David Slade Talks ‘Eclipse’, how he got the job of directing Eclipse and ‘Hard Candy’ (video)

Robert Pattinson Is 'Extraordinarily Attractive,' Admits Reese Witherspoon

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

"The only thing I can compare it to is when Leo was in 'Titanic,' " she told MTV News while promoting her upcoming movie "How Do You Know." "It was that kind of fervor about a person. The women lining up outside the set — it was just unbelievable — till 5 o'clock in the morning waiting to just glimpse him."

The Tennessee set of "Water for Elephants" was basically no different than what happens when the "Twilight" vamp goes anywhere. As director Francis Lawrence told us in the fall, "[E]very day there would be, like, 50 people [staked out] ... . [T]here would be people camped out in the hallways of our hotel. All day, all night long, it didn't matter. People were there to try to catch a glimpse."

Witherspoon, of course, got an up-close-and-personal glimpse of RPattz, and she was happy to report back to us: "He is extraordinarily attractive. I'm not gonna lie," she said.

"Robert is such a great guy from a great family," she explained. "That's the thing that's so funny. He's not really this bad boy; he's just a great guy and really worked hard on 'Water for Elephants.' He really worked long hours, long days. He looks totally different in the movie."

David Slade told at Sundance, Kristen Stewart stressed during Twilight Eclipse shoot: 'There were tears'

When David Slade appeared on the pop-culture dais in the wake of his breakout Sundance smash, Hard Candy, featuring a plucky would-be victim in Ellen Page, the last thing you'd expect to learn about the man was his deep conviction in the concept of romantic love.

A story that hung on the threat of sexual assault involving a minor, Hard Candy seemed like such a testament to the baser elements of the human animal that its director assumed the shape of a next-gen Neil Labute — a creator capable of balancing absolute contempt for the human species with an arid sense of humour.

It's a dicey endeavour, but one Slade pulled off with a dramatically elegant sleight of hand.

Slade reached into the same bag of tricks when he called the shots on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which hits DVD and Blu-ray on Saturday.

The story of a young woman named Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who falls madly in love with a vampire stud named Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), only to be hounded by a lovesick werewolf named Jacob (Taylor Lautner), the whole Twilight Saga deals with a young woman at risk.

In this case, Stewart is at risk of losing her mortal soul. In Hard Candy, Page was at risk of losing a similar chunk of self, as well as — we suspected — her life.

"Hard Candy was definitely a different beast in some ways, because it was a contained, two-person drama, with Ellen Page raging away in a brilliant performance," says Slade.

"Eclipse was a lot broader . . . but it's still a character-based drama. That's what I really enjoyed about it," he says. "I think it's also a much more adult film than (the previous two), because the characters are becoming more mature. There's loads of fun stuff to play with, and because we treated it as a drama, the transformation (of character) takes place."

The substance was always bloody and meaty, but Slade says the pragmatics of the whole ordeal were anything but easy. He feels exhausted just thinking about the experience.

"It was a 50-day shoot, with many 16-hour days," he says.

To make things even more challenging, the cast was losing itself in its own Twilight cosmos. All actors have to surrender to their roles and inhabit their characters to some degree for the duration of production, so Slade was pleased his cast was taking the whole project seriously and sincerely.

Everyone was committed, he says.

"Kristen, in particular, was very tough on herself."

Slade says because Stewart didn't pull from her own life and her own person to play Bella Swan, she found it personally demanding to find Bella's truth.

"She would say, 'I don't know who Bella is to me.' In a lot of ways, I think she felt Bella was the antithesis to her, which presented a lot of challenges for Kristen. . . . She would beat herself up about it, because she wants to be there. She never wants to leave a scene undone.

"There were tears," says Slade.

"But you move on and you keep going. . . . Even in rehearsals with Rob (Pattinson), there was a similar spiralling that would happen."

Actors are people. They get insecure, and any human being facing the weight of expectation surrounding Twilight would have to buckle, if only a little. To offset as much of the thespian obsessing as possible, Slade says he's learned the value of preparation.

He says he rehearses his actors as much as possible, so they're comfortable with the material and their characters, and he gets to focus on the minutiae of performance without the intrusive presence of a camera.

"You're always looking to get the emotional truth from the performance," he says. And with Twilight, that emotional truth is nothing less than the blood-red heart of romantic love — which pounds away in Slade's heart, even though, at 41, he's supposed to be a member of a more cynical generation.

"I do believe in romantic love. How could you not, if you're lucky enough to find it? It seems like we live in a much more sarcastic . . . cynical culture, and I don't like to use the c-word. There's the idea out there maybe that (romantic love) isn't cool. But true love is a wonderful thing."

Slade says romantic love is the gooey hook on the Twilight narrative, but after reading Stephenie Myers' books, he also feels they address a lot more issues than mere vampires and teen romance.

"It's a love story that's dealing with the problems of the last century," he says. "And I got the best book. We had the epic battle, the action . . . the whole thing."

Slade says he's leaving at a high point in the story, and that's one of the other big lessons he's learned along the way: Preparation will save your bacon, but timing is what makes it tasty.

