Over the past few weeks, David Slade has begun to do a few interviews on the subject of his newest picture (which is, of course, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse).
Today, a new interview with Slade has been revealed by IGN, and he talked about a wide range of interesting tidbits related to the film, not the least of which was his perception of a secondary theme to this leg of the Saga.
"Besides the themes of the love triangle that we know from the Twilight films, there’s another theme – vengeance – and that is a theme that really delivers and pays off in this film," he said. "Edward destroyed Victoria’s love, and she wants vengeance, and vengeance is another word you would use generally with a romantic film, so I guess that sets up for this film having a lot more physical action in it, and one of my goals doing the script was to make Edward scary because he’s a vampire at the end of the day, you know, and there’s a carnivore beneath that surface. So, we went out and we had a lot of sequences that are all in the book geared toward just helping that character out, showing the potential of vampire as a killer. And in the end, particularly in a sequence, I don’t want to spoil it now, but he comes across as dangerous and that was one of the things I wanted to do."
Slade continued by praising Xavier Samuel's performance of the character RIley, which he regarded as one "going through emotional circles of how anxiety was close to rage and how rage was close to frenzy and how going out for your first kill you would be in all of these worlds, and of course this all has to translate to acting, so you get this incredibly frenzied performance."
