Twilight Producer Wyck Godfrey Talks About Eclipse and Breaking Dawn

The Twilight Saga has had several different directors and producers on the project but only screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and producer Wyck Godfrey has remained among the production crew of the film series. In an interview, Rosenberg has just recently said that she has an idea on what parts will be shown on the first half of Breaking Dawn after the confirmation that it will be split into movies. Godfrey later talked about his thoughts on Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

He revealed several reasons why he thought that David Slade was the best choice to direct Eclipse. He said that he honestly loved Hard Candy, and after he saw the movie, which was directed by Slade, he sent him everything he had. He also loved the performances of the cast of movie. It starred Patrick Wilson (Little Children, Watchmen), and Ellen Page (Juno). He also adored the filmmaking and how he kept one small house, and sometimes a tiny room seems alive, tense and exciting in the whole movie. He also got to see 30 Days of Night, a horror vampire movie which was also directed by Slade in 2007. He liked the genre elements of the film and how Slade had a real vision what that world was like. He thought that the director’s “ability to tell a story and elicit amazing performances in Hard Candy and to create a world in 30 Days of Night” were a perfect combination and exactly the qualities they were looking for. Plus, they wanted to take a different direction on the third installment of the twilight series after Chris Weitz helmed New Moon. He also wanted to do something had “a little bit more anxiety and edge into it.” In Eclipse, Bella is struggling to choose between Jacob and Edward, and also caught up if she wants to become a vampire or stay human, and he thought that Slade’s style could help out a lot.

And he was also asked on why they went for Bill Condon to direct Breaking Dawn. Other notable names rumored to have been approached were Sofia Coppola and Gus Van Sant. Condon is both an award-winning screenwriter and director. His famous works include Chicago, Kinsey, and Dreamgirls. In 1999, he received an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for Gods and Monsters. Godfrey said that Breaking Dawn’s theme is “very mature,” and that Bella and Edward are going through “very adult things” and their relationship has evolved like having a married life to being mother and father, which Edward never thought about their relationship before.

He also added that of his last three films, the actors in this movie received Academy Award nominations, which the Twilight Saga hasn’t. It is often compared to other successful film franchises like Lord of The Rings trilogy and Harry Potter series, which were not only huge at the box-office but also gained respect from critics and award-giving bodies alike. He said that from a performance standpoint, Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, is going to be thrown into something that she has not experienced or thought of deeply before in real life. She could remember her first love, falling in love, or even went through of having trouble of choosing between two men but the producer thought that the idea of dealing with these issues may be tough for her, and bringing in a director like Condon would help a lot. Plus, given what they saw in Dreamgirls, the director could “create something with a real scope and grandeur” to Breaking Dawn. He then added that Condon will come full circle and that he called him “a genre guy.” Before switching to working on musicals, his movies were mostly horror movies. His earlier works included Sister, Sister, Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh, F/X 2, and Murder 101.

Godfrey has also produced several movies besides the Twilight Saga like Behind Enemy Lines, I, Robot, AVP: Alien Vs. Predator, The Nativity Story, Eragon, and Dear John. His upcoming projects include Everything Must Go, Solstice, and Dark Tide.

Latest Eclipse Featurette

After The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Original Motion Picture Soundtrack lost its battle against Glee: The Music, Journey to Regionals at the Billboard 200 to claim the top spot in its debut week, now Summit Entertainment is trying to make sure that that won’t to the movie adaptation. The studio released a brand new featurette, which is like a smorgasbord of pasts TV spots, movie clips, behind-the-scenes shots, and commentaries from the cast members.

The featurette is a little more than 2 minutes and focuses more on the newborn vampires: the threat they pose to Bella, the Cullens, and the wolf pack. The newborn vampire armies were created by Victoria to avenge the death of her mate James who was killed by the Cullens in the first Twilight. The army is led by Riley, who was actually the first one to be seen at the featurette. He is played by Xavier Samuel, who said that there is a short period of time that the newborns are very strong and get very thirsty with blood. They were wreaking havoc in Seattle by making a series of killings. As soon as Victoria was satisfied with her army, they then went to find Bella because she will lead them to the Cullens. Victoria lied to them that the Cullen family was a threat to their existence. In order to protect Bella, the Cullens then made an unlikely team-up with the wolf pack to fight against the newborn vampires who were surging towards them.

It also shows some fight scenes, but they have been featured in the past. But this time they have in-depth comments from the actors like Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz. The Cullens practicing and preparing for the stunts are also included. Plus there are behind the scenes shots of the vampires shooting during their battle against the wolves minus the special effects.

The Twilight saga: Eclipse will hit theaters on June 30 but, you can also hit the net and Watch Eclipse online.

Eclipse Lost To Glee at the Billboard 200

In just a few days before the third installment of the Twilight series, Eclipse, will hit theaters, the original soundtrack of the movie has just been dropped… and it failed to claim the top spot in the first week of its release. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the album sold over 144,000 copies in the US but it was not enough to reach the number one slot. It got beaten by an album of a hit television musical Glee.

