Here is a Breaking News! The director of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has been announced. The film will be directed by David Slade. Earlier Slade has directed three films: “30 Days of Night,” “Hard Candy,” and “Do Geese See God?

Slade is quite a popular name in the Hollywood entertainment world. Besides being a film maker, Slade holds the credit for directing several music videos for some popular bands including Stone Temple Pilots and System of a Down.

The announcement was made by Erik Feig, Summit Entertainment’s President of Production. He clearly stated that David will be directing Eclipse from a screenplay written by Melissa Rsenberg. Eclipse, the 3rd book of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire saga is now all set to hit the screen on June 30th, 2010.

Stephenie has been quoted as saying in an interview that she is really “thrilled that David Slade will be directing Eclipse.  He’s a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer the franchise“. She also didn’t forget to praise the team and said that she feels the they are lucky to have a “wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga“.

Stephenie’s Eclipse is a muscular, rich, vivid book“, said Erik Feig. Drew Barrymore was earlier considered to direct the film. But Feig went on to say they “believe they have found that talent in David Slade, a director who has been able to create complex, visually arresting worlds“. He also said that since Eclipse is one of the most significant and graphic books of the Twilight series there are a lot of tough materials that would be difficult to transform from print to screen. Feig considers Slade to be someone with a “darker imagination” and thus would fit the role the best.

In the 3rd film of the Twilight series, Bella will be found constantly fenced by danger as mysterious murders take place all over Seattle while a vixenish and violent vmpire continues her quest for revenge. While saving her life she is forced to choose between her love for Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, and her friendship with Jacob.

The biggest question now that arises is that can David Spade bring justice to this awe-inspiring third installment of Twilight?
