actually hysterical," she laughs, "He has such a dry sense of humor that sometimes you don't know if he's kidding or not. Eclipse will be amazing because he has made it far edgier and more dramatic. It's going to look very cool."

Fact #2: There Will Be Less "Love Story" and More "War"

"Eclipse isn't as intimate as Twilight or New Moon," Robert Pattinson explains to us. "We're at war, so I get to interact with more characters, not just Kristen. You'll also find out more about the other members of the Cullen family. It just feels bigger." But -- fear not, Twihards -- that isn't to say the love story is cast aside altogether. "New Moon set up a love triangle with Bella, Edward and Jacob," says Lautner. "So we explore that further in Eclipse. It's a tough situation for all of them because Bella is torn between two guys, Jacob can't get the girl that he loves and then there's Edward, with all of his issues."

Fact #3: The Werewolves Will Crank Up the Sex Appeal

"We all know the appeal of the vampire family," says Nikki Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie. "But the werewolf boys are on a whole different level. They interact with a youthful, playful, comfortable warmth. It's very sexy."

As for Pattinson, he admits that his personal jealousy about Taylor Lautner's newly-ripped physique actually comes in handy for the role. "In Eclipse, Taylor and I have lots of scenes together where we have to be jealous and petty with each other," he says. "So it helps that I actually do feel inadequate when I see his body, especially because he's younger than me. He fulfills every criteria of what teenage girls want, physically, in a guy. I felt like a had to prove myself against him

Fact #4: There's More Action

"Filming Eclipse actually changed my life," says Nikki Reed of the arduous training regime the cast had to endure. "I have never been so fit -- this is the first time in my life I have actually had a bicep. It's bizarre to compare how we look now to how we all looked in the first movie. The entire cast turned up on set for Eclipse looking super-buff."

New cast member Bryce Dallas Howard tried to play a prank on the crew during one stunt, but she didn't count on Pattinson's awkwardness. "We had a fight scene where Bryce had to grab my hair," he laughs. "So she took a clump of hair from my stunt double's wig and was going to pretend she had pulled it from my head. She told me to scream and storm off set, but it was so embarrassing. She had this huge clump of hair in her hand, and I was like 'oww,' really unconvincingly."

While the rest of the cast were having fun with stunts, spare a thought for poor Taylor Lautner. "Eclipse is a lot more physical for my character," he explains, "but any time I have any kind of action, I'm a wolf, so it's all done with CGI. It's a bummer."

Fact #5: The Ending Will Be Nicely Set Up For a Fourth - And Perhaps Fifth - Film

There are four books in The Twilight Saga: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. But Ashley Greene gave RT the strongest indication yet that there might be five films. "We have finished filming Eclipse and one would assume that, if New Moon does as well as Twilight, then we'll start filming Breaking Dawn next year," she says.

"The only thing is, Breaking Dawn is a very large book so it would be a really long movie. We're thinking they might decide to split it into two parts, like they did with Harry Potter. Either way, we need to get on with shooting them because, unlike Harry Potter, vampires don't age. So we all need to look the same!"

Twilight Saga : Eclipse will be a Major Box Office

TORONTO, CA (Hollywood Today) 11/19/2009 – If you think “New Moon” is going to do major box office, wait till you get a bite of “Twilight III,” also known as “Eclipse,” this coming summer.

It will be a full five-day opening that includes the Independence Day holiday weekend, compared to “New Moon’s” measly three-day opening on a non-holiday (Thanksgiving isn’t until next week).

“Eclipse” will also be a summit of vampire vs. werewolf action as Bella (Kristen Stewart) must choose between toothy Edward (Rob Pattinson) and furry Jacob (Taylor Lautner), as well as mortality vs. immortality.

With lines already formed for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” set to be unleashed today, bloodthirsty teenage fans will no doubt turn their attention and wallets to the  third installment of the vampire romance franchise sooner rather than later.

It’s been known in industry and extreme fan circles that Summit Entertainment is planning on releasing “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” June 30, 2010 in conjunction with the Independence Day holiday weekend. The release date for the third film breaks the consecutive streak of pre-Thanksgiving weekend openings for “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” Despite the hype and anticipation that has built over the past year for the sequel, Summit Entertainment’s decision to release “Eclipse” only seven months after “New Moon” is a crafty one. The 2010 pre-Thanksgiving weekend has already been claimed by “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (Part 1),” which meant that “Eclipse” would either have to go head-to-head with the first part of the final film of the Harry Potter series or wait until 2011 to regain its pre-Thanksgiving weekend timing. As it currently stands, no other potential blockbusters are scheduled for release June 30, 2010.

