That's it Summit
promote the action.
Afterall
It was the "guys"
that made the books
and movies a phenomenon
David Slade "Technical" in Directing Eclipse
"He's great," she said of Slade, "he's a really different director from Chris Weitz. Chris Weitz is . . . an actor's director, there's a lot more focus on the emotion, whereas David Slade was a lot more technical, so there was like a distance because he's always thinking about the fuller picture with a lot more of the fight scenes and stuff."
Korey's words echo those of several of the Eclipse castmembers who've spoken up about the director, including Xavier Samuel ("very technically astute") and Kristen Stewart ("very technical").

Great.
Fucking great...
Damn you Summit.
David Slade Tweets About Eclipse "Pick-ups"
What the fuck does "Pick-up" mean exactly?
Nice try
Mr. David "Re-Shoot" Slade
Eclipse Sneak Peek *New*
Let me guess...Leaked?...Gotta love Summit's damage control...
"A lot more action..."
"A lot more action..."
A lot more action?!!!
...how could this happen??
More Bullshit from Summit
According to Gossip Cop, Catherine Hardwicke didn't reshoot any seens for "Eclipse", however, there are a few scenes from the movie that are being reshot, but by the film's director David Slade in Vancouver before the film hits theaters June 30th. Apparently, reshoots for the movie have been planned for quite some time, at least that's what a studio rep is reporting. "The reshoot was planned for months, like it is with the majority of the films."
It looks like the rumors regarding Hardwicke and Weiz reshooting the scenes was just an attempt for various website to drive traffic. "Reports much like the one earlier today are ploys to drive traffic without any merit and without any support from the studio on what is actually going on or true."
Trouble for Eclipse
1st Clue...David Slade was director.
I don't give a fuck that he is some very cool
vampire director with a new vision on movies.
He doesn't exactly reek of romance.
2nd...Every frickin actor that talks about this flick
manages to say "It's more geared towards the guys",
"It's more of an action flick". Hearing those words gave
me the woolies every time someone opened their mouth.
3rd...DEAD Silence in Summit Land
For a looong time.
No pictures
No trailers
No sneak peeks
Nada
Nil
Nuttin
Then David famously tweets about "...adding more Edward".
Everyone starts to freak out at this point.
Mysteriously a shit load of very intimate Edward & Bella pics
"leaked".
Leak my ass.
Summit wanted to settle everyone down.
4th...They fire their Editor on March 3rd.
MARCH 3RD
"...According to Entertainment Weekly,
the studio is not placing the blame on Jones,
but says that director David Slade's footage needs a
"stronger edit".
Oh my fucking goodness.
Ya - back to clue 1 - David Slade.
Now Today -
"Twilight Unfinished"
"...key scenes need to be reshot".
Then GossipCop comes out and says
Oh no - this happens all the time...
MY ASS IT DOES
NOT 77 DAYS BEFORE IT'S RELEASED.
Holy fuck
We are in trouble folks.

Dickhead Slade
should've read the book(s)
or else he would have known
the story was Edward and Bella
not an action thriller
aimed for guys.
All the other shit...
Volturri
Newborn Army
just background noise
It's not about action you stupid fuck.
It was not the "guy" sales that made
Twilight,
New Moon,
A success.
It was every chick that has ever been 17
and in love,
or broken...
I blame Summit
them stupid motherfuckers.
Did they not see 30 Days of Night?
or were they so greedy,
and arrogent,
as to think that they could claim
the guy sale as well as the girl sale?
My husband painfully sat throughTwilight.
And I sat in the theatre
at 12 midnight
for New Moon
ALONE
All Slade had to do was ask me,
MEN DON'T FUCKING CARE!
The only way
I would be able to get my husband
to go see eclipse,
would be to tell him,
Bella bangs both Edward and Jake
and that it was a threesome!
Eclipse...
my favorite book
from my favorite love story,
now makes me ill with thought
right from that first day
when I read
that David Slade
would seat the thrown.
As I felt then,
I feel now...
oh nooooooo....
The hiring of Slade,
(fire the motherfucker who hired him
NO
better yet
Fire the motherfucker at Summit
who first uttered his name.)
The dumping of Rachelle Lefavre,
(Major Jinx)
Having to go back after the first edit
and add more Edward.
Add more Edward?
Should that have even happened
in the first place?,
Firing the Editor,
HOLY SHIT,
is it that bad?
Now reshoots?
10 weeks away?
Break out the Pepto Bismol...
Note to the
greedy
ridiculously Incompetent
stupid
motherfuckers at Summit:
Reach deep down,
into your greedy pockets
and hire a big name Director
that knows what the fuck they're doing
when it's time for "Breaking Dawn"
Eclipse Trailer
The wig sucks
I knew it would.
They just don't seem to get the wigs right.
But Edward.
Oh Edward.
I like what I see.
His eyes are golden honey.
As they should be.
Like Twilight.
Not burnt orange
like in New Moon.
And the close ups,
sweet.
Mr. Slade I do believe
you may have gotten this right.
Too little to tell,
but so far, I like what I see.
Summit fires "Eclipse" Editor
According to Entertainment Weekly, the studio is not placing the blame on Jones, but says that director David Slade's footage needs a "stronger edit".
Jones has previously worked with Slade on horror films 30 Days Of Night and Hard Candy.
Sources for Summit claim that Richardson, who recently edited Miley Cyrus's The Last Song, is seen as a better choice for Eclipse as she understands how to balance action and emotion.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is scheduled to open in the US on June 30 and July 9 in the UK.

