News – FresnoBee.com’s 20 tidbits about the film from the cast, director and screenwriter
The Fresno Bee’s Rick Bentley discovered 20 VERY INTERESTING TIDBITS during the Making of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and here are some in random order.
#3 “Eclipse” features the long awaited first kiss between werewolf Jacob and Bella (Kristen Stewart).
Lautner says, “Bella is a fantastic kisser.”
#1 It doesn’t take Robert Pattinson long to get into character. All he has to do to become Edward is slip in the contact lenses that give him vampire eyes.
“They make me miserable as soon as I put them in. That’s what creates the pouting and brooding character,” Pattinson says.
#5 There’s more action in “Eclipse” than the previous two movies combined, but it didn’t mean extra work for Stewart.
“The action was absolutely everyone else’s responsibility. I just stand behind people who are stronger than me the entire time. I didn’t even get to run around as much as I did in the second movie,” Stewart says.
#9 “Twilight” writer Stephenie Meyer was on the set during filming but not to deal with the script. She was there in case the director or actors had a question about a character.
“She has a back story for all the characters,” says “Eclipse” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg.
#12 The actors wanted to be loyal to the books when creating their characters. But Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen, took a little creative freedom with his wardrobe. He decided Carlisle should wear scarves. It’s not just a fashion statement but a way of making his neck appear less vulnerable.
Facinelli ditched the scarves in “Eclipse.”
“Going to battle with the scarf would have been silly unless he was using it as a weapon,” Facinelli says. “Maybe in ‘Breaking Dawn’ we can bring it back.”
#7 If you look closely, you’ll see Bella’s bedroom is different from the previous two movies. It’s four feet wider because Slade needed extra room for the lenses he was using to shoot the movie.
Eclipse News – MOVIEONLINE INTERVIEWS DAVID SLADE, WYCK GODFREY & MELISSA ROSENBERG
MoviesOnline sat down with director David Slade, producer Wyck Godfrey and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg at the Los Angeles press conference for “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” to talk about their new film. They told us about the difficulties of adapting the third novel into a two-hour movie, what it was like working with a ready made cast, and how they maintained continuity between this film and the first two films. Here’s what they had to say:
Q: Why should somebody see “Eclipse”?
David Slade: I guess, like, if you’re not into the World Cup, and there’s nothing worth seeing on TV and you’ve not got any plans, we’ve got, like, I think six or seven decapitations. You know, if there’s nothing much going on that night, it’s a good night out. As long as there’s nothing else on at the movies you want to see. But no, being serious, I think it’s the most mature book, and I think we made, we went for the most mature film. Certainly, there’s a great deal of romance in the film, but there’s also other things. Vengeance is a very big theme in the film. Our action sequences all are built out of character, so they’re not just effects. They’re actually built out of a need to get to a place. And I think it’s a film for everyone, this one.
Q: What did you do to prepare for “Eclipse” and how did you bring your own style to the film?
David Slade: There’s a cinematic vocabulary to each of the films they’ve done. And it doesn’t come from that much premeditation. It comes from two things. One, seeing the film in my head before we go out and make it, and being very clear about what that is and planning it, and then two, what’s right for the scene and the character. I believe the most interesting thing to look at in the world is the human face, so that is why I tend to be a little closer to those human faces than maybe other directors would be.
Wyck Godfrey: When you were first talking to us about the movie, you had said that by letting the background fall out of focus and really focusing on the characters in the dangerous scenes, it creates a heightened sense of anxiety. You feel like you don’t really know what’s back there, and in the romantic scenes it creates an incredible sense of intimacy. You really feel like it’s just these two people in that world, and I think that was really effective in the movie.
David Slade: I was going to go on to elaborate, just one sentence, which is to say that with close-up comes selective focus, and it is to focus the viewer, to point them in a direction. And when I talked about vocabulary, it extends so you get a close-up which has very little amount of focus in it, but also you’ll see medium shots and wider shots that also bring the audience’s attention to a specific place, which is entirely intentional.
Q: You were working with a ready-made cast for “Eclipse.” How did you help establish what would be expected of their characters for this film?
David Slade: What I did is, I saw each one of the actors individually, and we’d have one-on-one meetings. What we’d do is, we would … the first time I was just listening. I’d just listen to everything they told me about their characters, everything they thought about their characters. Then we’d meet again, and we’d talk about the script. But each time, one-on-one. Then a third time, a fourth time. By this time, we’re now talking about all the ideas that I’m to bring forward but incorporating all of that character and story that they’ve taken from me, and then the final stage is we go into an ensemble rehearsal, where all the actors come together, but we don’t have to talk about character anymore — we talk about content and story. And that was I think the most respectful way, and that’s how I chose to go about it.