He'd love to share what he's doing next, Slade says, but he can't. At the very least, we can rest assured it will be interesting, well-prepared and approached with an open heart and a vampire-proof carotid.

Director David Slade Tries To Explain Why 'Eclipse' Is Best 'Twilight' Movie So Far

"I think it had the best story," he said. "And the most action."


That's all well and good, David, but we think you had a little something to do with it, too.


"You know, I did my best," he said with a chuckle. "The director of the film is always the harshest critic of the film. What you do is spend two years or a-year-and-a-half or whatever it is intensely, emotionally working on something. You watch it a thousand times. What you're doing is assembling it together, and then there's a bunch of cracks, and you're closing the gaps in those cracks. And then, what happens in the end, you go, and you start noticing those cracks again. It's the same with any film."


Yes, David clearly is his own worst critic, but he did admit the film had a lot going for it.


"I certainly do believe we had one of the best stories," he said. "'Eclipse' is the fans' favorite book, behind 'Twilight,' the first book. There's so much in terms of backstory and understanding characters. It has a very clear progression to Bella's transformation; not physically but emotionally. That's something that is important. That, along with the fact that we had so many fun backstory moments. We had a Western. We had a 16th century historical piece. We had a '30s period piece, as well as the rest of it."

Eclipse DVD Extra Features: Sneak Peek With David Slade (video)

'Eclipse' DVD Countdown: Edward And Jacob Are The No. 5 Reason

As you all know, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" DVD is coming out this Friday at midnight finally, and we couldn't be more excited. To help get us hyped for all those extra hours we get to spend with Bella, Edward and Jacob—now in the privacy of our own homes—we've decided to post a different reason we're excited for the release every day this week. We're kicking it off with the reason we love "Eclipse" the most of all the "Twilight Saga" flicks: more Edward and Jacob.

If "Twilight" was all about introducing us to our love for Edward Cullen, and "New Moon"'s main purpose was to make us question whether we should instead be falling for Jacob Black, then "Eclipse" is here to let us know that, unlike Bella, we can have them both. And Summit Entertainment is making it easy for us by having "Edward Fast-Forward" and "Jacob Fast-Forward" features on the DVD that allow us to—you guessed it—fast-forward to our favorite Edward and Jacob scenes.

Our favorite Edward scene is definitely the sleepover. How could it not be? We could watch that make out session and the leg hitch on repeat for hours. I mean, Bella's face is kind of covered, so it makes it easier to pretend that we're the girl Edward is macking on. That meadow scene is a close second though, made all the more special by the fact that it's the first scene we were teased with so long ago.

Fortunately for all you Jacob lovers out there, Edward isn't the only one getting some quality Bella time. How could we forget that first kiss in La Push (and the intense confrontation afterward), or their last kiss up on the mountain? That's plenty to swoon over by itself. Yet, in proper werewolf fashion, Jacob is shirtless for a majority of this film, often with his fellow wolves half-naked surrounding him, which gets us swooning even more. We definitely have a soft spot for pretty boys.

I think most "Twilight" fans would agree, though, that one of the best scenes in "Eclipse" includes both Edward and Jacob, so it should make it to all of our jump-to lists. I'm of course referring to "the tent scene," also known as "the hottest night on the coldest mountain ever." That's a sexually tense moment I'm sure we're all grateful we'll have on DVD.

Eclipse Closes Its Box Office Run at $300,531,751 Domestic Market

According to Box Office Mojo, Eclipse has finally ended its run in theaters with a total of $300,531,751 in the domestic market. International sales still continue, and there are some countries where it has not even opened yet!

Eclipse was the first women-driven film to hit the elusive 300K mark since Titanic back in 1997. It’s a mark that very few films ever hit, let alone a film that is predominantly driven by female dollars.

The $300,531,751 will easily put Eclipse into the top 10 films of the year, and in all likelihood it will stay in the top five.  right now it is in fourth position behind Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, and Iron Man 2. The only film that opens between now and the end of the year that is likely to overtake the Eclipse tally is the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The summer release was an interesting experiment since the other films opened at Thanksgiving time.  Eclipse certainly benefited by a summer of lackluster films that had lots of PR, but in the end didn’t live up to the hype. In short it lucked out by not having lots of competing films. Rather than see a movie that got panned, people went back and saw Eclipse again. Granted, folks tended to see it more than once anyway, but the movie choices or lack thereof this summer certainly helped.

To summarize the previous films box office totals:

Twilight: number 7 film of the year in 2008    $192,769,854

New Moon: number 4 film of the year in 2009 $296,623,634

One day release of back-to-back Twilight and New Moon: number 131 of the year $2,385,237

Eclipse movie soundtrack “Heavy In Your Arms”- Florence + The Machine Music Video

Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be out in DVD/Blu-Ray on December 4.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which hits shelves December 4, 2010 packed with special features, commentaries, and more on DVD and Blu-ray.

In fact, the list of extra material was so tantalizing that it momentarily distracted from reading the Stephenie Meyer-endorsed The Hunger Games, and we started thinking… what do we really want to see in the Eclipse bonus features?

