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.

Pattinson may end up with a multi-million pound share

Robert Pattinson may end up with a multi-million pound share of earnings from the latest project in the hit Twilight series.

The 22-year-old, who plays vampire Edward Cullen, was said to be set for a double treat from the series based on books by Stephanie Meyer.

Bosses at Summit Entertainment were allegedly mulling splitting the final novel, Breaking Dawn, into two parts after the latest film, New Moon, raked in the nearly 300 million pounds in just two weeks of its opening.

“It’s an extraordinary cash cow and the company wants to keep it going for as long as possible. They’re giving very serious consideration to the idea,” the Daily Express quoted a source as saying.

The source added: “A lot of cheque-waving and glad-handing would have to happen if the plan goes ahead. No one is locked into a fifth movie so the key talent could be looking at multi- million pound pay days.”

Terence Doyle, editor of British Film Magazine, also said: “Pattinson is central to the franchise and could basically name his price. Right now he’s the biggest star of his generation.”

Special Twilight Saga Surprise

Summit Entertainment's official "Twilight" twitter page has reached a whopping 200,000 followers and have promised them a "Twilight Saga" related surprise. They wrote on via Twitter: "Thanks for getting us over 200K followers! Stay tuned...we are preparing a very special Twilight Saga surprise for you. I'm actually quite curious as to what they're going to do. I mean, what can they do? "New Moon" is already in theaters and the next film in the franchise "Eclipse" doesn't hit theaters until June 30, 2010. Perhaps a new poster for the movie? Maybe a very short teaser? Who knows what the studio has up their sleeve, but you'd better stay tuned to find out and that's coming from the mouths of the folks at Summit themselves.

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 : New Moon Review

Here's the New Moon review coming from Tim Robey of telegraph.co.uk.

On one level, the appeal of the Twilight franchise is obvious: heartache sells, sexy vampires are on trend, and there’s something about the unattainability of Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen (and by extension, R.Pattz himself) which gives his fans the sense of ownership they demand.

For the non-Robsessed, connecting with the mythology of Stephenie Meyer’s series is a different matter -- it’s a pick ‘n’ mix of watered-down fantasy concepts in chalk-white emo styling. The middle hour (of what feels like three) will induce not just heavy R.Pattz withdrawal in the key audience -- Edward dumps Bella (Kristen Stewart) and disappears for her own safety -- but catalepsy in anyone wanting stuff to, you know, happen. She falls in with newly-buff Quileute neighbour Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and they fix up motorbikes, until he finally comes out as a werewolf.

Under Chris Weitz’s direction, the actors have gained some confidence, and this chaste love triangle among creatures of the night has all the requisite looks of tortured longing. What it misses is any animating pulse: we just wait and wait for the bleeding obvious. The movie is best enjoyed for its dowdy sops to teen culture -- vampires with email addresses, lycanthropes with six-packs -- but for anyone on the outside looking in, the insulation of the characters from real danger makes it a bit of a drag.

Interview with The Twilight Saga : New Moon Star Robert Pattinson

Seemingly overnight, Robert Pattinson went from playing Voldemort's roadkill in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to being the immortal half of one of the hottest screen couples of all time. He spoke with TIME about how he landed the role of Twilight's Byronic vampire Edward Cullen, what it's like to be a generational crush and how to walk unmolested along the streets of Vancouver.

TIME: You took on an edgy vampire movie and it's become this. Did you know what you were signing up for?

Robert Pattinson: I had no idea it was going to be like this. I really had no idea until... I guess I still don't. The time that it hit me really was when we were shooting in Italy and the emotional reaction — it wasn't just screaming. It was like people were so intently listening and watching. After every take there was polite applause. And it wasn't hysteria. It was literally devotion to the characters. It was amazing. I haven't felt that in any other situation.

Casting Edward was crucial to the franchise. What did Catherine Hardwicke see in you?

I don't know. I was a little intimidated by Kristen in my audition. So I played it like a guy who is beating himself up a lot about everything. I don't think anyone else did it like that. I think they concentrated on the confidence aspect. If you read the book, you know he's the perfect man, ideal man. If you're a guy you have certain ideals about what you think is attractive. And that's why I didn't go into it for ages, because I thought I'd end up being silly in the audition. I'd be posing. I guess I tried to ignore every aspect of the confident hero of the story. And I played the extreme opposite. It didn't end up being that in the film.