Q: How difficult was it to adapt the novel into a two-hour movie?
Melissa Rosenberg: I think, to begin with, it took me by surprise, because I actually thought this would be the easiest, because there’s so much conflict in it, and you have this huge battle that you’re building toward. But then once I got into it and actually breaking the story, I realized all that happened in the third act. So then it was looking at what’s going on in the first two acts other than conversation leading up. And what I found was that a lot of the threat that is in the third act, that’s building that conflict, pulling that forward and being able to expand on some of the mythology. In a movie, we can cut away to another perspective, but in the book, it’s all Bella’s perspective. So it actually ended up being probably the most fun to write in the end, after I got over the incredible disappointment that it wasn’t going to be easy — as if anything ever is.
Q: Are there any extras for the DVD?
Wyck Godfrey: Well, the nude scene you shot that wasn’t in the book will probably be on there. I don’t know, I think with any film, you go through the process of kind of editing it down to its fighting weight, and ultimately you’re going to end up with some scenes that didn’t end up in the movie.
David Slade: There were a number of scenes which just felt excessive in terms of beating the same story, so we took them out, but some of them were really nice and are great little standalones.
Wyck Godfrey: There was a great scene with Angela and Kristin that is really just kind of two girls talking about guy troubles, and it’s really, really sweet, but it took place in a section of the movie that we really had to kind of propel.
David Slade: What happens is the film has its own momentum from the script, and you start driving and you start snowballing, you start going and going and going. By the time you hit the third act you’re just blasting along. And that scene just went — (skidding noise) stop. But it’s a beautiful scene, beautifully performed, and it’s going to be a nice, little bonus for fans of the books to know that we went and shot that stuff.

Eclipse News – Interview with David Slade on ‘The Wrap’
‘Eclipse’s’ Slade: They Just Told Me Don’t Make Edward Ugly
Coming off dark movies like “Hard Candy” and “30 Days of Night,” David Slade seemed like an unlikely choice for the highly anticipated “Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”
David Slade’s indie debut, 2005’s“Hard Candy,” a critically lauded thriller starring Patrick Wilson and then unknown Ellen Page, was about a photographer and his subject who engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse. He followed that with his first studio film, “30 Days of Night,” based on the comic book by Steve Niles.
That vampires-run-amok saga fared poorly at the box office, but prepared the director for his latest, “Eclipse.”
So, how did you get hired? Were you on a list?
No. I had met with Summit on a couple of projects that didn’t come to fruition. They seemed to like me, and when it came to “New Moon,” they asked me — but I never even got to say yes before Chris was doing it.So when this came up — they sent me a script for “New Moon” and they sent me the script for this — I read it and I thought this one was superior. One of the things for the director is you got to have a good story. Even if you have the most expensive budget in the world, or even if you’ve got the best actors in the world, the story is what’s going to sell it.
Also, being completely candid, how often do you get the opportunity to do a romance if you’ve done two horror movies? So it was a great way to test myself.
Was it hard joining a huge franchise?
It wasn’t anything that concerned me. The important thing was to make the best movie I could.
In terms of the cycle of the novels, this one is more mature, more grown-up, a lot darker, a lot more scary. So it was going to be a different look, a little bit of difference in the performances.
But at no point was there ever a dichotomy between serving the phenomena and making a film. I felt that if I tried to focus too much on the phenomenon, the fans and the other films, that I would go crazy.
Summit has so much riding on the “Twilight” series. Everything must have been a committee decision.
You can get every single person who needs to make a decision at Summit into the bathroom. So it’s not as many as you think.Summit is a studio like any other studio, and in this day and age, you have to know how to work with studios. But the main thing is, as long as you’re on the same page when you go in, you stay on the same page. You’ll have your ups and downs, but mostly you can make the film that you want to make.
What did they want input on?
Largely big general points like, “Don’t make Edward ugly in this scene. Make sure he’s not in the sun because he should sparkle.”
Eclipse News – An ‘Eclipse’ Proposal
Aww, watch this ‘Eclipse’ proposal! A fan proposed to his girlfriend during the Eclipse midnight premiere:
The Twilight books were a source that kick-started my relationship with my girlfriend. Three and half great years later, I managed to get my manager at the movie theater I work at to allow me to ask her to marry me at the Eclipse midnight premiere. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment and crowd.
