David Slade’s Naturalistic Cinematography
It’s been clear through Slade’s on-set Tweets that the man has an eye for gorgeous photography; that sensibility is evident in the way he’s chosen to film Eclipse, with naturalistic cinematography unlike both Catherine Hardwicke’s lo-fi Twilight and Chris Weitz’s crisp and polished New Moon. The landscapes we see in the trailer, all mountains and sparkling rivers and muted light peeking through the clouds, emphasize the setting of Eclipse’s big showdown (without a single glimpse of Victoria’s new hunting ground, Seattle) with location filming that looks fantastically authentic.
The Volturi Come to Forks
Hardcore Twilighters know that Jane (Dakota Fanning) and Co. only briefly show up in Eclipse, but their appearance in the trailer emphasizes the Volturi as a constant threat throughout the film. We may not actually see them until the end, but it’s nice to know there’ll be more of Dakota’s sinister Jane, who is incidentally rocking some new blue eye makeup.
Quotes from the Book are Worked in Naturally
In this 90-second trailer alone we get a handful of familiar quotes from the book, which should delight those who know Eclipse by heart. Thankfully, lines like “I’ll be there when your heart stops beating” sound a LOT more natural than lines about lions falling in love with lambs.
