Rumor: New Moon and Eclipse Filming Simultaneously?

in Eclipse

Eclipse Poster This is all just speculation at this point, but it’s worth keeping in mind as we see more from the New Moon set. Are Eclipse and New Moon–or at least parts of them–being filmed at the same time? A reader over at TwiCrack sends this in–

One of my best guy friends went out to LA to visit his mom over Easter and he ended up going to Easter dinner with someone who worked on Twilight and is currently working on New Moon. They talked briefly about it, saying that they would film in Italy at the end of May. My friend also said that the crewmember told him that they are currently shooting both the 2nd AND the 3rd. I asked my friend if he meant that they were filming Eclipse right after they finish New Moon, but he said that he was sure they are filming both. It kind of makes sense and it explains why Taylor Lautner was in the parking lot pictures on Lainey Gossip (Jacob shows up at Forks H.S. in Eclipse to confront Edward).

Hmm. What do you guys think? We did hear from Lainey Gossip yesterday that they were filming a scene where “Jacob turns into a wolf”…

  • It doesn't make sense though. I thought when Jacob arrived at Bella's school, in Eclipse, he had the short/shaggy hair rather than the long hair. Chris isn't directing Eclipse either so why would he do extra work for another direction? Especially if the Eclipse direction has different vision from Chris. I hope that made sense!

    Also, as Destined said, that means that the Clearwaters should be cast now. Should we start looking forward to an announcement for them too?
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    I really don't think they are, Why would Chris shot scenes for another director with his budget? It just doesn't sound right.
  • IndiesR
    Yeah, this doesnt sound right. Unless the rumor about Chris brother shooting Eclipse was true, then i could see Chris doing it (since its his brother)...but i really doubt it.
  • I don´t think so... doesnt sound right to me either
  • nadee09
    well if the director for Eclipse is his brother, maybe yeah, but if this rumor is true that they are filming both, maybe the NEW director is on set, maybe by working with Chris together they can help each other make both films great with out that much of a difference in the sense of style, to keep it almost the same, cuz in most cases two directors dont think the same, maybe this is the way they think will satisfy fans, by keeping the style and direction of both movies the same....idk if i make sense im just as confused as everybody! lo =D
  • IndiesR
    LOL. Actually, you do make sense. But I'm waiting t0 see what really happens, these might just be rumors (but you never know) :)
  • nadee09
    oh okay just makin sure....yeah we dont want to jump into conclusions! lol...i hate it when they keep the most important ppl in the dark...us the fans! so at the end we shall all wait in eagerness to see what happens...because if this means faster production...then go right ahead! lol =D
  • I agree! I doesn't sound right. Plus wouldn't we have heard something by now about the Eclipse script as well?
  • KINALuvzWolves
    This is totally bogus. Think about it:

    1-Like you said, we would have heard something about the script by now. What reason would they have to keep it hush hush if they were already filming Eclipse? That makes no sense.
    2-As far as the Jacob/Bella/Rob filming in the parking lot, we don't know that all three of them were even filming the same scene. They could have shot a Bella/Edward scene and then a Jacob/Bella scene later, neither of which have anything to do with one another. Get what I mean? Just because the three of them were filming that day doesn't mean they were filming together. I find it hard to believe that no one thought of this yet (or maybe someone did but I didn't catch it.) Oh well. It's the magic of movie making.
    3-As far as getting into character, I would imagine it'd be very hard for the actors to switch back and forth between the NM and EC storylines, especially for those who have the larger, more complex roles, like Kristen and Taylor. I really doubt a director would film two very distinct movies simultaneously because it would be incredibly taxing on everyone.
  • I agree with everything you said. I remember, Jake/Bella/Edward pics, there being food involved as well. Maybe they were just having a bite of food together. Because the pictures never showed Taylor actually filming with them. He was just there so who knows.

    Hell I don't care too much as long as November hurries up lol
  • hey, where can i see that pic?
  • i love rob
  • Woohoo! *posted in the other topic* lol that was nice!!
  • Erin
    I have to agree. And last I heard Eclipse had a release date of July 2010. That could be a rumor too, but I am pretty sure the release date that I heard was in July of 2010.
  • Chris10
    Kristen said in an interview a few weeks ago that she has 8 weeks in betwen New Moon and Eclipse. Plus I'm with you on the budget and director issue. Just another stupid rumor to get us Twilight fans in a huff. Why must they f#$k with us I'll never understand?!?!?!?
  • twifan89
    my thoughts as well, chris weitz isn't directing eclipse so it wouldn't make sense for him to do scenes for it.
  • OCDJenni
    well I'm not TOTALLY buying it...but as of right now, there is NO word as to who the Eclipse director is--just rumors--so COULD be possible. Not saying it is but we're not gonna know unless they tell us and they sure aren't in any hurry to tell us absolutely EVERYTHING about these. I guess we'll find out sooner or later :)
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    They (Summit and the actors) have said that there will be an 8 week break between filming New Moon and Eclipse. Many of the actors (Nikki, Kristen, Kellan, and Peter) have other projects they are working on during the break. Summit has said that they will be doing casting calls for Eclipse after New Moon is done filming.
  • IndiesR
    I agree. I'm a little skecptical with this rumor.
  • Chris10
    I don't buy it. Rumors suck!
  • Yep, this doesn't add up to me. Everyone's made it clear that when New Moon is finished, they will have a 8-week break before returning to film Eclipse. New Director....New Budget....additional actors and filming bits of pieces of the third movie in the midst of the second makes absolutely no sense. Just another rumor.
  • i love rob
    I can't even concentrate on the comments now.....your picture is just getting better and better!!! Holy Sh*t!!!!!

