Eclipse director David Slade has given a sneak peak at deleted scenes that could end up on the DVD release.

Speaking to Digital Spy, the filmmaker outlined two sequences that were filmed but didn’t make the movie’s final cut.

“There’s quite a bit of stuff that ended up not making the cut but I think film is a living organism. It kind of grows and tells you it’s own pace,” he explained.

“I think we ended up with what was the best of everything. Certain things that were really good just slowed the pace down and we pulled them out.”

“There’s a great scene with Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Angela (Christian Serratos) in her bedroom just talking girl stuff,” he continued. “It was lovely but it just didn’t fit, it just didn’t really work. We took it out and the film flowed better. I know that will be on the DVD.”

He added there is also a “lovely scene” between Bella and her father Charlie (Billy Burke) after the graduation when he expresses his pride at her achievements.

“Again, it’s a really heartwarming scene but I felt the clap [at the ceremony] did the same thing,” he said. “There’s a bunch of stuff like that, there will be quite a few DVD extras I hope.”

The “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” star looks ahead at the final installments of the franchise — and at what it has in store for her career Kristen Stewart takes one more step toward immortality in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” She’s put her own stamp on Bella, who’s determined to take a walk down the aisle and spend eternity with her vampire lover Edward, played by Robert Pattinson.

Stewart told Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf that, just like her character, she’s grown a lot since “Twilight” first became a cultural phenomenon. But some things haven’t changed.

Honesty is the best policy, no matter what
“I’ve always said that I’m not ashamed of anything that I say because I’m always being honest, even though you can definitely make mistakes. That’s Bella in a nutshell, so I can completely relate to her. I think it’s a good thing to be proud of who you are, no matter what. Success is always something completely different for different people. I feel like I’ve succeeded if I’m doing something that makes me happy and I’m not lying to anybody. That’s why I feel really good about myself right now.”

So does her romance with RPattz go beyond the screen?
“It’s hard to actually take details of your personal life and apply them in a scene because as much as you can identify with a feeling, you just get muddled. As soon as you start bringing your own stuff in, it’s like, ‘No, that’s not right.’ You’re playing a different person. You have to leave that stuff at the door.”
