  • Eclipse Director David Slade Disses Twilight, Wouldn't Even See it at Gunpoint

    EclipseAlthough officially on board to direct Eclipse, the third installment in the Twilight saga, David Slade doesn't mince words about his distaste for the original. First leaked out on his now-deleted Twitter account, word of his contempt for Twilight has begun to stir up some hostility among fans of the franchise. And now /Film has captured some choice comments he made, apparently a while back, to a radio show in Washington. Responding to a suggestion that he go out to see Twilight, he says:

    Twilight drunk? No, not even drunk. Twilight on acid? No, not even on acid. Twilight at gunpoint? Just shoot me.

    What about directing a sequel? Well okay, yes apparently. Hmm. Looks like Slade has some serious work cut out for himself repairing relations with the Twilight fan base.

      Personally...if he made this comment, I would plot a petition to have him removed as the director of Eclipse. He's obviously expressed an imature strong negative opinion against this saga and it's films. He only posted an apology because he wants in on the possible profit off the Eclipse film. He is not worthy of directing any film related to any HUGE blockbuster or sagas of any sort. He's NOT Twilight saga material and won't direct the film to the satisfaction of the true Twi-hard fans. He will be a threat to the sales and image of this film and the company in charge of it's creation. I'm outraged at his inept attitude.
