"Two years ago you&amp;#039;d be hard-pressed to find an average moviegoer who&amp;#039;d heard of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Now it&amp;#039;s impossible to escape the trio as their Twilight franchise propels them onto Hollywood&amp;#039;s A-list. Eclipse, the third film in the vampire saga, has a new director (30 Days Of Night&amp;#039;s David Slade) and an ever-expanding cast of vampires and werewolves to support Edward, Bella and Jacob.  When&amp;#039;s it out: June 30 in the US and July 9 in the UK. Who&amp;#039;s in it: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are back, as are series regulars Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, Michael Welch, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed and Peter Facinelli. Bryce Dallas Howard is a newcomer as evil vamp Victoria (replacing Rachelle Lefevre) and Cameron Bright and BooBoo Stewart will make their first franchise appearances. What&amp;#039;s it about: Shifting the action to Seattle, the story finds Bella, graduation getting ever closer, still facing romantic dilemmas as vampire Edward and werewolf Jacob vie for her affections. While the relationship drama is playing out, a spate of mysterious killings are occurring and a vengeful Victoria threatens Bella. After getting a shock proposal from Edward at the close of New Moon we thought things were going to be less rocky for Bella this time out - seemingly there&amp;#039;s little chance of a quiet life for Stephenie Meyers&amp;#039;s heroine! At The Movies verdict: We&amp;#039;re expecting the usual teen angst, swooning romance and indie soundtrack, but this time with some high-octane action and horror to get reluctant boys on board. Despite murmurs of discontent from Summit about David Slade, the British director has a cracking CV with Hard Candy and vampire jumper 30 Days Of Night behind him. It&amp;#039;ll also be intriguing to see just how the film sets up the two-part Breaking Dawn finale.  Leave your comments on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in the space below.
