Jen Yamato: Ashley Greene Exclusive
Ashley Greene just got back from filming The Apparition in Europe in time to promote her movie Skateland at the SXSW film festival. Fearnet’s Jen Yamato caught up with her there to talk about Eclipse.
“You got to tear off a vampire’s head in Twilight and face off with the Volturi in New Moon. What can you tell us about the things you get to do in Eclipse, which we know from the book will have more of a fighting element?
The thing I’ll say about Twilight is, one, it’s given me this Hollywood crash course and I’ve been able to work with three great directors. And also, my character is an incredible character to break out with because she’s perky and happy and sweet, and she’s this best friend character that everybody loves, so it’s an amazing first character to have. Throughout the series you’ve gotten to see her go from really sweet to kind of sassy, and now in the third one we get to showcase this massive fight sequence that I’m a part of, so we got to get our action star fix. You get to see Alice get kind of down and dirty and see a really intense side of her that maybe you haven’t seen before.”

Bella’s Engagement Ring
We’ve seen all kinds of posts from all over the internet about the engagement ring Bella wears in the trailer for Eclipse. The ladies at Infinite Jewelry have gone on a Pre-Eclipse sale offering the Official Bella’s Engagement ring for $20 off the regular price. Given that the ring in the trailer looks very much like the ring Infinite Jewelry designed with the guidance of Stephenie Meyer, this would be the perfect time for fans to grab this key piece to dressing up like Bella in the films. The sale extends to other items at their site as well.
Kristen Stewart talks Rob, Twilight fans, and Joan Jett
Parade Magazine has an interview with Kristen Stewart about a wide range of topics showing just how diverse this young actress really is. Kristen had this to say about Twilight fans:
“I’ve never been so fanatical about something. I never had that thing that I’m obsessed with. But, I’ve followed things for years like bands and movies and actors. I completely get what they’re feeling. Personally, it’s just so cool for me to be able to go back and follow a character for so long in successive movies. The fact that fans love them helps give me the chance.”

The Hunt for Breaking Dawn Directors Begins
In our opinion, which is based on past experience and conjecture not insider info, Summit will tell us details about Breaking Dawn after the Eclipse major marketing wave is over. That’s not to say that Melissa Rosenberg isn’t working on script options, meaning making it one movie or two movies, that they aren’t figuring if they will use Portland or Vancouver, or when they’ll be shooting. It just means that like most companies, they like to focus their marketing and newscycle on one major product at a time. Pun intended, they don’t want the Eclipse movie to be eclipsed by Breaking Dawn news.
So where is all this going? Well, to prove that work does continue behind the scenes, here is some information vie Entertainemnt Weekly
“Sources tell EW that the studio has reached out to at least three top-notch directors, including Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation), Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) to gauge their interest in what is likely to be two movies. (Van Sant’s reps confirmed that he’s been approached, but Coppola and Condon’s people didn’t return phone calls by press time. Summit declined to comment.)”
