MTV: More Questions Come With ‘Eclipse” Director
‘Eclipse’ Gets a Bloodthirsty New Director - And More Questions Than Answers
Published by Larry Carroll
In case you haven’t heard the news, the director of “Eclipse” has been officially chosen. And my own personal first thoughts when I heard the news? Well, I have like a million of them.
I’ve interviewed David Slade before, and he’s a very smart, charismatic guy who harnesses some immense filmmaking tools. That said, I definitely thought “30 Days of Night” was a disappointment. It had a lot of fatal flaws in it, usually whenever the blood would stop flowingand it was time for us to actually start caring about the characters. “Hard Candy” also flirted with moments of brilliance, but I still feel like Slade’s best work is ahead of him.
What I am beginning to enjoy, however, is Summit’s decision to hire a different director for each film. Which is surprising, because I was definitely hoping that Catherine Hardwicke would oversee the entire series after the first “Twilight” became such a big hit. But if you’re a movie buff (and not just a Twilighter first and foremost), this is developing into a very interesting cinematic experiment.

Hi. I think it would be best for them to read all the series of books, so they have an idea, like casting wise for instance, where in Jacob character grew in height in the series: eclipse, but in actual they have the same height as Bella’s how can that be justified.
