Q: Why should somebody see “Eclipse”?
David Slade: I guess, like, if you’re not into the World Cup, and there’s nothing worth seeing on TV and you’ve not got any plans, we’ve got, like, I think six or seven decapitations. You know, if there’s nothing much going on that night, it’s a good night out. As long as there’s nothing else on at the movies you want to see. But no, being serious, I think it’s the most mature book, and I think we made, we went for the most mature film. Certainly, there’s a great deal of romance in the film, but there’s also other things. Vengeance is a very big theme in the film. Our action sequences all are built out of character, so they’re not just effects. They’re actually built out of a need to get to a place. And I think it’s a film for everyone, this one.
Q: What did you do to prepare for “Eclipse” and how did you bring your own style to the film?
David Slade: There’s a cinematic vocabulary to each of the films they’ve done. And it doesn’t come from that much premeditation. It comes from two things. One, seeing the film in my head before we go out and make it, and being very clear about what that is and planning it, and then two, what’s right for the scene and the character. I believe the most interesting thing to look at in the world is the human face, so that is why I tend to be a little closer to those human faces than maybe other directors would be.
Wyck Godfrey: When you were first talking to us about the movie, you had said that by letting the background fall out of focus and really focusing on the characters in the dangerous scenes, it creates a heightened sense of anxiety. You feel like you don’t really know what’s back there, and in the romantic scenes it creates an incredible sense of intimacy. You really feel like it’s just these two people in that world, and I think that was really effective in the movie.You can read the rest of the interview here!
David Slade: I was going to go on to elaborate, just one sentence, which is to say that with close-up comes selective focus, and it is to focus the viewer, to point them in a direction. And when I talked about vocabulary, it extends so you get a close-up which has very little amount of focus in it, but also you’ll see medium shots and wider shots that also bring the audience’s attention to a specific place, which is entirely intentional.
Q: How difficult was it to adapt the novel into a two-hour movie?
MR: I think, to begin with, it took me by surprise, because I actually thought this would be the easiest, because there’s so much conflict in it, and you have this huge battle that you’re building toward. But then once I got into it and actually breaking the story, I realized all that happened in the third act. So then it was looking at what’s going on in the first two acts other than conversation leading up. And what I found was that a lot of the threat that is in the third act, that’s building that conflict, pulling that forward and being able to expand on some of the mythology. In a movie, we can cut away to another perspective, but in the book, it’s all Bella’s perspective. So it actually ended up being probably the most fun to write in the end, after I got over the incredible disappointment that it wasn’t going to be easy — as if anything ever is.
Q: Are there any extras for the DVD?
Wyck Godfrey: Well, the nude scene you shot that wasn’t in the book will probably be on there. I don’t know, I think with any film, you go through the process of kind of editing it down to its fighting weight, and ultimately you’re going to end up with some scenes that didn’t end up in the movie.
David Slade: There were a number of scenes which just felt excessive in terms of beating the same story, so we took them out, but some of them were really nice and are great little standalones.
Wyck Godfrey: There was a great scene with Angela and Kristin that is really just kind of two girls talking about guy troubles, and it’s really, really sweet, but it took place in a section of the movie that we really had to kind of propel.
David Slade: What happens is the film has its own momentum from the script, and you start driving and you start snowballing, you start going and going and going. By the time you hit the third act you’re just blasting along. And that scene just went — (skidding noise) stop. But it’s a beautiful scene, beautifully performed, and it’s going to be a nice, little bonus for fans of the books to know that we went and shot that stuff.
Q: Did you shoot any behind the scenes stuff?
Wyck Godfrey: Well, I think there’s going to be a lot of classic behind the scenes stuff. You’ll get to see how we did most of the action and stunts in the movie and a lot of the CG process, so all of that stuff, I think, will flesh out the experience for audiences that do like to go behind the camera and see how it’s all done.

Stephen Moyer, who plays 174-year-old vampire Bill Compton in the award-winning HBO series True Blood, reckons you can’t compare the Twilight films with his show.[Source: OK Magazine]
“That’s like comparing Monterey Jack and Roquefort,” he said. “If my eight-year-old daughter comes to me when she’s 13 and says, ‘Dad, what would you rather I got into, Twilight or Black Sabbath?’ I’d be stuck between the two but would probably pull for Twilight. I love Black Sabbath, but that can wait until my daughter turns 16.
“The Twilight movies fill a niche. In her Twilight novels Stephenie Meyer has chosen a similar vampire framework to tell a story about burgeoning sexuality. What’s interesting about our show is that sexuality has already burgeoned. I wish Twilight the best of luck, but I’m very happy to be doing True Blood.”
You’re new to the hysteria surrounding the Twilight franchise. How are you handling it?
It’s a wonderful thing; all these people come out and support these stories and they’re really passionate. It’s intimidating when you’re doing the work because you really have to pay tribute to the characters that are so dear to people.
Was the Twilight convention in L.A. your first experience with that sort of intense fan reaction?You can read the rest of the interview here!
Yeah. It was really nuts. They just kind of pushed us out into a sea of 2,000 people. It was just bizarre. But they’re all really friendly. I think the fans will laugh and cheer at just about anything you say.
Did you know anything about the franchise before you signed on?
Well, I didn’t have the matchbooks or the pillow cases or anything like that.
For shame!
