I am so glad Eclipse will be made into a movie. There is so much in Eclipse, its the best book other than Breaking Dawn. Of course I love the whole series. Cant wait to see all the movies and collect them
A loyal Twilighter Thru and Thru. Love you Stephenie Meyer for writing such a compelling series.

I am thrilled at this news!!!! Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun also deserve their own movies. (Although, admittedly, MS might have to go directly to video for the harder core fanbase to sit with two monitors while both the Twilight and Midnight Sun movies run. Hey, I had to do it with the books: why not the movies?) Speculation among our little fan group around here was that New Moon and Eclipse would be consolidated into one movie: I am VERY glad that did not happen. It would have been all too easy to do, but we would have lost a lot of the story in the process. Best of luck to the frachise, and especially to Stephenie Meyer.