If they'd cast the other guy for Edward, would the franchise have been as successful as it is today?

I honestly don't know. No matter how famous I get as an individual, it's always evened — or even surpassed — by the fame of Edward Cullen. That's got to mean something. I don't mind that. That's just the way it is.

Why are America and the world so mental about it?

I was just in Japan, but when I first went there in February, the people who went to the fan events there were mainly people who went to American schools. This time it was entirely Japanese the audience. No one could really speak English, but they reacted in the same way as they have around the world. Even the distributor was saying, Japanese audiences don't react like this. And they were stunned by the whole thing.

There must be this weird, primal thing in people that they react to. There are so many love stories that come out. So many vampire stories that come out. Even the load of vampire stories coming out now have the exact same story line. This doesn't have the same reaction. I think it's all about being part of a club. People used to say it was a guilty pleasure. But I don't even think it is that anymore. I think people genuinely appreciate that they are part of something.

How can it continue at this level?

I have no idea. It kind of feeds on itself by the looks of things. It seems to have got from the beginning of this year to now. I was just talking to the head of the studio who said they are only 25 percent through the campaign for New Moon. And the tracking on the movie is ridiculous. Even random celebrities are asked, What do you think of Twilight? It's insane. I remember saying at Comic-con last year that I didn't know where it could go from there. I didn't know how much bigger it could get. I guess this time they are getting guys to watch it. Guys were the only other place left to go

Yes, man is the Twilight growth market. They shoot the movies very quickly for a lot of reasons — momentum for one, but also because vampires don't age. Does that throw pressure on you to, well, look exactly the same?

I don't really think about that. I think I definitely look older in this one. But then I look younger in the third one, which is just weird.

A whole generation will remember you as Edward. You're a generational crush. Is that hard to live up to or difficult to accept?

There's no living up to it. I think the major fear is just fighting too hard against it. Most people who have a downfall from a like situation is when they do try to fight, and fight and fight: I'm not this teeny bopper person, blah, blah, blah. Even if a lot of people see me and the franchise as like that, I never have, at any point. But I don't feel the need to fight against it. I've never tried to pander to any kind of audience. I've tried to make the films as intelligent and uncheesy as you could. And I've tried to make them the best they can be. I've never thought about it any other way. So I hope that pays off.

A lot of celebs use disguises to escape their bubble. What's been your worst?

In Vancouver, shooting New Moon, I tried something. They have this thought that no one there wears hoods except for problem people. It's the only city in the world where hoods are not fashionable. It's like if you're wearing a hood you're going to mug people. So it's a boring disguise, but it worked when I wore a hood. And then I'd sort of spit on the ground a little bit and do a little bit of shaking around as you're walking. Everyone moved around to the other side of the street.

Can you go out of the bubble?

You can go out. The only difficulty is when there are people waiting outside the exits where you are going. You will get followed. It's the following that's the worst part. If it's just getting a photo taken outside the exit, that would be OK. But it's the following that takes away your freedom.

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 Cast Rumors Kristen Stewart is a Lesbian?!

Here's a rumor from hollywoodinsider.ew.com about Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison.

Kristen Stewart, the 19-year-old star of the Twilight franchise, knows that she can come across as sullen and self-conscious in the public eye. But during an exclusive EW roundtable in Vancouver, Canada, where the cast was prepping for their last week of the Eclipse shoot and then the immediate onslaught of publicity for the November 20th release of New Moon, Stewart was funny, quick and outspoken in a wide-ranging conversation with co-stars Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson.

Asked about the endless rumors of her supposed off-screen romance with Pattinson, for instance, Stewart got nicely fired up. “I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it,” she said. “But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about ‘Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f*cking give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?’”

Pattinson himself, who clearly loathes confrontation, tried to softly interject with philosophical statements about the need for an actor to hold onto his individuality. But Stewart cut him off. “I’ve thought about this a lot,” she said. “There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: ‘Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.’ I’m just trying to keep something,” she said. “If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I’d be like ‘F*ck off!’ I would answer the exact same way.” Without missing a beat, Pattinson looked at Lautner, promising “Me too.”


What do you think? Is this rumor true?

