Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie Director Announced

RobPattinsonByRachelChang.jpg

Chris Weitz is still in the midst of directing The Twilight Saga: New Moon in Vancouver right now -- but the director for the third movie in the series, Eclipse, has already been announced.

Horror movie director, David Slade, who also directed 30 Days of Night, will be the director of Eclipse. The movie hits theaters in summer 2010.

Each Twilight film has had a different director. The first film was directed by Thirteen's Catherine Hardwicke.

That's awesome!!!
I had heard the rumor about him being considered, but it's official now? Wow!

I think he'll be great, 30 Days of Night was really scary. He definately has the vampire thing down.
The only thing i'm concerned about is the romance in it. :/ im wondering if he's experienced at all in that area.

But i'm still excited!!

I really don't care who directs the movies as long as they are produced.

I just hope they are pg-13 because that's all my mom will let me see and that's messed up right.

T2Yalatta, AlLiSoN=]

I can't wait until NEW MOON comes out!!!!!
i just finished reading the whole series two days ago
(it's my second time) its soo awesome!
im addicted to it!!! i can't help it!!!!

WOW! I wish they would stop changing the directors already i mean seriously! Oh well though if their good (and pg13) then okay i'll deal. plus hey maybe it will make them more different like one may have more action, or romance, or drama just SOMETHING1 flare it up a little. ;)

(fyi: i only say the pg-13 thing cause i cant watch anything above that... =/)

omg that wud be great the cocern for me is eclipse is a love triangle and i cant wait for taylor lautner to act a love triangle !!!!!!!!!!!!

megan jonas-cullen on April 23, 2009 6:41 AM

so does that mean there are gonna be a lot of slasher scenes in eclipse? will the end fight scene be more gruesome? lol

i thought drew barrymore was gonna direct Eclipse. thats what i heard on FFE. i knew it wasnt official, but i was kinda hoping for her...

oh well...as long as Eclipse isnt ruined

(wag of my finger at New Moon director!!!)

Omg!!!! i cant belive that they are coming out with Eclipse!!! (but if itz pg-13 i can see it) anything higher than that im screwed!! anyway in reallii stoked about New Moon cant wait!!! xDDDDDDD

Well I already knew Eclipse was going to be somewhat scary with the whole newborn vampires and all that stuff, so I guess it's fitting for this horror guy to direct it. But I hope he doesn't make it too scary. hahah.

The harry potter films switched directors a lot too, I believe.


*hums* I can't wait for New Moon! Taylor Lautner! Woo!


Team Jacob. Obviously. =]]

its really great that theyre going to film all 4 books. im a really big fan ;)

i can not wait until New Moon. Let alone the other series, It was fir sure that it was one of the best movies EVER.

OMG IM SOO0O0O0O EXCITED I SEROUSLY CANT WAITTTT
yeah i hope its still like romantic it probaly will be but because thats like the main thing but im really excited to see new moon &&&+ ecclispse i already have it marked on my calandar!!!!!! lol

omgggggggg idc bout director lol
i juss cnt wait for the NEW MOON
movie to come out!=DDD
i wannnnaa seee it!!!!!!!!
lol
TWILIGHT RULES!

HA HA HA!!!
30 days of night was so not scary!
I coudn't stop laughing when the weird
vampires was attacking humens!
for me it was more like a comedy movie!
anyways it was a great movie and I can't
wait for the new moon and eclipse movie to
arrive!

Stephenie Meyer and David Slade has a wild imagination.

SHEILA EsTeVeZ on April 23, 2009 5:48 PM

i think eclipse is coming out to early
they should really take their time on these movies to focus on details. also i am playing bree on eclipse. :)
cant wait!!

are they gonna get a new director for each movie? oh well! i bet new moon and eclipse and prob breaking dawn will be better then twilight just cuz the directors a diff person. catherine hardwike kinda ruined it for me

I can just picture it in my head. it looks way more then pretty. just like bella. and my friend wanted me to say........ I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN! SO STAY AWAY FROM HIM GIRLS! which i wasent going to put that but she is right next to me. i like edward but people who LOVE him are weird because they dont even no him. How can you love someone that you dont even no? well anyways............ GO TWILGHT, NEW MOON, ECLIPSE, BREAKING DAWN, and iam hoping there will be a....... MIDDNIGHT SUN!

Well thats cool i mean i dont care what the director does and i will love new moon and eclipse and breaking dawn. GO THE PEOPLE OF TWILIGHT AND NEW MOON AND ECLIPSE AND BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!!

Bella cullen on April 25, 2009 10:33 AM

I was just reading some of the coments and this one person said that they were laughing during 30 days of night. but i was covering my eyes and screaming. that was soooo scary. i hate scary movies. and there was this one part that a vampire smashed into the humans window and took the girl. that was scary and the girl turned into a vampire. i mean its differnt with bell turning into one. but some parts in the book make no sence cuz well... y does edward treat carlisle like a dad when he is really old. i wish i could ask stephenie meyer that and also ask her if she is makeing breaking dawn. and people say that robert smeels. my mom said that was funny and iam like so. thats ok. my mom read that on people.com. i could really care less about that. but i wish i could ask the cast some questions. and it wont be long. haha. ok it will. haha

bella cullen on April 25, 2009 10:55 AM

I feel so bad for u edward cuz this one girl just said that u are her babies dadies. WOW!!! and its kind of funny cuz i never herd of you having a baby. i thought that was sooo stuibed. wow that was just sooooo retarded.

i'm gonna miss Catherines directing skills from Twilight and new moon and as long as the next guy doesnt change the characters then eclipse will be great for me.

lol dat is so kewl i luv twilight but the books r better
lol

y do they keep changing directors?
ok so the first movie wasn't so good and I'm still waiting for the second movie to come out but still y dont they just get a really good director and keep them for the whole series.
I love the book they are amazing, changed the way I looked at things.

xx

i love twilight i am reading the 3rd book (eclispe) i love edward cullens he is so hot!!! I

Problem guys! They might not make Breaking dawn into a movie because of the steamy scenes and if it is made into a movie it will prolly be rated R. Which is fine for me cuz i am allowed to watch it. But maybe not for some of you guys. Stephanie Meyers doesn't think they will be able to make a movie out of it though! I think it is a good thing that they are switching directors! We need change and each of the movies should be different. some should have more action and flare and romance than others! Cant wait!

alexandra.v. on May 10, 2009 12:30 PM

I hope that they can make all movies, cuz it just won't be the same without them all!

I think that that david slade is awesome to awesome but not that awesome for the twilight saga

I think that david slade is awesome but not that awesome for the twilight saga sorry but its true... In your face!!!

a comment to a comment i read

someone said that he is a good director because the movie he made was scary and he got the vampir thing done
well see he is a good director put this vampire story isnt suppose to be scary and frightning it is a love story remember

ROB....ASK ME OUT!!! (JACEY) on June 19, 2009 5:45 PM

ROB u do not look like ur on crack!! idk who would say tat! i xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxo

jacey!!!

OMG I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOKS. AND FOR THE TWILIGHT MOVIE, CANT SAY THE SAME, CATHERINE RUINED IT. I HOPE THIS NEW DIRECTOR MAKES A BETTER MOVIE. AND PLEASE WOULD YOU MIND PUTTING MORE DETAILS?!

TEAM EDWARD!

SKREW JACOB!

after reading all 4 books twice and seeing the first movie i really cant wait to see the rest of the movies. i also believe that the song "What Might Have Been" by Little Texas is the perfect way to sum up the relationship between Bella and Jacob at least before Renesme joins the picture.
