That's a wrap! "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" adaptation finishes filming & moves into post-production!

Filming of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" is over.

The third movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga books now moves into post-production.

Director David Slade says filming officially wrapped at approximately 4:30am this morning (Thursday, October 29th), writing on his Twitter page that he is "physically and emotionally exhausted."


The final day of filming (Spoiler Alerts ahead) included a romantic interlude between Bella and Edward, in which she tries to seduce him. Lainey Gossip posted on Twitter:

"A closed set, poetry, seduction, and she tries to take her shirt off."The scene comes directly from Chapter 20 "Compromise" in Eclipse. In the book, Bella is spending the night alone with Edward at his family's home (her father Charlie is under another impression). They have agreed to spend the night focused on each other -- and not the other forces threatening their happiness (a love triangle, a lethal vampire out for revenge, a newborn army, the Volturi, etc.). Bella -- while still agreeing to these terms -- also has something else on her mind. Sex. She's inexperienced and awkward, but she sets out to spend the night with Edward and seduce him. Edward, being the respectable young man he is (raised in the early 20th century and all) doesn't really catch on to Bella's ploy until, as mentioned above, she tries to rip her shirt off.

The scene is romantic, sexy and endearing -- but more importantly, it also leads our two main characters towards a very critical conversation. It's here that they compromise (hence the name of the chapter title) on a few sticking points in their relationship. Yes, Bella agrees (finally!) to marry Edward. And yes, Edward agrees to turn her into a vampire. And most importantly -- he agrees to at least try consumating their relationship while she is still human (albeit after becoming his wife).

Chapter 20 also provides fans an actual, heartfelt marriage proposal from Edward:

"Isabella Swan?" He looked up at me through his impossibly long lashes, his golden eyes soft but, somehow, still scorching. "I promise to love you forever -- every single day of forever. Will you marry me?" (Eclipse, Meyer, pg. 460.)