Twilight Saga : An Interview with Peter Facinelli

Having featured the members of Twilight’s Wolf Pack, VanityFair.com is switching its allegiance to vampires. On a frigid day in New York City, I caught up with actor Peter Facinelli in between his “medical” commitments—he plays a human doctor on Showtime’s Nurse Jackie and a bloodsucking one, the 400-year-old Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in the Twilight saga—to discuss how New Moon differs from the first Twilight movie, his role as a father figure on and off the set, and what he really thinks of his fellow vampires.

As the patriarch of the Cullen clan, have you assumed a similar fatherly role with the cast?
You know, on Twilight I feel like they looked to me as the father figure, but because we became so close, I’m more of an older brother now.

Has there been a difference in the way you interact as a cast since you filmed Twilight?
Rob[ert Pattinson] has more security guards hanging around him! [Laughs] Other than that, not really. We really enjoy each other’s company, and we’ve been working so much on this movie that we really haven’t had as much time to hang out with each other. We’re putting in these long hours and then just heading home. Usually we just try to catch dinner with each other then get back up the next morning and do it all over again.

What would you say is the one major thing that has changed about your life since starting the franchise?
I’m traveling a lot more than I used to and interacting with a lot more people. The fan base on this, I don’t know how else to explain it … it’s a cultural phenomenon. People will actually hop on a plane to see you. Sometimes I do these charity events, and people fly in to come and see me. I’m just really, really impressed with [the fan] dedication to these books and to the movies. I’ve always had a fan base with the work I’ve done, but never as rabid as this.

You seem pretty dedicated to them, too, judging by your Twitter page.
You know, I love connecting with the fans because I’m a fan of the books myself. They’re all so dedicated and wonderful to me that I love to be able to give back. So if stopping for a picture or signing a book of theirs puts a smile on their face, then that makes me happy, too. I kind of go out of my way to make sure—if there are fans hanging around the set—to try to stop and say hello to them before I get in the van. It takes five minutes to make people happy. I love interacting with them.

You’ve been working steadily since your early twenties—the same age that some of the Twilight cast members are now. Have you been able to offer any advice to any of them, especially at a time when they’ve suddenly been thrust into the spotlight?
I’ve had some conversations with some of the cast about careers because I’ve been working for fifteen years. They’re just starting out with their careers, and for a lot of them this is their first big break. I think they look to me and ask, How do you sustain that? It’s still a mystery to me, too! I feel very lucky. For me it’s about longevity and not about just one movie. It’s got to be a scary time for them because this movie is giving them lots of opportunities. It’s up to them to steer this journey into a career, and not just be part of Twilight and be gone. I look at them, and it’s got to be pretty scary to have that much on their shoulders pretty quick, but I think they’re really talented, really smart, and I think that they’re going to be fine.

What has this done for your career?
I’ve done a lot of movies and different roles, and this is another role that I love to play. I look forward to continue doing a lot more. It’s definitely broadened my fan base even with my own kids. For a long time, they didn’t get to see any of the work I’ve done because of the mature content.

Have any of your daughters seen Twilight?
All three of them have seen it! They’re ages twelve, six, and three. They love it. The 12-year-old has read the first two books, so she loves the movie. My 6-year-old loves it even more; she wants to watch it all the time! Now the 3-year-old, because the 6 year-old likes it, wants to watch it all the time, too. I asked her what she liked about it and she said, “I like the scary parts.”

Have they met the cast? Did they get excited?
My kids are pretty unaffected. They don’t get too star-struck. To them it’s just “Dad’s friends,” which is kind of nice.

How does New Moon differ from Twilight?
You know, Twilight was an independent movie. It was shot very documentary style, the way Catherine [Hardwicke, Twilight’s director] shoots. It has a rawness to it, which I think is nice. New Moon’s a little bit crisper, it has a little bit more of a studio feel, but it still has that edge.

What’s it like playing the same character for three different directors?
That gets interesting. It’s exciting in one way because every director brings their own flavor to the movie. Each director’s personality is different so you kind of have to adapt to their way of working, but I’ve had really good experiences on all three. Sometimes it’s nice working with the same person over and over because there’s a familiarity, but I’m used to working with different directors. On Nurse Jackie we get different directors on each episode. I like it because they bring different ideas and make you think of things you might not have thought of before—pushing you to look at it from different angles. I think it’s harder on the directors to come in and try to make these movies as grand as Twilight was and take on the responsibility of getting the story accurate in terms of telling it from the book. Then they have a whole cast that they haven’t dealt with before, so I think it would be more daunting for the director.

