Eclipse set: Riley runs from Victoria; and Breaking Dawn news

samuel eclipse 09oct09 19

Here is the latest from Lainey Gossip, who always seems to have the inside scoop on the Twi Saga filming in her home town of Vancouver. Be sure to click behind the jump for Breaking Dawn scoop and Riley set pics!

With the premiere of New Moon just a month away, the kids are gearing up for what’s expected to be a massive publicity campaign that will launch into overdrive as soon as Eclipse wraps at the end of October. Enjoy it while it lasts Vancouver. Because if things continue to roll the way they’ve been rolling, Twilight might not be coming back here.

The first movie was shot in Oregon. Oregon desperately wants Twilight to return for the 4th film and they’ve introduced major tax incentives etc to lure the production back. British Columbia on the other hand is getting pounded by Ontario and Quebec (other Canadian provinces with historically active film industries) as both have also pushed tax incentives forward in a bid to take back British Columbia’s business.

British Columbia however has not answered, has not presented incentives of its own to match the competition. As such, British Columbia has already lost out on several productions and now faces the probability of losing Twilight’s final installment.

The crews that are working on Eclipse also worked on New Moon. They were booked back to back well in advance, schedules held for both films. My sources tell me exclusively that the crew was informed weeks ago that they had the all clear to book new jobs when Eclipse wraps. The studio will NOT hold them for Breaking Dawn. I’m told that as of press time the intention is to begin production on the fourth and final in September. In Portland.

Things are fluid, of course. And it could change. But unless British Columbia changes its film tax structure, it’s more financially feasible for Summit to shoot elsewhere. Say goodbye Vancouver.

And next, we have some set pics of Xavier Samuel as Riley, running for his life. The is apparently the opening scene for Eclipse and will feature a human Riley, trying to escape Victoria. Clearly, he isn’t successful. Director David Slade also pictured.

See all the pics here.

You know I heart Xavier. And poor Riley…

    i really hope they do breaking dawn, they cant do three out of the 4, it just doesnt come to the right comclusion the books had, it would, as many people have said, would feel incomplete and also im veryyy curious as to how the produce breaking dawn
  • gabrieladhoy

    OHHH YEAHHH 24 he is SOOO OLDDD... NOT
    23 .. 24 who cares!!!??

  • jamii10
    awwwww....they have to do breaking dawn!! come on! =D
    i dont care if robert doesnt look like his age in the movie....becoz im already used to seeing him that way since the start...
  • nic3
    he is only going to be a year older in breaking dawn!
    why is everyone acting like he is going to be an old man?
    24 is NOT OLD!
    older people have played teenagers before...

    They have to do "Breaking Dawn". It would be lame if they don't. That's the best part of the series. They definitely should go back to OR for that.

    i dont know about the not holding the cast to the 4th movie. i dont think thats right. the cast should stay. no one will watch it if theres all new cast members. of course they cant re-cast edward and bella and jacob and alice and the rest of the gang. everyone LOVES them! they cant leave. thts like not even possible! they have to stay for the 4th movie! just the fact that victoria was changed for eclipse caused so much controversy! wht would happen if they replaced or edward? or bella? no one would watch anymore. they would think its a waste and not good. they would lose a lot of profit. and a lot of fans. u know wht im saying? they just cant do that.
  • It doesnt say anything about the cast, just the crew. I think your getting them confused.

    Personally I dont think they will do Breaking Dawn, I have a feeling about it. For example they dont even have a director, they had David slade even before Chris Weitz (new moon).

    Rob aging doesnt bother me, as in Buffy the Vampire Angel 20 year old at the begining when David was 28 and on the last season of buffy when he reappears his still playing a twenty year old and is actually 37 so i have no worries.

    Im just hoping they decide to do it as i will always feel like the saga is incomplete, please melissa, get writing and summit please find a director, or please bring chris back, i seriously love him (more than rob) lol.

    peace out fanpires :)
  • wesrider
    last night chaske said they are, but they arent sure when (yes, i spoke to him personally!)
  • I think they will do breaking dawn. The actors may be burnt out on the twilught saga but as long as summit as major cash coming in from the franchise they will do the fourth book just as soon as they iron out all the details. Those things, like renesme aging and the pregnancy can be done.
  • he is sooo fit :) :) yummy :P
  • Kayla
    Mm...Rob will be very old by then, and still playing a 17 year old immortal. Even in New Moon he looks like a 23 year old.
  • nic3
    he will be what? 24?
    that's hardly ancient
    and it's a year older than he is now.
    i doubt he will age dramatically in a year.
    september is less than a year away actually.

    you make it sound like edward will be middle aged in a year.
    seriously not to be mean...just think a little okay??
  • zehava
    Riley is cute XDD
  • heatty
    I love this idea of Riley running from Victoria as the opening scene. Different to the book it sounds really good. Really sets the mood.
  • glad they've 'confirmed' breakings dawn my favourite book :)
    i can wait a year . . . .
    i think . . . .
  • So if production starts in september next yr that gives us about a summer opening in 2011. A yr between eclipse and breaking dawn is not so bad. I have waited longer for sequels. and in the mean time we will have twilight and new moon on dvd and eventually eclipse on dvd. They will have to hold me over, lol.
  • nic3
    i know and they start filming in september...
    that's less than a year from now.
    so why are people saying rob will be too old?
    ridiculous.
  • Dazzled by Edward
    That is exactly my thinking... enough on DVD to hold me over until the final release. They may be creating a minor delay to build the enthusiasm... not that it is necessary. I hope they decide to make the final into 2 movies!
