The Fans Have Spoken: “Eclipse” is “Way Better than New Moon”
COPIED AND PASTE
After turning the space outside the Nokia Theatre into a tent city earlier this week, hundreds of screaming “Twilight” fans — many toting posters with messages such as “I want to play ‘Pat the Pattinson’ ” or “My heart goes nutz for Lutz” scrawled in brilliant colors — got their wish at the world premiere Thursday of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”: photos with Robert Pattinson, a glimpse at Kellan Lutz’s Calvin Klein underwear and, for a few, last-minute tickets to see the film.
“It’s still such a struggle in the car on the way here,” Pattinson said on the red carpet. “I’m like, ‘I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.’ “
It was a sentiment the nearby shrieking girls at the premiere definitely shared, which was part of the Los Angeles Film Festival, even though other festival-goers might not have. After all, the movie isn’t exactly the kind of fare typical of the films screened at the festival, which is sponsored by the Los Angeles Times. And though the screening of the Summit Entertainment film brought in scores of celebrities and media attention, it also ran the risk of alienating the festival’s core clientele of indie-film fans.

LOS ANGELES – The “Twilight” series may have changed the lives of fans worldwide, but perhaps no one has been more affected by its success than the three stars of the series: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

Edward is a vampire, Jacob is a werewolf and Bella is the ordinary teenage girl loved by both of them.

“Eclipse,” the next film in the franchise, opens Wednesday.

Robert Pattinson Says that ‘The Twilight Saga’ Darkens with ‘Eclipse’
COPIED AND PASTE
The “Twilight” franchise is growing up.
In the series’ third installment, “Eclipse,” a dark tone pervades and limbs fly from bodies in a climactic battle involving vampires and werewolves. And the love triangle between lead characters Edward, Bella and Jacob burns with even greater intensity.
“In terms of the violence and stuff, I guess that makes it a little bit more grown-up,” said Robert Pattinson, who plays the smoldering vamp Edward. “And also I think it’s just a more accessible storyline. The sort of love triangle thing — being torn between two lovers doesn’t really happen when you’re 8. So yeah, I guess it’s a bit more grown-up in that respect.”
Kristen Stewart, whose character Bella must choose between the two magical beings, compares the emotional trauma of making that choice to the violence of battle.

The Chicago Sun Talks to Rob, Kristen and Taylor about “Eclipse”
COPIED AND PASTE
On a dark, rainy night outside of Seattle, Bella Swan is at a life crossroads. With an army of vampires out for blood (hers), she must hide out in the woods between two supernatural hotties.
Vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) wants to protect his freezing mortal girlfriend from frostbite but must defer to his arch enemy, werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
“After all, I’m hotter than you,” Jacob says and then wraps around Bella in what could only be described as werewolf spooning.
For those keeping score between Team Jacob and Team Edward, it’s a laugh-out-loud moment in the new film “Eclipse,” opening Friday.
Ask Pattinson on a sunny spring morning in Beverly Hills his rebuttal to the “I’m hotter” line and he drops the trademark sullen puss and actually smiles.
“What is my comeback? There is actually nothing you can say,” says Pattinson, who arrives with shorn locks.
