  • Kellan Lutz Talks The Twilight Saga

    Kellan LutzKellan Lutz, the man behind "monkey man" Emmett Cullen, spoke to MTV about The Twilight Saga and how each director has brought something new to the franchise.

    On the subject of differences within the saga, Lutz had this to say about directors Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz, and David Slade:

    Catherine Hardwicke was very energetic, and she made this beautiful movie. Chris Weitz had this really cool, really laid-back vibe, but has a great sense of how to do CGI and how to make these wolves look real and bigger than life versus just some computerized image. Then David Slade, with his action background and his indie style, just mixed the two. The movies are going to be unique in their own aspects, and that's what's really interesting — it's not the same director doing each one. We, as actors, got to see different styles of directing. So it doesn't feel old, ever.

    When asked about his favorite New Moon scene, he replied with an answer sure to please the many fans of Charlie Swan and Billy Burke.

    My favorite scene is probably anything that Charlie is in, played by Billy Burke. He just has this great comedic timing, and every scene with him, I get a laugh out of. And there's just tons of action. That's the thing too, seeing the wolves actually fight each other and roughhouse. It's really interesting to see what Chris did.

    So, Twilighters, what's your take on the saga's directors? Who's your favorite? Do you think they'll do a good job bringing the characters to life? Let us know in the comments.

  • New Set Pictures from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

    Eclipse newbornsNew pictures from the set of Eclipse have surfaced, including Carlisle and the wolves and Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene, and Peter Facinelli on set. Of all the cast, Facinelli could easily pass for a real-life vampire, just look at his pale complexion and platinum blond hair — does he remind you of anyone from vampire TV shows past?

    In addition to these new images, the Examiner also has a report round-up from last week's filming. Fan-favorite highlights from the fifth week of Eclipse include director David Slade's tweet about a Bella-Jacob kiss on a mountain, and images of some creepy newborn vampires submerged in water.

    Do you think David Slade looks like he's doing a good job bringing the epic, romance-fueled movie to the big screen? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

  • Ashley Greene Talks The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

    Ashley GreeneIn a recent interview with MTV, Twilight Saga Alice actress Ashley Greene talked about all things Eclipse.

    On director David Slade, she said:

    He's been really good. I've sat down and spoken to him and broken down the script a little bit. I definitely like his take on it. I think it's going to be good. I think it'll be different. He's ... a little more focused on it being real and maybe it being gorier and a little dark and kind of dramatic.

    She also spoke about how she thinks Eclipse will appeal to a wider audience than just teenage girls, thanks to author Stephenie Meyer's inclusion of an epic vampire-werewolf battle towards the end of the book. No, it won't be like Underworld — it's much more angsty and suspenseful. Honestly.

  • David Slade Talks The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

    EclipseFEARnet recently managed to track down Eclipse director David Slade and asked him about all things Twilight. When asked what he would be bringing to the franchise, he said:

    I don't really know. We haven't even started shooting yet. It is darker, and there is a lot more action than the previous two. We are going to focus on the origin stories of several characters, like Jasper, and show how Bella will decide between Edward and Jacob.

    Origin stories always go down well with the fans and, after Slade's negative comments about the saga were publicly aired on his Twitter account, it looks like he may have redeemed himself with the fanbase. What do you think, Twilighters — should Eclipse be a darker movie? And which origin story would you like to see most: Jasper's or Rosalie's?

  • Casting for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Begins

    EclipseAccording to E! Online, casting has begun for third Twilight Saga movie, Eclipse.

    Never one to waste any time, Summit has started searching for actors to play Riley ("handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy"), Seth Clearwater ("tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin"), and Leah Clearwater ("she is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair"). The Clearwaters are both of Quileute descent, and big friends of Jacob and Co. Riley is a vampire under Victoria's watch, and has a run-in or two with the Cullens.

