The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is the Twilight movie where Edward and Jacob really have it out. They’re both in a tent keeping Bella safe from the attacking vampire army, so they finally confront each other. Kristen Stewart had to pretend to sleep through the juiciest scene in the whole franchise.

“I couldn't wrap my head around hearing that conversation because she's really not supposed to,” Stewart said. “[Director] David [Slade] was like, 'Yeah, just let it slip in. Hear a little bit and then fall back asleep.' As soon as I'd hear any of that I'd be like, 'Bing! What? What are you talking about?' So that was difficult but I'm always between those two guys. I think it's really funny when Taylor has to take his shirt off.”
A lot of Twihards are Team Jacob. Eclipse is the closest Bella comes to considering Jacob romantically, even kissing him, but if the star is Team Edward, what can you do?
“Because she's so tunnel vision, Edward is the only thing for her. That's a strange perspective. Then I have to go in and talk to Edward about [the kiss] and it's such a different dynamic than we've ever had.”

<B>Eclipse</b> is pretty much sold already so it doesn’t matter what Stewart says about it. “I mean if you're a fan of the books obviously I don't need to give you any clues or reasons why they should go see the movie, but for someone who hasn't I do feel that these movies do stand alone. There's a lot of back story in each one of them and so you don't need to see the other ones to understand this one. In this case I think it's just kind of a more mature look at the same dynamic.”
Things are resolved at the end though, so there’s room for a new beginning with the two part Breaking Dawn coming next year. “The love triangle is definitely at it's height and it comes to a conclusion as well. It ends here and that's been building up over the whole series. Also it has way more action than the other movies just because of the story. I mean, we have different vampires and everyone is trying to kill Bella again but it's more people and they all battle and stuff. For non Twilight fans it definitely is a more dynamic movie I think.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will open to theaters on June 30.
