Want screencaps? Eclipsemovie.org has your covered!

You remember those steam leaked Eclipse photos we posted a few weeks ago? Well, it looks like "steamy" is going to be the flavor of the film. Digital Spy got the word from our New Moon man, Weitz

Weitz directed New Moon, the second movie in the franchise, but told People that he has read the script for Eclipse.

He admitted that he is particularly excited about seeing the tent scene, in which Bella climbs into a sleeping bag with Jacob while Edward looks on.

"I'm looking forward to the sleeping bag scene, I gotta say," Weitz explained. "That's going to be very steamy."

What steamy scene are you looking forward to? Let us know below!

Twilight at the Academy Awards!

Doesn't KStew look stunning? I really adore that dress!

Anna Kendrick before the show

Anna Kendrick & Kristen made The Best Dressed list at MTV!
Are you surprised? Not I. Kristen looked amazing in that black gown. Anna is consistently fashionably charming

We weren’t as surprised by our love for Anna Kendrick’s romantic Elie Saab gown though. Anna has always been one of our red carpet favorites and the Oscars were no different. We loved the color of the dress, the draping, slit and of course makeup.

Anna’s “New Moon” co-star Kristen Stewart also wore a dark color, midnight blue, and while we haven’t always loved Kristen’s style, we couldn’t stop gushing over her fabulous Oscars look. The black strapless Monique Lhuillier dress looked great on Kristen and we thought the decision to go with a classic up-do was totally on point. Our one gripe? We would have loved to see more bling. But we won’t hold that against her, especially since she did such a good job of holding her posture for the pictures!

Chriz Weitz's 5 Things about New Moon You (yes, even you!) Probably didn't know

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Even thought Weitz has admitted the one thing he'd do differently is change the Vamp Bella & Edward running through the forest scene, RPattz has something to say to all the haters out there.

“I didn’t like the way New Moon was treated by the critics. I think it was reviewed in the context of just being a big franchise movie. When something is so hyped, inevitably, there is a backlash against it. I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director. I really enjoyed the film. So the naysayers kind of annoyed me." (Twilight Lexicon)

As you might know by now, Weitz will not be directing Breaking Dawn. However, he has some interesting suggestions! According to EWonline,

Who do you think should direct the films?

I love Martin Scorsese, I love Wes Anderson, I love Michael Winterbottom. I'm not sure any of them would feel like this is their next best step, to direct a film in the Twilight series.

Those are some stellar suggestions! But who do you think would be a good fit to direct Breaking Dawn? Let us know below!

Not only will Weitz be absent from the fourth volume in the saga, but most of the cast agree that Breaking Dawn shouldn't be in 3-D. While 3-D seems to accompany nearly every recent release (especially those with a fantasy tilt), no one seems to think it'll be a good fit for the final chapter. Ok! Magazine has collected some cast responses:

Anna Kendrick: “I’m still undecided about 3-D, personally,” Anna told MTV News about whether she’d want to film Breaking Dawn in 3-D. “But obviously they don’t consult me personally on whether or not Breaking Dawn is going to be in 3-D.”

Kellan Lutz: "3-D kind of hurts my eyes anyways,” he said. “Avatar was amazing in 3-D and in IMAX, but I don’t think I wanna see a little baby half-vampire in 3-D. There’s just some scenes I just wouldn’t want to see in 3-D.”

Robert Pattinson: "The 3-D thing confuses me,” Rob explained. “I haven’t seen Avatar or any of these 3-D movie things yet. The idea of it… I remember 3-D movies from when I was a kid, and I can just picture it giving me a headache.”

Thanks to newmoonmovie.org, check out this clip of the commentary that will be available with Comcast's ONDemand

Comcast will have The Twilight Saga: New Moon On Demand beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, March 20 – the same day as the DVD release but HOURS before most retailers are even open. AND, only Comcast customers will be able to view never-before-seen commentary from director Chris Weitz on a number of favorite ‘New Moon’ scenes such as: Bella’s birthday party, Bella’s cliff dive, when Bella rescues Edward in Italy and when Bella first meets the Volturi. Attached is a teaser clip from the exclusive director’s commentary for you to preview. The clip is from a scene between Bella and Jacob.

When Twilight was first released on DVD last year, we made it available at 12:01 a.m. the same day it was released on DVD, which led to our biggest rental weekend as well as Twilight being the most rented movie On Demand of 2009. We anticipate a big response from the same say as DVD release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon On Demand as well. We’ll also have Twilight available on Showtime On Demand if people want to make a night out of it