The original soundtrack of Fox’s show, Glee: The Music, Journey To Regionals, reigned supreme at the Billboard 200 with over 152,000 copies sold. The album contains songs from the season finale of the show, which aired just a few days ago before the soundtrack was released. It featured the anthemic song Don’t Stop Believing of Journey, Jonathan Groff’s take on Bohemian Rhapsody, and another rendition of Over the Rainbow. This is the third time that the album from the show reached number one after Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna (released May 8, 2010) and Glee: The Music- Volume 3: Showstoppers (June 5). Three number one albums in just one year!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featured songs like Eclipse (All Yours) by Metric, Chop and Change by The Black Keys, Change by Let’s Get Lost, a collaboration of Beck and Bat For Lashes, Jonathan Low by Vampire Weekend, What Part of Forever by Cee-Lo Green, and Jacob’s Theme by Howard Shore.  The first and carrier single was Neutron Star Collision by Muse, and peaked at number 77 at the Billboard Hot 100. It currently sits at the 17^th position at the Billboard Alternative Songs and 24^th at the Rock Songs chart.

The first Twilight soundtrack debuted at the number one spot with 165,000 copies after the first week of its release. The album then sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide. The next album, the original soundtrack of New Moon, debuted at number two, behind Michael Buble’s Crazy Love, with over 153,000 copies sold. But a week after it shot up to the top spot.

But will it take the top spot next week? Most don’t see it coming. Drake’s album Thank Me Later, is slated to be released and is expected to sell more or less 475,000 copies, according to Billboard. But the movie adaptation of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is set to be released in theaters on June 30, 2010 and, if expectations are meet, it will likely debut at the top of the box-office. So, you might also want to Watch Eclipse online.

And Two More New Eclipse Movie Clips

I have already lost count on how many clips Summit Entertainment has released in the past ten days to promote their upcoming third installment of the Twilight series Eclipse. There’s the one with the Cullens with an intro from Robert Pattinson, then, Bella Swan, Jacob Black and the rest of the wolf pack with a back story with Taylor Lautner, and a clip with the newborn vampires Riley and Bree Tanner, plus the one that debuted at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, which was the confrontation scene between Edward Cullens, Jacob, and Bella at the parking lot of Forks High School.

Now two more movie clips have been released. The first one features Jacob not wearing a shirt, again, while waiting for Bella and Jacob. Jacob even commented to Bella, “Doesn’t he own a shirt?” He does have a point. You could count how many times Jacob has been seen with a shirt on. But then again, with all those transforming into a wolf and subsequently ripping your shirt, it would have to be expensive. And then there’s Bella. She once again showed why everybody envies her. She first had a liplock with the vampire heartthrob Edward in the middle of the street. Geez, get a room will you two. And then, Bella then walked to the wolfboy hottie Jacob who was waiting nearby and she gets a big hug.  And Kristen gets paid for this?! Lucky, lucky girl. Jealous much?

The next clip features the redhead evil vampire Victoria being chased by the Cullens in the forest. She really is hard to capture with all those running away from the vampires jumping off from tree to tree, and trying to dodge while Jasper Hale is trying to catch you. Plus, she jumps off a brook, well, it smaller than a river, to get to the other side.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is directed by David Slade, who is best known for directing music videos like Muse, Stone Temple Pilots, and Tori Amos. It will be released in theaters on June 30, 2010, Or you can also Watch Eclipse online.

Brand New Eclipse Scene with Intro from Pattinson

Just a few days after the release of a much buzzed-about new clip at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards where The Twilight Saga: New Moon reigned supreme, where it won the Best Movie, now another movie clip has been released by Summit Entertainment. The newest clip is totally different that the one that had just been previewed at the awards show.

In the interview with Entertainment Tonight as an introduction to the clip, Robert Pattinson talked about his character, Edward Cullen, and his relationship with Bella and her growing friendship with Jacob Black. He said, “Bella had been getting closer to Jacob throughout New Moon, and now they have a very strong bond, and Edward still feels relatively resentful with that throughout Eclipse.” He also added, “Eventually he’s called upon to have to accept his help and the rest of the wolf pack’s help to defeat Victoria’s army of newborn [vampires].”

Do you remember the time when the Cullens had no idea who was or were behind the series of killings in Seattle? Me neither. I seemed to forget that at some it point, it happened. They have no idea that it was Victoria who was doing those rapid murders to help her create her own vampire army. She wants to avenge the death of her mate, James. He was killed by the Cullens at the first Twilight movie. Victoria is blaming Edward and is taking out her revenge on Bella, a mate for a mate. Edward first said that the intruder’s scent is new. It was Riley’s. Alice told them that it couldn’t be Victoria because she would have seen it while Victoria was deciding to attack them. Then, Edward said that it would have to be the Volturi but Alice was also convinced that it couldn’t be them. But because they don’t know who is out to do harm against Bella, she will be once again kept under protection. Rosalie is not happy again with this. Bella also does not like the set-up. She wouldn’t remain unprotected because she had… oh, snap. She was about to say Jacob. You should have seen the look on Edward’s face.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will come to theaters this June 30 but you can also Watch Eclipse full movie online.

