New pictures of what is supposed to be Xavier Samuel in character as Riley from the set of Eclipse.

I’m not sure what to think of these pics. They were found over at TwiFans.com but they are also on a twitter account that is apparently Xavier’s (it has not been confirmed by anyone as of yet).

They could be real, and from the Eclipse set. Maybe they are from his attack scene (when Victoria turns him) or when he is attacking humans (their blood is all over his body)?

What do you think? Real? Fake? Discuss below!

[Thanks, Sparks!]

Lainey Gossip has the deets as to what they were filming -

I’m told exclusively that Xavier is working on what’s currently intended (at press time) to be the OPENING SCENE in Eclipse. “Riley” in human form is being terrorised down an alley in Seattle pursued by a sinister shadow which turns out to be “Victoria”. He cannot outrun her, she attacks him, and as you can see from the exclusive video below (from PUNKD Images) he writhes in pain from being bitten.

I think the video really explained what they were filming, but thanks for your input ValLaineyMort! (Thank you to TCA for the new nickname!)

Great work Xavier!! I can’t wait to see more of Eclipse : )

You can check out the rest of the pics here and over at RadarOnline!

VanCity Allie has another awesome report of her account at yet another Vancouver Eclipse set! This time – the Newborns have arrived Forks! Including Xavier Samuel (aka Riley) and Jodelle Ferland (aka Bree).

Allie gives all the deets (along with fantastic pictures)  -

I had a chance to see a new set being filmed for Eclipse… the scene where the newborns arrive in Forks. It’s a picturesque scene, with mountains and water framing the background of the shot, and a sparse unoccupied beach for the newborns to arrive on… then they disappear into the forest. The vampire newborns looked absolutely chilling, and their rugged military-like outfits along with steely, determined glares just added to the mood. Filmed early in the morning, this scene was designed to look as if it had been shot at night, possibly just after dusk or just before dawn.

Riley (Xavier Samuel) and Bree (Jodelle Ferland) were on set as well as a number of newborn vampires we have NEVER seen before.

I’m always amazed at what a huge production it is to film just a few seconds for these movies. Second Unit Director EJ Foerster was on set, calm but directive… doing dozens of different takes for only a couple scenes. An amazing number of people involved plus tons of equipment and hours of filming from so many different angles just to get a 5 second shot… wow. Check out all the equipment on the shore, including the scuba diving gear and the dinghys. You can also see some of the shorter fake trees they used in the foreground on the beach.

Check out more of her detailed account and pictures – after the break!

Lainey has new pictures of Eclipse Eviltastic  Vampire Bryce Dallas Howard. Out and about in Vancouver.

Also, Lainey once again gives us some more juicy Eclipse filming details -

As I reported yesterday filming has been mostly on a soundstage for scenes at “Bella’s” house. For you Twilight fans interested in what they’ve been up to:

Wednesday’s shoot involved a creepy Riley getting all stalkerish in Bella’s room and “Edward” the hero realising someone was there.
