Thanks to Robert Pattinson Unlimited for these snaps of Ashley and Jackson on the set of Eclipse today. We can’t see Jackson’s hair but it looks like Alice’s hair is even shorter this time. Thoughts?

Just a little related, but I thought it would be fun to discuss…Summit has cast Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria for Eclipse! Per the Hollywood Reporter:

Producers on Summit’s third “Twilight” pic have cast Catalina Sandino Moreno, best-known for playing the title character in the indie drama “Maria Full of Grace,” to play the vampire character of Maria.

The CAA-repped actress will take on the role of a woman who tries to create a newborn army of vampires, recruiting the Confederate soldier Jasper to her cause. In Stephenie Meyer’s book, the character is described as a petite brunette with a soft voice.

Glad to see Jasper’s story coming together!

Caps from the TCAs are coming up soon and I’ll be replying to e-mails as well. Thanks!

Two sad things: 1) you can barely see Ashley in these and 2) no pictures of them together, but both Jackson and Ashley were at the first Eclipse cast dinner last night with Peter Facinelli, Bryce Dallas Howard, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Taylor Lautner, and Xavier Samuel (who is ADORABLE!).

Lainey is also reporting the following about Jackson’s training for this film:

Jackson’s training is a little more involved than the others. In addition to working out in the gym, and fight instruction, he’s also on horseback, so he’ll be getting riding lessons. I’m imagining it. I like what I’m imagining. You?

Definitely sounding like they’ll be doing Jasper’s story justice! *fingers crossed*

David Slade is officially on board as the director for Eclipse! I’m very excited to see how he’ll bring Jasper’s story with the newborn vampires to life.