Eclipse News – Robert Pattinson Interview on BBC Radio
Another Rob interview on BBC Radio. Actually Rob, Kristen & Taylor were interviewed and we’re still looking for those. But for now – here’s Rob! Thanks to RobsessedPattinson for posting this!!!
Cast News – Robert Pattinson Interview with Fem.com (German Magazine)
Fem.com is a German Magazine that did an interview with Robert Pattinson recently. THANKS TO PATTINSON ONLINE UK FOR THE TRANSLATION!
“Ich bin eine Gefahr für mich selbst” which translates to
“I Am A Danger to Myself!!”
Millions of girls and boys look to you. Do you see yourself as a role model?
“Not really. I mostly want to be nice to my fellow man to treat everyone in the same manner. Many actors are inclined to raise up and look down on other people. In this career, it’s really, really easy to be a complete asshole.”
You have two older sisters. Do they always bring you back to reality?
“Oh yeah. Already from the time that I was 18 they explained to me: if you hadn’t started styling your hair with gel, then you still would have always been one of these plain, boring people. (Laughs)”
Your mother reportedly believes all the crazy stories which, in your case, are rampant. How do you convince her that you don’t go out drinking every night, and haven’t had an affair with Paris Hilton?
“I’m sorry, what? I have never been on a date with Paris Hilton. Unfortunately, I use my mother frequently during interviews when no other fascinating anecdotes come to mind. Naturally she doesn’t believe a word of any of it.”
What do you think about the fact that the media dissect your private life and your relationships with a variety of female co-stars in order to promote the Twilight films?
“To start, let the magazines and tabloids sell themselves. Whether or not the films gain because of that, I don’t know. I, personally, definitely don’t help it. (Laughs)”
Hand on your heart: In what way has the Twilight Saga changed your life?
“If you find yourself in the eye of a storm, you’re not in a position to judge what goes on around you. Maybe I’ll be able to think it over in two or three years. At the moment I feel the whole thing is like a supernova: We shoot a film one after the other and the phenomenon grows and grows. And presently I stand in front of 20,000 screaming fans and haven’t the faintest idea who they’re calling for. I think it will still be a little while longer until I realize that they mean to me.”
Is there still one city where you can run around on the streets unrecognized?
“The only place where that happens now is Tokyo. I debated for a short time about moving there. (Laughs)”
Do you have plans in the future to do something against this abnormal state of affairs?
“I can’t really do anything against it, other than to pull myself completely out of the public eye, in order to lead a normal life. But I don’t know if that little anonymity is worth the cost. I mean, that the whole hype is over just as quickly as it came. Then it doesn’t bother me at all.”
In which situations does it seem different, how extraordinary your life appears?
“The only time that it’s really bizarre, is when I want to visit friends and need a bodyguard in order to do it.”
Do your friends like the spectacle?
“No, most of them don’t like the glamour and the whole shebang at all. It doesn’t influence them in any way. It doesn’t affect me either, by the way.”
At what place to you crave to be back the most, when you look back on your old life?
“I had this fantastic, old London apartment in Soho. You could climb onto the roof and it had a wonderful view of the city. Nearly every day I was up there, playing music, writing songs, and tried to include them.”
What do you have planned for next, once the last part, “Breaking Dawn,” is finished?
“It’s not very easy to choose what I want to do after that. Because ‘Twilight’ is that successful and brings in so much money, you feel as though you’re paralyzed. It exists the fear, one could lose if he takes the wrong step. In the event that the next film is a flop, everyone will say: See, he was only a one-hit-wonder. The impression is, therefore, huge.”

Eclipse News – New US Tv Spot : # 1 Movie in America
Woot!! With great new scenes not in previous TV spots or trailers!!!
Eclipse News – An Eclipse Review
This review was written by a film/theater blogger Revstan. Got to know of her and her blog in my incessant search of anything to do with Ben Whishaw 
And here’s her review of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Definitely had different expectations going into this one compared to New Moon. I really loved New Moon as a book but not so much Eclipse.
I always thought Eclipse would benefit from a film makeover to put a bit more dramatic tension in it. The book seemed bogged down with back story, building up to a big scary battle that was ultimately neither big or scary – only baddies died and none of the goodies ever really looked threatened, well OK, so Jacob gets a little bit roughed up.
