Eclipse
Gossip

She's back.

The Twilight Saga fan we dubbed as a "complete nut job" for her reaction to the New Moon trailer has now videotaped herself watching the official Eclipse preview for the first time.

Because she posts these on YouTube, we'd like to think she's playing up her response on purpose, in order to earn hits and attention. But it's hard to say.

The complete and utter craziness enthusiasm certainly appears legitimate, doesn't it? Do you think she's aware that Robert Pattinson is not a vampire? Or that most of the scenes/storylines from the movies aren't even original? Assuming she's read the book series, how shocking can these developments really be?

But, hey, whatever makes you hyperventilate and react like someone just discovered the cure for cancer happy...

Isabella Swan, I promise to love you, every moment... forever.

Yesterday, we gave Twilight Saga fans a glimpse at the first-ever trailer for Eclipse.

Today, we do them approximately one minute better: Summit Entertainment has released the full length preview for the third film in this franchise. Seen in the exciting video below:

1. Taylor Lautner as Jacob, shirtless in one scene and pleading with Bella to choose him over Edward in another.
2. Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria.
3. Bella and Edward in bed, wrestling with the most difficult choice they'll ever have to make.

Sit back, watch, enjoy and start counting down the days until June 30...

When we last left Bella and Edward, the latter had proposed to his shocked, mortal beloved. The New Moon cliffhanger left viewers in wonderment... unless you've read the book series, that is.

Now, the first trailer for Eclipse has been unveiled, delivering a much-desired first look at what's in store for everyone's favorite supernatural couple.

In the 10-second preview below, Edward warns Bella about the choice she's about to make, while Jacob says he'll always fight for her. It's great stuff.

Eclipse comes out on June 30. But fans can get their Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson fix in many ways until then:

• New Moon arrives on DVD on March 20.
• Stewart is starring in the upcoming The Runaways.
• Pattinson's latest film, Remember Me, hits theaters on Friday.

Take this from someone in the know: Eclipse is gonna be hot!

Chris Weitz, who directed New Moon, tells People magazine he's read the script for the Twilight Saga's third installment and fans will NOT be disappointed. Especially in one specific scene.

"I'm looking forward to the sleeping bag scene, I gotta say," Weitz said. "That's going to be very steamy."

As readers of the book franchise know, Weitz is referring to the moment where a freezing Bella (on the run from Victoria) gets warmed up from Jacob... while Edward angrily, awkwardly, angrily looks on.

The director also says he's excited to see Elizabeth Reaser and Peter Facinelli get into the intense action of Eclipse.

"I have a special interest in seeing Peter and Elizabeth tear people's heads off," Weitz said. "Knowing them, and how kind of kooky and delightful they are, I'm going to find seeing them being ultra-violent very interesting indeed."

Yeah. That's fine and all. We just wanna see Taylor Lautner shirtless.

Eclipse opens on June 30.

Two new photos from Eclipse have been leaked, and each is OMG-worthy for its own reason.

First, fans can get their first look at Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria. The actress controversially took over this key role from Rachelle Lefevre after the latter portrayed the character for the first two Twilight Saga films.

In the scene below, Victoria is not getting along very well with Edward, is she?

Meanwhile, the second Eclipse image truly has fans buzzing. For what reason? It's a simple equation:

Kristen Stewart + Robert Pattinson - A couple shirt buttons + A steamy embrace = YOU BETTER CHECK OUT THE PHOTO BELOW RIGHT THIS VERY INSTANT.

It takes an awful lot to make Taylor Lautner's 18th birthday the second biggest Twilight news of the day, but...

Fans anxious for a sneak peek at Eclipse should purchase The Twilight Saga: New Moon on DVD or Blu-ray at Walmart.

That store's "Ultimate Fan Edition" will be the only one to feature a seven-minute preview of the third film in this franchise. Based on a press release from this week, it will include:

• New interviews with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Stephenie Meyer;
• Behind-the-scenes and on-set footage, including the premiere of a scene from Eclipse.

The Ultimate Fan Edition is available for pre-order at this very moment. It's likely to surpass Twilight as the most pre-ordered movie in Walmart history.