You have so many new cast members coming into it, too …
Our group is such a great bunch that we’re all so welcoming. It’s like broadening your family base. With open arms, we were there waiting. They came out to dinners with us and just became part of the family.

Speaking of family, will you please give me one word to describe each of the Cullen clan actors starting with Kellan Lutz?
Ok. [Laughs] Goofy!

Nikki Reed:
Complex.

Jackson Rathbone:
Artistic.

Kristen Stewart:
Sweet.

Elizabeth Reaser:
Awesome.

Ashley Greene:
Pixie-ish, she’s like a fairy—she’s so light on her feet. Bubbly, that’s the word.

Rob Pattinson:
Mmm, Rob. Rob’s a good one. It’s hard to narrow down to one. So many words come to mind!
Brooding, tortured … but he’s a good kid. What’s the word for a solidly good guy?

Solid?
Solid. He is. He’s solid.

Finally, what your word of the day?
Cold!

Official Summit Entertainment Announcement : Twilight

Here's the official announcement of SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT on bringing back Twilight for one night only before the premiere of Twilight Saga : New Moon.

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT LISTENS TO FANS AND BRINGS BACK TWILIGHT FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY TO SELECT THEATRES NATIONWIDE ON NOVEMBER 19th

Select Theatres to Play Blockbuster Film at Reduced Ticket Price

Los Angeles, CA October 29, 2009 - Responding to the fans of THE TWILIGHT SAGA, Summit Entertainment announced today that it will re-release TWILIGHT, the first film in the franchise, at select theatres nationwide on November 19th, a day before the highly anticipated release of the movie’s sequel, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON. Despite the first film already being on DVD, fans across the nation have been calling out to see the film once again on the big screen and the studio is honoring their request.

Summit is working with exhibitors to screen TWILIGHT one night only with screenings in the evening just before THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON arrives in theatres. Select theatres will offer tickets at a reduced price.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON directed by Chris Weitz and starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner will be released November 20, 2009. In the film, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella Swan (Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of-only to find herself in greater peril than ever before. Following Edward Cullen’s (Pattinson) departure from Forks, Washington, Bella discovers his image comes to her whenever she puts herself in jeopardy. In time Bella’s frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob Black (Lautner) who has a supernatural secret of his own.

The TWILIGHT film series tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen, a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together…even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. The action-packed, modern day vampire love story TWILIGHT, the first film in the series, was released in theatres on November 21, 2008 to a blockbuster reception. The second installment of the film franchise, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, will be released November 20, 2009. The third film in the franchise, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is due in theaters on June 30, 2010.

Twilight Saga : Eclipse + New Moon Trailer

Eclipse may have already rocked its wrap party, but the goodies from the third installment of the Twilight Saga have only just begun.

Amidst all the fun that's kicking off with New Moon hitting theaters in less than a month, the Eclipse title treatment isn't necessarily the most exciting Twi-thing going down, but it's sure worth the tease.

No, it doesn't feature new images of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart making out or anything, but we totally know there'll be plenty of that next year when the film comes out.
Eclipse gets a much sharper, daggerlike makeover than New Moon had, and sits in blood red shadows. Very ominous. Kind of like Dakota Fanning's scary red eyes.

The Twilight Twitter launched the image earlier than it had promised—it vowed to show us the title when it eclipsed 200,000 followers and it's still nowhere close. But instead, it's promising something else just as tantalizing when it hits that big number, so you might want to hit that "follow" button.

Not enough action to jump start your week? Hold on to your seats, folks...

Twilight Casts are Playing a Twilight Game

"The Twilight Saga" has spawned hundreds of different merchandise that you can find anywhere from Hot Topic to Borders to Nordstrom. When MTV got a chance to sit down with the cast to promote our exclusive clip (debuting tomorrow night on MTV during the Ulalume Festival at 9pm ET/PT!), they asked the cast the pressing question of whether or not they own any of their own merchandise.

"I do not," admitted Jackson Rathbone, "however my bandmate Ben Graupner actually bought a Jasper pillowcase with my face on it and I had to ritualistically burn it because it was scaring me."