The Gore We Were Promised, Kinda

Eclipse director David Slade, who made all sorts of delicious red stuff spill in the snow in his other vampire flick 30 Days of Night, kept things pretty PG-13 for the Twilight crowd. But back in June, he told us that at least one of his vampire battle decapitation shots was too hot for the MPAA's sensibilities. ("We had this one part in the battle where Emmett just tears someone's face off," he said. "The face kind of breaks off into pieces of crystal that shatter.")

Will we get to see extended, unused footage of Emmett ripping some vampire faces off on Blu-ray, even if they shatter bloodlessly like pieces of marble? Let's hope.

 What Rosalie Did to Those Horrible Old-Timey Men

In Eclipse, stiff old Rosalie (Nikki Reed) finally got to loosen up a bit, telling her origin story in flashback: After being raped by a gang of men and left for dead, she returns newly vampirized like a bride from hell to wreak bloody revenge on her attackers. In other words, it's Rosalie's I Spit On Your Grave moment -- and we'd like nothing more than to see a deleted scene of her tearing that cad Jack Huston limb from limb.

Victoria and Riley's Vampire Love Nest

There were no indications that they'd shot such a scene for the film, but this being our fantasy list of Eclipse bonus material, we wish we could get a peek at Victoria's hidden love nest as described in the spin-off novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. (Read our book review here.) This is where Riley has his sexy rendezvous with Victoria and where he gets his orders to lead the newborns to the fight in the clearing, unaware that he's just a pawn in Victoria's game, and it's also where more than one unfortunate young bloodsucker meets their end.

(While we're at it, we'd LOVE to see more of Jodelle Ferland as Bree, the confused newborn given a second chance by Carlisle who meets her fate at the hands of the Volturi. Bree's first kill, her adventures with her ill-fated mate, Diego, even her last-act psychic exchange with Edward Cullen -- they're all fascinatingly drawn events in Meyer's supplemental novel that would be nice to see included in the comprehensive filmed version of Eclipse that, alas, only exists in our minds.)

Taylor Lautner in That Infamous Spandex Wolf Suit

Our fingers are crossed the hardest for a glimpse of Taylor Lautner in the gray spandex suit he wore on set to help co-star Kristen Stewart visualize Jacob in wolf form. Slade described the scene: "He came in and he put out his fist, and she kind of nuzzled his fist and stroked his hair." Somewhere in the Six-Part Making-of Documentary included on both the DVD and Blu-ray editions, there's got to be at least one shot. Forget those silly jean cut-offs. The fans demand Taylor in spandex!

Last But Not Least, We Want To See KStew and RPattz Confirming Their Love on the Record

Hey, don't judge. Who among us won't be listening hard to the Kristen Stewart-Robert Pattinson Eclipse commentary track for clues and dead giveaways or some public acknowledgement of their alleged off-screen relationship? Expect the same kind of awkward, random banter from these two that we got on the first Twilight release, in which they shared a commentary track with director Catherine Hardwicke -- especially when it comes to the fan-favorite "leg hitch" make-out scene, the tent scene, and KStew's hot and heavy lip-smacking scenes with both of her leading men.

For now, we'll have to wait and see if any of our Eclipse Blu-ray wishes come true… check out the announced list of extra features below and mark your shopping calendars for December 4, 2010...

Hillywood Releases 'Twilight' Eclipse Parody Teaser

Kellan Lutz talks about his role in Eclipse in Tribute Interview (video)

Tribute.com got a chance to sit down with the very sweet Kellan Lutz to talk a little bit more about his role in Eclipse. In the interview talked about wishing that Emmett’s back story could be shown on screen, eating lots of protein and working out.

The Final Numbers on Eclipse Box Office

Vampires and shape-shifting wolves are not immune from the law of summer flings: Even the hottest ones inevitably cool.

And so it has come to pass with Eclipse.

The sequel's Top 10 run at the weekend box office is all but assuredly done. So, how'd it do? What'd it outdo? And is the franchise on the rise?

Let's find out:

• With a $290.2 million domestic take, as of Wednesday, Eclipse is the third-biggest grosser of the summer, and the fourth biggest of the year. Worldwide, it's at about $650 million, which makes it the year's biggest 2-D movie so far, and third biggest overall, behind the 3-D-assisted Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3.

In short, Eclipse was, as expected, big.

"When you consider that the film cost under $70 million, it will probably, along with Toy Story 3, end up as one of the most profitable films of the year," Exhibitor Relations' box office analyst Jeff Bock said in an email.

• Among Twilight movies, Eclipse is No. 1 domestically. So, so much for the argument that Team Edward loyalists turned on the movie over alleged Team Jacob favoritism…

Um, right?

Well, as some aggrieved fang fans may point out, New Moon made a lot of money—more than $20 million—after it fell out of the Top 10. This means that while Eclipse holds a substantial lead over its predecessor now, the race for No. 1 may tighten when all is said and counted. Worldwide, New Moon is the one with the substantial lead over Eclipse.