    You made me lick my screen....yet again!!! Hot Damn!!
  • i love rob
    OK...you need to seriously send me the link where you found this pic.....I need to see it in a much larger version!!!!
  • LMAO!!

    http://horiwood.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/ale...

    Trust me....I found this and started drooling worse than a person on a diet in front of a donut store.
  • i love rob
    OMG!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!!!!

    I love you!!! Muuuaaahhh!
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    ohh! When I grow up I'll become a movie director, hire Alex and make a movie called "A Movie Where Alex Meraz Takes Off His Shirt"! ROTFL
  • Oh! Do it! Do it! But I want to be casting director to uh make sure he is fit enough for the movie! LMAO!
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    ok! but you'll have to touch his muscles like all the time and stop yourself from fainting, drooling AND RAPING MY MOVIE STAR! can you handle it? :D
  • I think so! As long as I get to keep my thoughts of fainting, drooling, using the shredded clothes to tie him to the....woah now! :P
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    LOL! save those thoughts for the night after filming - when I finish he's all yours :D
  • i love rob
    OK...much better, I can concentrate now! But I agree, it doesn's make any sense!! We have to treat a lot of this stuff as rumors.....until we hear something officially!

    BTW...did I mention your picture is sooooo f*kin hot!!! I'm gonna have to jump my hubby tonight for sure!!!
  • JamieCullen85
    Yeah I agree, he did have short hair when he showed up in Eclipse...and he was huge!! Towering over Edward. I highly doubt there shooting at the same time, Chris isn't even the director. And btw just b/c Jacob doesn't show up at the school in the book (NM) doesn't mean he won't in the movie....
  • JamieCullen85
    Oh yeah and I love the pic above...looks official, compared to New Moon......
  • natalie
    i'm so addicted to the Saga like all of you guys are,but cmon! aren't we spoiling the movie for ourselves? too much information and speculation already!
  • i doubt they are shooting eclispe right now cause the actors said they were taking a short break between new moon and eclispe ....so it dosent really make sense u know
  • Lovin_the_Cullens_n_Bella
    I agree.... it doesn't make any sense to me either.....hmm...
  • marie
    i am almost 100% that it is not true, go to mtv.com, there is an interview to Drew Barrymore where she say that they didn't pick her as the director for eclipse( as you know she was one of the choices). They also say that Juan Antonio Bayona will be directing eclipse. And so how come it is film back to back by Chris? it doesn't made sense.
  • team taycob!!!
    so wat clip shows all 3 of em filming? some say it is from eclipse, can i c it? i don't no where 2 find it.
  • team taycob!!!
    so wat is the pic of the 3 of em'? some say from eclipse?
  • Can you imagine how confusing that would be for the cast to be learning two different scripts? There's NO WAY they are shooting both at the same time. It doesn't make any sense. I mean yes I want the movies out ASAP but lets focus on one thing at a time to make sure its done right :)
  • Marystat
    That doesn't make any sense though? I mean Kristin said they were having an 8 weeks break between filming, which is when she will shoot her biopic movie The Runaways, and Kellan has stated in an interview he's going back to Vancouver in August again to film for Eclipse (after his current filming for New Moon is done). Maybe they are shooting minor scenes or prepping for Eclipse though?

