A Super-Lame Romantic Look at ‘The Twilight: Saga Eclipse’
This will be an interesting test for David Slade (Hardy Candy, 30 Days of Night), to see if he can take horrid source material and turn it into something for everyone. Two have (technically) failed, and yet the franchise is stronger than ever. Below you’ll find a super-duper lame hi-res image (why can’t they ever release something cool?) from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Slade’s adaptation of the third book arriving in theaters June 30, 2010. In Eclipse), Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.

Production is underway on Monster Maker, a documentary that will profile legendary special effects master Stan Winston, Deadline reports today.
Barney Douglas (McEnroe) directs and produces Monster Maker.
In the doc, “From the Terminator emerging from flames, to the Predator removing its mask and the groundbreaking dinosaurs of Jurassic Park, many of cinema’s most iconic characters and creature effects were created by Stan Winston and his team. Through never-before-seen archive material, behind the scenes footage of iconic Hollywood movies, and interviews with family, friends, and collaborators including James Cameron, Monster Maker tells the story of the visionary artist whose work helped define modern blockbuster filmmaking.”
The documentary will feature new interviews with The Terminator and Aliens director James Cameron, producer Frank Marshall, and former LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy. Also expect cast members who worked with Winston to weigh in on Monster Maker, including Jeff Goldblum and his filming experience on Jurassic Park with “Winston’s cantankerous Tyrannosaurus Rex.“
Winston passed away in 2008 at the age of 62, leaving behind an incredible legacy in film. The four-time Oscar winner might be best known for his work on the Terminator, Jurassic Park, Predator, and Alien franchises, but his expansive work also includes The Relic, Pandorum, Avatar, and more. Winston also made his directorial debut with Pumpkinhead.
Monster Maker is produced by Frank Marshall (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic World, The Bourne Identity, Seabiscuit). Tamzin Merchant, Paddy Kelly and Steve Williams produce for Strange Bird. Drew Masters and Chris Grubb executive produce for Whisper. Dogwoof co-produces, with Anna Godas, Oli Harbottle, and Will Kane serving as executive producers. Keith Haviland executive produces for Haviland Digital.