So, did Eclipse eclipse—or get eclipsed?

Summit exec Richie Fay said Friday he expects Eclipse to keep the edge domestically. Worldwide, he was less sure, saying foreign-exchange rates may cut into Eclipse's bottom line, although the film's overseas attendance has been virtually even with that of New Moon's.

"We're not really looking at franchise fatigue," Fay said. "I think our audience has remained relatively loyal. It might have [even] expanded a little bit."

Eclipse Actor Kiowa Gordon says he owes his career to 'Twilight'

Kiowa Gordon says the "Twilight" phenomenon has been "very good" to him.

In fact, according to the 20-year-old actor, "I owe my entire career, at least to this point, to 'Twilight,' and I'm very grateful for that."

In the movies, which are based on author Stephenie Meyer's best-selling fantasy romance novels, Gordon plays Embry Call, one of the friends, or "wingmen," of Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

Gordon, a newcomer at the time, got the much-coveted part due in part to a lucky break. He is a member of Meyer's LDS Church ward in Arizona, and "when she told me they were casting for the movie, I jumped at the opportunity."

And he said he has enjoyed the chance to play a "strong" Native American character in the film. Gordon is a member of Arizona's Hualapai tribe, which is probably best known for maintaining and operating the Grand Canyon's "Skywalk."

"I love being able to honor my roots and my heritage, especially in movies that are so hugely popular," he said by telephone from Los Angeles.

Gordon said his mother and manager, Camille Nighthorse, has been responsible for his cultural upbringing.
Story continues below

And that will certainly be on Gordon's mind when he appears in Utah this weekend. He is one of the celebrity participants in the Native American Celebration Golf Tournament in Lehi July 23. And on July 24, Pioneer Day, he's appearing at the 16th annual Intertribal Competition Powwow in Liberty Park.

Gordon will be signing autographs in the afternoon and will be joined by other Native American entertainers, including his mother and actor/stuntman Patrick Shining Elk.

Gordon said he is "looking forward to enjoying the traditional music and entertainment."

In fact, he said he is a fan of many different music styles. He describes his band, Touche, as "progressive metal."

He and Touche got to perform at the red-carpet premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" earlier this year.

"It was fun to play our music in front of that many people," he recalled, adding that "my co-stars were even dancing on stage while we played."

Gordon and Touche were originally set to be part of this year's Vans Warped Tour bill, but "unfortunately things got too crazy and we had to drop out."

Those "things" include Gordon's busy movie career. While he's here, Gordon is expected to sign on for a feature-film project with writer/director Eric Hendershot ("Down and Derby"), titled "Phantom Justice."

He's also about to start work on "Into the Darkness," a horror film that also features Mischa Barton and John Schneider.

Then, of course, there's "Breaking Dawn," the final part of Meyer's "Twilight Saga." The fourth book will be split into two movies, which will be made under the guidance of director Bill Condon ("Dreamgirls").

To save costs, Condon and officials at Summit Entertainment decided to shoot the films back to back.

"It's going to take us several months to shoot the whole thing. It's going to be absolutely crazy," Gordon said. "We'll take a break early next year and then have to dive right back in."

Gordon said he is hoping his character will get more to do in these two films, though he knows "obviously, people aren't just going to these movies to see me, unless they're my friends or family.

"It doesn't help that my character changes shape when he goes into action, so I don't really get to do as much physically as I would like."

Still, Gordon said he is looking forward to having a career after "Twilight."

"It will be nice to do something else besides these movies," he said. "But I am a little scared at the same time. Hopefully my newfound fans will follow me along to whatever else it is I do after that."

BBC Switch: How to Become a Werewolf Skit Featuring Alex Meraz and Booboo Stewart

Kirsten Prout talks on her encounter with Jackson Rathbone in Eclipse

INSPIRE: You’ve been in numerous television series (including Kyle XY) already. How was it different stepping into a movie (Eclipse), especially one so popular worldwide?

KIRSTEN: It was definitely intimidating stepping onto a set with an established cast, all of whom are tremendously talented. On our show (Kyle XY) we had such a dynamic, so I knew what I was in for as the new kid. That being said, everyone was so welcoming and it was an absolute pleasure working on Eclipse.

I: Did you have to contemplate on the idea of being in the third installment of the series? Have you read the books?
K: To be completely honest, I wasn’t used to the idea of such a small character, but when I saw that it was for Eclipse, I realized it was such a tremendous opportunity and just being involved is enough. It has really opened doors for me and I am so grateful for the experience.

I: Although your role was brief, you were able to meet Jackson Rathbone. How was your first encounter of him like?
K: He was so wonderful, an absolute southern gentleman. Sitting down at lunch alone, my first day meeting anyone, I was thrilled when he just plopped down next to me and spent the afternoon getting to know me. He’s so talented, and such a dedicated artist. Jackson is an extremely friendly and authentic person.

