Posted above is the new promotional image that Summit Entertainment has released for the Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Also making news this wee are the rumors about the Eclipse re-shoots.
According to some rumors, there is a rift between Summit Entertainment and director David Slade, which has prompted these re-shoots. Several key scenes are going to be re-shot including fight scenes. Aside from that, the shoot is going to be a grueling 18-hour shoot for three day.
GossipCop went to Summit Entertainment to clear out the rumors and here is what they have to say:
First, regarding the implication that these reshoots were unexpected, an authorized rep for the studio tells Gossip Cop, “The reshoot was planned for months, like it is with the majority of films.”
Let Gossip Cop settle some other false rumors.
Contrary to today’s inaccurate speculation, “creative differences” have not led Summit to consider bringing in another director for the reshoots.
David Slade is 100% directing them, like he did the entire movie, and the studio is “very happy” with his direction of the film, which internally some say could be the best of the series.
As for the timing, speculation that there will be three rushed days of 18-hour shoots is incorrect. The Summit rep tells Gossip Cop that it’s a two-and-a-half to three-day shoot, and that “very little” actually has to be reshot.
But the biggest misconception concerned the specific scenes alleged to be those inneed of a reshoot. The rep confirms to Gossip Cop, “None of the meadow or action scenes are being reshot.”
Asked to comment on today’s alarmist rumors, the authorized rep for the studio tells Gossip Cop, “Reports much like the one earlier today are ploys to drive traffic without any merit and without any support from the studio on what is actually going on or true.”