[Laughs] I know! Well, I knew that it was severely popular; I’d seen the posters on the back of busses. And then when I found out I had an audition, a whole bunch of friends kind of jumped out of the Twilight closet and were like “Oh my god! You need to do this!” and got really excited on my behalf. But yeah, I didn’t know much about it.
The opening scene with you is intense. It definitely sets the tone for the rest of the movie.
Yeah, it was intense to shoot it, too. We were down at the docks and they had these rain machines and it was really slippery. It’s a great introduction to the character.
I’ve read all the books…only because, you know, I had to for my job.
Oh yeah, sure. [Laughs]
But from what I remember from Eclipse, Riley is barely mentioned. But in the movie, he’s a big character.
That’s the thing. When I got the job, I was flipping through it going “Where’s Riley, where’s Riley, where’s Riley?” But I think one of the other really exciting things about this installment is that it’s the first time that it departs from Bella’s perspective. So not only has it given me more to do, it also gives us the opportunity to learn more about the Cullen family. You learn a lot more about Jasper and Rosalie’s backstories, which is really exciting.
One thing about Riley’s character in the movie compared to the book is that I think the audience has a lot more sympathy for him now. You really feel bad about the way Victoria is playing with his emotions. Did you and David talk about how to approach him as this complex, tortured guy instead of just a straight-up villain?
Yeah, that was really important. We talked about how the relationship between Victoria and Riley really mirrors Lady MacBeth and MacBeth. She’s manipulating him; she’s got him wrapped around her little finger and he’ll do anything for love, even if it means assembling a newborn, bloodthirsty vampire army. But on top of that, we talked about how he’s had his humanity ripped away from him, and as a result he harbours this intense jealousy and rage and hatred for humanity. He’s really wrestling with that, so he really is a complex character.
LAPUSH — About 15 representatives of the Quileute tribe will attend the Los Angeles premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on Thursday.Read the rest of the interview over at BlackPack!
The five-member council was invited to bring a guest as well as a student from the Quileute Tribal School.
However, Chairwoman Anna Rose Counsell-Geyer decided to give up her tickets to allow other members to attend the swanky event that will unveil the latest movie in the “Twilight” blockbuster series.
Although not one frame of film has been shot on the West End — where author Stephenie Myers sets her best-selling series of Twilight novels — the premiere of each film has been big news on the North Olympic Peninsula.
“As the chairwoman of the Quileute tribe, I am honored and excited for my council and their chosen guests,” Counsell Geyer said.
“I’m Team Edward all the way, man!” Since Jaden did all his own stunts he could be perfect for the Twilight Saga’s fourth film… he can flip, he’s small and loves Twilight…sounds like a good fit.Interesting! What part do you think he could play in either Breaking Dawn Part 1 or Breaking Dawn Part 2?
“I feel like it’s so obvious where you break it up. It’s as soon as she turns,” Stewart told AP Television at a weekend publicity event for the third “Twilight” film, “Eclipse,” opening June 30. “Gosh, you open your eyes to this different world, right? That would be amazing.”I agree Kristen! That would be a perfect place to end Part 1, then begin Part 2 with Bella’s eyes opening .. seeing everything as a Vampire for the first time. Can’t wait!
Stewart said she’s looking forward to her character’s development in the final two films, the first of which is set for release Nov. 18, 2011.
“It’s such a crazy concept though,” she said. “I’m going to be playing a wife and a mother and a vampire. I haven’t read the scripts … but I don’t see where else it could split other than when she turns. … I’m really curious as to what I’m going to be doing in the next six months.”
In Eclipse, we see Jasper and Rosalie’s backstories. Where’s Emmett’s?
I know! There’s an excerpt that Stephenie [Meyer] wrote called “Emmett and the Bear” that she posted on her website. It really shows what the story is with Emmett and his relationship with Edward and how they became really close. I wish that we could show that. I’d love for Stephenie to write the Emmett chronicles.
Would you consider doing an Emmett spin-off?
Oh yeah. Even if it’s just one movie. To see Emmett and Rosalie’s relationship more would be nice. I love my character; I’ve made such a backstory in my head, and I just don’t get to show a lot of him. I can’t help it and I can’t complain, but there’s a lot that I want to do with him.
Let’s talk about Breaking Dawn. Are you excited that it’s being split into two movies?You can read the rest of the interview here!
I really am. I haven’t really sensed an ending coming up for the Twilight saga. I don’t want it to end because I love my character. I don’t mind going through two hours of makeup and putting in those annoying contacts just to be my character, because I have this happiness when I transform into him. And to get to do two more premieres, two more press junkets and have twice as long to travel around the world to meet fans is awesome. It’s just so easy. The movies don’t take too long to shoot and it’s a nice reunion with the rest of the cast.
So you’re not getting antsy to move on from Twilight?
It’s opened up so many doors that it doesn’t seem like it’s our whole life. We shoot it, then we work on three other different movies, and then you come back and get another taste of Twilight. I’m not super-saturated with Emmett or this saga yet; it hasn’t gotten old and it’s not going to.
What are you looking forward to about Breaking Dawn?
I really can’t wait to see how they’re going to do the whole baby thing. I’m just really excited to see how Melissa [Rosenberg] is going to write it. And also when they’re going to make part A stop and part B start. Is it before Bella transforms into a vampire? I can’t wait to read the script!