Anyway back to the film. Before I went to the cinema I had a reply to a tweet saying that the film closely followed the book, which made my heart sink a little. And it did closely follow the book.
There is a lot of back story which made the pace a bit soggy at times but, I enjoyed the film more than the book for several reasons.
Firstly the book is tome-length (Stephanie Meyers was suffering from the JK Rowling successful writer-indulgent editor syndrome) so condensing it down to two hours means a lot of guff is inevitably cut.
Secondly, the lame battle works better visually than on the page. Yes all my criticisms of the book still stand, but there is something more engaging about seeing the vampires move at bullet-speed and doing flips and tumbles and tearing off heads that is lost in print.
Thirdly the sound track is superb, like they have all been. The songs sound and feel written for the film – I’m sure some of them were – perfectly matching and adding to the mood. Although I would add that the signature Howard Shore score seems a little out of place at times.
And finally, and this was probably the winner (aside from ogling fit young men’s honed-bods, natch), was the script.
Yes there is a lot of gooey stuff still in there in keeping with the essence of the books. But I love some of the nice little ironic quips and humour that have been injected back into it. For example, Edward says to Bella about Jacob: “Doesn’t he own a shirt?” And Jacob when acting as a hot-water bottle for Bella says to Edward: “Face it, I’m hotter than you.”
Billy Burke as Charlie has always been a highlight and he really comes into his own in this film. He’s given a bit more to work with and the exasperated-parent asides, dare I say it, allow him to steal a scene or two. The awkwardness of the father-daughter birds and bees talk is brilliantly executed.
So I want to see it again, as I did New Moon but I liked it more than New Moon and that was probably because I had less invested in it from the start.
I have some more thoughts about Edward but I’ll write separately about those otherwise this post is going to become tome-like in itself.
Eclipse News – Quileute tribe & Native American actors gets the spotlight thru Eclipse (Twilight) Films
Real tribe gets its due in ‘Twilight’ films
by George Lang (The Oklahoman)
Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater in “Eclipse,” said: “That’s also what excites me, is that we’re being put in front of primarily children and people who are in the process of defining their ideas of what Native Americans are. I think that’s probably the most valuable aspect of the way that Native Americans are portrayed in this film.”
Actor Chaske Spencer sees the “Twilight Saga” as a turning point for American Indians working in Hollywood.
Spencer and co-stars Alex Meraz and Julia Jones play Quileute tribal werewolves who can phase between human and wolf form at will. Despite the supernatural context, the actors see the Quileute portrayal as a well-deserved modernization of American Indian imagery.
“What I like about it is it has brought us to pop culture in a way that’s never been done before in film,” said the Tahlequah, Okla.-born Spencer, who plays Sam Uley in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and has Nez Perce, Sioux and Creek ancestry.
“We’ve been around for a while. I’ve been working for, like, 10 years, and these two have also been around and working, and what I like about it is it’s finally brought us to a place where we’re not always playing with the leather and feather. That’s how we paid our dues,” Spencer said.
“And I like also, and it’s kind of up to the media as well to accept us as other than being just the mystical figures and put on the leather and feather, and speaking like in a ‘rez’ accent all the time – because I’ve done that so many times. And the kids, the kids are more accepting of us than anything else. That’s what’s really cool.”
(From L-R) Tinsley Korey, Chaske Spencer, Tyson Houseman, Kiowa Gordon, Bronson Pelletier and Alex Meraz
“And speaking more on that – it’s in a contemporary setting,” said Alex Meraz, who plays Paul. “Like Chaske was saying, leather-and-feather period piece, we don’t have bows and arrows. We don’t even have clothes, though.”
With all that phasing between human and giant wolf, the average Quileute in “Twilight” prefers to go shirtless rather than break the bank buying clothes. But on a serious note, Meraz said the portrayal of the Quileute tribe has brought attention to the real, non-shape-shifting tribe in La Push, Wash.
“The fascinating thing about portraying a tribe that actually does exist is that the stuff (‘Twilight’ series author) Stephenie (Meyer) had taken from the tribe, she kind of mixed it in the realm of fantasy,” said Meraz, whose family originates with the P’urhepecha tribe of northern Mexico.
“But now a lot of people are going to Washington state, they’re going to La Push where the Quileute tribe actually do reside in, and they’re learning more. They’re forced to ask questions, learn more about the culture. And I think that that’s great that they’re getting a spotlight to introduce and to tell the story, the real creation story. That’s important. I think that fans are so into it that they want to learn where this germinated from, the root of where the wolf pack comes from.”
