Slade admits 'Eclipse' was challenging

Twilight: Eclipse director David Slade has admitted feeling challenged while filming the third entry of the film series.

Slade claimed that the adaptation was a struggle simply due to the huge amount of material in Stephenie Meyer's novel compared to previous books Twilight and New Moon.

"What attracted me to Eclipse was that it was a great story," he told NME. "Also it was a tremendous challenge, it's a big thick book, there's a lot of epic things that happen.

"I felt that the film had to have a cinematic edge to it."

Twilight: Eclipse is released on DVD December 6.
