'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
It's officially 2010, and you know what that means . . . another year of Twilight!
2009 was a great year for Twilight fans, and we've already discussed this fact thoroughly. Well, 2010 seems to be shaping up - already - to be a great one as well.
Of course, the year will hold ups, downs, and in-betweens . . . and there'll be a few surprises to be sure, but right now there are several coming events of the year that'll make 2010 another year for Twilight fans!
Without further adieu, here are the top ten Twilight moments to look forward to in 2010!
- The Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer
This is, right now, one of the most immediately anticipated moments in the Twilight fandom. We've already seen one still (showing Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the meadow), the title art, and the first promotional poster for the film. Yet, only six months out from the movie's release, there's not much about Eclipse (aside from the devoted Twittering from director David Slade) that has been seen. There's been a bit of speculation about when and where the first trailer will debut, but even Slade himself has stated that he doesn't know. If the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is anything like the one for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, though, it'll be a monumental occasion . . . Can't wait to see those reaction videos!
- The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD and deleted scenes/commentary

Sometime this spring, the DVD for The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be released. Last year, when Twilight's DVD was released, there were DVD release parties across the country, including showings from cast members and the director at the various venues of celebration. Perhaps the New Moon DVD will receive the same treatment. Regardless, the release will be a moment of fun for Twilight fans, and two of the things that the DVD will bring - aside from the actual movie, that is - are deleted scenes and commentary. In the Official Companion for New Moon, there was at least one image from what appears to be a deleted scene (this one, showing Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene outside of the Swan home). There are two others we've discussed here as well. According to director Chris Weitz, there'll be about twenty minutes of deleted scenes. Usually, in addition to deleted scenes, a film DVD offers a special commentary option with the director and, potentially, castmates from the movie. For Twilight, the DVD commentary came from Catherine Hardwicke, Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart. In the commentary, the three had the opportunity to reflect on filming and their opinions on certain scenes as they watched. While New Moon has already been discussed (extremely thoroughly) by all parties involved, it'd still be fun to hear their reactions to the film as it progresses on-screen!
- Remember Me, Valentine's Day, The Runaways, and other films by the cast
The Twilight fandom is a devoted bunch. Becoming fans of the cast for the films is practically part and parcel of being a fan of the series. This is especially true when it comes to the "Big Three" (Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner). So, to see their work outside of the saga come to fruition will be fun and pertinent to a lot of the fans.

In Robert Pattinson's case, his spring release film Remember Me (which debuts on March 12, 2010) will probably be a must-see for Twilight fans and fans of the actor. The film tells the story of a young man enduring and overcoming a family hardship in the Big City. He is joined in the film by Lost star Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, and Chris Cooper. The release of Remember Me will certainly be a great moment for Twilight fans in 2010.
Along the same vein of the Remember Me release, Taylor Lautner's spring film Valentine's Day (though does not lead the unbelievable cast for the picture) will also hit home for Twilight fans and fans of the actor. Lautner's immediate co-star and on-screen love interest in the movie is Taylor Swift, and the first promotional trailer for the film that stars the two was only recently seen. Valentine's Day will be released on February 12, 2010, and it'll definitely make the cut as a moment for Twilight fans in 2010.
Kristen Stewart, too, has an important film that'll make its way to theaters in 2010. The Runaways, which also stars her New Moon and Eclipse co-star Dakota Fanning, will be released sometime in 2010. It tells the story of the all-girl band "The Runaways," and Stewart stars as Joan Jett, who was very involved in the filmmaking process. Stewart's Welcome To The Rileys will be hitting theaters in 2010, too (after it, along with The Runaways, makes a stay at Sundance).
In addition to these films, the Twilight cast'll have many, many pictures being released in 2010. A full list is available here.
