Though there's nearly a year left before the film's release, and the dirt hasn't even been shifted on production for the film yet, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is already being recognized as a source of 'formidable competition' for 2010's summer film schedule.A recent Variety article highlighted an up-coming Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider, and David Spade film entitled Grown Ups, which is set for release on June 25, 2010.
In the article, Variety states that "[f]ormidable competition should come with the opening five days later on June 30 of Summit's 'Twilight: The Eclipse.' Paramount's 'The Last Airbender,' from M. Night Shyamalan, follows on July 2."
Apparently, then, Twilight fans aren't the only ones who can predict the future success of the Twilight film saga. Though The Twilight Saga: New Moon has yet to be released, it will undoubtedly reign as one of the most (if not the most) successful of the year.
That said, it is no surprise that a source like Variety would foresee the future of the franchise and note Eclipse as a worthy adversary for summer films such as Grown Ups next summer.
Though we don't have any Eclipse countdowns, yet, the people from NewMoonMovie.org have already created a new site EclipseMovie.org, which has this fan-made poster (by SsGirlo on DeviantArt) and this fan-made trailer, amongst other things.

I so hope Eclipse is actually released on this day. My 26th birthday will be the day before (June 24th). A midnight showing with my girls will be the PERFECT birthday celebration!!! Since we are "unstoppable," I'm sure we will come up with more hilarious quotes!
ReplyDeleteOh wait! It is scheduled for June 30th...nevermind...lol. Well...June 30th is still a great day. It will be the one year anniversary of us meeting Peter Facinelli! :)
ReplyDeleteLMAO KDub#2.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the last Airbender movie it's going up against. That's Jackson Rathbone's new movie.
oooh, I like it! I will not be satisfied until I have all four movies in my home DVD collection!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until next month when they start filming Eclipse so all of these stupid Rob and Emily rumors can stop and we can see what Robsten has in store for us. Hurry up July!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen Jessrae

'Jessrae' yes!!! Can you wait for the cast to reassemble in Van-city for 'Eclipse'?!? Oh wow, so much to read about then!
ReplyDeleteAll those covering it, will be watching for how Rob and Kristen act around each other. And for MIA Nikki to reappear. And Ashley was just quoted as saying she has a celebrity crush on Jackson. [Awww, I so want them to be a couple. They looked so cute in candid pics on set, while filming 'Twilight.']
What fun it will be, to follow all the chatter, after the cast reassembles.
