Of course, you're all well versed on the fact that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse promises to be a darker picture than its predecessors, Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
Charlie Bewley, who portrays "Demetri" in the saga, seems to think it'll be more "real" in the sense that "Eclipse has this different mood about it, it’s dark and vicious. You get to see the brutal nature of vampires and what they are really capable of, which is something we haven’t really seen in the first two movies." Or at least that's what he told OK! Magazine.
Of course, all that's been seen - officially - of Eclipse thus far is a still-frame image of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the meadow, and the trailer's release is to come at an indeterminate time, so all we have to rely on, for now, is words like those of Bewley.
It is interesting, then, to hear him say that the vampires in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will be portrayed as the dangerous creature that mainstream lore presents them as. Wonder if this will bring more guys into the saga?
Of course, these statements are qualified by David Slade's promise that there is a "balance" in the film. So, if there can and will be both (the predatory/vicious vampires as well as a soft and tempered love story), isn't that a good thing?

In 2009, fangs were the new black.
Although fangs and their blood-sucking owners have been around for centuries turning into bats, hiding from the sunlight and avoiding garlic, this past year their popularity seemed to explode into pop culture. From television to movies to books, consumers have sunk their teeth into the vampire frenzy in 2009, but will the same be true for 2010?
"Vampires look like us," said Jerry Pierce, an assistant professor of history at Indiana University Northwest, who said part of the attraction to vampires is their human sensuality. "We can identify even with that sex element. And they always wear leather. Werewolves in leather just doesn't work."
Glenn Sparks, a professor of communication at Purdue University Lafayette, said what made recent vampire stories, such as TV's "The Vampire Diaries" and the books and movies of the "Twilight Saga" popular is the stories are about how we relate to each other. He said people are aware that we need human connection beyond social networking sites and cell phones, and teens especially are exploring those relationships.
"Hollywood is able to depict the theme in a way that made it seem real to young people, and young people are the fad-makers of the culture," said Sparks. "It could have been about something else and relationships, but it happens to be about vampires and relationships."
Khris Rettig, a librarian at the Lake County Public Library Schererville-Dyer branch, said she's noticed long lists of reservations for any "Twilight Saga" book, or any vampire book in general. The library has a program that creates surprise packages for readers, grouping a certain type of book together and labeling it, such as "For the thrill seekers." She created a package labeled "If you liked 'Twilight.'" It was on the shelf for only about two hours. That's part of the reason the library doesn't create a vampire display.
"I suspect it would never have books on it," she said. "It's hard to have a display without any books."
As the Lake County Public Library's book coordinator, responsible for ordering the books for the library's adult collection, Janet Kotarski said she has seen vampires rise in popularity over the past decade. Doing a keyword search of the word vampire in the library's catalog results in 584 entries.
"As long as the authors are writing vampire books, there are people who will be interested in checking them out."
Pierce said with the popularity of the boy wizard Harry Potter winding down, the search for the next big thing is on, and though vampires in "Blade" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" have always been around, vampires seemed to fill the void.
Pierce and Sparks attribute much of the popularity to marketing. Sparks said Hollywood is always looking for themes that will make money, and once they start producing content that is lucrative, that content has an impact on what is popular. Both attribute a large portion of the vampire frenzy to marketing.
"The ideas of vampires in biology class sounds ridiculous, but it was depicted as 'Hey this could really happen," Sparks said.
Josh Solarczyk, manager of the Kerasotes ShowPlace 12 in Schererville, said he's worked at the theater for the past four years, and can't remember a year as vampire-laden as this one. When "Twilight: New Moon" premiered Nov. 20, Solarczyk said the theater had seven midnight shows that were sold out three to four weeks in advance.
Besides "Twilight," 2009 theaters also showed "Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" and "Transylmania," a vampire parody.
The fact that there's a movie out making fun of vampires leads Pierce to ask if the vampire fad has now run its course.
That sounds about right to Solarczyk.
"I think it's hit its peak. I think people are getting a little tired," he said.
But Rettig said while the peak may have been reached, she sees a slow exit because there's still at least two "Twilight Saga" movies left.
Sparks said vampires will likely leave gradually from pop culture, but they may be back.
"I think these themes ebb and flow. They're so deeply rooted in our pop culture. It will dissipate and it might resurrect again. When? Who knows."

The Improper had a little Christmas present for Robert Pattinson this morning. It looks like the British star is leading significantly in a poll the site conducted just in time for the holidays.
The poll seeks to determine which star readers think is more attractive - Pattinson, Alexander Skarsgard, or Taylor Lautner. Readers can also write in a different vote if the above three don't suit their fancy.
As of this afternoon, Pattinson held 72% of the votes, with 1,655 total. Skarsgard held 25% of the votes, with 582 total, and Lautner held 2% of the votes with 45 total. Only five people (less than 1% total) had voted for someone other than those three. (These numbers came from the poll site this afternoon!)
As the site points out, Pattinson and Skarsgard have a little bit in common. Both men play vampires, with Pattinson portraying Edward Cullen, the irresistible leading vamp in Twilight and the Twilight Saga: New Moon, and Skarsgard taking on the role of Eric in HBO'sTrue Blood. Both men are of European descent; Pattinson comes from England and Skarsgard comes from Sweden. And both men have risen significantly in popularity since taking on their immortal roles.
Final results are not yet in, but we're guessing Pattinson will end up walking away victorious at the end of this poll. Keep checking back for an update on the final results!
