Eclipse Stars Line-Up Before Breaking Dawn

From MTV.com:
With their major promotional duties over, and the record-breaking "Eclipse" in no need of any more star power, it stands to reason that the film's castmembers should be getting ready for some well-deserved rest and relaxation before heading back to work on "Breaking Dawn" in the fall.

That's not the case, however, as many of the popular young actors are very much in demand for film studios and audiences alike at the moment. Here's a look at what the "Eclipse"ters are up to in their "Twilight" downtime.

Taylor Lautner
Taylor Lautner is in Pittsburgh filming "Abduction," alongside Sigourney Weaver and Lily Collins, directed by John Singleton.

"It's a very real action-thriller," Lautner told MTV News at the "Eclipse" premiere in L.A. "[It has a] great story, great cast and I start in, like, three days."

Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson has been shooting the book-to-screen adaptation "Water for Elephants," in which he plays a college dropout who becomes an animal caretaker for a traveling circus in the 1930s. Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz co-star. In addition to cutting his famous shaggy locks for the role, Pattinson told MTV News he's picked up some coordination during filming.

"I've become a little less mal-coordinated in the last couple years," he said. "[The film has] quite a few active bits. I'm pulling around horses and stuff, and I was like, 'When have I suddenly become capable?' "

Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart will be busy with "On the Road," co-starring "Tron: Legacy" star Garret Hedlund. Stewart recently told MTV News that she's excited to work with Hedlund. "I've met him a bunch of times and hung out with him twice. He's a great guy," she said. "He's written crazy stuff for it. He's so in character right now. He's driving to Montreal [for filming]. He's awesome. I'm really excited."

Anna Kendrick
Acclaimed "Up in the Air" star Anna Kendrick (a.k.a. Jessica) next appears in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" and an untitled Seth Rogen comedy, but a role Kendrick is dying for is a part in the upcoming "Hobbit," which she revealed to MTV News at the "Eclipse" premiere.

"Believe me, I spend many nights wondering that," Kendrick said when asked if there might be a role in the upcoming Tolkien adaptation. "This is officially my feeler!"

Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz
Other busy bees include Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz. Greene will appear in "Apparition" opposite Sebastian Stan and Tom Felton, recently wrapped "Butter" with Jennifer Garner and Hugh Jackman, and also has the action/sport film "Warrior" on her slate, opposite her "Twilight" sibling. Lutz, in addition to "Warrior," is off kicking butt in Tarsem Singh's Greek gods-centric epic "Immortals," opposite Samuel L. Jackson, Freida Pinto, Isabel Lucas and Mickey Rourke

I really liked the Twilight Soundtrack. When I heard it for the first time I knew that the Eclipse movie would be amazing. And I wasn't wrong. I loved it and it was, beyond a doubt, the best movie of the saga so far. I cannot wait for the first part of the fourth movie to come out. And if I'm not wrong that is in Novembeer of 2011. While I'm waiting I king of got hooked on this other movie called The Incubus. You should check it out. Now they are having a promotion, and you can download one of the songs from the soundtrack free! You should check it out, it's an amazing song. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/9dntTz
