Yep. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON isn't even out yet, but in a few short days, the third chapter in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE begins shooting with director David Slade (30 DAYS OF NIGHT) at the helm. Bryce Dallas Howard was recently announced for the cast, and now Variety reports that young actress Jodelle Ferland has been cast as "a recently turned vampire". (Theories anyone?) She's already earned quite a list of genre credits which include SILENT HILL, THE MESSENGERS, SEED, THEY, an episode of SUPERNATURAL, BLOODRAYNE 2, CASE 39 & THE CABIN IN THE WOODS.



In THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
