David Slade
David Slade has revealed that Stephenie Meyer wasn't 'at all imposing' during Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
The writer of the hit novels was on set during the filming of the third movie in the franchise but director David Slade has admitted that she let the cast and crew just get on with shooting the movie.
He told Cinematical: "We had Stephenie Meyer with us. As far as a guide, she wasn't at all imposing; she sat there and she discussed things that she thought were a little bit out of what she knew as her own world, but essentially she left us alone, and to me that kind of lent its own integrity.
"So that was never a big concern to us."
"Unfortunately the concerns were really boring stuff, like oh God, it's going to rain today. Oh God, it's going to be sunny today, and we're filming Edward (Robert Pattinson), and we don't want him sparkling. It was really kind of mundane that way."
Slade takes over the directing reigns from Chris Weitz for the third instalment of the Twilight franchise, the third director in as many movies.
New Moon took over $700 million at the global box office when it was released last year and Eclipse looks set to do just as well as the film took over $30 million in the first midnight screenings of the film in America, breaking the record previously held by it's predecessor.
Twilight Saga: Eclipse is released 9th July.
