Eclipse (film)

Eclipse is the third installment of the Twilight film series, based on Stephenie Meyer's novel of the same name. The film is tentatively scheduled for release on June 30, 2010. It will follow 2008's Twilight and 2009's New Moon. Summit Entertainment officially greenlit the film in February 2009. Because New Moon director Chris Weitz will be in post-production for New Moon, which will be released only seven months before Eclipse, when Eclipse begins shooting, he will not be directing the third film. The film will be directed by David Slade.

Principal photography began August 17, 2009 in Vancouver and ended on October 29.

Plot
"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: mortal or vampire."
