Eclipse Novella Could Make The Cut To The Film Franchise

Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's mini-novel The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner may be made into a film, according to several sites.

The book will be released on June 5, ($1 from the sale of each copy will be donated to the Red Cross for disaster relief in Haiti and Chile), and a source for What's Playing says, "It goes without saying Summit want to continue this franchise ... Tanner is the one they're looking at post-Breaking Dawn. It's too early to talk casting, and everything we're hearing is just speculation or off a wish list, but I don't believe they plan on using the original actress, Jodelle Ferland, for the spin-off film.” The source said Chloe Moretz or Elle Fanning were names being thrown around to play the young vamp who was killed by Jane Volturi at the end of Eclipse.

Still, Meyer has said that the novella was created as an aid for Eclipse director David Slade and his crew as "a research tool", but she hasn't confirmed that it will make it onscreen.

P.S. Speaking of Eclipse news, the official Twilight Facebook fan page posted this message regarding the re-release of the third installment of the series: "Bella Swan's birthday is on September 13! What are you doing to celebrate? In celebration of Bella's birthday, ECLIPSE will be re-released in theatres nationwide this Friday! It's your last chance to see it on the big screen with your friends."