- Eclipse soundtrack, artists, and contenders
If the formulation of the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is met with the same widespread interest by artists as New Moon's was, it'll be a long stretch of would-be contributors over the next few months. Already, artists like the band Muse have been putting forth their intentions of becoming a part of the Eclipse soundtrack (though Muse is a shoe-in for a great many reasons, you well know). Another probable contributor for the Eclipse soundtrack is The Killers, who appeared on the New Moon soundtrack and who David Slade has done a music video for (in conjunction with UNICEF). From his tweets, one might also speculate that the band Dead Weather might be a strong contender for the album, considering he raved about the band's video and tweeted pictures of one of their concerts that he attended during the film process. In any case, chances are that there'll be a push by some bands and singers who want to be a part of the Eclipse soundtrack (especially after the grand reception that the New Moon soundtrack received), and, in turn, there'll also be some fan speculation about what artists should or will make it onto the album. Soon after, a full list of contributors will be announced - as well as a composer for the film's score. The Eclipse soundtrack, then, will certainly be a memorable point in time for 2010.
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn announcement
Sometime in 2010, one hopes, the official announcement that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn is greenlit will be released. At this point, fans have no doubt that the film will be made, but whatever the hold-up may be, it hasn't happened yet. Of course, it's probably just a matter of time . . . At any rate, the day that the official announcement comes will be a fantastic one for fans of the Twilight series. Until then, we wait with bated breath . . . and speculate whether it'll be one or two films.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse premiere
This June, shortly prior to the theatrical debut of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the film's cast, producers, and director will make their way to Hollywood (the likeliest venue) to celebrate the worldwide premiere of the movie. Chances are, there'll have been a press day, a ton of cast interviews, and some very global travelling before the day of the premiere, but the premiere is something special. Presumably, it'll be broadcast in the same (though hopefully with a more well-received commentator) way that New Moon's was. For New Moon's premiere, fans camped out for days to earn their rightful spots on the red carpet. No doubt those same devoted groups will be making their way to the streets of Hollywood once more once Eclipse's premiere rolls around.
- The Twilight Saga: Eclipse release
Whether you'll see it in IMAX theaters or not, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is coming . . . hard and fast. Set for a June 30th release in the United States, the film approaches steadily. Once the premiere for the movie is over, the film will make its way to theaters, and between the midnight showings and opening weekend, all signs point to a huge debut for Eclipse. By the time the film does come to the big screen, there'll have been a great deal of mounting anticipation for fans of the saga (including speculation about which scenes should be in the movie, which quotes will make the cut, what scenes certain still images from the movie represent, etc.), and Eclipse opening will be one of - by far - the most memorable moments in 2010.
- The Host movie
No doubt the announcement that The Host would be made into a movie was a huge occasion for Stephenie Meyer's fans. Back in April, when the idea of The Host as a movie was discussed, fans were very enthusiastic about the idea that the book has movie potential, so the fact that Meyer has agreed to bringing the story to film has been very exciting. In 2010, progress on the film should be seen in some form or another - whether it be scripting, casting, or actual filming. The Host, which is Stephenie Meyer's first non-Twilight saga novel (and first adult science fiction/fantasy novel), is the first of a proposed three-part series, and when Stephenie Meyer appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she discussed the possiblity of continuing her writing on that series. So, in addition to watching The Host come to cinematic fruition, perhaps there will be more progress on the book front with this series. All this should prove to be a very exciting piece of 2010 for Twilight fans.
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn casting
Once the official announcement for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn's production is out, there'll definitely be some casting moments worth noting in 2010. While the film is not officially being cast right now, there may be an open casting call (but you'll need to hear this from a verified source, of course). Even if not, there are a ton of roles that'll be cast in Breaking Dawn. In the story, there are many new characters, including several which are pivotal to the story's events and progression. So, it'll be interesting to see which new faces join the Twilight cast . . . and how (and whether) fans couple those faces with the characters they purport to portray.
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn filming
This is sheer speculation, of course, but it could turn out that Breaking Dawn is filmed in 2010. All rumors and signs point to that possiblity, so, if so, it'll be yet another occasion of looking into the fishbowl for Twilight fans as Breaking Dawn (be it part one, or part all) goes into filming this year. Depending on the director, location, and devotion of fans, the experience could be complete and totally involved as it was with New Moon, or it could be a bit shut-off and elusive as it was with Eclipse.