I: Were expectations met when filming among the “Twilight” cast and crew? Did you meet all the cast members?
K: I didn’t have a lot of expectations other than the cast being extremely closed off and the set absolutely swamped with paparazzi. In terms of the cast, I was completely wrong. They are such wonderful inclusive people. When it comes to paparazzi, nothing prepares you for being hunted by cameras. Definitely a strange feeling.

I: Was there anything new you learned about some people you didn’t know of before? (Regarding cast members of Eclipse)
K: Jackson’s passion for music came as a real surprise. I knew he was in a band, but hearing him talk about his background, schooling, and absolute dedication was so refreshing.

I: Among all projects you’ve worked on – which has been the most memorable and fulfilling?
K: To be completely honest, Elektra was something I will always be grateful for. Jennifer [Garner] made the experience unforgettable, the stunt training was unbelievable, and my directors, producers, and crew were so supportive. I think the aftermath of Twilight has also been an eye opener in terms of figuring out the dynamics of this industry.

I: Now, you’re getting a lot of buzz because of Eclipse. Are you ready to take on more the attention you’ll be receiving throughout this year?
K: Absolutely. I have been in this industry since I was ten years old and I have had more than enough time to prepare for anything that comes my way. I love what I do and I will always be excited to take on new projects.

I: You’re in a new, currently untitled MTV movie, the sequel to “My Super Sweet 16.” Could you tell us about the plot is and who you play?
K: I am so excited about the film and am currently shooting in Atlanta. It’s the sequel to the slasher thriller My Super Psycho Sweet 16, and I definitely get to delve into a darker character, Alex Bell. All I can say is that if there is a third film, my character hands will get increasingly bloody. It’s such a tremendously talented cast, and to have a lead role that is so wonderfully written really gives me something to sink my teeth into. I love working for MTV, Jacob Gentry is such a talented director, and I sincerely believe that this film is going to make audiences fall in love with its characters as much as it did last October!

I: What kind of message will the movie convey to its potential audiences?
K: My character is extremely fragile. She’s someone who has grown up without friends, never being able to find a place where she’s comfortable. When Skye, my half sister, joins our family, she thinks she has finally found someone to relate to. But when Alex is met with a horrific tragedy, her precarious mental state is threatened to the absolute breaking point.

I: How do you think viewers will react to the film?
K: I know they will fall in love will all of the original characters all over again, and hope that this film will be met with the same enthusiasm. It’s dramatic, the deaths are just as creative as in the first movie if not more shocking, and it definitely has the right dash of playfulness to make it an absolutely wonderful viewing experience. Think Final Destination with an indie heart.

I: Hollywood is a complicated industry. What do you enjoy about being a part of it and what do you dislike about it?
K: This industry is not fair. Period. It never has been, and never will be. I know so many actors who are tremendously talented that have never seen the success as people with half their potential. It really takes an infinite well of hope, determination, and optimism that’s definitely hard to maintain. Sometimes you watch people around you get that fluke role that skyrockets them. All I try to remember is everyone’s journey is different, and I fight the fight to do what I love. Staying true to yourself and your own craft is the most important part.

I: What are some obstacles you’ve faced in this business?
K: It’s definitely a different experience as a child. I was viciously bullied in high school for having an unconventional life. I think it’s very easy to grow up fast, but luckily my family supported me enough to make me realize that if you love what you do, nothing else matters.

I: What do you hope for yourself in the future? Who would you care to
work with?
K: Everyone gives the conventional answer of working with the greats. I really crave experiences that are intensive and challenging. I’m always hope for strong scripts that allow you to submerge yourself in the journey. I look for great characters and love working with actors who are present – Viggo Mortensen would be a dream to work with.

I: As a working actress, is it difficult to maintain a low-profile
personal life?
K: I think that if you are selective about the company you keep and respectful to others, it’s easier to just live like a normal nineteen year old. Crazy behavior attracts crazy rumors. Just having fun and not going overboard with people you love and trust is attainable if you go about things the right way. Look at Natalie Portman. She has been quoted saying that she lived a normal life due to the kinds of people who surrounded her and supported her.

I: What made you want to leap into entertainment? What stimulated your
love for this career?
K: I think my imagination was cultivated in loneliness. I didn’t have many friends and escaped on movie sets. I am the most comfortable while working, I love having a relationship with the characters I play.

Twilight Costume Designer Tish Monaghan on dressing the Twilight stars on Eclipse

SELF: How is Bella's look in Eclipse different from in New Moon?
Tish Monaghan: Well, it's funny because the movies come out a year apart, but onscreen, only a week has passed. With Bella [Kristen Stewart], she's a little more settled in public and in her relationship with Edward. And so, at the beginning, I wanted to show a little bit more of a relation to the Cullens' colors, a cool palate, and steer away from the warm earth tones that were more evident in New Moon.

There are quite a few romantic scenes, so I wanted to show a softer side of Bella without going too girly or feminine, because that's just not at the heart of who she is. She's a very practical person, so I tried to soften her up a bit with color. We open up with her wearing one of her signature plaid shirts, but it's in a softer, lilac fabric and looks very pretty in a field of flowers. We tried to retain the integrity of her character, but just lighten her up a little.

