'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' success turns eyes toward 'Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn'
Without a doubt, The Twilight Saga: New Moon's uber-successful run in the movie marketplace has turned otherwise unknowing heads, appeased the wishes of Twilight series fans, and left everyone looking forward to the next installment(s) of the Twilight series films.
Of course, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse wrapped up before New Moon hit the first theater, but The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (be it one part or two) has yet to even reach the official greenlight stage - though the studio has admitted looking forward to making the film(s).
Eclipse, which is directed by David Slade, is due in theaters on June 30, 2010, and it's already a hot-button point of discussion with some of the cast.
For instance, Kristen Stewart revealed what she most looks forward to seeing expounded upon with this, the third installment in the rightly-named "saga." "I'm looking forward to seeing the love triangle actually becoming a problem," she said. "We sort of innocently touch on it in New Moon, but it actually becomes something that is very, very real." Robert Pattinson, quite suitably, looks forward to Bella's "treachery" in Eclipse - make what you will of that.
Of course, Ashley Greene had a few juicy details to share about what to expect from her character (Alice Cullen) as well. (here was a video...but I don't know how to post it...so here is a link to check it http://www.examiner.com/x-4908-Twilight-Examiner~y2009m11d27-The-Twilight-Saga-New-Moon-success-turns-eyes-toward-Eclipse-and-Breaking-Dawn)
Seems, then, that Eclipse will continue the recent acclaimed tradition of earnest punning and reference (if not overt display) to the characters' special gifts . . . delightful.
Once Eclipse has hit theaters (and, assuming the Twilight box office tradition continues - or, perhaps, is furthered by its temporal location in the year's release schedule), the only thing left for the Twilight film series will be Breaking Dawn (unless Stephenie Meyer authors a new installment to the series and agrees to its film transformation).
Assuming Michael Welch is right and the film's greenlit status inevitable, there are still many, many announcements to coincide with that confirmation. For instance, will Melissa Rosenberg come back around for the final Twilight saga leg? Will Breaking Dawn be one film or two? Who will direct it? There are, of course, others . . .
For now, the attention lies with The Twilight Saga: New Moon, but excited eyes are certainly beginning to peer into the (very near) future of this franchise, and as the cast and crew begin to release tidbits such as these, the anticipation will only mount once again.
