Yes, it just wouldn't be right to not do Eclipse after new moon. I really hope new moon goes well since they have a bigger budget. Eclipse is my favorite. It really kept me on the edge of my seat. There was alot of action. Plus those hot scenes w/ Edward..lol. I'd be curious as to how they would keep Breaking Dawn good for all audiences. lol.

Yeah me too. They'll have to do a lot of cutting here and there and let the audiences imaginations take over...because they have to keep it PG or whatever the rating was for T. I can't remember.

^^PG-13. I don't think BD would be impossible to do because of those scenes. There can be scenes where a lot is left to the imagination, much like the book is.
Anyways, back to Eclipse, since they are filming back to back shouldn't we start hearing more about it now or are they going to keep the focus on NM?

They're probably just gonna keep everything about NM right now....and wait until it's released to start talk on Eclipse. Its probs just a way to keep control of us fans so we don't ask too many questions and go crazy about locations, script and cast etc. Although I bet MR would've started work on the Eclipse script already since they're doing back-to-back...and this would be the only real time she has on her hands. I wonder who Riley will be...

well if MR hasn't started, I really hope they get someone new to do the screenplay. That's just my opinion though.

but just because they'll be filmed back to back doesnt mean they will be released back to back... in fact, im pretty sure they wont be...

Yeah you're right about that part. NM will be released this Nov. And E Nov 2010. The main reason they're probs doing a back to back is so the characters don't start to look older. And it will also free them up to do other movies.

yeah exactly.. that kinds sucks tho, knowing the film is already made, and not being able to see it for like a year...

I know! Didn't this happened with the Harry Potter movie??
It will be horrible to know that the movie is ready but don't be able to see it...hopefully the movie will be great and worth the waiting

Well hope is all we can do because according to this site:

http://login.vnuemedia.com/hr/login/log ... rUTmAIc%3D

it says that:
The company has acquired rights to the next three novels in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster vampire series and has hired "Twilight" scribe Melissa Rosenberg to pen scripts based on "New Moon" and "Eclipse," the second and third books, respectively.

So looks like we're stuck with her. But hopefully she can do a better job this time around...and for Breaking Dawn who knows. Summit haven't confirmed that it will be turned into a film, but they do have the rights.

I feel with New Moon there has to be Eclipse at the very least. Breaking Dawn would be great as well. However, I don't know about CGI effects for any of the movies. I'm hoping by Eclipse, the cast will have more say on what stays vs. what goes (or rather what's okay to let go) for scripting. I know for New Moon, after getting to speak with Ashley Greene, that the line asking Bella how opposed she is to grand theft auto, it will be in the movie but original script-wish, it wasn't. Now it definitely does. So I really think that the cast and the directors are going to have a lot of affect on how it runs.

I absolutely LOVE Eclipse. So I'm very excited to see it on the Big Screen. It'll just be interesting to see how they are able to cut the 600 page book into a 2 hour movie, there's so much that happens! What will they change? What will they cut? I'm afraid some of my favorite parts in the book might be cut/shortened ( like what happened in Twilight. Where was all the fun conversations in school & the cafeteria? and all of Jasper's best lines.) But definitely if they do Eclipse they had better do BD. I would LOVE to see the wedding, reception, Bella turned into a vampire (finally!)and the happily ever after ending.