And how about for the boys?
In New Moon, Edward [Robert Pattinson] is essentially in a suit throughout most of the movie because he almost gets frozen in time on the night of Bella's birthday party, when the tragedy occurs. So he sports that look of a restrained, contained individual throughout the film. I wanted to ensure that in Eclipse, we brought him back into the world of a grade twelve student. I wanted to make a point of getting him back to t-shirts and jeans and sneakers, a more casual look while maintaining the Cullen's flavor, which is always a little more styled - I mean, he's never going to look too rough and ready. We wanted to get him out of the gentlemanly quotient and into clothes that look good and fit nicely, but seem a little more youthful. For Jacob, the only thing I changed was I put him into some cutoff cargo shorts instead of cutoff jeans. We ended up using a lot of the same t-shirts because they fit him so well.

It must be fun to dress Ashley Greene as Alice, the fashionista of the family.
It's fun to go out and look for the cutest, girliest and edgiest things you can find. We bought her a really great Marc Jacobs' dress that she wears in an opening scene at school, and a really adorable fitted little A-line coat that we got from Anthropologie. It's just nice to find these little feminine lines with a lot of detail and a cute little belt, great tuft detail, little bow at the back. I know she really particularly loved that one, a little taupe plaid.

Bella, on the other hand, at Bella's graduation party, she wears jeans and a button-up shirt and everyone else is dressed to the nines. Bella dresses for practicality. We got a really nice dark-green hoodie by Voeu T Laxe at Fred Segal - that would be her signature piece for Eclipse. She's also got this great grey American Eagle jacket that she wears for most of the final sequence of the movie when she's climbing up into the mountains and a Lole burgundy shell with a nice little female shape.


Where are you usually shopping for the characters?
Well, we had to be able to buy in quantity - especially with stunt doubles. The characters would have to have six of each outfit for themselves, and then four or five for their stunt doubles. So we weren't spending tons of money on each outfit! We went to G-star, Club Monaco, Armani Exchange, H&M, Banana Republic. All the brands you see in the movie are out there in the public domain.

Eclipse has a lot more action than the first two movies - how did you dress the characters for their fight scenes?
With all of the workout wear, we wanted to create a look that was slick, sleep and functional. They could look good and make a visual statement, but be ready for action. Emmett had a lot of action, so I wanted him to stand out more than others. I gave him an Old Navy hoodie with a beautiful tone to it. I didn't buy it at Old Navy because it was cheap, I bought it because it was a creamy off-white reminiscent of the color he wore in the original Twilight. When everyone came in for their fittings, we would ensure that they could lift their legs high enough when they were running - sometimes we would get them a larger pair of jeans for certain sequences just so that they did have that movement. You don't have to stick to just workout wear - we would end up getting a cute hoodie at H&M. I just wanted to give the characters something the audience could interpret as "OK, this is what the Cullens wear when they're out exercising." But, again, it's form-fitting clothing they can move in.

cullenfamily.jpg

Bonus: Find out how the Twilight stars stay in shape on set!

What brands were you using as workout gear?
We used Mountain Engineering Co-op, a Canadian outdoor company, North Face, Nike, the Gap. We would bring them everything for all kinds of scenes - J Brand, 7 for All Mankind, etc. - and it ended up being Gap that they'd love and go buy for themselves. I didn't want everybody in jeans, but I certainly wasn't going to put them in sweatpants or anything like that. And then when we moved to the very final sequence where they have the fight with the newborn vampires, I wanted to make it look like they were really dressed for action and I put them in very very dark colors, like black or almost black.

Eclipse also uses flashbacks to give us some background on the histories of the Cullens and the Quileute indians.
These movies are awesome for a costume designer because we were able to go back into three different time periods, as well as the contemporary world. We had Jasper, who used to be a Confederate soldier - he was one of my favorite characters to dress for this sequence because I love research. We found a source that made Confederate uniforms for reenactments, and we probably put about forty hours of over-dying and aging into it so he looked real and presentable when he's riding across the rolling hills, kicking up dust on his horse.

And with Rosalie, who has a flashback to the 1930s, we were able to use some pieces that were original '30s costumes. Then we had to make a wedding dress for her that had a 30-foot train and long, billowing veil for the scene when she's coming down this long hotel hallway with her mind set on attacking her fiancé who had actually almost killed her. It's a fantastic scene, because there's this transition from her being this sweet 18-year-old woman who's madly in love with her elegant, wealthy - and, unbeknownst to her, evil - fiance.

The most exciting part, to me, was recreating the Quileute indians - we would read diaries and shipping logs from Spanish explorers who sailed along the Pacific coast, we would study paintings from the era by traveler Paul Kane, and we studied original garments at the Museum of Archeology in Canada. We had to make, I would say, sixty costumes, including a costume for Bella, because she transitions into the role of one of the Quileute characters, the chief's wife. We worked on those garments for probably about six weeks with a team of about eight people: we made jewelry from abalone shells, we interwove different colored pieces of wool blankets into white blankets, we made shoes for them out of rough cord, we made our main garments out of groundcover which is incredibly itchy for the people wearing it, and we made a cedar cape - big rough wraps of twine and hemp that ended up looking, you know, in the big brushes as if they were woven cedar. It was really a challenge, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out.

