Holy “Twilight” drama Batman! Just when we thought the big news surrounding the next installment of the “Twilight Saga” was the release of the art and official title, Summit Entertainment drops another bombshell on the Twi-hards!
According to a source close to the production company, “New Moon” director Chris Weitz will not direct the third installment of the saga, “Eclipse”. Will the drama around these movies never end? Now I understand why Robert Pattinson looks so depressed in his paparazzi pictures and why Kristen Stewart spends her free time smoking down on her front porch.
Via EW.com:
“Because ‘New Moon’, which Weitz is helming, and ‘Eclipse’ are due to be released so close together (on Nov. 20, 2009, and June 30, 2010, respectively), Weitz will be in post-production on ‘New Moon’ at the same time that ‘Eclipse’ will be shooting.”
When did I miss the release date for the third movie? It must have been while I was finding the nipple pictures of Sparklepants. Darn it! I thought I was on top of things when it came to the “Twilight Saga.”
This also means that the two movies will not be shot back-to-back which had previously been reported. According to the source, there will be a brief gap in between the shooting of the two films. Hopefully, the gap will be long enough for a few of the cast members to complete stints in rehab and for Rob’s hair to grow back after he shaves it off again.
Who do you think should direct the third movie? Should they bring Catherine Hardwicke back?
Thanks for the scoop!
Crista:
Guess we have a date for June 30, 2010 also. Should be make that one a weekend also?