Cast News – Robert Pattinson in Atrevida magazine
Robert Pattinson gave pretty interesting and funny answers in this interview with Brazilian Magazine Atrevida. Thanks to Robpattznews for the magazine scans and translations!
A: Eclipse opens very soon. Do you think the fans will be surprised?
R: Twilight had a story more focused on Edward and Bella and New Moon was more about Jacob. So, Eclipse is interesting cause everyone has their place and the audience can see Edward, Bella and Jacob interacting with each other.
A: And to you, what was the biggest challenge in playing Edward this time around?R: Edward lives different emotions in Eclipse. In the first two movies, he’s a lot more distant to everyone, but now he needs to be a part of the world and not be indifferent if he wants to keep his relationships.
A: Do you have a favorite scene?
R: I like the scene where Bella thinks she’s cheating on me with Jacob and Edward has to deal with it and forgive her. It’s one of the most interesting scenes.
A: How would you describe the experience of working with David Slade?
R: It was exciting, cause David came up and said: “I wanna make something really different.” And I think he succeeded. There will be a huge contrast between Eclipse and the other ones.
A: And how are the roles you play in those movies?
R: In Bel Ami, I play a parisian for whom it’s impossible to have any empathy. He treats badly anyone who does him any favors, but he ends up with a lot of money, which I think is quite realistic [laughs].
A: And what about Water For Elephants?
R: The movie’s set around the time of the Great Depression and I play a guy who drops out of College and join the circus.
A: So, you actually work with elephants?
R: Yes. It’s a great story, an amazing cast, a very good director and a spetacular movie, without any special effects, but one of the things that caught my attention were the elephants. I met them, and I’m going to work with them, it’s wonderful. Do you know elephants purr? I found that out.
A: With each one of your characters have you learned the most?
R: Besides Edward, I’d say it was Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes. I really changed my way to observe acting. But I think every character that I play has been defining my personality for that particular moment.

CAST NEWS – Robert Pattinson Interviewed by The Inquirer.net (online paper from The Philippines)
A great interview by Ruben V. Nepales of Inquirer.net with Robert Pattinson. Rob always has interesting and funny responses!! 
What are you looking forward to about “Breaking Dawn” being shot back-to-back as two films and of Bill Condon directing them?
I’m glad that it’s Bill Condon. I love his stuff. I haven’t seen the script yet but I am fearful about the series’ end. It’s such a great security blanket. It’s like a net. You can afford to make mistakes when you have another “Twilight” film to make. After that, I guess you’re on your own.
I’m glad the “Breaking Dawn” films will be done together. Because otherwise, it’s quite hard to fit another film in-between each one. Like what happened in “Eclipse”—having to get your mind back to where it was before. I had about a week of preparation time. It was quite stressful in the beginning. With the two films done together, you can just stay in character the whole time.
In the tent scene which is already the much talked-about thing in “Eclipse,” your vampire character is of course cold, body temperature wise, while Taylor’s Jacob drives home the point that he’s literally hotter.
It’s sort of an odd scene. It’s quite difficult. It’s incredibly depressing for Edward (laughing). It does make him seem incredibly unattractive. But I never really got it in the first place. It’s like having some freezing cold person next to you (laughing). It’s horrible.
In “Breaking Dawn,” you become a father and Bella becomes a vampire bride. Do you have tips for Kristen on playing a vampire? Do you feel that you’re mature enough to play a dad?
It’s funny because I’m playing a dad in some scenes in “Breaking Dawn” and I’m portraying one in a movie I’m doing now as well. I’m terrified about doing it. I don’t know what I’m going to do when it comes to those scenes. I’ve been complaining so much about having the makeup on and contact lenses. Kristen is like, “You’re so pathetic. You have to just get over it. Why can’t you just get used to it?” [Now, since Kristen has to wear contact lens, too], I can finally be like, “You will know what it’s like. You’re going to be in constant aggravation the whole time.” Which is great.
We don’t see a lot of guys like Edward who protects a girl’s virtue. Do you relate to him at all? How old-fashioned are you?
I think I’ve become more old-fashioned. I feel like I’m already turning middle-aged now (laughing). It’s quite nice to be doing a series of films that a lot of people think uphold positive virtues. Some people actually think the films are a good influence on their kids.