    I'm confused lol
  • RobRocks
    i agree with you. they both said that there would be a 8 week break and start doing eclipse in August. and they havent said anything on who the Director would be and havent stated who seth, leah and sue clearwater would be. I think its just a rumor. and as far as jacob being on the school set..maybe he was there just to hang out or maybe they have changed something in the movie to bring him there...you never know
  • Lydia
    do you have a link to this interview or when it was taken?
    because i'm from vancouver and if i dont get to meet a cast member right now, i'd be fine having to wait till august when its summer and i have more free time to stalk :P
    are you sure theyre filming eclipse in vancouver as well???
  • Marystat
    These interviews with Kristin and Kellan was posted here on this site late March so sorry I got no direct link to give you.
  • Destined
    It could be true, but I hope that by doing that they don't take away from either of the films. And if that's true, that means Seth, Leah, Sue, and other characters should be cast then.
  • Syra
    Maybe. But I won't believe that until it's something else than just a rumor.
  • you may have a point there
  • Hanna
    Of course none of us has any idea if this is true. Stephenie Meyer could write another 550 page book just about all the rumors flying around about these movies. From a budget stand point, it would make sense to me for them to film them together... you already have everything set up to film New Moon, why not save the resource it would take to rebuild all the sets and just film them together.
  • Daniela23
    "It kind of makes sense and it explains why Taylor Lautner was in the parking lot pictures on Lainey Gossip (Jacob shows up at Forks H.S. in Eclipse to confront Edward)."

    Yeah, but on those pics he had long hair and in Eclipse he shouldn't have it that long.

    I don't know anymore, I'm confused.

    And maybe he was filming his scenes the same day somewhere else and just came to hang out, I doubt they can afford just to film one scene a day.
  • Those parking lot pictures that Lainey had (there is one where Bella is running from the truck). Is more than likely when they are in the truck going to take the bikes for the first ride. I mean you even SEE the bikes covered up in the back of the truck! And she sees ppl jumping off a cliff? Remember she freaks out and starts to run from the the truck? .. well thats my only explanation of those pictures. I mean yes, its clearly in a parking lot .. but remember .. this isn't going to be EXACTLY like the book .. there will be changes .. think about it ...
  • Daniela23
    On no, no...I was thinking about these pictures http://www.laineygossip.com/Robert_Pattinson_an... these are recent ones, and we were all wondering why is Taylor there with Kristen and Rob, because the only time Edward and Jacob meet in NM is at the end near Bella's house.

    The ones you are talking about are older ones, and I know they were probably filming some Bella/Jacob moment, that is clear.
  • sh%t I completely forgot about even seeing him in those pictures DUH .. well isn't that just interesting ...

    But like I said .. this isn't going to be EXACTLY like the book. I mean they added Charlie's friend dying at the hands of James/Victoria/Laurant in Twilight .. plus other stuff along the way. So really, none of us are truly going to know why Jake is there until NMM comes out.

    But I do not, not even a little bit, think that is a part of Eclipse. Its apparent that they are filming the part when Bella goes to school w/ her Camera (according to some of Lainey's pics anyway) .. and this is the 3rd time I've said this today ... not everything will be the same ... so maybe they wrote it in that Jake is there that day? Who knows!! We dont, thats for sure
  • Daniela23
    Yeah of course things aren't the same in the movie, they never are. They can introduce him earlier, he could've been filming some scenes before and was just there or something third...I mean there are a lot of possibilities.

    The thing is they are mentionig it as a possible proff that Eclipse is filming simultaneously with NM which just doesn't make any sense because we don't know as you said exactly what are they filming and that about Eclipse is a BS...that's why I mentioned it.

    I think that crew member or whoever it is that said that is probably very, very confused individual haha.
  • Scooter
    Maybe its just for the teaser trailer...but also, the release date is wrong on the above pic...its supposed to come out June 30th, 2010...we only have to wait about 6 months for it after New Moon! :)
  • DamselNotNDistress
    I think it's a hoax. If im not mistaken, the pics being talked about here about Jacob being in the parking lot..He had long hair. He cuts his hair in New Moon. I could have missed some pics tho...
  • Sinful Shay
    I'll play Leah...I mean if they are looking for someone ;)
  • karoo
    They filming Eclipse in august already ??
  • RobRocks
    yup...and rob was heard saying that BD would soon follow in early 2010
  • i hope they make breaking dawn a movie cause it would be horrible if they didnt u know
  • Deejay
    Have you guys thought about how maybe Eclipse would have been too long and they are adding some of it in New Moon. I mean it makes sense to me. And even though alot of things happen in New Moon, it is still pretty slow. And with all the action Eclipse has. Yeah, to me, it would make sense to fit some of Elipse into New moon.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    Actually, after I read all of the books I told my friends that I thought they might combine parts of Eclipse into New Moon and parts of Breaking Dawn into Eclipse to get it all into 4 movies. They could get away with putting the first couple of chapters of Eclipse in New Moon just like they could put the wedding in Eclipse. It would be OK to do this if they stayed true to the story.
  • Marie
    I hope they do, why would the movie come out a year later if they are already filming it. I think it should come out in the middle of the year....
  • oiehfoiewhfkdsnlds
    no no nooo
    eckipse is coming out june 30 or 31 in 2010
    not in november 20th
  • Juju
    It's too early to speculate but I do love hear these kinds of juicy details.
  • violetloper
    Eh it's not true. Chris is not directing Eclipse so this whole story doesn't make much sense.
  • Irishgirl
    I can see where that assumption could be made. But I don't see the point in filming them simultaneously, and Summit not acknowledging that. Why not announce that? That would mean no search for a new director for the third, that there is more casting needed, as Riley and the other wolf pack members have not been cast. Also, the actors have stated they are not filming them back to back or simultaneously. It's possible they are filming a few scenes that will be in Eclipse, taking a break, and then coming back to finish in August. But I don't see how that would be the case if Weitz isn't the director of Eclipse.

