VARIETY: TWILIGHT SEQUELS HEATING UP

by NewsBot on Jan.17, 2009, under Vampire News

Variety.com has a short new article addressing all the rumors surrounding ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse’. Read more below:

Don’t believe everything you hear about Twilight and its sequels. Things are heating up already on the third installment, Eclipse. They haven’t even started the second one yet, New Moon. When you’ve got a robust franchise, filmmakers are eager to get on board. Word is, the Spanish director of The Orphanage, Juan Antonio Bayona, and 3:10 to Yuma helmer James Mangold are both circling the project, but Summit insists that no meetings are scheduled as yet. Both would be strong choices. As to the last two unfilled roles in New Moon, vampires Jane and Aro, no offers have yet gone out, despite what you may have read. And the role of Leah Clearwater isn’t being filled, because according to writer Melissa Rosenberg, she isn’t in the script!

SOURCE Whether the rumors are true or not about a possibly new director for ‘Eclipse’, isn’t it soon to start talking about replacing Chris, when he was just hired? In any sense, I’m glad the rumors are Leah are untrue, but I still can’t wait to see who they cast for Jane and Aro!
