Summit replaces editor on 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'
Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the uber-successful Twilight series, confirmed this morning that it has replaced Eclipse editor Art Jones with Nancy Richardson, the editor of Catherine Hardwicke’s original TwilightEclipse director David Slade on his horror film 30 Days of Night as well as Slade’s Ellen Page-starrer Hard Candy. They do believe, however, that Slade’s material – which they call “very good” – needed a stronger edit. The studio has more confidence in Richardson, who they say understands the emotion of the characters and is an ace at balancing action with the other elements of the film.
Richardson recently completed Miley Cyrus’ upcoming romantic drama The Last Song. Eclipse is scheduled to debut on June 30.
Okay, I am seriously TW-erved up about this. Obviously the suits didn't like what they saw of David's rough cut a couple of months ago--and that's terrifying to assume because Eclipse is my favorite book in the saga! At least we know the "very good" footage is in very good hands now with Nancy Richardson (Twilight).
PS Welcome back to the TW-ame EW.com! It's been forever since you guys posted anything Twi related. I know you had to chill a bit for all those TW-aters that complained about too many vamptastic covers last year. (No complaints here. More please...and soon!) EW even dropped the Twilight tab on their Special Coverage tabs. Good to see you haven't abandoned us.
