ECLIPSE INFO
According to EW.com Summit Entertainment has fired the Editor currently working onEclipse, and replaced them with the Editor from Twilight -
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 Twilight film. The studio is not placing blame on Jones, who previously worked with Eclipse 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.
“needed a stronger edit” Not sure how I feel about that statement! Either they think the material is crap, or it’s not what they expected (to risky, to scary, who knows!).
