Eclipse Director David Slade Badmouths Twilight: “Just Shoot Me”

Eclipse 200905040733 Eclipse Director David Slade Badmouths Twilight: Just Shoot Me david slade David Slade, who was recently announced to be at the helm of the sequel to New Moon, Eclipse, was on the radio in November and offered some pretty brutal comedy about Twilight. The host asks Slade to tell a joke he had apparently posted at some point on Twitter–

…and so yesterday we were trying to find a movie to see and we’d seen all the good ones, you know, and there was nothing really coming out this weekend that we really fancied at all and having directed a vampire film and really gone for something completely different to the kind of romantic, you know, repressed hormone teen vampire movie we really weren’t interested in seeing Twilight but a lot of people said lets go so I wrote -

“Twilight drunk? No, not even drunk. Twilight on acid? No, not even on acid? Twilight at gun point? Just shoot me.”

[That’s like] a poem in a way [...] at this point excites me even though people think I’m a really violent and unpleasant person I actually do have this romantic violent side to me. Maybe I should have seen Twilight.

Granted, the (very hyped) host does have to ask Slade for the Twilight bit twice after he admits people may be offended by it, but you’ve got to wonder how different Eclipse will be from Twilight after these harsh words came from Slade.

Listen to the audio at Slashfilm.

[thanks, Rachael!]

I would have been pretty angry if he hadn't cleared things. I'm sure he'll make a great director for Eclipse!

yeah because i know i was freaking out when i say the new moon trailer and saw that the flooring in the paper cut scene was carpet instead of tile….i know its one little deviation but to me that's kind of important. The little details count too.

Hope the future director really does stay true to the book because that's what made us all fall in love with the “twilight Saga” in the first place.

Team Jacob!
TWILOVER96

Yeah not to be picky and stuff but if that's the way you prefer it then that's you, no one can make you be different i saw that too and was like what!! but still i dont think that means the movie will be bad! Sorry but im TEAM EDWARD!! sorry =D

TWILOVER96

True we both win!! Months from now we will be in theaters watching NEW MOON with our men!! Lol jk but seriously take jake if you want he is all yours…

david slade is an arse. I would have respected him a tinge if he just turned down eclipse, seeing as how he thinks poorly of twilight. another typical social climbing prick, looking to do a high profile movie. eclipse won't be good becasue it has a director who doesn't hold regard for twilight and its subsequent volumes. he's already on record for trivializing the firs movie -then he turns around an dsigns upvto do the third one becasue of the sereis' popularity. I call than hypocrisy and selling out. you're a sell-out david slade. And (no joke) you look like my ex's ugly big toe – no lies….
Ha ha ha!

LOL Angry! He looks lke a fetus with a beard!
Peanut_Butter21

same here! Catherine is a terrible director….she totally screwed twilight up! the only reason people bother watching the movie was because of the actors -mainly robert pattinson and taylor lautner….
if it werent for them, i dont think anyone would bother watching the movie and it would be a complete fail.

Hair loss or Alopecia is a problem most of us are facing on a daily basis. Some studies say that men tend to “get” balder faster or that stress contributes to this problem or plainly we're just born with it – carried by genes that is. Nevertheless when it comes to hairloss or caderea parului we have to agree that women suffer the most and spend up a fortune to get rid of this problem. The thing is most products aren't even half good as they are marketed so what's a woman to do ? I think that natural remedies (using eggs and aloe vera) can help your hairloss problem but if people don't start eating and living healthy there's no stop to this issue.
