@Twilight tweeted a new message from David Slade this afternoon expressing his thanks to the fans for their support.
When you put your heart and soul into something as intense as the duration of a film production, you become completely lost in it. You focus on doing your very best to get it right each day and you work on this for so long that you assume an ownership of it.
When shooting The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, I always felt an awareness of how many people this film would reach and as a result, knew that this film did not just belong to myself, the producers and the studio, but more so, to all of you, the fans of The Twilight Saga.
At the end of the day, after all the hard work is done, all that's left is the film itself, and your overwhelmingly positive and supportive responses have made me feel like we must have done something right. As a filmmaker, this is a rare and strange feeling of connection with an audience of which I will never forget and I thank you all for it.
DAVID SLADE
JULY 2010 Like I said in my review, I think we need to be sending thank you notes to David Slade! He sent us a wonderful love letter, then topped that by giving us a film that we all can take pride in. I may have had initial reservations about him as the director of Eclipse, but I am now one of his biggest fans! I think I speak for most of us when I say, Mr. Slade, you are so very welcome!
