Director David Slade took to his Twitter page early yesterday morning to announce that Eclipse has officially finished up shooting, writing, "Twilight Eclipse officially wrapped shooting, at 4.30 am October 29th. Physically and emotionally exhausted."

Serious Twilight fans should probably keep their hopes in check though. As Slade points out in a separate post to Twitter, there's still plenty of work to be done. "Its not over until the film is in cinemas ...and then there's post production to start, 8 months of it...."

It's part of the breakneck filming of the entire Twilight series, as producers attempt to strike while the iron is still hot from last fall's surprise teen breakout hit. Series stars Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene have both confirmed that shooting on the final film in the series, Breaking Dawn, is scheduled to begin shortly after Eclipse has wrapped shooting. No official production timeline has been released as of yet, but we're guessing nobody involved is planing on taking too much time off.
