A Thank You note from David Slade on Facebook

I just got a post on my Facebook Wall from The Twilight Saga (the Official Twilight Series Fan Page on Facebook), entitled, "Thank You" - David Slade. The post is directed to us fans:

"Thank You" - David Slade

Today at 9:47am
When you put your heart and soul into something as intense as the duration of a film production, you become completely lost in it. You focus on doing your very best to get it right each day and you work on this for so long that you assume an ownership of it.

When shooting The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, I always felt an awareness of how many people this film would reach and as a result, knew that this film did not just belong to myself, the producers and the studio, but more so, to all of you, the fans of The Twilight Saga.

At the end of the day, after all the hard work is done, all that's left is the film itself, and your overwhelmingly positive and supportive responses have made me feel like we must have done something right. As a filmmaker, this is a rare and strange feeling of connection with an audience of which I will never forget and I thank you all for it.

And thank you, David Slade, for making this film for us! You did a great job!

Note from David Slade on Facebook

I just read an eloquent note from David Slade (director of Eclipse) to us fans on Facebook. He describes a day of shooting a scene in particularly bad weather, and the fans who braved this weather all night, waiting to catch a glimpse of the actors.

In his note, David says,

So, to those of you who stood behind our security, who waited in line at theatres overnight, to those of you who just love these stories, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is a love letter to you.

Thank you, David Slade. I also cannot wait to see Eclipse.

26 more days!
