Yesterday we had a vigorous debate about the analysis done on the 10 second Eclipse trailer. Today, of course we have the full glorious thing of beauty called the Eclipse trailer. Here are excerpts of comments from several major news outlets. What say you?

What do you think of Victoria/Bryce, by the way?  I think she looked better here than in the “leaked” pictures none of us looked at.  And – I noticed it too – NO WOLVES were shown!  What does that portend?  Hmmmm?

From MTVBlog

Today is an important day for “Twilight” fans. The release of the debut trailer for “Eclipse” marks the start of the official run-up to the movie’s June 30, 2010 release. You’ve all known it was coming of course. But the below video is your first motion picture proof that it actually exists. In three short months, you’ll get to see exactly what “30 Days of Night” director David Slade did differently than his predecessors in this third chapter of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance saga.

I won’t pretend to be a Twilighter, but I do have a few observations to share on the new trailer. I find it interesting, though not terribly surprising, that this first look is focused mostly on the developing love triangle between Edward, Jacob and Bella. That is of course what longtime fans of the series are most interested in seeing.

That said, much has been made of Slade being in the director’s chair, how his influence coupled with the content of the source material might make this the most broadly appealing “Twilight” movie yet. I haven’t read the book myself, but as I understand it there’s quite a bit of action in the third installment. My guess is that subsequent trailers and TV spots will focus more in that direction, on selling the movie to a wider male audience.

Chris Weitz, director of New Moon, chatted with People Magazine about Eclipse! Here’s what he had to say about the tent scene, the script, and more!

Chris Weitz, who directed New Moon, the second installment in the Twilight series, says he has read the script for this summer’s third installment, Eclipse – and that one scene in particular is a scorcher.

“I’m looking forward to the sleeping bag scene, I gotta say,” Weitz tells PEOPLE. “That’s going to be very steamy.”

sladetwitter1 20 David Slade Tweets about Trailer!

David Slade did quite a bit of Eclipse tweeting today. As you can see, still no info on when a trailer will be out, but they seem to be working very diligently on Eclipse! Also, his comments seem to confirm that the New Year’s surprise was indeed to be the trailer. If that is so, it must be close to ready by now. I sure hope so, ’cause the fans are getting restless!

By the way, anonymous sources are hinting that the trailer will debut during the previews for Remember Me, which opens on March 12. That is such a long time yet!

sladetweet David Slade Cancels New Years Gift

Unfortunately there will be no New Years gift from David Slade, as originally promised in Mr. Slade’s earlier tweet.  He tried….  Speculation was that it would be a trailer for the Twilight Saga: Eclipse.  Maybe things just aren’t ready yet.  Quality is the top priority, David, so no worries.

Who Should Direct Breaking Dawn?

breakingdawn1 Who Should Direct Breaking Dawn?

As we slog through the fallow period between “Twilight” franchise films — months before the June arrival of “Eclipse” and with no official announcement about production on “Breaking Dawn ” — we can’t help but start to do a bit of wondering. Can director David Slade’s “Eclipse” out-gross $288-million-and-counting “New Moon“? Will “Dawn” eventually become two films, or just one? And who will direct it?

On that last question, the “Twilight” cast has not been shy with their thoughts about who would be the best fit. Kristen Stewart and Kellan Lutz have thrown their support behind “New Moon” helmer Chris Weitz. Jamie Campbell Bower, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed have all eyed Tim Burton as the guy who can best bring the film — or films — to the big screen. Meanwhile, Summit Entertainment is rumored to want Weitz to return to the franchise.

With all these various opinions floating around, MTV News put the directorial question to “New Moon” werewolf Chaske Spencer when we caught up with the actor on the red-carpet premiere of “Youth in Revolt.” His answer might scare you.

“I like both directors, David and Chris,” he told us. “It’s kind of a joke, but it’d be kind of cool to see what Rob Zombie does, if they ever choose to do him. That’d be cool. That’d be an interesting movie.”

The metalhead turned filmmaker has directed a string of horror flicks, including “The Devil’s Rejects” and two “Halloween” films. And there are undeniable horror-esque moments in “Dawn,” from a fetus that begins to injure Bella Swan as it rapidly grows in her womb to her bloodily violent birth. Somehow, though, we imagine Zombie would be less adept when it comes to capturing the continuing love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob.

So we’ll have to stay tuned on that one. In the meantime, does Spencer have a feeling if “Dawn” will become two films or one? Any insider knowledge to throw our way?

“I have no idea,” he said. “I’ll probably find out more from my agent later on in the week. I have no clue.”

eclipseposter David Slade Tweets About Eclipse Trailer

David Slade, the director of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse recently tweeted about the status of the first Eclipse trailer. Recently, there has been  a lot of talk about some AMC movie theaters showing an Eclipse trailer after the end credits of New Moon. Some even speculate that the trailer will accompany Remember Me when it hits theaters in March. However, Summit has yet to confirm anything. Here’s what David had to say:

“Overwhelming question I see again and again- When is the first trailer for Eclipse? I really don’t know I’m afraid”

and

“I know they are working very hard on it. But I don’t have any idea when it will be out.”

Follow David on Twitter

UPDATE: According to Lauren, who runs the official Twilight Facebook page, Summit has announced that the Eclipse trailer will NOT be debuted this week in any way, shape, or form.

Will the Eclipse Wolves Look More Realistic Under David Slade?
Dec 22

Categories: David Slade, eclipse movie

Will the wolves in Eclipse be more realistic under the direction of David Slade?  This is the question raised today be the folks at ClevverTV in reference to  Slade’s tweet from Dec. 11.  Quoting the video from ClevverTV:
.

Slade’s tweet said: “Wolf reviews today, looking better and better. The Eclipse story and the way we approached the film calls for a much more realistic approach.”

So we’re guessing that Slade is referring to toning down the computer graphics that a lot of people thought were overdone with the wolves in New Moon. The fight scenes are stepped up in Eclipse, so a more realistic point of view, as far as the wolves are concerned, completely makes sense.

Lots of stuff on the CG wolf pack of late. What are your thoughts on how they looked. Were they as good as you hope? As good as they could/should be?

Justin Chon Comments on Slade’s Approach to Eclipse

JustinChon Justin Chon Comments on Slades Approach to Eclipse

Marc Malkin of E! interviewed Justin Chon recently and has provided us with these tantalizing little snippets about the direction of Eclipse and Rob’s life in Vancouver:

“He’s (Slade’s) done pretty dark films so that’s where I see [Eclipse] really gravitating towards—more of a dark kind of moody film,” Chon said yesterday at BAFTA’s pre-Emmy tea party. “Just shooting the scenes that I’m in, the mood is definitely different.”

“David is very set on how he wants this movie to be portrayed,” Chon said. “It’s a lot more refined and maybe not as loose as the last two—at least for us humans. I can only imagine what he’s doing with everyone else.”

Chon also confirmed reports that Robert Pattinson has been living in a house rather than the usual hotel during filming in Vancouver, Canada.

“Security has been increased a lot,” Chon said. “They’re a lot more protective…If Rob was to go out in public without anybody, I think it could be pretty dangerous.”

Even so, Pattz is dealing with the attention well. “It takes him a lot more time to get in and out of places,” Chon said. “But he doesn’t get angry. He’s handling things great.”