    As for that scene being filmed, I can think of two scenes it could be in New Moon. One, it could be the scene where Jacob brings Bella to a wolf meeting, to explain Victoria, and Paul, in anger, morphs so Jacob morphs to keep him away. Rob could be there because they're having Bella hear Edward (or in the case of the movie, he's a vision....or whatever they are doing) during that moment. Second, it could be the scene from the epilogue where Jacob brought Bella's bike to Charlie to get her grounded. Edward is in that scene, and Jacob gets upset at the end. While it's not said he morphs in wolf form, they could be ending that scene with him doing that and running off.

    So, I can see where someone would think they are filming the two together, but I don't see why they'd do that without acknowledging that.
  • RobRocks
    why does the date say 11-21-2010? eclipse comes out in june or july of 2010
  • Leanneduh
    WOWOWOW!
    super excited!
    that kinda does explain why jacob was at forks high set...
    wow! x
  • random reader
    This is just hear-say. There was an interview with Kristen Stewart where she said that there was an 8 week break in between the filming of New Moon and Eclipse. Because that is when she was going to do the Runaways.
  • Destined
    That's true. I mean really they do need a break, especially if they are lined up for other projects and like many are saying, Chris is not even directing Eclipse. And Taylor being on set that day could have been for another scene he was waiting to film. He prob was just hanging around and they happened to catch pics of him. They do have to be ready to film at anytime so he could have been there.
  • HeatherEl
    HMM...dont know if i believe this...
  • Chris10
    I just need to say something... How in the world would this Lainey person even know that Jacob was turning to a wolf at the end of a scene. I'm assuming his transformation would be done with CGI and they're would have to be an actual WOLF on hand to shoot the film of his after effect. Did anyone mention a live wolf at the scene? Anyone? Anyone? I didn't think so. I'm almost positive that the scene in question with the three of them (Belle, Jacob, and Edward) is at the very end with the argument about the bikes. Just another reason for us not to every listen to Lainey!!!!

    Okay I feel better.
  • Destined
    And even in that scene, Jacob does not turn into a wolf. Jacob only transforms once in front of Bella and that is the scene with Paul and Jacob. When Jake confronts them and Bella spills the beans about her wanting to be a vampire, Jacob starts to lose it, but he does not transform. So yeah, I don't know how Lainey got that thrown in there.
  • Chris10
    I have no doubt that on those last pages of New Moon that Jacob is anrgy to no end and will change as soon as Bella walks off, so yes it's possible but I still think there's no way for anyone to know that, unless they're ON THE SET. I guess we'll just have to wait and see! :)
  • Destined
    If he does change in the end, it will def be an add in for the movie because it is not in the book. Bella doesn't say anything and neither does the book allude that he does. It just says he watched them with a dark scowl on his bitter face and then it crumpled in pain and she said she knew it would hunt her until she seen him smile again. Def no transformations there.
  • Chris10
    That's what I was saying. That it's not in the book but it's pretty much assumed that he was so angry and hurt he ran off into the woods to go do his wolf thing.
  • I heard that that scene was just a forest scene between Jacob and Bella.
    Why Robert/Edward was there:
    Ashley Greene sed in an interveiw that we wud be seeing a lot more of Edward, and its beleived this is becoz wen bella heres haluusinations, it will have Rob/Edward as like a ghost type haluusination in the background telling her to stop being dangourous. So thats why rob could have been there. Maybee..... ?? Who Know. But it was sed in recent interveiw there will be more edward and i believe it is something to do with the haluusenations. (Cant spell that word sorry lol)
    Lol i only go on to Lainey to look at the set/cast pictures on there.
  • trish
    i agree.. I doubt that they will be filming both at the same time. But i do know that if eclipse really does come out in june/july, then they'll have to start filming pretty early, like mid-winter at the latest. As much as I am excited for eclipse to be made, in my point of view, june/july is a little too early for a release date. I'm scared they might just rush into things just to make it on time for the deadline, and they'll end up missing out all the important eclipse segments. I think the whole saga should be spaced out the same way... like all at least a year apart. That also gives the actors a chance to explore new movies and showcase their talent elsewhere. I know all the fans have no patience at this point, but I would give the cast/director all the time they need for a good preparation so that all movies are worth the wait in the end! =)
  • ChrissyTina
    I'm worried that they're rushing stuff, too. But I think they don't want to have a Harry Potter issue on their hands. Harry Potter's lost a lot of interest because the movies were/are so spaced out and then here comes the next big fandom - Twilight. Maybe they're worried that waiting will lose interest to whatever the next big thing may be?
  • stangs girl
    it sort of does make sense becasue eclipse is set to release in June of 2010 so they may be getting some scenes out of the way so that the filming does not take as long after
  • sunlady
    well,,,,,.. i,ll have to say this ( IF ) they are then no it don,t make any sents because that is taking money out of New Moon. & that is something that i really hope ain,t the case . but if soooo then that maybe why Eclipse is coming out sooo soon after new moon!.
    either way i can,t wait in till there ALL made!!!!
  • ya i agree
  • yvette
    it doesnt really make sence. i don't buy it.
  • CJ
    Well, it could very well just be a rumor. However, to be honest I wondered why they didn't plan to film them together anyway. No need to change directors between films, actors don't age, etc. It makes the most sense to film them together, but I don't see why they would hide it from the public if that's what they were actually doing. Keep in mind - Peter Jackson filmed all of the LOOR movies together - and it was awesome.
  • Twilight saga fan
    Well, I do not want to rush into that. Film must be perfect, but in so short time limit, it is a bit hard, isnt it?
  • MCJesus
    merrr rumors will me rumors.... it would make sense in a way but since chris will not be returning you know it's kind of rubbish :xxx
  • bxbaby8827
    I don't care if they're filming them separately or together. As lonf as the movies are relatively close to the books. Besides, chris isnt the director for eclipse, so they shouldnt be filming for it anyways. Taylor was probably filming some scene that was added into New Moon in the screenplay. Like in Twilight, when they went on the school trip. It was an added scene, so maybe it's happening again in New Moon.
  • Cerize
    Actually it doesn't change anything. New Moon will be released in november and Eclipse in 2010.

