MTV suggestions for a Greater Eclipse Movie

Well after New Moon hitting on the blockbuster lists of Movies.. Eclipse Movie is now anticipated to be a more blockbuster one not just for twilight fans. MTV has some suggestions to have Eclipse Movie getting more audiences and fans when it will be shown on the big screen June 30, 2010.



Amp up the Bella and Edward romance
"Twilight" established the potent romance between Bella and Edward, but "New Moon" sacrificed much of the chemistry for the sake of Bella's growing bond with Jacob. Granted, the reason why Edward was mostly absent during "New Moon" was because he broke up with Bella and was moping around in an apartment for months on end, but Chris Weitz forgot to reestablish why exactly Bella and Edward were so in love. With "Eclipse," we hope David Slade explores their connection, especially with so many fans jumping ship to Team Jacob after seeing Taylor Lautner's abs.

Expand the secondary characters

Even though Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are the biggest draws for most fans, secondary characters like Anna Kendrick's Jessica, Mike Welch's Mike Newton, Dakota Fanning's Jane and Michael Sheen's Aro were key to some of the most fun parts of "New Moon." "Eclipse" introduces a whole slew of new characters (Riley and Leah, anyone?) and we hope some of the old favorites aren't sacrificed for the new, especially with Anna Kendrick's potential Oscar win for "Up in the Air." Plus, there's the fact that the scenes in which Bella interacts with humans (like her father, played by Billy Burke, and the high school students) are some of the most interesting and well-acted in the series thus far.

Make the fight scenes more action-packed

Yes, we understand that a lot of care went into making the CGI werewolves in "New Moon," and thank goodness the fight scenes in the second "Twilight" installment were better than the first, but the final battle in "Eclipse" is the most action-packed part of the entire "Twilight Saga." With David Slade's previous vampire film "30 Days of Night" under his belt, we can expect some intense action, but we'd like to remind him we want to see some newborn vamps being torn limb from limb anyways (and not just in slow motion).

Make the film more appealing to a non-"Twilight" audience

There are a lot of elements in "Eclipse" that could attract an audience not made up solely of Twilighters. In "New Moon," there was no effort spent on setting up the story from the previous book or explaining why Bella and Edward are so in love. "Eclipse" was the book that made Stephenie Meyer's vampire series what it is today, and hopefully "Eclipse" the movie will break the film series out to a larger audience as well.

Have fun with it

Some of the best parts of "New Moon" were when screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and director Chris Weitz let loose and had fun with the film. "Face Punch," anyone? (This I consider a stroke of genius. I expect a "Face Punch" movie poster for Chanukah.) Flying Virgin America to Italy? Jessica's commentary on zombie films? If "Eclipse" doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't hold itself too close to the book, it could turn out to be not only a great movie for "Twilight" fans, but a great film in general.

Eclipse Movie Commentary by Terri Schwartz

According to Terri Schwartz in Commentary:
Unless you've been living under a rock the past few months, you'll know that a teensy little film called "New Moon" came out this past weekend and made a blockbuster-worthy $140 million in the past three and a half days. But most of that insane opening weekend appeal can be attributed to a year's worth of Twilighter fanaticism and marketing, and only time will tell whether "New Moon" can sustain its box office hold beyond just fan interest. In fact, most critics knocked the movie because it stayed so close to the book and didn't deviate enough to let those not familiar with "Twilight" in.

Enter "Eclipse." The third installment of "The Twilight Saga" has already finished filming and is slated for a June 30, 2010 release. It is arguably the best in the series (arguable because it is my favorite, obviously), but it is also the book that propelled Stephenie Meyer's novels into the insane popularity they now have. That's right; it was only two years ago that not everyone and their mother knew about Bella and Edward. There are a number of different elements that allow "Eclipse" to reach beyond the vampire/human love story appeal, so read beyond the jump to figure out why you (read: boys) might too be interested in this movie. Needless to say, spoilers lie ahead.

More of a focus on the supernatural elements of vampires and werewolves
I'm sure Bram Stoker rolled over in his grave when sparkly, vegetarian vampires became the newest blood-sucking craze. Sure it took her two very long books to get to it, but in "Eclipse," Stephenie Meyer finally delves into the history of her creatures and how they fit into the world as we know it. Which leads us to…

Backstories
Much of "Eclipse"'s length comes from the amount of time Meyer spends on explaining the backstories of her various secondary characters. The reason why vampires and werewolves hate each other is finally revealed, as is the history of the Cullen family. When we talked to Jackson Rathbone, he told us that flashbacks of Jasper's younger vampire days during the Civil War will make it into the film, while he is explaining to Bella (Kristen Stewart) the nature of…

Victoria's newborn vampire army
That's right, these vampires go on mass vampire-creating sprees. Turns out, newborn vampires in Stephenie Meyer's world are significantly more powerful than your average vampire, but also a lot more unreliable. Jasper learned all about this during the Civil War, when the vampire who turned him used him to help create her own newborn army. This time -- meaning the present-day of "Eclipse" -- it's both the Cullens and the Quileute wolf pack who have to face them in…

The final battle
Sure there's the ballet studio scene at the end of "Twilight," and the made-for-film fight between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Felix (Daniel Cudmore) at the end of "New Moon" (and I won't even get into the mess of an ending in "Breaking Dawn"), but at the end of "Eclipse" there is a no-holds-barred epic battle between the Cullens and their werewolf allies against Victoria (now played by Bryce Dallas Howard) and her army. Granted, in the novel Bella is far from the battle being protected from Victoria by Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Edward, but we're sure that will be remedied in the film. It will cut back and forth nicely with...

The tent scene
Maybe the boys won't like this one so much, but the tent scene from the "Eclipse" chapter "Fire and Ice" is the ultimate showdown between Edward and Jacob. Bella and Edward's sappy love in "Twilight" and the sexual tension-filled friendship between Jacob and Bella in "New Moon" come together in a great moment that even the most anti-"Twilight" female could enjoy. And probably even some of the guys too. Don't worry, I tell anyone you secretly liked it.