    David Slade (30 Days of Night) is on board to direct Eclipse, which is due to shoot later in the year. Release day is June 30, 2010 -- a day sure to be marked on every Twilight fan's calendar.

  • Kellan Lutz Talks Rob, Italy, and David Slade

    Kellan LutzAccess Hollywood recently spoke to Twilight's Kellan Lutz about filming in Italy, staying in Robert Pattinson's room, and the controversy surrounding Eclipse director David Slade's comments.

    Lutz, most famous for his role as large-but-loveable vampire Emmett Cullen, pleaded ignorance to any knowledge of Slade's negative comments, but did say that he still thinks he'll bring a "great vision" to the movie.

    When asked about filming the Volterra scenes in Italy, Lutz said, "I'm going there and I'm going to crash in Rob's room and make fun of him, 'cause I'm going to do a lot of sightseeing while he's shooting." At the mention of Pattinson's hotel room, thousands of Twilighters undoubtedly made plans to find, and camp outside, the room in question. We just hope Italy has good security ... and a large barricade or two.

  • Eclipse Director David Slade Apologizes to Twilight Fans

    EclipseWell it had to come. After an old radio interview in which Eclipse director David Slade suggested that Twilight was so bad he wouldn't even see it at gunpoint gained wide circulation earlier this week, some sort of explanation was inevitable. So late last night, the director sent an email directly to the fan site Twilight Lexicon, apologizing for his statement and doing his best to shore up relations with Twilight fans. In short, he is suggesting that he was just putting on an attitude about something he knew nothing about to get a few laughs. Here's what he said in full:

    I would like to address some statements that I made regarding Twilight.

    When I made these comments, I had neither seen the film nor read the books. I was promoting a comedy short film that I had made for Xbox and every pop culture subject was seen as a possible comedy target. I was being silly and none of the statements were from the heart.

    Of course, I have since seen the movie and read the books and was quickly consumed with the rich storytelling and the beautifully honest characters that Stephenie Meyer created.

    I would like to reassure everyone involved that I am invested in making the best film that I am humanly capable of, and that I am acutely aware of the power of the original books we serve.

    Please be rest assured this statement is absolutely from the heart.

    How much his conversion was affected by the face that he was tapped to direct a Twilight sequel is anybody's guess. But the fact that he did recant his remarks and his expressed desire to make Eclipse the best movie possible seems to be winning him back a degree of support from Twilight fans.

  • 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.

  • David Slade Confirmed to Direct Eclipse

    EclipseEclipse, the third movie in The Twilight Saga, finally has a confirmed director. Summit announced David Slade's involvement yesterday, not long after unconfirmed rumors surfaced online. Hmm, coincidence? Or did an insider leak the top secret info early?

    In the official press release, author Stephenie Meyer said:

    I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing ECLIPSE. He's a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise. From the beginning, we've been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga, and I'm so happy that ECLIPSE will be carrying on with that tradition.

    Slade should be over the moon with his new job, as it's sure to give his career the biggest boost it'll ever get. Not that 30 Days of Night didn't do well, but its worldwide gross of $75 million doesn't even come close to the hundreds of millions Eclipse is sure to rake in at the box office. What do you think, Twilighters? Will he do the fanbase proud?

  • David Slade to Direct Eclipse?

    EclipseEW is reporting that the third Twilight Saga movie, Eclipse, could have found itself a new director. David Slade is rumored to be in the running for the job, and is the latest in an ever-growing line of directors to be linked to the movie. Drew Barrymore previously denied any involvement, and whether Juan Antonia Bayona is still on board is anyone's guess.

    Slade was last seen at the helm of 2007's vampire flick 30 Days of Night and is also responsible for Hard Candy, which starred a pre-Juno Ellen Page. We're not sure what the fans will think of him, but at least he's got some experience with the undead -- oh, and murderous little teenage girls. Lets hope he remembers how to direct something that isn't rated R, or he'll have Stephenie Meyer to answer to.