    (does someone have seen that on imdb.com, on Breaking Down page is written 2013??? i've read on a french website that they only have an "optioned property"...
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1324999/)
  • crazyjulieta
    I'll second Deejay... I think they are just adding some Eclipse to New Moon... and not that they are filming them simultaneously... ;)
  • HeatherEl
    ALSO...has anyone seen how ridiculus this weeks tabloid covers are? the links here if you want to:
    http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/...

    The life and style one is SO silly!
  • HeatherEl
    they ARE twilight related btw...they are not just about Miley cyrus and britney spears! lol!
  • ChrissyTina
    It probably is a rumor, but I agree with what Hanna said. Budget wise, filming some basic parts of Eclipse would make sense. They have the sets, they have the cast...they might as well use it and save some trouble.

    But Chris won't be directing Eclipse. Every director has a bit of a different method. If they film scenes from Eclipse now, they probably won't fit with whatever the new director does. That would mean whatever they might shoot for Eclipse now would probably be reshot later when the new director starts.

    I think someone also said it would be possible for them to throw some of Eclipse into New Moon just based on length issues. That's actually not too bad. Since we have no idea what exactly is in the New Moon script, it's pretty possible that they might play in some of the Eclipse basics. Except that probably means more New Moon things would be cut out than I'd like to see....

    I don't know...it's this Catch 22. Possible, but not all at the same time. It would make sense to, but it still wouldn't. Hmm.
  • gottobekidding
    It's got to be a rumor. They haven't even cast Leah or Seth yet. You cannot film Eclipse without Leah or Seth.
  • Fred
    Just to add regarding the scene pic with Jacob on the set of the Forks High Parking lot. Taylor was photographed with the wig on. Which means it was definately in New Moon. We can't forget that just because he wasn't there in the book doesn't mean he won't be in the movie.
  • TWloverFromFaraway
    I don't think the rumors are reliable. But how else we can explain with-the-wig-Taylor on photos?
    If we are dreaming..... - wouldn't that be fantastic to get Eclipse just after NM? I would soar!!! :)
  • RustyHalo
    I'm not going to believe this until it comes from a reliable source. Anyway do they already have the script written for Eclipse? I would think not. Unless it was rushed and that would really piss me off that they didn't take their time and get it right! Also, wouldn't it get a little confusing for everyone to be filming two movies at once???
    One movie at a time people!!! Get them right please!!!
  • Tara_Kay
    I don't think thats true, Kristen and someone else i can't remember who, but they said they get a 10wk break in between, b/c they said they wanted to work on something else in that time frame, so who knows. and aren't they supposed to be done like soon, like in a month or two, i know they go to italy next month, but after that like in june or something aren't they supposed to be done, if so then that means its only taken them like 3 or 4 months to shoot the film, which means they have a whole nother year till the next one is supposed to come out they would have plenty of time to have a break and then get into the next one.
  • JustMija
    I agree with you! Cause they haven't even picked a director for Eclipse, plus they need to pick out others for Victoria's army. They have to pick a few of the edlers for the bombfire, I think this will be done during the break. as well as finding the right place to fight in the open field, Mountain scene , there so much that needs to be done for Eclipse!
  • ChloeMay
    I doubt this is true. From all the infomation gathered it seems very unlikely.
  • morgan
    it might not br tue, but maybe it. either way I c'ant wiat. and I cna't wait to see the acotrs paly out the characters . I lvoe Edward and rob pattison and Bella nd kristen
  • JustMija
    There are only two scenes I can think of why Taylor, Kristen were together him being a wolf, Like everyone has said here the part where Paul get upset from bringing Bella to the meeting for the first time she sees them tranforms into a wolf. The second scene is at the end where Jacob ( Taylor) brings the bikes to Bella's house and he is standing in the woods with Bella ( Kristen ) & Edward (Robert) saying goodbye to her due to her being with Edward.

