LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Ashley Greene revealed that the newest installment of the Twilight series shooting now, Eclipse, will be "darker" and "gorier" than its two predecessors.

The actress, who plays Alice Cullen, told MTV, "The first one was very focused on this love story and really sweet and it was beautiful, but it didn't have a lot of stuff that guys would go, 'Yeah, I want to go see that.'"

But Eclipse will attempt to appeal to a broader audience. "There's going to be a lot more focus on [action], and the fight scene will have more emphasis on it. I definitely think it will be a little more guy-friendly."

Eclipse's director, David Slade, is known for edgier fare, having director the cult thriller Hard Candy, and the vampire flick 30 Days Of Night.

He's the third director to helm the series, after Catherine Hardwicke and Chris Weitz.
