UPDATED: 'Twilight 3' — Best Known as 'Eclipse' — Has a Release Date
No director, but a date for your calendar is announced

UPDATE: Entertainment Weekly is now reporting Chris Weitz will not be returning to direct Eclipse once he completes New Moon. With the two productions looking to film so closely together I can only assume we will have a new director announced relatively soon. The films are not filming simultaneously or back-to-back as previously speculated. There will be a brief gap between the production of both films.
Summit Entertainment has announced (via Deadline Hollywood) a release date for the third film in the Twilight saga as Eclipse will hit theaters on June 30, 2010.
Just yesterday we received the official title treatment for the second film in the franchise New Moon which is just about to get underway with a release date of November 20, 2009. You can check that out here.
There is no director attached to Eclipse yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Weitz continued the franchise should his experience on New Moon be well met by the studio and fans. Eclipse will be based on the third book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire love saga. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. 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 ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?