New Eclipse Preview at the 2010 MMAs

The 2010 MTV Movie Awards served as a platform to preview clips for the upcoming much-awaited movies this year. M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender came in first during the red carpet. The movie will be shown in theaters on July 2, 2010, and is based on the first season of the hit Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was up next, which stars Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and is also an adaptation of the comic book series Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O’Malley. To keep with the adaptation theme, a brand new clip from first part of the movie which is based on J.K. Rowling’s last book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was unveiled. It stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. It is directed by David Yates and will be shown in theaters on November 19, 2010.

But there was no doubt that the movie with the biggest that night was the preview of the brand new clip from the third installment of the Twilight saga, Eclipse. The series is based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer. It stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner. It is directed David Slade and the screenplay is written by Melissa Rosenberg.  

The movie clip shows the confrontation scene at the parking lot of the Forks High School by Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, and Jacob Black. Jacob first approaches Bella, who was with Edward, and then asks her if she really did go out of town as her father told him. She said that she went to see her mother and asks him why. Edward then said that he wants to check if she is still a human. Jacob then tells him that he and his kind should not come back to their land again. Edward then orders to leave now. But Jacob is unperturbed and tells him that Bella has the right to know what’s going on and that Victoria is after her. Edward then says that he is just protecting her but Bella thinks that by keeping this from her, he lied to her. She then left with Jacob in his motorcycle.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be shown in theaters on June 30, 2010. But you can have the option to watch Eclipse online.

Salary Dispute Over Kellan and Ashley Resolved

The question if Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene will return for the final installment of the Twilight series has been looming around for weeks because of a reported salary dispute with the studio. But now the issue has been resolved when Summit Entertainment has published a press release. Before that, Summit has also released the first single off the Eclipse soundtrack, Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) by the British rock/alternative band Muse. They are the only band that has appeared in all the Twilight soundtracks; probably they are the favorite band of the favorite band of Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the novels of the same title which the movies are based on.

Lutz and Greene were reportedly trying to renegotiate their deals with the studio. They were asking for higher salaries if they want to reprise their roles as Emmett and Alice Cullen. Based on reports, their asking price ranges from $1.5 million to $4 million a movie for Breaking Dawn. (Although there is no confirmation yet if 756-page adaptation will be made into two movies, but Breaking Dawn already has a scheduled release date, November 18, 2011.) But it seemed like the studio did not bite their threat and rumor has it that it was Summit who leaked the reports to make the actors look greedy. And not only that, they were also trying to pull another “Rachelle Lefevre” on them, and will be replaced by other actors to take over their roles. Unlike Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, Kellan and Ashley were still just second leads even if they have relatively huge fanbase.  Even if they were replaced, the franchise would still be a big hit, as long as the three lead stars would still be on it. So, they signed on reprise their roles for a reported $1.25 million per film, which slightly higher than what Jackson Rathbone and Nikki Reed inked with around $750,000 to $1 million a film.

So, when you Watch Eclipse online, expect Kellan and Ashley to also appear on Breaking Dawn. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will hit theaters on June 30, 2010.

Listen to the first single off the Eclipse Soundtrack

From the official website of the author of the Twilight novels Stephenie Meyer, she announced that Muse, her favorite rock band, will finally headline The Twilight saga: Eclipse (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). The announcement comes after the release of the final trailer of the movie, which debuted at the Oprah Winfrey Show.

The English rock/alternative band has contributed on the all of the Twilight albums. They first appeared on Twilight with the track Supermassive Hole which was heard during the infamous Cullens baseball game scene and was the first track of the album. Paramore’ Decode was used as the lead single, which has sold more than 1,000,000 copies and was nominated at the Grammy Awards for Best Song Written for a movie. On New Moon, their song I Belong to You (Remix Version), which had additional guitars, was used when Bella and Jessica went to the movies. Meet me on the Equinox by Death Cab for Cutie became the lead single for the album.

Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) debuted on the BBC Radio 1 during Zane Lowe’s show, where Muse’s vocalist, Matthew Bellamy, was interviewed last May 17, 2010. Bellamy revealed that he wrote the song after he and his long-time girlfriend broke-up at the end of 2009. He revealed that represented a bit of a difficult period of his life and that the track may not be relevant anymore after the next album. He said that the lyrics talked about his feelings during the start of his relationship which he felt like everything would go on forever. He described it as a “kind of like a cheesy love sentiment.” The song captures the forbidden relationship of Edward and Bella quite nicely.
