From Catherine Hardwicke to Chris Weitz to David Slade, "Eclipse" (like "New Moon") will also have a new director. David Slade - who directed "30 Days of Night" and "Hard Candy" - will bring "Eclipse" for us on June 30, 2010. Because of its release date, "Eclipse" will have to battle other summer releases, such as "Iron Man 2".
Stephenie Meyer exclaimed, "I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing 'ECLIPSE'. 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."
Summit Entertainment's President of Production, Erik Feig, explains the choice: "Stephenie Meyer's 'ECLIPSE' is a muscular, rich, vivid book and we at Summit looked long and hard for a director who could do it justice. We believe we have found that talent in David Slade, a director who has been able to create complex, visually arresting worlds. We cannot wait to see the 'ECLIPSE' he brings to life and brings to the fans eagerly awaiting its arrival in summer of 2010."
