David Slade – director who directed
Eclipse The third part of the vampire saga “Twilight”.
David Slade was born in 1969 in the UK. He attended university in Sheffield. His career began as a director of music videos. For Afex Twin, Slade directed videos for "I Smell Quality" and "Donkey Rhubarb". He made videos for Muse’s Origin of Symmetry album, shot videos for Starsailor, The Music, Stereophonics, worked with Tori Emos, created videos for Stone Temple Pilots and System of a Down.
Slade made his first “real” film in 2004. It was a sci-fi short film, Do Geese See God? The debut of the director went almost unnoticed, but the next year he made himself talk, shooting a full-length psychological film “Lollipop”. A film about the relationship of a teenage girl with psychopathic traits of character and a male photographer, in which the girl suspected a pedophile. The film gave a good box office in the UK and the United States, and at the festival in Catalonia received three prizes at once: for best film, for best script and the audience award. The British director shot this film in the United States, so at home he received the prize for the best foreign film.
Slade proved that he could make good psychological dramas and switched to vampire sagas. In 2007, he directed the horror film 30 Days of Night based on Steven Niles comics. The film tells about the heroism of the sheriff of a small town in Alaska, protecting his city from vampire attacks. Then it was Twilight Hour for Slade. The two previous series on the novels of Stephanie Meyer were directed by Catherine Hardwicke and Chris Weitz.
Slade's "Eclipse" caused very ambiguous assessments of critics, but the rental fees bypassed the previous two parts. Now David Slade is planning a film about Dracula. A vampire prince on the ship Demeter sails from Romania to New York, reducing the number of passengers and crew. /
