Summit Entertainment has officially greenlit The Twilight Saga: Eclipse with a scheduled release date of June 30, 2010.

Summit’s expected to begin production shortly on The Twilight Saga’s New Moon, the second film. Chris Weitz replaced Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke on New Moon with the key actors reprising their roles — Robert Pattinson as Edward, Kristen Stewart as Bella and Taylor Lautner as Jacob.

Summit hasn’t yet selected a director for “Eclipse.”

Twilight has earned $189 million domestically and another $174 million overseas.

We still have not received any confirmation about Ashley Greene or any of the other Cullen’s official return. It’s assumed and hoped they will, but with the Taylor Lautner things - you never know. Here’s to hoping and hopefully we’ll get the news soon!