So, any of these you're most looking forward to? Anything not on the list that you think will be a significant time for Twilight fans in 2010? Comment below and let us know! Should be an exciting year.

my gad, can't wait for eclipse to hit theaters!!!! :D:D:D and anything breaking dawn related:D:D:D can't stop smiling to my computer screen, 2010 is gonna be an AWESOME twilight year!!
cant wait for eclpise and for new moon to come out on dvd :D
Sounds great! Thanks for a great year of articles, Amanda!
I can't wait for Eclipse, but I'm gonna wait to see it. I'm sick of sitting in a theater full of fan girls screaming. I'm still not sure what happened in certain scenes during New Moon. Those stupid tweens and teens kept screaming...
so rude
I saw New Moon on Sunday night of opening weekend and that was great. This logic might not work for Eclipse since all the tweens will be out of school for the summer.
Thanks so much for the info on all the Twilight going ons!!! As a Twilight MOM, I do appreciate being kept in the know of any Twilight news that you may know about!!! This year 2010, should be very eventful for the rest of the Twilight saga and hopefully for the Host as well!!! Will have to watch and see!!! Thanks again!!!
Thank you for putting good solid information information in your article. It was enjoyable to read fact based instead of sensationalized garbage that so many sites have.
I know what you mean,Anna. I saw Half Blood Prince on the same day as the local summer camp! It ruined the movie for me.
I so look forward to all the Twilight Saga events of 2010!! I have seen New Moon ten times and I plan on seeing Eclipse twenty!! I just love the series and films!! I actually hope they release the first teaser for Eclipse sometime this month because I'm tired of just having a still of Rob and Kristen, I want an actual clip. I also look forward to seeing Remember Me which stars Rob this March. 2010 the year of Eclipse is finally here!!
2010 will be huge for The Twilight Saga. I am finding myself on the edge of my seat wondering just how great Eclipse will be. New Moon was phenomenal,saw it 5 times and counted down the days since the end of August to see it. I'm waiting very patiently for the DVD Release and now I really can't wait to see the Eclipse trailer(s) that will be coming out soon my guess around the DVD release of New Moon. I know they will make Breaking Dawn, but this is their way of keeping us wondering. 2010 is just going to be great.
thinking the annoucement of breaking dawn will be after eclipse comes out so studios et al will see the how the fans turn out !!!!
ahh so exited i cant wait hurry eclipes it is so brilliant ahh hurry please i love u !

well that is a LOT for 2010! i really do hope that all of those listed above will push through coz if it does, i'll be the happiest person ever!
i just cannot wait for eclipse to get here. it would be awesome of the cast did another tour like they did for new moon. it just made the build up even more exciting
this is a perfect list for 2010.? also can't wait to see Kristen new movies this year.
OMG....I really am Super exited right now, The Twilight saga is my all time fave film series, Ever since i watched the first Twilight i have been obbsessed New moon Was Apsolutley Fantastic and I really hope that they make eclipse as good as they made the first two...I keep waiting for new moon to come out on DVD and i seriously am over excited for that to happen...And i Honestly know that 2010 is going to be even more buzzed for the Twilight Saga...:D

I hope the trailer come out in the next weeks ... i need something more than this meadow pic...
Looking forward to a great twilight year :D
Thx for the info! I would LOVE to see BD split into two parts :) and as for screaming fangirl haters- u know u're going to see the movie more than once, so let us have at least opening night to squeal in excitement ok? or else consider that opening night is not for those who want to be as quiet as if u were in church. :p
the only thing to make the Twilight series complete would be to hear of the finishing and release of Midnight Sun...PLEASE Stephanie....it is so important to the series...it almost puts the finishing on it, please ,please, please Stephanie...we have been so patient and understanding of what happen...I cannot wait any longer
I agree, need Midnight Sun, read what's online so far and it's amazing from Edwards point of view - can't wait to read the entire book!! Please finish!! You are amazing writer Stephenie, I live in Az and am truly a fan!!! Thanks for the 4 booksso far they have given be so much joy and passion....just don't want it to end. EVER!!
I love new Moon and Twilight so far. I want to see Eclipse and breaking dawn so much.
