Summit Entertainment released a plot summary of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on February 20, 2009, which states:

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death.[4]

  • Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, Bella's vampire boyfriend who can read minds, except for Bella's. In New Moon, Edward left Bella, and now he has returned to try to stay apart of her life.[10]

Secondary characters

Production

Development

In early November 2008, Summit announced that they had attained the rights to the remaining books in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.[19] In February 2009, Summit confirmed that they would begin working on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. On the same day, it was announced that since New Moon director Chris Weitz would be in post-production for New Moon when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse began shooting, he would not be directing the third film.[20][21] Instead, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse would be helmed by director David Slade, with Melissa Rosenberg returning as screenwriter.[22]

Casting

Summit Entertainment revealed that they would replace Rachelle Lefevre, who played an evil vampire named Victoria, with Bryce Dallas Howard in late July 2009. They attributed the change to scheduling conflicts, and Lefevre responded by saying she was "stunned" and "greatly saddened" by the decision.[23] Bryce Dallas Howard was initially approached to play Victoria in Twilight, but she rejected it as it was "too small of a part".[24]

Jodelle Ferland was cast as the newly turned vampire, Bree.[25] Other new cast members include Xavier Samuel as Riley,[26] Jack Huston as Royce King II,[27] Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria,[28]Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater,[25] and Boo Boo Stewart as Seth Clearwater.[25]

Filming and post-production

Principal photography began on August 17, 2009 at Vancouver Film Studios.[29][30] On August 29, photos captured Kristen Stewart, Billy Burke, and other principal actors, filming a scene with graduation caps and gowns.[31] September 2 brought Xavier Samuel together with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson filming at a soundstage for scenes at Bella's house.[32] Director David Slade stated that they filmed a scene with a tent on September 13.[33] He also said on his Twitter account that they filmed a kiss between Jacob and Bella on September 17.[34] Filming wrapped up on October 29, 2009, while post production began in late November.[35] Slade published multiple updates on his Twitter account proclaiming that editing was going well.[36] He said the "story and the way [they] approached the film calls for a more realistic approach."[37]

In January 2010, an early draft of the film's script was leaked on the Internet.[38] The script presumably belonged to star Jackson Rathbone, as his name was watermarked across each page.[38]

Music

The score for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be composed by Academy Award winner Howard Shore, who composed the scores for such films as The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Aviator.[39]

Marketing

On November 5, 2009, the American Film Market revealed the first poster for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.[40] In late February 2010, Summit Entertainment announced that the first trailer would be attached to the studio's own film, Remember Me, which also stars Robert Pattinson. On March 10, 2010, a 10-second preview of the trailer was released online,[41] followed by the release of the full trailer the next day.[42] The trailer's release coincided with the launching of the film's official website. The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD and Blu-ray Walmart Ultimate Fan Edition includes a 7-minute first look at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.[43] On March 23, the second poster for the film was released.[1] the second and final trailer is set to be released on april 23rd.

Sequel

Summit Entertainment announced in November 2008 that they had obtained the rights to the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's series, Breaking Dawn.[44] Though Summit has not yet officially greenlit the project, stars Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene have stated that there are plans for a Breaking Dawn film and that production is expected to begin after the completion of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.[45][46] Wyck Godfrey, producer of the previous films in the series, said, "...it's a little overwhelming to really think in a detailed manner of how we're going to crack this, but we have every intention to make Breaking Dawn."[47] When talking about Taylor Lautner's next film for Summit Entertainment, producer Wyck Godfrey stated, "Lautner will reprise his role of Jacob in "Breaking Dawn" beginning in late 2010, and it is likely that the final book will be divided into two films that will shoot back-to-back."[48] Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter for the previous films in the franchise, is writing the Breaking Dawn script(s).[49]
