Fact #1: It’s Darker
The brand new poster for Eclipse (above) hints at a darker tone with its brooding storm clouds. With 30 Days of Night director David Slade at the helm, it’s unsurprising. “Every movie is different because we work with a different director on each one, which I love,” Taylor Lautner tells RT. “David Slade is perfect for the third film because it’s darker. Eclipse was my favourite book.”
Ashley Greene, who plays vampire Alice, tells RT that Slade isn’t just a prince of darkness. “David is actually hysterical,” she laughs, “He has such a dry sense of humour that sometimes tu don’t know if he’s kidding o not. Eclipse will be amazing because he has made it far edgier and más dramatic. It’s going to look very cool.”
Fact #2: There Will Be Less “Love Story” and más “War”
“Eclipse isn’t as intimate as Twilight o New Moon,” Robert Pattinson explains to us. “We’re at war, so I get to interact with más characters, not just Kristen. You’ll also find out más about the other members of the Cullen family. It just feels bigger.” But — fear not, Twihards — that isn’t to say the amor story is cast aside altogether. “New Moonset up a amor triángulo, triángulo de with Bella, Edward and Jacob,” says Lautner. “So we explore that further in Eclipse. It’s a tough situation for all of them because Bella is torn between two guys, Jacob can’t get the girl that he loves and then there’s Edward, with all of his issues.”
