Filming has begun on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third installment of the popular vampire film franchise.

The film’s plot sees Bella (Kristen Stewart) approaching her high school graduation and forced to choose between her love for vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and her feelings for werewolf friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

Twihards will be delighted to know that the new film — which is shooting on location in Vancouver — will come with a few new faces.

“Along with director David Slade, several new actors are joining the TWILIGHT family including Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria, Xavier Samuel as Riley, Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria, Jack Huston as Royce King, Julia Jones as Leah, BooBoo Stewart as Seth, and Jodelle Ferland as Bree,” Summit Entertainment said in a statement Tuesday.

“Also continuing in the saga as The Cullen Family are Ashley Greene as Alice, Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme, Kellan Lutz as Emmett, Nikki Reed as Rosalie, and Jackson Rathbone as Jasper. Billy Burke also returns as Charlie Swan.”

Twilight Eclipse opens in theaters Wednesday, June 30, 2010.
