Moon” scripts, is working on “Eclipse,” in which Bella is forced to

This should be interesting. I've herd good things about him and i'm really glad they didn't go with Drew. I'm hoping he'll be able to take eclipse into a darker place when the fighting comes around. If only they would see fit to get a new screenwriter <<
