Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen in a screen grab from David Slade’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. I’m not sure what moment this is. Edward is talking to Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), and whatever it is he’s telling her, he doesn’t look very happy. (Pattinson’s excessive white makeup makes his character look even more distraught.)
Bella and Edward could be discussing Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), always a touchy subject; the vindictive vampire Victoria’s desire to annihilate Bella; an army of newborn vampires wreaking havoc in Seattle; the Volturi, vampire royalty that wants to see Bella either vampirized or very dead; or their incompatible future together as an interspecies couple.
To say that Edward and Bella are star-crossed lovers would be quite an understatement.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens in the United States and other countries on June 30. Melissa Rosenberg adapted Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel.
Also in the Eclipse cast: Bryce Dallas Howard (as Victoria), Kellan Lutz, Xavier Samuel (as one of the powerful but inexperienced newborn vampires), Dakota Fanning (as one of the Volturi), Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Gil Birmingham, Kirsten Prout, Jodelle Ferland, Michael Welch, Cameron Bright, Anna Kendrick, and Catalina Sandino Moreno.
Don’t get me wrong I love Edward and Bella and all of Twilight, but I do think it is a rare shot when he doesn’t look ticked off.
