Eclipse: Coming to a Billboard Near You!
Bella’s Engagement Ring Giveaway
For those of you watching Oprah today, we have a little surprise for you. After the taping of the show the audience was given a certificate that could be redeemed for a fashion version of Bella’s Engagement Ring ™ from Infinite Jewelry.
Since Alphie, who attended the show, already has one of these beautiful rings and has worn hers every day for the last year and a half, she doesn’t need another one. So she’s giving hers away to one lucky reader. If you’d like to win Bella’s Engagement Ring from Infinite Jewelry, just leave a response to this post with the words PICK ME. We will pick one winner at random at11:59pm est tonight. EDITED: in fairness to those who tried to comment earlier and were unable because of the massive webtraffic that all but killed our server (we’re wounded but hanging in there) we’ve extended the deadline to Sunday, May 16 at 11:59 est. Four years of covering twilight and we’ve never seen anything like this.
Clip of Eclipse: The Volturi Observe the Newborns
![]()
There’s a new Eclipse clip up on Apple Trailers that you can download to your desktop, IPone, or just play. It’s a great example of what the movie experience can do to broaden the Twilight Saga. Since the books are entirely first person from Bella’s perspective in Eclipse, you only get to see what Bella sees with her own eyes. Well, ever wonder what the Volturi were thinking about the newborns, and why they did or didn’t take actions? Watch and find out!
Metric Blogs About the Eclipse Soundtrack Experience
The band Metric was one of the first reveals on the eclipse Soundtrack listing yesterday. What we didn’t know at the time is that legendary composer Howard Shore, who is doing the score, collaborated with the band Metric on their contribution!
On the band’s MySpace blog, Emily, the lead singer, writes:
“Yes … It’s official. Our song “All Yours”, co-written with the legendary film composer Howard Shore and performed by Metric, is going to be featured in the movie Eclipse, the next installment in the worldwide phenomenon known as the Twilight saga.
I’ve always wanted to write music for film, but I never expected to start with something on this scale, so you can imagine how surprised I was when out of nowhere I got a phone call from Howard Shore, who I’d never met or even spoken with before. Most people know him as the man who wrote the acclaimed score for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I grew up on Shore’s earlier works– his score for David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch in collaboration with jazz great Ornette Coleman still stands as one of the most ambitious & unusual scores out there.
To my amazement, Howard was calling to ask me to work with him on his latest project: scoring the next Twilight movie, Eclipse. He wanted Jimmy & I to write the theme song for the pivotal last scene in the movie,
integrating the music from his existing score into a composition that would express the emotional ending of the film. Seriously?!?! The lyrics would have to be in the voice of the main character Bella, and we had to stay within the confines of harmonic and melodic themes Howard had in mind for the last scene.”
