'Eclipse Bites' into the LA Film Festival with another still and report on cost of tickets

Next month, the Los Angeles Film Festival will likely welcome a new contingent: throngs of screaming girls.

The annual event, which announced its lineup on Tuesday, will feature the world-premiere screening of "The Twilight Saga:
Eclipse," the long-awaited third installment in the popular vampire
franchise. It's not exactly typical film festival fare, but organizers are
hoping it will serve a larger purpose.

"If we program a movie like 'Twilight' that draws audiences that might not otherwise attend film festivals, hopefully we'll
expose them to other cinematic experiences that we think are inspiring,"
said festival director Rebecca Yeldham.

Still, fans eager to see "Eclipse" before it
hits theaters in July will have to pay for the privilege. Only those
festivalgoers who purchase one of the festival's top-level passes — which range
in cost from $500 to $1,000 — will get inside the Nokia Theatre on June 24

Comment by CanadianLady on May 5, 2010 at 11:27am: Holy hotness, love the new pic. Are you crazy I wouldn't pay that much to see it before hand. I'll just wait till it comes to the theater and pay the seven dollars.

Comment by Miss Robsessed on May 5, 2010 at 11:29am: Oooooo....this new still is HOT...the bedroom scene in Edward's room at the Cullen's...can't wait! Rob looks so kissable in this pic!!! GAH!!! I would pay the price for the tickets if my husband would let me, and he would agree to watch the kids while I went to LA. I don't see it happening for me!!! If only I lived in CA instead of FL, I wouldn't have to pay the airfare involved, too!
