Director David Slade talks 'Eclipse'

FEARnet have a brief interview with David Slade, in which he talks about Eclipse -

"What will differ about Slade’s Twilight?

“I don’t really know. We haven’t even started shooting yet.”

While the director says he has a basic idea of what he wants to do with it, he is more concerned with telling a good story than being “different.”

“It is darker, and there is a lot more action than the previous two,” he admits. “The third book is from Bella’s point of view, but the film will be more objective.”

And just how will he do that? “We are going to focus on the origin stories of several characters, like Jacob, and show how Bella will decide between Edward and Jacob.”

David didn’t read the books until the studio was interested in bringing him in – then he did his homework.

“It was tough for a middle-aged man to get into,” he admits, “since they are written for 15-year-old girls. But once I got past that, I found them to be quite good books, and a great story.”

He is especially excited about the great script from Dexter writer/producer Melissa Rosenberg. Right now, they are still in preproduction, with plans to start shooting later in the year."
