If you read the leaked script..... *SPOILERS OTHERWISE*

So my inbox received a nice gift yesterday that was the alleged leaked script of Twilight Saga Eclipse.

I did not read the New Moon script when it circulated, then again, I had Eclipse coming to town to film and entertain me.

Now, however, there is no news of Breaking Dawn public yet, no new information on anything Twilight, so this script was timed just perfectly... almost too perfectly don't you think? ;)

I do not have a link to the script, I advise people NOT to try and download from a link - there are many people out there who are truly Malicious (and not just using it as a nickname ;) tee hee)

You could end up with a vampire virus and/or get into trouble for downloading.... though I think enough people have copies circulating if you wanted it I am certain you could just ask someone to email it to you.

Ok, enough about that - on with the details...

There are 114 pages of the July version script.

When I list page #s below, it's based on the .pdf page # [if you don't have 114 page version - last page is blank anyways it may be a page ahead/behind from what I list]

Filming started August 17 and so there may be some minor changes from script to movie, plus of course FX, cgi, actors impromptu parts, ad lib and camera angles will make the movie - but for the most part I believe this script to be legit and accurate.

**All links in this post will take you to other photos and posts of mine from previous months when there was live filming here in Vancouver. Enjoy!

Here are some reasons why I think this script is legit:

Opening Scene - Riley in an alley being chased by a shadow after leaving a bar. (p. 2)

This was filmed in three locations in Vancouver. The locations filmed at locally suit the script description perfectly (down to the cobblestone and alleyways) and rumour around the set during filming was that it was going to be the opener, this is completely unlike the book so therefore seems accurate in this script.

Under the bridge - Riley and Victoria under the bridge kissing. (p. 71)

There were photos of them kissing. In the script this is exactly the same and it differs from the book also so it seems legit.

While filming:

PunkD Images Photo from Lainey Gossip:

My Photo the next day:


Upside down Car in "Seattle" - There was an upside down car, a fire and newborns going crazy as Volturi look on. (p. 55)

We saw the upside down car, fire and other fans photos on the scene of Dakota Fanning and Charlie Bewley at their dressing rooms. We deduced that it was a Seattle scene where newborns go nuts and Volturi observe. These very specific details are different from the book but seen in this script. They play out well in a movie as it's a very visual cue to the audience that the Volturi know what's going on now and aren't happy.

Set:

Upside Down Car:


Future Life with Jacob - Bella imagines a future if she chooses Jacob. (p. 95)

We saw the changes to the Swan house and props that included a rocking chair and children's toys. A neighbour reported there were children playing and filmed at the house. There was also the tweet about Charlie in old man make-up (A tweet quickly removed and then covered up as a "joke" between Billy Burke and David Slade) Fans are smarter than that and We guessed it had to do with Bella imagining having kids... perhaps a future life if she chose Jacob or how she couldn't have kids as a vampire.... The script proves this "life with Jacob fantasy" is indeed correct.

Back-Story Jasper - Jasper's History of becoming a Vampire and his experience with newborn armies. (p. 67-69)

The script clearly addresses this as Jasper tells Bella about his past. Casting information told us also that this was going to happen (Kristen Prout as Lucy and Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria.) We also knew he'd been filmed on horseback (the first day of shooting actually)as well as the interior of a barn, which is exactly what we saw and predicted was filming (Jasper's back story) though we weren't sure details of what in his past was shot, the script shows Jasper following orders from Maria, terrible orders (killing the boy newborn).

Barn Set:


Back-Story Rosalie - Rosalie's backstory and how she became a vampire. (p. 51)

Again, thanks to casting announcements we knew Jack Huston had been cast as Royce King II and therefore there would be Rosalie's backstory. The script discusses her desire to have children and the perfect life as human and also her attack from Royce and friends before becoming a vampire. We saw filming of Nikki Reed in high-class old fashion and the very jacket and brass buttons the script mentions.


Arrival of New Borns - The newborns led by Riley, emerge from the water. (p. 86)

This is not in the book but is in the script and there are photos in my blog from this scene being shot. The new borns all come out of the water and Bree is with them. Also when I met Xavier Samuel I asked him "was that you in the water the other day? Someone was trying to say it was a double" he told me it was indeed him in the water.


Trip to Florida - Bella and her mom talking in Florida. (p. 13)

In the book I believe she and her mom walk along the beach talking. The script however says they sit in lounge chairs in a bungalow, which is exactly what the photos show from filming. This continues to show this script and it's fine details match what we saw live in Vancouver, even the slight differences from the book.


Forks Police Station - Edward and Bella visit Chief Swan (p. 12)

We saw them filming Edward and Bella going to the Police Station and insiders said it was to bring up the trip to Florida. The script shows the same scene with both interior and exterior shots.