Buy Bella's (Kristen Stewart) retro sunglasses wore in Eclipse

When Eclipse premiered June 30, I knew Style Hunter would be inundated with questions about Bella, Edward and the rest of the Cullen clan’s clothing choices for months to come. But nothing from the film garnered as much as attention as the cat-eye sunglasses Bella wore while visiting her mom in Florida.

I went straight to source and spoke to Eclipse‘s costume designer Tish Monaghan, who revealed that these retro shades were actually just a pair of lower-priced knock-offs that Kristen Stewart picked out of 100 different options collected by props master Grant Swain.

To save you the hassle of trolling the streets for our own off-the-sidewalk pair, we’ve handpicked three similar style options that’ll help you copy Bella’s retro look:

* Proenza Schouler’s extended cat eye sunglasses ($290; lagarconne.com)
* Ray-Ban’s “Cats 1000″ sunglasses ($170; asos.com)
* Fred Flare’s “Bridget” sunglasses ($11; fredflare.com)

EW Ultimate Sexy Beast Poll: Kellan Lutz vs Cam Gigandet

EW.com’s Sexy Beasts summer showdown is upon us, and we’re pitting characters from X-Men, True Blood, and Twilight against their fellow franchise players. Cruel and bloody and with a total disregard for human decency?

CLICK HERE to VOTE!

Eclipse actor Jackson Rathbone in Nylon "Obviously, I'm going to star in Twilight the musical."

Does anyone call you by your real first name, Monroe?  I still go by Monroe when I am in trouble with the law.

Which is… often?  Very rarely; very rarely. I don’t get so much as a speeding ticket these days but I am a habitual parking violator.

I know M. Night Shyamalan is famous for his secrecy.  But what can you tell us about The Last Airbender?
Well I can say it is going to be an amazing action film; it’s got the most incredible CGI. We got ILM working on it, which is Industrial Lights and Magic, and it truly is magic, honestly, at the end of the day. We are shooting on the green screen, we have a character called Appa?  Which is a big bison kind of flying bear creature?  And that’s me, I’m a big flying bear creature.

Nice try.  Okay, no, but I get to ride it.

Not a real flying bear?   No, I rode a fuzzy saddle. It was about 15-20 feet off the ground.  It’s on this kind of rocking thing… They were moving it, and there is a big green screen behind you. Night’s yelling, “Okay, you’re flying through the air now!” You’re like, “Okay, I am flying through the air now.”  And oh yeah, I had to be flying through the air, and no, I wasn’t on any drugs.

Maybe there was good liquor on set?   I can hold my liquor! I’m from the South, come on now. You know, I love Jameson Whiskey, and I love Bud Light, I keep it pretty simple.  I was actually in a bar recently, and they only had three beers on tap, and it was Bud with lime on tap! I had to give the bar tender a little, you know, guff for that one. Are you kidding me? You don’t even have Bud Light on tap? You don’t even have Lonestar on tap? You only have Bud Light Lemon-Lime?!

I hope you lamented about your lime beer problems during your Last Airbender audition.  Oh, I didn’t have to audition.  I actually had my part delivered by an owl, followed by a list of magical school supplies… No, no, I did the normal auditioning process. Actually I had auditioned for M. Night’s The Happening before… then I met Night and we hit it off.

I heard in an M. Night movie, you don’t ever see the full script….  At the audition you only get the lines you’re gonna say, but  this movie in particular based off the Nickelodeon animated series, so it’s a departure from Night’s thrillers. It’s about finding the hero within against all odds, and it’s got some of the most incredible action sequences, with all of these characters being able to manipulate the elements and being able to throw fire and throw water to block it… However, my character only gets to throw a boomerang.  That’s not as rock n’ roll as being able to bend water.

So you can't bend water.  What else can’t you do?  Iron. You want to watch me iron, you’ll see how bad I am. I like my clothes wrinkled anyway, so it’s fine. But one of my band mates taught me a trick; his name is Lawrence Abrams and he’s a jazz musician; he’s about 56 years old. He taught me the old put it on a coat hanger and put it in the shower and let it steam up a bit. First time I did it though, I put it in the shower, and that was wrong. You don’t put it in the shower because it gets wet.  See?  I learned.

You’re an actor with a band, 100 Monkeys.  Do you think you’ll do anything to combine those two passions?  Obviously, I’m going to star in Twilight the musical.  The scary thing is, I bet they’re totally making one, like, right now!

'Eclipse' Star Jackson Rathbone Has A Message For All The Twi-Moms Out There (Video)

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Chaske Spencer's Message About Battling His Addiction and Encourages Others How To Deal With It.

The Eclipse actor Chaske Spencer answers through his official website the spreading rumours about being gone from Rehab because of addiction and the allegation that Chaske was an addict who only got clean in a hurry so he could function on the New Moon set.

