‘ECLIPSE’ FILMING UPDATE: RAIN, RILEY AND BELLA’S HOUSE
We have tidbits of all kinds coming in today for an Eclipse update for you. Yesterday David Slade tweeted a picture of the crew in rain. Today Lainey is reporting some major spoilers from the Eclipse set that focus on Riley and also some big news concerning the possible future filming of Breaking Dawn. Malicious Mandy has some set updates from different Eclipse locations. Read more below:
From David Slade we have some notes on rain:
And the crew in the rain!

Lainey Gossip has some pictures of Xavier Samuel filming as Riley, but they have some spoilers so you can view them here. Not exactly Eclipse news, but Lainey also has some interesting news regarding the possible future filming on Breaking Dawn, and how it could be coming back to the USA:
The first movie was shot in Oregon. Oregon desperately wants Twilight to return for the 4th film and they’ve introduced major tax incentives etc to lure the production back. British Columbia on the other hand is getting pounded by Ontario and Quebec (other Canadian provinces with historically active film industries) as both have also pushed tax incentives forward in a bid to take back British Columbia’s business.British Columbia however has not answered, has not presented incentives of its own to match the competition. As such, British Columbia has already lost out on several productions and now faces the probability of losing Twilight’s final installment.
The crews that are working on Eclipse also worked on New Moon. They were booked back to back well in advance, schedules held for both films. My sources tell me exclusively that the crew was informed weeks ago that they had the all clear to book new jobs when Eclipse wraps. The studio will NOT hold them for Breaking Dawn. I’m told that as of press time the intention is to begin production on the fourth and final in September. In Portland.
Things are fluid, of course. And it could change. But unless British Columbia changes its film tax structure, it’s more financially feasible for Summit to shoot elsewhere. Say goodbye Vancouver.
Last we have a picture from Malicious Mandy of Bella’s house, you can view more from Mandy here.
Did you like these Eclipse updates? Are you surprised that filming for Breaking Dawn could possibly come back to the USA?