Trying to Catch Victoria - Victoria Jumps over a ravine. (p. 16)

We saw them prepare a massive "ravine" with fake trees on one side and harnesses for stunt work. Victoria's stunt double was in the forests for much of these scenes.

Outside Jacob's - Dr. Carlisle comes to help heal Jacob (p. 108)

I remember seeing Carlisle's car outside Jacob's house along with Bella's truck. I couldn't think of why Carlisle would be there with wolvesuntil someone reminded me of this scene possibility. Sure enough, Cullen's are allowed on to Quileute land at this point. Jacob's bones are re-broken and set correctly. Bella comes to visit.


Outside Highschool - Jacob arrives on motorcycle. (p. 18)

The script says Jacob wears a tight black t-shirt and no coat in the cold. We saw the exterior school with the motorcycle as well as school bus, and other vehicles. We also saw photos of Taylor Lautner in the same outfit looking super hot.


The Third Wife Tale - Bella joins Jacob and the Quileute at the bonfire. (p. 35 - 38)

This was filmed in the back of Jacob's house. In the books it was at the beach and we assumed they just filmed it behind Jacob's to avoid moving set, but in the script it actually says behind Jacob's house. Also the scene where Bella sees herself as the third wife (foreshadowing her actions later when Riley and Victoria show up at the tent (p. 104) to fight) was filmed separately (the first week of filming).

Graduation - Outside Party (p. 54)

In the books the party is at the Cullen's. It still is in this script, but while filming they had a "graduation party" outside the school (at a local park) and at the time I wasn't sure if they were using the park as the Cullen's yard or what. The script tells us that after graduation, everyone is outside the school.


Other bits I saw filmed / reported on:

-Angela and Bella doing graduation invitations (p. 31)
-The graduation (p. 54)
-The Cannery with newborns (p. 42 & 59 & 83)
-The woods (fight training, fighting, etc.) (p. 62 & 97 & throughout)
-The Tent Scene (exterior filmed on the mountain, interior filmed in studio) (p. 88)
-Lainey reported Bella piggypack on Jacob and blood drippings
-Highschool shooting (though this set I didn't go to in New Moon or Eclispe during live filming - too chaotic)
-Jacob's House and his Garage.

What surprised me/didn't know or anticipate:

-Bella's dream of Jasper with red eyes as Victoria appears beside him, tipping her off that the newborn army is Victoria's doing. I didn't know about this scene at all and think it will be awesome. (p. 70)

-Riley's parents at the Forks Police Station and the "missing person" posters were a nice edition to tie in the story, especially when he is in the Swan house and sees Charlie sleeping and his own photo in the file.

-Alice and Edward in the volturi chairs, showing the Volturi's goal of having them and their talents part of their team. (p. 41)

-The Cullen's have a television and watch CNN (p. 39)

Cool Parts:

-Bella punching Jake after the kiss, Charlie's response (p. 47)
-"Doesn't he own a shirt" from Edward about Jacob (LOL) (p. 34)
-Marriage/Sex Talk with Charlie (everything with Charlie is always great!) (p. 78)
-The almost sex scene including a "shirtless" Edward. "It's not old fashioned, it's ancient" ha ha (p. 80)
-The Jacob/Bella consensual kiss (p. 90)
-The proposal(s)
-Addition of Leah as a wolf and her transformation

Notes:

-It doesn't "SAY" leg-hitch but I am sure it will be included by actions in the film.

-The newborns emerging from the water was filmed where my husband proposed to me <3 (p. 86) -I wanted more banter between Edward & Jacob and I feel like through filming and ad lib the final product may have more than the script shows (hopefully) (p. 88 & throughout) -Part of the fight scene has a log breaking (p. 101) and I remember seeing the fake log that was broken as well as giant boulders that were actually light as air... hoping to see them be thrown in the film though the script doesn't mention it. -In the tent as "sleep takes over" (p. 90) I would have preferred to see her "dream" of a future life with Jacob as opposed to how they have her wake up and have Jacob overhear they are engaged, chase him, kiss him, imagine future... I dunno... just me? -Most of the forest scenes were shot in three different forests and two of those were used in New Moon. Two of them were on private property so no one could get close to see but the circus (hair/make-up etc.) was away from the private property and fans often waited by it to catch a glimpse of their fave cast. Some had successes, some did not.

-The ending is rumoured to be slightly different than this script - I guess we won't know until the June release of the movie, but overall I think the script is fairly accurate.

-All my set reports for Eclipse run from August 17, 2009 - October 31, 2009. Go to my archives to view again and compare to script if you wish <3

I´m charm with your review! I also read it yesterday and I must say I liked a lot, my favorites were the kissing scenes between bella / edward and bella / jacob but I can´t wait to see the scenes of action and obviously the wolves! I love it in New Moon! And I want to see Riley, I think it´s going to be an acting surprise :D
Totally charm WITH YOUR NOTES and I´m going to recommend it to through my blog: D, GREETINGS FROM MEXICO