I. FUCKING. KNEW IT.
They should fire the motherfucker
that first suggested Slade as Director.
Did they not view his work?
or the work of those Slade surrounded himself with?
KARMA
that's what's happening here.
They fucked Rachelle LeFavre
out of her contract
and replaced her.
What happens?
First cut scrapped by Summit
to add more Edward.
Should that have even happened in the first place?
Add more Edward?
Now they fire the Editor
The guy that glues it all together.
NOT A GOOD SIGN
The Reason?
"balance between action and emotion"
which equals
Love story lost.
NOT A GOOD SIGN

I'd like to hear from Stephenie Meyer
right about now.
I have a gut feeling,
Eclipse is a mess...
David Slade adding more Robert Pattinson to the film
As noted back then, that screening would probably not be of the final cut, and edits would likely be required by the studio for one purpose or another.
Today, David Slade confirmed the fact that edits are now happening, saying "Cutting like crazy, the film is getting closer working through the weekends again, adding more EDWARD!"
Adding more Edward (portrayed by Robert Pattinson)? Probably a good idea. While The Twilight Saga: New Moon was expected to have less of "Edward Cullen" in the picture and more of the werewolves (namely, "Jacob Black" by Taylor Lautner), Eclipse is - literally - a different story.
Back in December, Slade promised fans that "Edward seems to be a really strong presence, the intensity of the love story & rivalry between Jacob is in the driving seat," but he also stated that there was a "great state of balance" and that "it's all even with the action sequences."
Looks like the studio cuts are beckoning the weight of the balance to favor the relationship end . . .

Somebody should've told dick-head
there is no balance between the love story
and action sequences
the story is NOT about action sequences,
never was.
It is a LOVE story
between a vampire and a girl.
period.
I wonder if Stephenie Meyer
got a hold of
the first screening
and gasped,
What did you do to my story?
(Do Mormons say fuck?)
Edward and Bella
"even with the action sequences"...
Again
I ask myself,
What were they thinking
hiring the 30 Days of Night director?
I don't have a good feeling about this.
Bad vibes.
Adding more Edward?
Should there have been
any question
of his presence in the film
to begin with,
Did dick-head Slade even read Eclipse the book?
I read the script.
Did Summit Entertainment?
Did Stephenie Meyer?
It was obvious where he was going
with the story.
Yes,
Bad vibes to say the least.
More work from dickhead...
First Cut of Twilight: Eclipse Ready
First Cut of 'Twilight: Eclipse' ready. David Slade, who directed the vampire flick " 30 Days of Night", has been working hard as the director for the highly anticipated third installment in Summit Entertainemnt's "Twilight" franchise. He has revealed that the first director's cut of the flick is ready and has been sent over to the studio. He took to his Twitter page to announce, "Big day, screening first director's cut to the studio phase 1. This will be the first time anyone out of editorial has seen the cut".
Remember, the director's cut is not the final cut and the general public most likely won't get to see that version unless it winds up as a special feature on the DVD. The good news is, with a director's cut of the flick finished, fans may be seeing a teaser trailer at the very least hitting the web very soon.

