Melissa Rosenberg Reveals Details About 'Eclipse' Vampire Cameo

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Ever since �Twilight Saga� star Billy Burke told us about the cameo of new wave rocker Peter Murphy in �Eclipse,� fans have been trying to figure out where his Spanish vampire will fit into director David Slade�s movie. So, when we caught up with series screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, we had her shed some light on the dark flashback involving the former Bauhaus frontman.




�That�s cool, I didn�t know he was playing it,� she said of the scene, remembering it in the script but unaware that Peter had been cast in the role. �That�s one of the great things about �Eclipse,� is that Stephenie [Meyer] goes into some of the backstories of �How did the wolves come to be?� and �How did Rosalie come to be?� and �How did Jasper come to be?��





�I got to actually write those scenes, and have them come alive and explore some backstories,� she explained of her script for the third �Twilight� movie, due in theaters next summer. �[Those flashback scenes] are always, for me, very compelling.�



As Billy explained, Peter was cast as �an old Spanish, sort of unrelated vampire, in a flashback sequence� involving Billy Black (Gil Birmingham) telling the origins of the Quileuete wolves.



�[Peter] is involved in telling the story of how the wolves came to be,� Melissa revealed. �He is one of the provocateurs of the wolves way back when � he sort of starts the whole thing rolling.�



As fans know, much of the tension in the �Twilight Saga� revolves around a careful balance that has kept the vampires and werewolves of Forks living in relative peace for decades � until Bella Swan comes along, that is. Peter�s flashback will detail the evolution of the wolves, and shed further details on how the Quileute and Cullens forged their pact.



�Eclipse� hits theaters everywhere June 30, 2010.
