My first question... what does this mean for the release date?
The Entertainment Weekly article doesn't really answer this question, which I hope means they won't change it. I freaked out momentarily, but then I remembered, they already have the movie posters out in theaters and David Slade wouldn't do that to us. Maybe I am putting too much faith in Slade, but I get the impression he is a man who would rather stay up all night for weeks working than let us down.
Here is what Entertainment Weekly had to say...
"Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the uber-successful Twilight series, confirmed this morning that it has replaced Eclipse editor Art Jones with Nancy Richardson, the editor of Catherine Hardwicke’s original Twilight film. The studio is not placing blame on Jones, who previously worked with Eclipse director David Slade on his horror film 30 Days of Night as well as Slade’s Ellen Page-starrer Hard Candy. They do believe, however, that Slade’s material – which they call “very good” – needed a stronger edit. The studio has more confidence in Richardson, who they say understands the emotion of the characters and is an ace at balancing action with the other elements of the film."
Hey, if it makes the movie better, then I am all for it. Just pretty please don't push back the release date...