    Now as far filming Eclipse Kristen, and Summit have both stated that they are going to take a 8 week break from filming the Twilight Saga, Kristen in interviews has sid this is due to filming, The Runaways or K-11 (I think that's the other movie, I'm not for sure ) But I do know that Chris is not filming Eclipse, they haven't even said who is going to direct Eclipse yet.

    When it comes to Breaking Dawn, this is the movie that is going to have to be done like the Harry Potter book 7 done in two parts. Breaking Dawn is too long of a book to be put into a 2-3 hr movie there is way too much in there to be seen. Then you have to think about the other vampires they have to cast for. Whole big issue to think about is, How are they going to do Nessie!? I have read on IMDB.com t where they say Breaking Dawn wont come out until 2013. Then I read early 2011 . Who know what is true and not true. But I do know for sure they are taking an 8 week break after New Moon, too many of the cast have stated this.
  • noemi
    WOW!!!!!!! that is an interesting idea......it would probably make sense but has that ever even been done before???
  • twilightus
    Does anyone know when Breaking Dawn will be filmed???? Is there a discussion on the 4th book?????
  • kate_lynn
    i really dont care how they do them i just want them done and done right
  • RenesmeeCullen
    i think they are coz like the artors arnt ment 2 age so hopefullly they are.
    is there gonna be a 4th movie breaking dawn?
  • chloe
    this isn't true. the casting for eclipce hadnt began yet, and chris is not beeing the director!! so it is not true
  • mushy
    wow.. its nice,, dont care if they're shooting it at the same time.. as long as its both breath taking and well done, no one will have to complain about it..
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Hmm? I'm never too sure about the rumors so I can't believe just yet until someone like Chris or some of the cast say it... and plus Nikki and Kristen had mentioned that there would be like an 8 week break before filming Eclipse... who knows? Either way, I can't wait to see both movies =]
  • lovevampolves
    idc as long as they make them into 2 seperate movies
  • Tia_jb10 (Team Pants Explode!)
    hmm... i thought they[ashley & rachelle] said they had a break btwn the movies maybe maybe not oh well who knos? but btw love the poster that should be the official one
  • Vicky
    I think it is just another rumor, I do however like the poster which has been made, looks amazing with the shapes and stuff. I think they should get New Moon done first and then do Eclipse after.
  • twilover112
    that is way too fast if they are!
    come on people, if you want it done properly, it takes time!
  • Jbells
    No, I highly doubt they are filming Eclipse right now!! In an interview with Kristen Stewart, that I saw recently she said that they would be filming Eclipse about 8 months after they finish filming New Moon. They cant be fiming Eclipse, I want Eclipse to be good!! They need to not rush these movies, they need to be as close to the books as possible, Twilight was phenominal!!! :)
  • twilightluv210
    actually this makes a little sense... think about it. eclipse is supposed to be coming out june/july of 2010, so that means that if they film after new moon they only have like 6 months to fil it... and remember, Catherine H. turned down new moon because it would only be a few weeks until they began filming again... so they wouldn't have a break between new moon and eclipse, which seems completely ridiculous to me. also remember they said that Kristen Taylor AND Rob were filming at what looked like a meadow.... i mean, maybe they are doing it together, it would make sense.
  • Kristin
    OK, yeah. the poster date is WRONG....Wikipedia has the realse date for June 30, 2010. WTF.........This is just another BS story
  • Sanna
    i don't think that's how they do, i think they're going to do eclipse right after new moon.
  • Kristen's boyfriend
    It makes sense, there are a lot of characters that have short participation, itì better filming both at the same time CHEAPER
  • Cullen2
    Is it possible Chris might direct the Eclipse too, if Summit is happy with New Moon? Or is it absolute that he will not direct Eclipse? I think it would be a shame if he did a great job with NM that we lose him!
  • Katie
    I dont remember where i read this, when i find the site i will post it,
    but somewhere it said that they are filiming eclipse right after new moon and that eclipse should be out next june sometime (june 2010)
  • immortallove
    Yeah, this doesnt make much sense to me either like, why in the world would they flim two movies at once? I mean the cast have enough to do as it is.
  • twilover
    I dont understand why Summit keeps changing directors. I am glad that they got Chris because I believe he will do a way better job than Cathrine did, but why put filming so close together that you need to get another director to come in for Eclipse. Since this is a series of books the films need cohesion and with differing directing styles we are not going to get that. Plus, wouldnt it be a shame if Chris does an amazing job with New Moon and then its followed up by a not so great Eclipse? I know we want the releases to be close together, but this is rediculous!
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Maybe there just filming certain scenes at once? who cares Im happy! Im grateful there doing any of the movies.
  • Renesmee
    WRONG... Eclipse is coming out June 2010!
    Look here:
    http://www.newmoonmovie.org/2009/04/rumor-new-m...
  • LisaM0014
    Exactly what i thought when it said taylor lautner was filming in a parking lot with kristen and rob. I was thinking that doesnt happen in new moon, that happens in eclipse. That's sounds awesome.
  • HMM...interesting .....that explains a lot of things like Jacob in the parking lot
    wonder if its true or not
  • Mandy
    has anyone noticed that the poster says 11-21-10, i thought it was coming out in june, did something change?
  • twilighter2212
    Well i watched an interview a few weeks ago with Kellan lutz & Ashley Greene for the movie The Warrior. They said that there is going to be a few months gap in between New moon & eclipse as some of the cast member's have other project's to work on.
  • filmkid
    I've heard the same thing. But they wouldn't be filming them simultaniously. I heard they were filming them back to back, as soon as they got back from Italy, go right back into pre-pro for Eclipse. They wouldn't film a single thing without Eclipse director present, which he isnt in Vang. But Eclipse isn't on the Production list yet either, so I dont know what thats about!
  • twilighter2212
    I'm trying to find the clip where they said it. I think it may have even been an interview with Kristen Stewart for Adventureland & they asked her about new moon & eclipse. not 100% sure.
  • twilighter2212
    ahhh i give up i cant find it! lol there is way to many interviews on youtube & i cant remember which one it was.
  • slim
    That poster is wrong because the date that i read for Eclipse is june 30,2010. And also i don't think there also shooting shot's for Eclipse's either and plus chris weitz isn't directing this movie.
  • Danica
    I actually had the chance to meet Peter Facinelli who told me he is just here for this week to film his scenes for New Moon and then he returns back to Vancouver in August for Eclipse. They are not filming simultaneously.
  • Katie
    The script for Eclipse isn't even finished yet.....
  • cutesweetiezzz
    It doesn't sound right. I don't think they can film New Moon and Eclipse at the same. They filmed parts of the New Moon school scenes at my school. They spent 2 days there, so I don't think it would be possible to get both the schools scenes from New Moon and Eclipse done. Plus I haven't heard anyone from other schools saying anything about New Moon and Eclipse filming there.