Not all of the cast were so negative about the merch. Ashley Greene admitted she owned a few t-shirts and, of course, the Alice Cullen necklace.

Elizabeth Reaser only has her director's chair with her name on it, but said her mother owned some Esme bracelets. "I'm sure I could borrow one from her if I wanted," she said with a laugh.

Though Kellan Lutz didn't appear in this interview series, Ashley gave away his dark, dirty, "Twilight"-merch buying secret.

"While filming 'Eclipse,' Kellan bought the 'Twilight' game and we'd play," Ashley said. "We made Xavier play it — the poor new kid." She said Peter Facinelli also joined in on the fun.

Elizabeth admitted she probably should take a souvineir home from the set of "Eclipse" with her. "Maybe I can get Rob to sign it," she laughed.

As for Nikki Reed, we don't believe for a second her claim, "No, I don't have an Edward doll. I don't." Sounds like a trailer-raid time to us.

Taylor Lautner Seen Departing the Twilight Saga : Eclipse




Taylor Lautner seen departing Twilight “Eclipse” in the photo (above),according to Laineygossip.com. Both Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene were spotted at the airport in Vancouver, Canada two days ago.

They were reportedly making their final exits from filming “Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which is the 3rd installment of the “Twilight Saga” movie series. Now, they will be headed on the “Twilight Saga: New Moon” promotion trail,since it’s due out in less than a month from now.

However, there are a few more “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” movie scenes yet to be filmed,they report. The last scenes to be shot will be in studio. One of them includes Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) beating and killing the vampire, Victoria. So I guess Bryce Dallas Howard will only get a taste of acting in only one of the “Twilight Saga” movies.

It’s also reported that one of the final scenes will involve Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) trying to give Edward a “hand job”. I’m not totally sure how true that is,but that’s what she says her sources told her.

“Twilight Saga: Eclipse” hits theaters on Jue 30,2010. “Twilight Saga: New Moon” is right around the corner,with a November 20, 2009 release.

Twilight Saga : Eclipse Film Date

Finally, the dawn of Eclipse is upon us.

Filming of the third installment of The Twilight Saga began today. It's only been, like, a million years (OK, three months) since New Moon wrapped!

Photos of the fantasy couple—Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart—together again have already begun circulating and we couldn't be more excited to see those that'll inevitably slide down the pipeline in the weeks to come.

The David Slade-directed film centers around Bella struggling to choose between BF Edward or BFF Jacob as her friends and loved ones are under attack by the evil vampire overlords, the Volturi. You know you're getting (v)amped up just thinking about it!

Eclipse will make its debut in theaters on June 30, 2010, exactly 222 days after New Moon.

Twilight Saga : Eclipse

Although they said they were waiting until they hit 200,000 followers on Twitter, Summit Entertainment went ahead and released the title treatment artwork for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse this evening, and of course we've got a look at it for you ... in all its sparkly glory.

Meanwhile, Eclipse director David Slade has been an active tweeter these past couple of days as filming winds down. His latest 140-character message? "Last day on the battlefield, shot a huge day, tomorrow there may be a party, while battles ensue on mountain tops..."

Lest you forget that New Moon is about to premiere and its lead actors are today's equivalent of rock stars, Summit Entertainment is kicking off a New Moon Cast Tour in November that will visit 15 cities nationwide.

It all starts in Los Angeles, CA, at the Hollywood & Highland Center on Friday, November 6th, with a special event open to the public where fans will be treated with performances by several bands featured on the New Moon soundtrack scheduled to include Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina, Sea Wolf, and Band of Skulls. Other stops denoted with an asterisk (*) below will also feature live music from various soundtrack bands. Best of all, fans can attend a Question & Answer forum with many of the movie’s cast members.

Those who acquire VIP credentials on October 31st will be granted access to a special event with select cast members at their respective malls, and that's where things get a little tricky. For the chance to register and meet cast members, fans need to visit Hot Topic or select Nordstrom stores at 8:00 am on October 31st at one of the participating mall locations. They will be given access to return and meet select cast members at that same mall on the assigned scheduled date and time. VIP credentials provided on October 31st are limited and will be distributed on a first-come/first-served basis to those who make qualifying purchases. VIP credentials are non-transferable.
