Julia_Jones_Boston_Globe

Boston native Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater in the upcoming Eclipse, talked to her hometown paper, The Boston Globe, about the storm that is coming when Eclipse releases this June.

“Julia Jones plays Leah Clearwater, the only female werewolf in the pack, a mostly miserable young woman who is cursed with the power to read the mind of her ex-boyfriend — who has fallen in love with someone else. Jones explains that Meyer’s detailed portrait of Leah helped her fall in love with the angsty, supernatural character.

“Because Stephenie Meyer wrote the layers, you’re kind of serving something else,’’ says Jones, who had a small role on NBC’s “ER’’ and acted in a few indie films before landing the role in “Eclipse.’’ “Usually you’re looking for any clue you can in a script – usually it’s skeletal, because it’s not prose. But in this case, there’s 3,000 pages of detail.’’

Howard Shore to Score Eclipse

Howard Shore the mater behind the Lord of the Rings score is on board to score Eclipse. Shore is also tapped for the upcoming Vancouver Olympics’ music.

“No matter how much hate is thrown at The Twilight Saga, you can’t deny that the franchise has reeled in its fair share of talent. Not only have they brought in talented and acclaimed actors like Dakota Fanning, Anna Kendrick, and Michael Sheen, but it’s brought in gifted composers like Alexandre Desplat to write music for the vampire romance. Now the saga has upped their game even further as Movie Score Magazine reports that Howard Shore (responsible for the Oscar winning music from the Lord of the Rings trilogy) has been brought on to compose the score for the third forthcoming installment in the series .”
