'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
Despite what might've been murmured around the forum rumor mill, the first screening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - by "anyone out of editorial" that is - is happening now, according to a recent update issued by the film's director, David Slade.
According to him, today is a "big day" as the first "director's cut" is at "phase 1" with the studio's first screening of the film.
After months and months of reading Slade's countless updates about the post-production process (which seems, by the way, incredibly taxing and tedious), it seems that things are finally coming to a head and the editing process is nearing completion.
A director's cut of a film, of course, is not the final cut (and it probably won't even be made available to the public). The final cut is usually reserved for someone in the studio, who can make a few adjustments here and there to make the film more presentable in the box office. Those changes, for the most part, are not usually drastic. (Obviously, with varying studio interests and agendas, that statement is a heavily case-by-case matter. Who's to say how many changes will be necessary for Eclipse.)
For the meantime, though, this news means that things are progressing in the completion arena. While that doesn't necessarily give us any indication of when we should expect the first trailer for the film (though prior speculations may still be applicable), it does mean that the film is that much closer to being finished and ready for the theaters!
Very exciting, huh? Oh to be a fly on the screening room wall . . .

Awesome!! Now hopefully with the first screening being released to the studio maybe now in the upcoming month(s) we will finally get more still's and but even better an actual trailer!!
Wow, a fly for sure. I have always wanted my super power to be invisibility, but becoming very small with the ability to fly would be a good runner up.
Cool that they are almost there. Can't wait for the studio to start releasing some of the stills and trailers. My guess is that Summit will release the trailer with Remember Me, and that it will be in the New Moon dvd. I would have thought that maybe they would release it with Dear John, but that one starts next week and since the studio hasn't said anything I'm not expecting to see it there, even though it would be very nice if they did :)
OMG I CAN'T WAIT! HOPEFULLY IT WONT BE DISAPPOINTING LIKE NEW MOON..-.- xD!! I BET EVERYONE DID A GOOD JOB THOUGH. ..^^
Please just do not cut to much. We don't care if its longer then usual. The prior films were wonderful but too much was left out. Those that did not read the books got a pieced together and changed look at story that fell short on explaining the depth involved in the characters.
New Moon was hardle dissapointing, if anyone thinks New Moon was dissapointing I don't know WHAT they think of Twilight. Eclipse better be good and real good, character status goes through the rough and interaction between various characters increases... if it's done in a half-dead manner like some actors in New Moon, then Eclipse, which is supposed to be one of the more action ones is gonna become an extreme flop.
I just hope they don't cut to much from the movie like they did in New Moon and I trully hope the soundtrack is better, I mean, there is only 1 song I liked from the New Moon soundtrack. loved The Twilight soundtrack. oh yea, let the kissing be better...
Got something to say?
