Fans of the Twilight franchise will get a chance to celebrate the release of Eclipse under the shadow of a real eclipse.
Looking to ramp up anticipation for the third instalment in the Stephenie Meyer vampire series, and thank the multitude of fans for their undying support of the undead, Summit Entertainment in the U.S. and Canada’s E1 entertainment are staging a series of free open-air screenings on Saturday.
The date marks the first lunar eclipse of the year, according to NASA, which estimates the Earth’s shadow will pass over the moon “east of the Lagoon Nebula” and be visible to most of the Americas, weather permitting.
“What are the odds that we’d be able to celebrate the release of Eclipse with a real eclipse?” said Charlene Coy, director of publicity for Toronto-based E1, Twilight’s Canadian distributor.
Though Eclipse will only hit theatres June 30, the free events will feature door prizes from the new movie, a “turn-yourself-into-a-vampire” booth and a free screening of the preceding chapter in the series, New Moon.
“The fans of Twilight have been so loyal, that we wanted to give them something back,” Coy said.
Coy said events are taking place all across North America, but only two Canadian cities — Toronto and Vancouver — will get the free party.
The Vancouver event will take place at Wolfson Field at UBC Thunderbird Park (doors open at 6 p.m. and the screening takes place at 9 p.m), while Toronto’s is located at Harbourfront Centre’s Sirius Stage (doors also open at 6 p.m. and the screening takes place at 9 p.m.).

From Hollywood Crush:

Hollywood Crush and MTV.com will be providing an “Eclipse” premiere LIVE STREAM from the red carpet at the Nokia Theater on that hotly anticipated Thursdaynight (June 24 is only nine days away!). With MTV New’s Josh Horowitz — and an accompanying camera crew — on a special platform interviewing all the famous faces as they go by, you’ll be able to watch all the action and fashion as it happens. It doesn’t get much better than this … uh unless of course we figure out a way to make our telecast 3-D. Wishful thinking!
I found this great article the only role they did was forgot was Rob’s role in The Rings of the Nibelungs.
Robert Pattinson may be the heart throb of teen girls everywhere but just a few years ago he was a struggling actor just looking to find his break in Hollywood. In The Many Faces of Robert Pattinson we take a look at his career the roles he has played and where he is going from here.
Despite the fact that many think that Robert Pattinson is nothing more then a teen heart throb his young career clearly shows that he is much about films with substance as he is about being a star. Twilight has made Robert a household name but believe it or not Robert Pattinson has played much more then just a vampire.

Vanity Fair: Robert Pattinsons first role was in Vanity Fair where he played Rawdy Crawley in a small role. Vanity Fair based in Elizabethan times is about a poor woman named Becky Sharp ( played by Reese Witherspoon ) who despite growing up in poverty defies the social ladder to advance her life. It follows the span of 20 years.

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire: After Vanity Fair Robert had a few small roles but his next big one was Harry Potter which is quite ironic considering he goes on to be the lead in the teen sensation of Twilight which is really a successor to Harry Potter in my books. Robert Pattinson played the role of Cedric Diggory one of 2 Hogwarts Champions in the Triwizard Tournaments.

The Haunted Airman: After Harry Potter Robert Pattinson took on a much more serious role in The Haunted Airman where he played an injured RAF pilot named Toby Jugg who confined to a wheelchair who is committed to an eerie hospital where he starts to lose his mind.
