A director has been announced for the third 'Twilight' film!
Summit Entertainment has confirmed that David Slade will direct 'Eclipse,' the third installment of the hugely popular franchise, which is set to hit theaters on June 30, 2010. Melissa Rosenberg, who has written the scripts for the first two films, will also pen 'Eclipse.'
The writer of the Twilight book series, Stephenie Meyer, said of the news, "I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing 'Eclipse.' He's a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise. From the beginning, we've been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga, and I'm so happy that 'Eclipse' will be carrying on with that tradition."
Slade directed the 2005 indie thriller 'Hard Candy,' and also helmed 2007 vamp flick '30 Days of Night.'
Production is currently underway on the second 'Twilight' film, 'New Moon,' in Vancouver, Canada, and ET was exclusively on the set. Check out ET's 'New Moon' exclusive here!