    I still remember hearing Robert or Kristen saying that once they finished filming New Moon, they would get a little break and come back for Eclipse.
  • EmmettzGurl242
    I doubt they would do that. It would be like double work for the actors, and wouldn't they need more money than the budget for New Moon? I'm sure they need all the time they have to make one movie, so they probably don't have the extra time to make any additional scenes for Eclipse. Just a guess, though.
  • stefi
    omg!! i love the poster it really looks realistic!! great job!
  • everything is just to weird and confusing
    AND I ALSO HEARD THAT ECLIPS WAS COMING OUT IN JuNe
  • Stefanie
    I thought eclipse was coming out in June? and also Kristen Stewart can't film the movie next spring because she is filiming 'the runaways' so it wouldn't suprise me if they do end up filming them together!! A good thing about that is, everyone will look relatively the same, which is good because the vamps shouldn't look like they have aged!!! But if they shove these 2 together then what will happen to the 4th movie(if they make it)? This isn't the first time I've heard this, filiming eclipse and new moon together.. its also not the first time that i've heard that eclipse comes out in june 2010. everyone else has made good points ^^^ jacob shouldn't have long hair etc. but maybe they havnt started eclipse yet!! anyway i'm going to assume the worst and say that they arent so i can (hopefully!!!) be pleasantly suprised!!!! :D
  • yohana
    si fuera hacis eria peor para los actores doble trabajo pero.. para summin intertaimen es veneficioso...
    alomejor sea sierto...
    a o lomejor no.. en realidad yo creo que es verdad
  • Lyric
    I was wonderin that too when I read that yesterday. if its true it will probably just be a couple scenes. but i don't know. that could b a good thing or a bad thing we have to wait and see.
  • Lyric
    maybe they added a scene to the begining of new moon like they did in twilight when jacob comes in in the begining istead of at the beach. and in the begining of new moon he has long hair.
  • Sara
    i thought the release date for eclipse was june 30 2010?
  • Lili
    u know that is really good news

    SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT'S TWILIGHT SAGA'S ECLIPSE
    TO BE RELEASED JUNE 30, 2010

    Los Angeles, CA February 22, 2009 — Summit Entertainment announced today that ECLIPSE, the third film in the TWILIGHT saga, will be released theatrically in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Melissa Rosenberg, who wrote the scripts for both TWILIGHT and NEW MOON, is currently writing the script for ECLIPSE and continues to consult with TWILIGHT book series author Stephenie Meyer.