My Eclipse Script Review (sort of) **Spoiler Alert**
You're supposed to learn from your mistakes, right? I should've learned after reading the script to Remember Me. I was shocked by the ending and immediately regretted that I caved into curiosity. When I got my hands on the script for Eclipse, I wish dejavu had kicked my ass and sent my index finger directly to the delete key before I spoiled my favorite of the Twilight saga.
I read Eclipse twice.
How could reading the script kill the movie experience for me?
I wasn't thinking.
Fucking curiosity killed me again.
(For anyone that made a vow to stay Eclipse free....STOP. Don't read any further, just click your way down to Rob candy and check out a video)
Reading the script re-affirmed my lack of confidence in Melissa Rosenberg scripting Breaking Dawn. Although Eclipse pails in comparison to Breaking Dawn's complex mess, Melissa still falls short on substance in key dialogue scenes...
including my favorite...
including my favorite...
(i.e.) The Jacob kiss after the tent.
Bella chases after Jacob to prevent him from joining the Newborn fight. Out of desperation to stop himshe yells out, "Kiss me!"
He doesn't hesitate, she surrenders to it.
(script: Push in close on her face as a wave of repressed feelings rises up, flooding her mind. As they are kissing a series of fast dissolves, one into another as years pass...)
~Bella and Jacob, arm in arm, sitting on a stoop in the bright sunlight.
~Now they're in their late 20's rocking an infant
~In their 30's there are 2 kids now, toddler boy. Infant girl.
~In their 40's the GROWN children home for the holidays
~In their 60's, playing with their grandchildren
...she abruptly snaps out of it.
WHAT. THE. FUCK?
Did I really need to know that while she's kissing Jacob, it's her life with HIM, that's playing out in her head? That this will be played out on the big screen? Betrayal of IMAX proportions?
And the dialogue with Edward after that kiss? Ms. Rosenberg's sophisticated writing talent goes as follows;
Bella, "Edward"
He appears from around the rock, comes toward her. She sees his face, stops. Knows.
Bella, "you saw?"
Edward, "No, but Jacobs thoughts are very loud"
Bella, "I don't know what happened"
Edward, "You love him"
Bella, "I love you more"
I love you more? I LOVE YOU MORE? Is that fucking it?
After those one liners Edward goes on to say it was his fault asking her to choose, his fault for leaving her for Jacob to mend her.
Bella, "Don't blame yourself"
Edward, "I just want you to be happy no matter" ---
then it cuts to Edward saying, "It's begun"
Ms Rosenberg couldn't even let Edward finish his fucking sentence?
THAT'S IT?
Is that the best Ms. Rosenberg could come up with?
After immediately reading that scene, I had a flash back to New Moon and Melissa's brilliant writing after Bella talks to Jacob for the first time after his phasing...
Bella, "So you're a werewolf"
Jacob, "Yeah, since the last time I checked"
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
In the book, the character of Riley and the Newborn army was a background shadow to the story, to the LOVE story that Stephanie gave her readers. Unfortunately, that is not the case for the movie.
Case in point...
Riley.
His character plays a significant part throughout the script. The opening scene starts with him, as a college student, being stalked and eventually bitten by Victoria. The scene cuts to Charlie, the police station, and Riley's parents filing a missing persons report.
He goes onto biting and recruiting newborns. Taking those newborns to bite and recruit more newborns. Riley and Victoria frolicking. Riley, in Bella's bedroom stealing her red sweater. Riley taking the sweater to other newborns to catch a sniff. Riley and newborns traveling to the spot of Bella's (planned scent) in the woods. Riley joining Victoria to Kill Edward and Bella.
Which leads to the fight between Edward, Riley and Victoria.
Edward tries to bargain with Riley by diss'n Victoria. Doesn't work.
Script:
"Bella's POV on Edward: Riley tackles him to his knees, Victoria grabs Edward from behind.
Time freezes-- slow motion as Bella's eyes meet Edwards.
Close on Bella's face--see her clarity, she's never in her life been more sure of what she wants than in this moment. With purpose she grabs up a sharp piece of slate. Bella plunges the shard downward, stabbing her arm. Blood flows dripping bright red onto the white snow. Riley spins toward Bella, the scent making him wild. Victoria catches her scent long enough for Edward to seize the moment. Edward rips Riley's arm off and tosses him to Seth to finish off...."
In a nutshell, Edward rips Victoria's head off with is mouth (true Violent David Slade style I would imagine)...
Script:
"Edward looks up at Bella. Their eyes meet. But shame, fear, cloud his face. She moves toward him. Slowly. As she reaches him, he turns away.
Bella, "Edward"
Edward, "I didn't want you to see that".
Brilliant writing there, Rosenberg (eyeroll)
Much to my dismay, Rosenberg included that creepy imprinting crap into the script. Jacob fills Bella in on the Sam, Leah and Emily love triange, In which Bella herself, says is "creepy". (set up Jacob and Renessme')
Also set up in Eclipse for Breaking Dawn are 2 scenes in which both Charlie and Renee talk to Bella about having children. With Charlie it was incorporated in the scene when she talks to him about his feelings about Marriage and in a scene with Renee when Bella goes to visit her in Florida. Renee gives her a quilt made of T-shirts of different places they went to. With Renee saying to Bella that she can do the same with her "Children".
Eclipse was my favorite of the three books.
My only wish was that Catherine Hardwick was the one to direct it. She captured Stephanie Meyers vision of Edward and Bella and brought their love story to life. Unfortunately, and I hope I'm wrong, but I think David Slade being the dark director he is, does Eclipse an injustice by focusing on Victoria and Riley and the newborn army instead of the love between Edward and Bella and the conflict between Edward, Bella & Jacob. That is clearly apparent in the script.
I hope the editing of this movie proves me wrong.
I can only hope Stephanie has a hand in the editing of the movie and and steals back her characters making all those involved with the movie, staying true to what the saga is all about.
I haven't gotten past David Slade dissing Twilight before he was hired to direct Eclipse. His forced twitter apology to put the die-hard twilight fans at rest
did not impress me in the least.
With all that being said,
I wish I had taken the vow to remain Eclipse free.
I cannot believe I gave into curiosity, yet again.
