when they talk about the movie being “darker,” I think they’re talking about the fight with the newborns, not the overall atmosphere.

…don’t be doubtful before the movie’s even wrapped yet. at least he’s nice enough to keep fans in the loop by frequently tweeting information.

so very true!
I am enjoying the ride as well.. and I do not care, if eyes are gold or black, if it is too dark or too romantic. I just wanna see my favorite books coming to life.

Well I hope you’re right. But hearing Justin talk about it being darker doesn’t make sense since he’s only human in the movie and all the school parts are not dark. Graduation. graduation party etc.

I have lots of faith in David Slade. Many fans worry that he will ruin the “Eclipse”. But after watching his “Hard Candy” (especially that one as it’s really elaborate) & “30 Days of Night” (great piece of an atmospheric wintry horror IMHO) I’m quite sure he must be a very thorough director. Plus, I think he wouldn’t like to destroy his own promising career with any false step right now.

Thank you! It’s like some people just gripe about everything. I am so super excited about anything I get to see and some just find it as another opportunity to be negative. I just don’t get that. Nothing will ever make everyone happy, I guess. Too bad for them, I’m enjoying the ride!

I’ve been enjoying Mr. Slade’s tweets & appreciate that he’s taking the time to let us know what’s going on, even if it’s just a sentence or two. I think it shows that he does care about the fans.

(1) People need to remember that this is David Slade’s twitter account, not Eclipse the Official Movie’s twitter. He’s doing the fans a service by tweeting about what he’s shooting. People really need to get off his case.

(2) I don’t understand how you expect actors to talk abut scenes, which they (a) are not in or (b)they haven’t shot yet. Judging from Peter Facinelli’s tweets and David Slade’s it seems like the majority or scenes being shot or have been shot have to do with the newborn fight, hence, why that’s what comes up in interviews. Rob, Taylor, and Kristen haven’t been interviewed yet, and promotion for Eclipse hasn’t even started yet, so I don’t know why you expect anybody to talk about anything “emotional”.

Couldn’t agree more!
I feel like all I’m hearing is about the newborns & how “dark” the tone is … it has me nervous.
Looking very much forward to seeing something to get me excited about Slade’s direction.

Until I see actual clips for Eclipse instead of just reading his short tweets, I’m not confident. I don’t think Slade has the same vision as Chris Weitz does. It seems that he’s concentrating only of the gore, darkness, (which only happens in the fight scene with the newborns) I hope he’ll remember the emotional aspects (and there’s alot of it in Eclipse) and includes it in the movie.

I get so excited when I sign on to twitter and see things he writes about Eclipse. I hope it turns out good
