Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart in the Eclipse meadow scene
When I read that the meadow scene from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse would have to be reshot I found that hard to believe. The sequence, as seen in the released Eclipse images and teaser trailer, looks flawless in terms of ambiance and energy. True, you can’t tell how good Robert Pattinson’s and Kristen Stewart’s acting is just by looking at the photos, but the Bella-Edward chemistry does come through.
Their on-screen chemistry is even more palpable in the brief meadow clip found in the trailer, when Edward promises Bella he’ll love her forever and ever. (Jacob’s promise to fight for her until her stops beating sounds more spooky than romantic, as far as I’m concerned. But some people may be into that sort of stuff.)
A Summit representative has reportedly dismissed the claim that parts of the meadow sequence would have to be reshot. The rep also added that David Slade, not rumored replacements Chris Weitz (New Moon) and Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), would direct the brief (and long pre-planned) Eclipse reshoots — or rather, pickups — some time in the next few weeks.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, written by Melissa Rosenberg from Stephenie Meyer’s novel, opens on June 30. Meyer’s novels, I should add, are #5 among the "most challenged" books of 2009. “Challenged” as in books that some would like to have removed from libraries.
Also in the Eclipse cast are Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jackson Rathbone, Billy Burke, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Anna Kendrick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Ashley Greene. Cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe.