New Moon comes to DVD on March 20 and Eclipse hits theaters on June 30... as if you hadn't already seared those dates into your memory ages ago.

The reveal of the official Eclipse poster? Exciting.

The announcement by Adam Lambert that he'd be interested in recording a track for the Eclipse soundtrack? Very cool.

But the release of the first image from the third film in the Twilight Saga? Swoon, shriek and hyperventillation worthy!

Summit Entertainment, the movie studio responsible for the franchise, has leaked the following photo from Eclipse. On one hand, it's simply a shot of Edward and Bella in a field of flowers.

On the other hand, IT'S A SHOT OF EDWARD AND BELLA IN A FIELD OF FLOWERS! Get excited, fans, and then get to ogling...

Among other newsworthy items related to the movie over the past couple months:

• Kirsten Prout, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Jack Huston, Jodelle Ferland, and Xavier Samuel have all been cast in key roles.
• Bryce Dallas Howard will controversially replace Rachel Lefevre as Victoria.

Fans are still buzzing over the second tidbit. Now, they can at least shift their focus back to Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's characters.

On a scale of 1 to this nut job, how excited are you for Eclipse?

It didn't take long for Bryce Dallas Howard to be thrown into the Twilight Saga fire.

In July, it was announced that the actress would take over the role of Victoria from Rachelle Lefevre in Eclipse. The casting news set off a firestorm among fans of this franchise.

The anger has died down a bit over the last few months, but will likely start up again as we inch closer to the June 30, 2010 release date of the third Twilight movie. In a recent interview, though, Howard sought to quiet her critics.

She had nothing but nice things to say about Lefevre when asked about replacing her in this key role.

"Rachelle really created an incredible character and is exquisite. I fell like the uproar that occurred was really appropriate, because... you’ve seen the actors grow with the franchise. And [Lefevre’s] unavailability [to do Eclipse] was really, really, really unfortunate," Howard said.

As for joining the Twilight Saga cast, which consists of such A-listers as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Howard gushed:

"I was really struck by what an incredible group of young people are in that franchise. Their friendships are so genuine, and they really ground each other. There’s a lot of attention and scrutiny, but I’m truly moved by how solid they’ve remained in their values and belief systems and their caring of one another throughout all of that."

Sounds like Howard is doing everything she can to endear herself to Twilight fans. Is it working? Are you ready to welcome her warmly into the cast?

A few months ago, Adam Lambert said he'd love to be included on the New Moon soundtrack.

Alas, that never materialized - but there's still a chance the Twilight Saga universe will collide with the wildly popular singer next summer.

In an interview with MTV, Lambert cited a song ("Suburban Decay") that didn't make it onto his debut album. He said he hopes the single is eventually released and performed.

"It's a great song and I hope to perform it someday, and I think it will find a home, on a soundtrack or something... maybe Twilight. It just didn't quite fit [on the CD]. It's very theatrical... It's very campy, and it was just a bit too campy for the album as a big picture."

Too campy?!? We'd never thought we'd hear those words uttered by Adam Lambert.

If Lambert truly combined with Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and the Eclipse cast, numerous heads might explode and lungs get destroyed by constant, loud screaming.

But it's a pairing we'd love to see. How about you?

New Moon has been out for less than a week, but it's historic box office haul raises at least one question:

Will it be topped by Eclipse?

Fans won't need to wait long for the third Twilight Saga film to hit theaters, as it's scheduled for a June 30, 2010 premiere. In fact, Summit Entertainment just released the first official Eclipse poster:

The Eclipse poster: Love it or hate it?

While most of the New Moon cast will return for the third movie - including mainstays Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner - one shake-up has already created buzz around the flick.

In July, Rachelle Lefevre, was replaced as Victoria by Bryce Dallas Howard. The character actually plays a critical role in the third story, as she gathers together an army of newborn vampires.

We won't give anything else away about Eclipse. Not yet, at least. There will be plenty of time for that movie's hype throughout the winter and spring of 2010 on The Hollywood Gossip.
