'Eclipse' Stars Get 'Dolled Up' as Action Figures

Want to cuddle up with a Cullen? Now you can with NECA's new action figure collection for Eclipse. The collection includes two series, the first of which is now available in stores and online.

Series 1 includes Edward Cullen, Jacob Black and Victoria dolls, which are being sold as a set for $51.99 or individually for $13.99. Series 2 will include Bella Swan and Rosalie Hale, as well as another Edward and Jacob action figure, only this time Edward will be more casual and Jacob will be shirtless.

If you're more loyal to the Barbie brand, you're in luck. Mattel will finally be releasing their Victoria and Alice dolls on August 23, adding to their already available Bella, Edward and Jacob Barbie collection.

What do you think of NECA's new Eclipse action figures pictured? Do they look like Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Bryce Dallas Howard? Will you be buying any of the dolls from the first series or are you holding out for the second?

 

Go Behind the Scenes of Metric's 'Eclipse (I'm Yours)' Video

Remember when we showed you the video for Metric's 'Eclipse (I'm Yours)'? Well, now you can see just how they filmed it in this sweet behind-the-scenes clip from the band's shoot.

As we previously reported, Metric's track is also the theme song for the third installment in the Twilight series. The band was approached by film composer Howard Shore to be a part of the project, not only for being such a great artists, but because he thought they could offer a unique perspective.

Singer Emily Haines explains, "[Howard] just called and said, 'I want you to write the theme song as a part of the score.' He's like, 'What i'm attracted to is Metric, but it's not about it representing Metric, it's about you embodying the voice of Bella.'"

Although the music video is laced with scenes from Eclipse, Metric braved the cold to shoot their scenes sans Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Emily even got up super early on the days she wasn't shooting just to hang and show her support for her bandmates! Get the full behind-the-scenes look after the jump. The Eclipse soundtrack is available in stores and on iTunes now.

 

Bella and Edward Take Over Metric's 'Eclipse (All Yours)' Video

Want to relive Eclipse all over again? Metric recently released a video for their track, 'Eclipse (All Yours),' which includes plenty of footage from the film. We wouldn't expect anything less, considering it's the theme song of the movie.

"It was one of the most interesting experiences of my musical life so far," singer Emily Haines said about working with Eclipse composer Howard Shore on the soundtrack. "He handpicked us to write a song with him for the last scene of the film."

The video begins with Emily, writing notes and lyrics down in a small cabin. A shot of Bella and Edward appears on the TV screen in the corner of the room and we're transported into the world of Twilight. We see many scenes from the film -- everything from the wolf pack, Victoria making that huge leap and, of course, plenty of Bella/Edward/Jacob action -- while the Canadian four-piece is set in a Forks-like forest.

 

Will 'Breaking Dawn' in 3-D Become Big Screen TMI?

Bella giving birth in 3-D too much for you to stomach? Brace yourself then because it could happen.

"I think [what] Summit has been discovering -- as they've been seeing the 3-D material and the ease we've been able to work with it -- is that it's an incredibly viable format to work in," says director Patrick Lussier, who has previously worked with the movie studio behind the Twilight franchise.

So is it safe for us to assume Breaking Dawn will be shot in 3-D then? "That decision has yet to be made," the studio's distribution chief Richard Fay spills. "It's still the source of a discussion. A big factor is the perception of our audience. What are their feelings going to be? If it lends itself to being a better movie because of 3-D, then that's the technology we'll use."

Meanwhile, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is dishing details of her plan for Breaking Dawn's script. "The childbirth -- all the scenes, I feel -- should be on-screen. Would we actually see Edward's teeth through the placenta? I don't think so. I don't think we need to see that."

 

'Breaking Dawn' Won't Come with R-Rating

Underage Twi-hards, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Summit has no plans to make Breaking Dawn R-rated, despite the racier content in this book than Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse.

Distribution chief Richie Fay spills, "I don't see it ever becoming an R-rated movie. The middle road we have to travel is a mutual respect as to staying true to the book, but not turning off your audience."

Sounds right on target with what many of you thought about making an R-rated film. One JSYK reader said, "No. no. no. no. this is a horrible idea. more than half of twilight fans are under 18. i'm guessing most of these will either have to sneak in or not watch breaking dawn. they are going to lose sooo many customers if it is rated R."

Good news: The movie house behind Breaking Dawn is listening to you.

 

Jodelle Ferland On Her Eclipse Role: 'There Was No Way I Was Going To Say No'


Jodelle Ferland is creating buzz as Bree Tanner in Eclipse, you know, the #1 movie in the country that we've all seen at least twice now. We caught up with the 15-year-old, who confessed she's on Team Edward "most of the time," on the phone last month and discovered that not only did she read all the Twilight books back-to-back, but she signed on for the role of Bree without even reading the script! We also asked her about her plans for the Eclipse premiere black carpet.

"Oh yeah, I have a dress ready," she told us before the premiere. "And I'm very excited for it. I always like to have a dress in my closet that I can just pull out in case of an emergency. I bought a dress a while ago and I'm pretty sure I don't have anything else I'll need a fancy dress for before the premiere so that could be what I'm wearing. It's a pretty light color."

Not sure if the dress in the photo above is the light-colored dress she was talking about, it's light underneath the black lace, or if she switched dresses at the last minute. Keep reading for more of our Q&A with Jodelle and let us know what you thought of her Eclipse performance in the comments. Too bad she got killed in the movie, but maybe Summit will make a movie of The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (someone start an online petition).


Is it true you didn't read the Eclipse script before you signed on to play Bree?
Normally when I do movies I usually read the script before I do it, but before 'Eclipse' I had a good idea of what the script would be like because I read the boolks and there was just no way I was going to say no. As soon as I found out I got the part and started to prep for the movie, I was allowed to read it.
