"Los Angeles, CA April 22, 2009 - Summit Entertainment announced today
 that David Slade has been hired to direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE
from a screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, the third film in the studio's TWILIGHT film franchise
based on the Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster book series,
will be released theatrically in North America on Wednesday, June 30, 2010.
The announcement was made by Erik Feig, Summit's President of Production.

Meyer stated, "I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing ECLIPSE.
 He's a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise.
From the beginning, we've been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga,
and I'm so happy that ECLIPSE will be carrying on with that tradition."

Feig said, "Stephenie Meyer's ECLIPSE is a muscular, rich,
vivid book and we at Summit looked long and hard for a director who could do it justice.
We believe we have found that talent in David Slade,
a director who has been able to create complex, visually arresting worlds.
We cannot wait to see the ECLIPSE he brings to life and brings to the
 fans eagerly awaiting its arrival in summer of 2010."
