Summit continues in their schedule to crank out the Twilight saga films. They've picked a director for Eclipse, the third book in the series -- David Slade who has directed the edgy Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night. He is an upcoming British director and is also attached to adapt Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.
"I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing 'Eclipse,' " said Meyer. "He's a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise. From the beginning, we've been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the 'Twilight' saga, and I'm so happy that 'Eclipse' will be carrying on with that tradition."
Slade has a reputation among the fanboys, and may bring in more male viewers to this installment. Cinematical reacts:
Might not be the first guy to pop in your head, but he's obviously capable of delivering believable vampires (and Josh Hartnett as someone you want to root for in a film -- big points for that) while upping the tension, and he's definitely the kind of guy who could bring more male moviegoers to the franchise. Sh*t, I kinda want to see the film now.
I haven't seen any of Slade's work, but I remember the buzz about Hard Candy, the film Ellen Page did before Juno with Patrick Wilson where she turns the tables on a pedophile. It was said to be very intense.
