The Eclipse soundtrack is another compilation of indie-music darlings like Vampire Weekend and Sia, and it adds just the right note of angst and longing to accompany the high-stakes, high-drama proceedings (let's not pretend anyone actually thought any of these main characters would actually die - that's just not Meyer's style).Īs with any adaptation, not everything from the book makes the transition to the screen - here, that means far less of the wolf pack, which is a shame, since their thought-sharing abilities and the inclusion of a female wolf, Leah (Julia Jones), are some of best parts of the Eclipse book.

At the beginning of Eclipse, Edward tries to keep Bella from seeing Jacob "for her own safety," but she "defies" his wishes and hangs out with Jacob (who's obviously in love with her) anyhow. The third adaptation based on Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally popular Twilight book series, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE settles once and for all whether Bella Swan ( Kristen Stewart) prefers her men primal and hot ( Taylor Lautner's werewolf Jacob Black) or perfect and cool ( Robert Pattinson's vampire Edward Cullen). ![]()
