The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
- The original script for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was written over a decade before production finally began in 2010.
- David Slade originally wanted a completely different ending for the film, but test audiences preferred the one we see today.
- Eagle-eyed viewers have noticed a hidden easter egg referencing David Slade's previous film in the background of the opening scene.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is a 2010 American romantic fantasy film directed by David Slade, the third installment in the franchise. As a mysterious wave of disappearances in Seattle is traced to a growing army of "newborn" vampires created by the vengeful Victoria, Bella must navigate her deepening romantic entanglement with both Edward and Jacob while the Cullen family and the Quileute wolf pack form an unprecedented alliance to protect her from the approaching threat. David Slade, whose previous film 30 Days of Night demonstrated horror credentials, brought a harder edge to the franchise's action sequences, particularly the climactic battle between the combined Cullen-werewolf forces and the newborn army.
The film's exploration of the Edward-Bella-Jacob love triangle reached its peak intensity, with a controversial tent scene in which Jacob must physically warm the hypothermic Bella while Edward watches. Eclipse earned $698 million worldwide and was generally considered one of the stronger entries in the franchise.