“Personal Message from Chaske Spencer Setting the Record Straight

To all the wonderful, incredibly loyal fans:

For those of you that read that I was in rehab, I wanted to make sure you heard the truth from me directly. Yes it is true, that I was in rehab, however it was over 19 months ago, long before NEW MOON was even on my radar. It was a pivotal time in my life where I was lucky enough to have supportive friends and family to help me get healthy. I am grateful that I have been clean and sober now for 19 months and cannot imagine my life if I had continued using drugs and alcohol. Almost everything else that was written about this is blatantly false and we are exploring our legal options. That was my past, and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to create a new future for myself. I encourage anyone who is in a similar place to seek support from their friends and family and know that without them, I would not have had the chance to be where I am now.

I want to thank all of you for the support you have shown, and continue to show. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Chaske “

Roberts Pattinson talks about Bel Ami, Water for Elephants, and to play Kurt Cobain in the Nirvana movie?

Have your mates ever called you Edward by mistake?People have called me Edward – not family, that would be weird! My mates might have done it to rib me. They don’t really know about Twilight, but some of them found out about this R-Pattz thing, so now one of them always calls me R-Pattz, which he thinks is hilarious.

Edward can read thoughts. If we could hear your thoughts, what would they sound like?Complete silence, dust blowing in the wind. Or maybe just like white noise…

What aspects of Edward do you most identify with?It’s changed a bit in this film. In the first two, I guess there was his feeling that you can’t relate to anyone, or no one can relate to you. I was like, ’I never want to talk to anyone’. I used to feel like that when I was younger. I’ve grown up now.

Are you a traditionalist, like Edward?It is quite pronounced in the movie, and I respect that, but when I work on other films, I want to play really amoral characters. I don’t feel like I have to stand by his values, but I respect them. I guess courtship is a good thing, but only if it’s pleasurable. Some people meet each other in a bar and sleep with each other that night, then stay with each other for the rest of their lives. Or they could stay with each other and never get married. It just doesn’t make any difference.

You definitely play an amoral character in your next film, Bel Ami.Yes. There’s something fun about Bel Ami, going from Edward to some guy who pretty much abuses women to get money out of them. Edward so wouldn’t approve – and I thought that was a funny irony. In Bel Ami all the women my character screws over are all attracted to him to begin with, so he starts having affairs with them and destroys their lives.

You are much less intense than Edward, clearly…I don’t know, I guess in a lot of ways. I think the main thing is he’s very extreme in his way of thinking, and I’m not like that. I don’t think in such absolutes, like ’I can’t be with this girlfriend, I’m going to kill myself!’ It’s quite a teenage thing.

Can you go out anywhere without being mobbed?In LA, sometimes I can. I wish I still had the beard I wore for Bel Ami. It was a good disguise. But LA is definitely harder than London, although London’s changed recently. The good thing about Britain in that respect is that people are often too embarrassed to come and say stuff. They’re embarrassed to have even seen you. I used to go into the same HMV shop all the time and they had New Moon posters everywhere, and I was worried I’d get stalked, but the guys at the counter would not even look at me, even though there were posters everywhere.

How hard is it to dodge the paps in London?I can’t believe I was photographed recently going to buy underpants with my best friend in Marks & Spencer. They were 5ft away – we were going to have this nice little day, and they photographed me buying underpants!

So you can laugh it off?Yeah, the only time things matter is when people start calling my family for stories. That gets in the way. 99 per cent of stuff is just made up. The thing is, the more stuff is reported, the more it starts to affect your career. If you’re constantly in gossip magazines people think, ’He’s not a proper actor, he’s just a gossip person.’

Do you want to step out of the limelight?I want to produce a film. It would be so satisfying to turn up to work and not have to go into costume or make-up. You stand behind the monitor and don’t even have the responsibility of the director.

You recently said you think you might be dead by 30. What was that about?I was talking about luck running out. When I was doing interviews for Harry Potter, I was thinking, ’I don’t want this to be all the luck in my life.’ So now I’m getting ridiculously lucky and I wonder if I might suffer some punishment at the hands of the universe and be dead by the time I’m 30. I like to believe in fate, so I’m not responsible for anything!

You’re working with animals on Water For Elephants. How’s that?Almost every day I’m working with an exotic animal; there are scenes where I’m leading buffalo and elephants into cages. It’s insane, like I got bitten on the arm by a lion with no teeth. They were like, ’It’s fine, he does it all the time.’ And I was like, ’Erm, OK…’ But they had to get him to do it harder, because he was being so gentle and just licking my arm.

Is it true you’re going to play Kurt Cobain in the Nirvana movie?Sometimes these things just appear. I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed. And you see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying ’What the f*ck! He’s totally wrong for it’, and I’m like, ’I f*cking said no, you d*ck!’ I didn’t get offered it. For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him!’ It’s ridiculous.

DID YOU KNOW?Rob hired Lady GaGa’s trainer to get in shape for the film. We still don’t think he’s as buff as Taylor, but he’s got a lovely (Poker) Face.
