Robert Pattinson promises shocks and scraps in Eclipse


TWILIGHT’S leading man Robert Pattinson reckons viewers will be “shocked” with the new film, Eclipse, directed by 30 Days Of Night filmmaker David Slade.
 ”It is much more action-oriented. It is much more frantic and there needs to be more immediacy about everything,” he said.

 ”The tone is a lot harsher. The fight scenes are much more scrappy and feral.”
 The 24-year-old, whose portrayal of the brooding vampire has transformed him into a heartthrob, says his character has become a changed man due to his romance with Bella.

 ”Edward has a different mindset in this one. He’s jealous and petty to other people. With Bella, he’s possessive,” he says.

 ”Even though the love triangle developed in New Moon, it’s much more present in Eclipse. Edward really has to fight with Jacob and feels like he has to prove himself to Bella.”

 In Eclipse, the third instalment in the saga, Bella’s life is threatened by an army of newly-turned vampires who are out to create havoc and are led by Riley (Xavier Samuel).

 As if fighting against an army of hungry blood-suckers is not enough, Edward – with his traditional values of celibacy before marriage – and Jacob also have to battle for Bella’s heart.

 The love triangle reaches a turning point and the warring vampire and werewolfhave to put their own rivalries aside to protect Bella from the newborns.

 Xavier Samuel says he is “relishing” being a villain. “Everyone hates you if you’re the villain, but it’s a lot of fun. I get to throw people off burning cars and smash into walls,” he said.

 Eclipse Facts:
 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse began filming in August 2009 in Vancouver and lasted 11 weeks.
Production designer Paul Austerberry had to get the right trees for the forest scenes: “They are quite specific-looking and people don’t really think about it, but it’s really hard to get a hold of those.”

 The Cullen house took approximately eight weeks to build.

 75,000 flowers, which took 15 days to install, were used in the meadow scenes between Edward and Bella.
 The campfire scene was one of the most toughest shoots, because of the constant heavy rain. Alex Meraz, who plays wolfpack member Paul, recalled: “It was a nightmare and it took forever.”
