Tomorrow at 9 am PST!!!

Click HERE to Watch the Eclipse TV spot “Missing” exclusively on Fandango at 9AM PST Thursday!

The spot introduces Riley Biers and the newborn vampire army.

GQ interviewed Riley, Xavier Samuel, on the phone about his role in Eclipse. Here is a portion of the interview:

Were you a fan of the Twilight series? Tell the truth.
I watched the first film on the plane, on the way over to Vancouver. Then I went straight to the bookstore.

Funny. You play Riley, a hungry newborn vampire out on a rampage. Full disclosure: I read the book, and Riley’s only on one page.
Yes, I was flipping through the book, thinking: Where’s Riley? He’s whittled down to one line. But in the film, we venture into the world of Riley and watch him assembling this newborn army. It’s more action-packed. And it gives me something more to do, thankfully.

Do you get to inflict much damage on the world?
There was no neck biting. I threw a vampire off of a burning car. I also threw a massive log with one hand. The log was attached to a hydraulic system. It made me look really strong.

Check out the cool T-shirt. I swear the more I know about Kellan Lutz the more I like him as a person. Great little video about Kellan and his charity goals, Xavier Samuel’s prep for kissing Victoria in Eclipse, and more.

Elle Magazine had an interview with Xavier Samuel and got a few fun tidbits (kissing Bryce Howard)  and some background info on the man who would be Riley. Wonder if we’ll see much of him today in the Eclipse Trailer?

WHO: Xavier Samuel

AGE: 26

HOMETOWN: Adelaide, Australia

BONA FIDES: A 2005 graduate of Flinders University Drama Centre program in Adelaide (taking on Hamlet at his graduate performance); a major role in Australian films every year since.

WHY NOW: He’s been newly minted as the “hot” vampire in the wildly popular Twilight franchise, making his debut in its third installment, Eclipse, due out this summer. Rumored to have beaten out Channing Tatum and Harry Potter actor Tom Felton, Samuel landed the role of Riley, right-hand vampire to Bryce Dallas Howard ’s villainess, Victoria. “He’s essentially a tragic character,” Samuel says. “[Director] David Slade and I talked a lot about conveying how complex he is—he’s harboring extreme jealousy and hatred for humanity because that’s exactly what he’s been deprived of.”

WHY HE’LL LAST: Samuel’s compulsively watchable performances in Australian movies such as 2008’s Newcastle (he played a nottotally- out-of-the-closet Goth teenager struggling to find his place in a clique of hard-core surf junkies) are in part a product of working on small-budget sets filming at breakneck paces. “Most of the Australian films I’ve worked on shot for five weeks max, and a second take was a luxury. It taught me to be prepared and focused from the beginning.”

BUT IS HE READY FOR TWILIGHT-LEVEL FAME? “I haven’t quite got my hands on any brochure that says, ‘In the event that you become insanely famous, what do you do?’ But I think I can take a leaf from Rob and Kristen’s book. They’ve done a good job keeping their wits in the whirlwind of it all but also letting it get them where they want to be future-role-wise.”

PROOF HE REALLY DOES DO HIS HOMEWORK: Photos leaked on the Internet of Samuel and Howard filming their highly anticipated kissing scene, one they aptly prepped for. “Bryce and I watched YouTube clips of the best kisses in cinematic history for research,” he says. Yes, but how did he get on with the practicing? “What happens in the rehearsal room stays in the rehearsal room.”

David Slade gave us a little gift in celebration of the wrap of Eclipse:

Here’s what David Slade tweeted along with the pic, “In celebration of wrap first Eclipse cast photo Xavier Samuels between set ups as Riley Biers.”

RAWR for Riley! Xaxier is such a hottie. Also we learn Riley’s last name, at least in the movie that is.

Thanks to @jkennedy80 for sending us her fan pics from Vancouver. She met Ashley Greene at the 100 Monkeys Neptoon Records show and the pics with Xavier Samuel & Jackson are from the 100 Monkeys Back Stage Lounge show.

Moviehole has a new interview with Xavier Samuel in which he talks about ‘Twilight’ and his character.

Young Aussie actor Xavier Samuel is getting a lot of attention these days, first in the award-winning Aussie horror film “The Loved Ones”, and coming up in the third of the “Twilight” films, “Eclipse”.

In “Eclipse”, directed by David Slade (”30 Days of Night”), the 25-year-old actor plays Riley, a good-looking college student who joins the plot of villain Victoria (Bryce Dallas-Howard) to murder protagonist Bella (Kristen Stewart).

Moviehole had the chance to quickly discuss the film with Xavier.

Question: Did you know anything about that particular franchise?

Samuel: To be honest, not really. Like, I watched the film on the plane. And at that stage, I hadn’t read the books, but I have now. I knew very little about it. I knew that it was extremely popular, and people kind of go crazy for it.

Question: Crazy is an understatement.

Samuel: Yeah. Like, you know, this notion of eternal love, and danger, and – you know, the thing that you love could kill you – that sort of stuff is, like – I guess it’s intoxicating for a lot of people.

Question: And you play a vampire in Eclipse?

Samuel: Newborn vampire.

Question: A newborn vampire. Do you do any research on something like this?

Samuel: Sleep in coffins at night, and stuff like that?

Question: Or look at classic horror films that explored vampire culture.

Samuel: I think that I’ve resisted that temptation, because the vampires, in Twilight, are very different. I think there’s a crucial element to portraying something like that is retaining some sort of humanity, and if you can do that, then hopefully it can work, in less of a stereotypical, clichéd kind of way.

Lainey Gossip has posted new pics of Bryce Dallas Howard (Victoria) and Xavier Samuel (Riley) shooting a scene under a bridge for ‘Eclipse’ last night.

Last night the Twilight Eclipse crew was back to work shooting under a bridge a “Seattle” scene with Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel as “Victoria and Riley”. Victoria seduces Riley so that he’ll carry out her orders to make new vampires. As you can see, they’ve wigged out Bryce’s hair to resemble Rachelle Lefevre’s.

Check out all of the pics here!