Thanks for all info about twilight saga i can't wait for see all movie from steph.meyer
I am obsessed with twilight lik for real .
agree with everyone but am going crazy just thinking about when the host is coming out....
k peeps... stephanie is NOT going to finish just because we demand it... so let it go and enjoy the fandom of the movies for the moment... when we've all moved on is when she MIGHT consider writing more twilight stuff.
also, i cant wait for eclipse either <3
I'm getting even more excited after hearing all of this
I cant wait to see the 2 sequels left to the saga, I hope they start soon for Breaking Dawn... as for Eclipse I cant wait to see it.. reading more of what is said in the article, it looks like all actors are going to be promoting Eclipse even harder then New Moon... I hope someday to meet these cast as they have brougt them to life so well. :)
I think this is a great list and I'm so excited about everything.
i love newoon its so cool i loke it when alice kicks the door . and when edward says u can never trust a vampier . trust me ahh the good old new moon . and now eclipes it ceeps geting better and better
I think that breaking dawn should be put into one part not two because u would rather sit through a long moviethan wait a while for the next one wouldn't you
Thanks for putting this list together! I had no idea how exciting this year was going to be! What a great way to start the new year.
You forgot to mention the release date for midnight sun is august third. And twilight fan 06: have you read the book? It pretty much has to be more than one. Plus they probably will cuz once people see the first part they will be eager to see the second. It help builds hype and what not.
ropbert pattinson estas muy guapo me encantaria conocerte en persona....ese seria el mejor regalo.....y me encantaria estar solo un dia contigo o 5 minutos siquiera..te amo..te amo...te amo
soy de mexico y me encanta tu trabajo y soy fan de todo lo que haces tengo 23 años y espero leeas esto
te amoooo
I think Eclipse was my favorite book (I don't really know I LOVE all of them) anyway I CAN'T wait for the movie to come out, it would be the BEST movie of 2010
REALLY????????????????? Midnight SUn is going to be release on August 3rd??????????????????????? OMG yes that would make 2010 even BETTER!!!!!!!!!! IF that is not true I am going to be the happiest person in the UNIVERSE
Thanks for all the epic info! It's just a shame the premiere has to be in hollywood, there should be one in England, oh well :( As for Steph.Meyer Midnight sun should be brought out in your own time, if some one did that to me i'd be pretty annoyed as well. Lovin the series though, i'm on holiday when eclipse comes out so i have to wait to july the 14th!!! gutted But ya know.Great list.
Ms. Meyer do finish the Midnight Sun and so excited this year 2010 for twilight saga. Can't wait...
I would love to see Breaking Dawn in one go, even if it means I have to sit for 5 hours, but as we they would never make a movie that long....because of this I think 2 parts Breaking Dawn would be better (would hate the wait though), the entire book is so awesome I cannot bear the idea of some parts being left out :-)
cant wait it will be awsome definitly
new moon was waaay better than twilight....so i just hope
eclipse will be AWESOMERR! ;)
iloveyourobertpattinson-?
I'm excited for Eclipse but also a little worried about Breaking Dawn. I understand that it was a somewhat graphic book in certain areas, but if a parent can let their kids read it then they will let them go see the movie if they up the rating. Imagination is so much bigger than what can be done on screen. So my biggest concern is how much they'll cut out of the book to make it "friendlier" which will upset SOOOOOOOO many fans. I personally would be ok with a long movie, but even if they did it old style, with an intermission in between that would be ok. I'm sure the fans wouldn't mind that as long as they don't have to wait MONTHS for a part 2 to come out! I'm so so so SO excited for Eclipse tho and can't wait for the New Moon dvd release!
twilight was the best movie of the past year, i love robert pattinson.
fazine.co.cc
I did'nt know that 'the host' was being made into a film, now that i do, im so excited!
If they don't make breaking dawn i will cry, they can't just make films of 3 of a 4 book saga.
i also, want them to do it in 2 parts but, i won't want to wait long for the second part.
xx
m so deperately waitin 4 eclipse...may b cuz m in lov wit edward(robert)xoxo