“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.”

Twilight Saga : Eclipse An MTV Interview with Twilight Cast

MTV Interviews Jamie Campbell Bower which answers questions on Rob, Kellan tries to add scenes to New Moon and Billy Burke tells us what is on his iPod. See more below:



Q: What is Rob Pattinson like behind the scenes?

Campbell Bower: Well, he’s into his music. He loves all kinds of music. I don’t know if there’s a tidbit I could give, a snippet of his life that I could give. He’s just a normal guy. I feel for him already, because people just want to know everything about him and feel like they own [people who are that famous]. It’s tough, man. It’s tough for them.

MTV: But Rob’s experience could be a preview of what’s to come for you after “New Moon.” Does that kind of fame concern you?

Campbell Bower: I don’t know. Probably not, just because of the character. I think people won’t be as in love with the character Caius as they would be in love with Edward. [Laughs.]

Kellan Lutz

Q: We know there will be more Edward in the “New Moon” movie than there was in the book, but did you and the other Cullens ever try to lobby for more screen time as well?

Lutz: I think I really tried to. I tried to throw in my two cents, to see if Emmett and Rosalie could have a honeymoon again in Italy so we could be around and be part of the whole situation of Edward, Alice and Bella. [But the script] has to really follow the book, because the fans are so die-hard about what happened in the book. I mean, I had a line that was in the [”Twilight”] trailers that wasn’t in the book, and I heard some of the fans saying, “That’s not in the book!” Like, “What the heck is up with that?” So, in “New Moon,” the script is very similar to the book and the Cullens are in where they would be in, and they aren’t put in anywhere else.

MTV: It would be kind of cheesy if Edward and Bella just happened to bump into the Cullens in Italy.

Lutz: [Laughs.] Well, I thought it would be a fun idea. Because my character, as well as Nikki Reed’s Rosalie, we go away to college. We’re a year older, along with Jasper and Alice, so I think it could be a cool thing to maybe show a clip of them somewhere — a fun honeymoon, away from the rest of the family. But, no.

Billy Burke

Q: What music is on your iPod playlist?

Burke: I have a huge, hugely eclectic collection. There’s a lot of the stuff that’s swimming out there right now. I’m a big Kings of Leon fan, then I like some of the older [stuff]. I like old Billy Joel, old Elton John. I’m a huge Tom Waits fan. I have his entire collection. And a lot of Peter Murphy’s stuff with Bauhaus. Then the other side of that, I like country music as well. I’ve got a lot of country music on there. So, it runs the gamut.

MTV: We all remember those shots a few months ago of the “Eclipse” cast at the Kings of Leon concert. Were you there?

Burke: I was not there. I was gone. I come to the set for a week, two weeks at a time, and then I’m away. And I happened to be away at that time during that week, which was kind of a pisser.

MTV: That must have sucked, to see the photos online of your friends at a concert by one of your favorite bands.

Burke: Yeah, and they probably got carte blanche to do anything they wanted, like hang out, go backstage, whatever. But you know what? That’s OK, because I probably would have felt like the old guy hanging out with them anyways.

Twilight Saga News : Tim Burton To Direct Breaking Dawn

Jimmy Campbell Bower wants Tim Burton to direct the fourth installment of Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn. This news article comes from MTV.com

Tim Burton digs supernatural stories: the goth-comic ghost tale of "Beetlejuice," the headless killer from the great beyond in "Sleepy Hollow," the undead love story of "Corpse Bride." In a way, Burton knows vampires too, resurrecting Bela Lugosi — the definitive cinematic Count Dracula — in the Oscar-winning biopic "Ed Wood."

All of this has made "New Moon" vampire Jamie Campbell Bower think that Burton should direct "Breaking Dawn," the expected film adaptation of the final book in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series.

"It'd be cool if Burton came and did 'Breaking Dawn,' " Campbell Bower told MTV News of his "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" director. "I think he'd just change it up. I think he'd screw around with it quite a lot, and aesthetically, I think it'd be incredibly different. I don't know if the fans would like it, but I'd sure like it."

Unlike other blockbuster franchises, all three "Twilight" films have been helmed by different directors. Catherine Hardwicke oversaw the first one, Chris Weitz took over for "New Moon" and — following rumors about Drew Barrymore and Juan Antonio Bayona — David Slade was selected for "Eclipse," which wrapped late last month. Though "Breaking Dawn" has not officially been announced, it's all but certain to move toward production.

