Everything That’s Happened in the Twilight Movies So Far [Catch Ups]

Eclipse Director David Slade: ‘I Have No Idea Why Anyone Would Hire Me!’

When David Slade was announced as the director of the third Twilight film, Eclipse , it seemed like a risky proposition: he had only made two other movies ( Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night ), and both indicated a sensibility that might be too aggressive for the romantic Stephenie Meyer series. Perhaps that’s exactly what the franchise needed, though, as Slade’s turned in a well-received installment that’s a good deal more propulsive than Chris Weitz’s sluggish New Moon . The day after Eclipse’s Los Angeles premiere, Slade was still riding high from the audience’s reaction as he talked to Movieline about the tough shoot, his thoughts on the controversial Breaking Dawn , and the follow-up he definitely isn’t making next.

‘Eclipse’ Moviegoers Get Pumped Up Outside NYC Midnight Screening

‘I’m going to see it again and again and again,’ one eager Twilighter tells MTV News. By Josh Wigler “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” Photo: Summit Only eight months have passed since “New Moon” hit theaters, but fans of “The Twilight Saga” have still waited anxiously for “Eclipse” to finally arrive. Thankfully, the waiting ends at midnight. “Eclipse” is officially here, bringing Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner back to the big screen once again. MTV News a New York movie theater to gauge fan excitement over the release of “Eclipse,” and unsurprisingly, the masses proved quite anxious for the movie’s first frames. “I’m really excited,” Hortencia Caires said. “I’ve read all of the series, all of the books, and I’ve watched all of the movies. I’m pretty darn stoked! I’m excited for Bella to finally make her choice. People portray Jacob as the guy she wants, but technically, I think she’s always wanted Edward. This is the right choice for her.” Indeed, the merit of Team Edward vs. Team Jacob was a hot-button issue among the many Twilighters we spoke with. “I’m Team Edward, duh!” Oladayo Idowu exclaimed proudly. “First, I was Jacob, and then I was Edward, because he’s best for [Bella].” “I’m on Team Jacob because he’s cute,” Cecilia Le said. “I don’t know. There are a lot of reasons!” Even fellow fans and friends Ellie Miltner and Amanda Lawrence couldn’t agree between Edward and Jacob. “I personally just like the vampire thing,” Amanda said, while Ellie declared: “I’m a werewolf kind of girl!” The two friends could agree on one thing: their most anticipated scene. “I’m most looking forward to the scene in the tent where Edward and Jacob are there together,” Ellie said, a notion Amanda agreed with. “They said it was really fun to film, so we’re excited about that, and he’s naked, so that’s the best part!” Other fans were excited to watch the highly touted action scenes, courtesy of acclaimed horror director David Slade. “I’m most excited for the scene where the vampires come out of the water and the big battle begins,” Stacey Harris said. Amanda Scully agreed with Stacey: “The scene where they fight at the end. It’s action-packed, and I like the action!” Even if fans had trouble agreeing on their favorite characters and scenes, they all shared the same infectious enthusiasm for the “Twilight” franchise. One fan even drove all the way to New York from Pennsylvania just to make sure her first viewing of “Eclipse” was extra special. “I live in Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh, and I wanted to come to an IMAX theater,” Erika Abad said. “I’ve never been to one.” “I’m really excited,” Oladayo said. “I’m here for [the midnight showing], so I’m surprised my mom even let me out! I’ve been waiting for this movie since I saw ‘Twilight.’ I’m going to see it again and again and again.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

The 9 Best Lines From Harry Knowles’s Highly Sexualized Review of Eclipse

Confession time: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ? It’s…kinda fun. No, really.

The Ain’t It Cool News webmaster published his review of the film today , and it’s a borderline giddy, possibly intoxicated missive that really get to the heart (and genitals) of the matter. Here are the 9 best passages:

Taylor Lautner Talks ‘Breaking Dawn’ Split, 3-D Possibility

‘I definitely think it was the right thing to do, for the movie and for the book,’ Lautner tells MTV News of making two ‘Breaking Dawn’ films. By Josh Wigler, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Taylor Lautner Photo: Charley Gallay/ Getty Images Once “Eclipse” hits theaters at midnight, there will only be one book left in “The Twilight Saga” to mine for the big screen. But thanks to Summit Entertainment’s decision to split “Breaking Dawn” into two films, fans can look forward to two more installments of their beloved franchise. It’s a decision that was universally embraced not just by fans of the series, but by several of the films’ stars as well — like Taylor Lautner , for instance. “I definitely think it was the right thing to do, for the movie and for the book,” Lautner told MTV News of the “Breaking Dawn” split. “It’s hard enough to condense 500 pages into a script, but to condense 800 and everything that’s going on in ‘Breaking Dawn,’ it would have been impossible.” Lautner will spend his summer shooting the lead role in the action/thriller “Abduction,” but he returns to the role of hunky werewolf Jacob Black when the cameras roll on “Breaking Dawn” in the fall. Already a veteran of the “Twilight” franchise, Lautner confessed that there are elements of “Breaking Dawn” that have him a bit on edge. “It’s the part I’m most looking forward to and the part I’m most nervous about: Renesmee, the baby,” he said, referring to the vampire baby spawned by Edward and Bella. Upon Renesmee’s birth, Jacob finds himself inexplicably drawn to the baby, effectively ending his feud with Edward over Bella’s heart. “That should be very interesting to film. But I’m looking forward to it! I’ve got the direction of Bill Condon , so I’ll be fine.” Speaking of Condon, Lautner said he’s already met the recently appointed “Breaking Dawn” director. “I met him briefly, very quickly, but not about ‘Breaking Dawn.’ He seems like a very nice guy,” the actor said. “Obviously, he’s ridiculously talented, so I’m excited that I’m getting to work with him twice.” As the shoot date on “Breaking Dawn” draws ever nearer, there are fewer and fewer questions about the film left to answer. One question that lingers, however, is whether it will be released in 3-D. “Usually, 3-D is best when it takes you into another world,” he explained. “I could see it going both ways. As long as we have the story line down and as long as we bring what was written on the pages in the book to life, then we’ll be fine no matter what we do.” Would you like to see “Breaking Dawn” in 3-D?

Eclipse Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg on Fans: ‘They’re Coming After Me a Little Bit Already!’

In many ways, Melissa Rosenberg has the Twilight franchise’s most difficult job: as screenwriter, she has to satisfy not just the original novelist Stephenie Meyer, but the actors (including Kristen Stewart, who famously won’t say a line if she doesn’t believe it), directors, and fans, too. The imminent Eclipse is her third crack at the series, and up next is the very controversial Breaking Dawn , which Rosenberg is busily splitting into two movies. In a candid interview with Movieline, Rosenberg discussed fan frustrations, her thoughts on Summit’s director selections, and just how she pictures that Breaking Dawn split.

Ashley Greene, Kristen Stewart Style Risks Pay Off At ‘Eclipse’ Premiere

Robert Pattinson deviates from traditional black suit with a maroon Gucci getup. By Jean Bentley Ashley Greene attends the “Eclipse” premiere Thursday in L.A. Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ Getty Images As far as men’s style goes, it’s hard to vary too much from the classic dark suit. But at Thursday night’s (June 24) premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” Robert Pattinson tried his best. The dreamboat vampire walked the black carpet in a maroon Gucci suit, while his werewolf rival Taylor Lautner played it safe in a classic black suit/ skinny tie combo. Among the ladies, muted colors and embellishments reigned supreme. Human star Kristen Stewart chose a white, one-sleeve Elie Saab minidress with a fierce cutout back. Her bestie, Dakota Fanning, also wore Elie Saab, though the Volturi guard went much more feminine in a short, flirty, nude-colored look with lace and feather accents. Fellow evil vampire Bryce Dallas Howard also went lacy in her long, mustard Dior frock, which was a rare spot of color amid a sea of neutrals. Also in the neutral camp was Ashley Greene, looking gorgeous in a light-blue column dress by Alexis Mabille Couture. Several castmembers wore Marchesa: Nikki Reed’s feathered number looked a tad Ice Capades chic (though she brought the ultimate accessory — her adorable little brother), while new wolf pack member Julia Jones shined in a silver, beaded strapless dress. A couple of Cullen men looked dapper with their “90210” star significant others. Kellan Lutz echoed Taylor with a simple black suit and skinny tie, while girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord opted for a form-fitting champagne Nicole Miller and neutral makeup. Fellow Cullen Clan member Peter Facinelli also donned a black pinstripe suit, which complemented wife Jennie Garth’s metallic Marchesa and bright lipstick. Metallics also seemed to be a hit, with Catalina Sandino Moreno in a belted, big-shouldered gunmetal-gray dress and Anna Kendrick in a ruffled olive frock. The boys weren’t immune to the metallic trend either, with wolf pack member Alex Meraz donning a light-blue pinstripe suit. Who rocked your favorite fashion of the night? Let us know in the comments!