    This is right from Summits website, so obviously the above is a BIG misprint of the date.
  • TeamBella
    Yes.

    And from an interview with Kristen Stewart, they will NOT film New Moon and Eclipse simultaneously BUT back to back with an 8 week break inbetween.
  • Mrs. Whorton
    That would be cool becuase then the Eclipse Movie would come out sooner ... either way as long as they make the Breaking Dawn one Im ok! I think it would be the best one of all!
  • nicknack
    it would explain why all of the cullens were still in BC. in new moon they all have a combined two scenes minus alice.
  • carlicullen
    wait.. did they move the eclipse date?
  • heather
    The scene in the woods with the three of them is the end of New Moon, right?

    Where Edward, Bella, Jacob meet up and Charlie screams for her in the background?
  • kim
    They did say that they wanted to film them while Kristen and Rob could still pass for 17.
  • Hi everybody !
    I'm a french fan of Twilight and I discovered a great website
    There is a video on New Moon.
    Watch here : http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/04/72839/inde...

    And a second video will be on-line on the 23 March
    (Sorry for my approximate English)
  • lamb
    eclipse will be released june 30, 2010.. that's the reason why they are considering who would be directing the next twilight "franchise"..i read an article considering drew barrymore and juan antonio bayona, since chris weitz (new moon director) will be busy finishing and furnishing the movie for november 20, 2009..

    yes, fellow avid fans of the twilight saga, we will no longer wait for another year to watch eclipse..it will be just like, what? 6 or 7 months ? from the release of new moon..

    i must admit, im happy knowing that the third installment will be out soon just after the second one..though, it concerns me - how can they pull these things together with such little time for two movies? i just hope they will not compromise and mess up the movie..the books are really, really good and it deserves to be translated to movie in a really, really good, fantastic way..

    can't wait for new moon!
  • Christina
    I heard that after they finish filming "New Moon" they were going to take a small break then jump into filming "Eclipse". Nikki Reed also confirmed that, but I guess the schedule can change. To be honest, it doesn't seem that likely. I mean, Taylor has to practice reading, and what better area than a parking lot? lol
  • NOT A FAN
    Ha there Both DUMB looking if you ask me.hahaha I know iam soooooooooo mean.Sorry i gust don't see what the big deall is.:p
  • i dont see why ur here if ur not a fan
  • me
    why does it say 11-21-10 I thoght it was going to come out in June
  • i think they were going 2 start shooting the movie in June
    and it comes out on 11-21-10
  • twilightfan
    i luv twilight so much i mean not like a crazy person but i think its cool! And who ever doesn't think robert and taylor are cute are totally brain missing!
  • i got excitied when i read dis yesturday but i was reading the comments and i think its impossible dat they r also shooting Eclipse If its true then the twilight fans would go crazy and flip out But if its not true then i would be disappointed cuz i got excitied 4 no reason But we have 2 wait 4 more rumors of it
  • Monica Kochenburger
    In Summit web site says the release of Eclipse will be june, 30 2010. The only think it's happen simultaneously with New Moon, is the script. You can check this in the website http://www.summit-ent.com/.
  • Hayley
    kristen stewart said there is an eight week break between filmimg new moon and eclipse, thats when shes filming 'the runaways'
  • team taycob!!!
    pk so some of u r talking bout a pic that shows kristem/rob/taylor at a skool??? is that it? well u r saying that it is from eclipse, wat pic its it? can i c it? please!!!!
  • Me
    Yea I found the site it comes out in June of 2010 not November.
    http://www.cinematical.com/2009/02/23/twilights...
  • loulou
    i think they should be released close together as they are not supposed to age and i was a huge harry potter fan untill i read twilight saga and now i cannot stop with twilight and the rest !! my irritation with harry potter is the lengh of time betwean books and films being released i knw they want to make as much money as poss but would it realy make a differnce ?
  • sammyjay
    i think all of this was for new moon, they could have added a scene where jacob is at bella's school and the scene that has been seen filmed where jacob turns into a wolf at the end and both edward and bella are there is the scene by the woods where jacob and bella go to meet the rest of the wolf pack, and edward turns up in bella's mind to warn her. eclipse is strating filming in august this year...
    sorry to upset fans but i think we'd have heard it officially by now lol xxx