"Nothing is confirmed as of yet," said Bower, who plays hot-tempered Volturi vampire Caius. "They've got some things to figure out."

While Bower threw his support behind Burton, another name that has cropped up in discussions about the fourth book — which, it has been rumored, might be split into two movies — is Weitz.

"No official offer has been made," the director said in October about directing "Breaking Dawn." "The fans have been enthusiastic about the ['New Moon'] footage and the trailer, and the studio responds to that by feeling good about me. We'll have to see how people feel about the entire movie, not only the studio but the fans, before the verdict is out whether I direct # 4."

Twilight Saga : Eclipse New Movie Poster

Fans don't have to wait any longer to see the first promotional poster for "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse", in which Taylor Lautner has been slated to reprise his werewolf role, Jacob Black. On Wednesday, November 4, Dread Central has unraveled the first teaser poster for the movie.

The site claimed the teaser poster has been debuted at American Film Market conference in Los Angeles recently. Along with the picture, the site also offers fans glimpses at the promotional posters for 2011 movie "Conan", Russell Mulcahy-helmed flick "Bait", and two independent movies, "Outpost II" as well as "Phobia 2".

About "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse", the third installment of "Twilight" film franchise will center on Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan who once again finds herself surrounded by danger. Seattle, in the meantime, is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge.

In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen and her friendship with Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black. She knows 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. Summit Entertainment plans to drop the flick in U.S. theaters on June 30, 2010.

Twilight Saga : Eclipse News Peter Murphy Films His Cameo Appearance

When "30 Days of Night" filmmaker David Slade took the reins of the "Twilight" sequel "Eclipse," his appointment seemed to raise more questions than answers. Would the über-violent filmmaker create the bloodiest film of the franchise? Would he attempt to broaden its appeal beyond women and teenage girls? How much of the creative voice would he wrestle away from Stephenie Meyer and make his own?

Now, many of those details are coming into view via a top-secret cameo Slade has filmed ... with a 1980s new-wave rock icon.

"[When I was young], I was a huge fan of a guy who does a cameo in 'Eclipse,' a guy named Peter Murphy," revealed Billy Burke, the veteran actor who plays Bella's father, Charlie Swan, when he stopped by the MTV studios this week. "He used to be the singer of Bauhaus."

Bauhaus pioneered the "goth rock" music genre from 1978-1983, and although they were never hugely successful commercially, the band made a mark with such memorable songs as "Bela Lugosi's Dead," which the band is seen performing in the opening scenes of the 1983 vampire flick "The Hunger" (starring David Bowie and Catherine Deneueve), a longtime goth touchstone. In the years that followed, Murphy launched a solo career that featured early MTV hit videos like "Cuts You Up" and "All Night Long."

"He came in for a cameo, and I was wildly excited about that," marveled Burke, who has his own musical career on the side from his acting. "I saw his name on the call sheet, and I had to give him a call and ask him to have some dinner with me, because I was a huge fan when I was growing up."

The so-called Godfather of Goth, who used to rise from coffins onstage and drive a hearse, is appropriately enough portraying a vampire. "He plays a vampire in a flashback sequence," explained Burke. "I didn't get to see any of it, but all reports from the director David Slade, and everyone around say he just kicked ass. I'm real excited to see it."

Rather than a Volturi or a Cullen, however, he's playing a predecessor of the warring vampire factions. "[His role] started out as an old Spanish, sort of unrelated vampire, in a flashback sequence," he explained, saying the flashback involves Gil Birmingham's wheelchair-bound Quileute elder. "Billy Black's talking and telling the story of the werewolves, how they evolved, and how they met the vampires and stuff. [Murphy's cameo is] in a sequence that involves that."

Although odds are that most "Twilight" fans aren't rocking out to Bauhaus on a regular basis, the cameo is important because it seems to shed a bit of light on Slade's vision for the third "Twilight" film. Hiring a goth pioneer from the '80s could indicate his eagerness to embrace an older audience and a darker, more violent, possibly more male-friendly tone. It also shows that Slade, who rose to prominence with the twisted indie film "Hard Candy," isn't afraid to veer off Stephenie Meyer's written pages from time to time.

"I wasn't there during the filming of his scenes," Burke sighed, adding that 19-year-old star and punk-loving actress Kristen Stewart also "did appreciate" Murphy being on set. "I was gone that particular day. But we did end up going and hanging out, and had some dinner and drinks; he was so open to talk about everything — the glory days of Bauhaus and his present career. He was just an awesome guy."
