Shooting from August to October

Twlight: Eclipse Has A Start Date

The second film's not out for months - but by the time it hits screens, shooting on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third film in the franchise, will be pretty much wrapped. Yes, there's a start-of-shooting date for Eclipse, and it's August 17, with production due to wrap in Vancouver on Halloween.

The third book in the Twilight saga sees heroine Bella (Kristen Stewart) torn between vampire love Edward (Robert Pattinson) and shapeshifting wolfy friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner, who's been working out), while a new threat emerges from a savage army of newborn vampires.

With The Twilight Saga: New Moon out on November 20, the franchise is moving ever faster in order, we assume, to strike while fandom is hot for its stars (here's what one of them had to say yesterday). At this pace, they should all be out before slower readers have even finished the last book.

RE: Twlight: Eclipse Has A Start Date
I used to take the piss out of the female Twilight fever that occasionally erupted on the Empire boards, but at the end of the day some of us guys are equally as sad when we get super excited about the next Marvel/DC film coming out. I mean, clearly the films aren't aimed at most of the readers of Empire, so maybe we should just try to ignore it, and let the fangirls/...boys? of the series carry on with their discussions:D] And like someone else above, I'm kind of intrigued to see what Da... Read More

RE: Twlight: Eclipse Has A Start Date
I was just looking at the imdb page for this film. There's a thread where people talk about the dialogue from the book that just HAS to be in the film. I can't decide if my favourite is   Bella: I hate you, Jacob Black. Jacob: That's good. Hate is a passionate emotion. Bella: I'll give you passionate. Murder, the ultimate crime of passion   or   Jacob: He's like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have bee... Read More
