Edward Protects Bella: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart ECLIPSE Photo
Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) tries to protect Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) from a tree with vindictive Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) hanging precariously on top of it. (Click on the image to enlarge it.) The tree will not be standing for long. (Watch the final Eclipse trailer.)
This screen grab from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is one of the many screen grabs that have been circulating the Internet. As mentioned before in previous posts, Summit is clearly making sure that US moviegoers know that Eclipse has lots of action.
Here’s hoping it’ll have as much emotional depth as suspense and thrills. Else, Summit will end up alienating fans of the novels. Those fans, after all, form the core of Twilight’s moviegoing public. The studio has to strike a fine balance between attempting to reach the widest possible audience while maintaining Eclipse faithful to the book’s spirit.
Now, much like the meadow setting featuring Bella and Edward making love, this snow scene looks incredibly beautiful. Javier Aguirresarobe is truly a master of his craft. (I’m assuming that Aguirresarobe, not some second-unit cinematographer, shot both scenes.)
Directed by David Slade from a screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens in the United States on June 30. The premiere will be held in Los Angeles on June 24 at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. Pattinson, Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and others involved in the making of Eclipse are expected to attend.
Also in the Eclipse cast: Dakota Fanning, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Anna Kendrick, Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli, and Catalina Sandino Moreno.
Oscar winner Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters, Kinsey, Dreamgirls, the Chicago adaptation) has been announced as the director of the next installment of the Twilight Saga franchise: Breaking Dawn. Melissa Rosenberg is penning the screenplay adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel, the last (to date; possibly ever) in the series. Breaking Dawn should start filming in the fall.
