Film Independent Announces Official Film Selections for 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival: Eclipse & Welcome To The Rileys

Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse to have World Premiere.

The Festival will host the invitation-only world premiere of Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on June 24 at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live. Details for the screening can be found at LAFilmFest.com. The film is directed by David Slade and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, and Dakota Fanning. In Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings, and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob, knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens nationwide on June 30, 2010.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse premiere IS the official World Premiere. EXCLUSIVE: Festival passes are going on sale on May 10th, and the Industry and Fast Pass levels will include tickets to Eclipse in those packages, while supplies last. There were red carpets with similar premieres in 2008 (Journey to the Center of the Earth) and 2009 (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen). In fact, those screenings were held at the same locations as the Twilight and New Moon premieres and the same blocks were roped off. But that's because LAFF was in Westwood before. Now it's centered downtown. But I think it's safe to assume there WILL be a red carpet. I WILL be posting more details as I get them.
