Slade getting back into vampire mode

David Slade, the Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night director, is already getting ready to sit into Summit Entertainment’s golden franchise at the moment, Twilight. Hopping in as the director for the third installment, Eclipse, he will be on a strict deadline with a June 30, 2010 release date. In other words, the already established filmmaker will have to kick his work immediately into high gear if he even wants to make a remotely appealing third movie to the Twilight saga.

“As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death.”

Currently the Twilight Saga: New Moon is full force through it’s initial filming, keeping track with it’s November 20th release. Melissa Rosenberg, writer of New Moon and Twilight, is well underway with penning Eclipse. With what is one of the most action packed story lines in the entire franchise, a choice like Slade could be worth it, only time will tell.
