New Moon and Eclipse release dates leaked

First things first. The upcoming movies, “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” will be now part of “The Twilight Saga.”  Fair enough. It’s a long name, but those who haven’t read the books need to know the movies are a continuation of Twilight.

Now on to the good news, artwork and release dates have been leaked online for “New Moon” and “Eclipse.” It appears “New Moon” will be hitting theatres on November 20, 2009, while Eclipse will be out the following Summer on June 30, 2010.

MTV  News has confirmed the news:

“Yes, it’s true,” a source at Summit Entertainment confirmed to MTV News Friday evening (February 20). ” ‘The Twilight Saga’s Eclipse’ is dated for Wednesday, June 30, 2010.”

The synopsis has also been leaked:

“As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger,” the plotline explains of the film based on Stephenie Meyer’s “Eclipse” novel.

“In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death.”

Oh yes! I can’t wait to see them both, although I wouldn’t put my money on that June release date for “Eclipse.” It sounds a little too rush unless they’re being filmed and edited simultaneously by different directors, which is a possibility.  Many of the characters, including Rob Pattinson, are barely in “New Moon” so I don’t see why they wouldn’t be filming the rest of the saga while Jacob chases after Bella in LaPush.  I’m crossing my fingers on this though, although I’m not sure I want to see the end of the Twilight Saga happen so darn quickly.  This is a story you don’t want see come to an end.

What do you guys think?
