'New Moon' Special-Edition DVD To Feature 'Eclipse' Footage

Most of the biggest films between now and the summer have already given fans extensive trailers, from "The A-Team" to "Kick-Ass" to "Toy Story 3." Yet, the film that might become the biggest blockbuster of all — one that involves a clumsy girl, a pale vampire and an ab-tastic werewolf — remains suspiciously silent only four months before its release. But if you're one of the Twilighters asking when you can finally witness an "Eclipse," your answer has finally arrived.

According to a press release issued on Walmart's Web site, seven minutes of footage from "Eclipse" will be revealed on the upcoming "New Moon" DVD — as long as you purchase it at the retailer and make sure it's the slightly more-expensive "The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition" DVD or Blu-ray. The movie hits stores March 20.

"With the new movie and 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews, 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition' also contains an exclusive, seven-minute sneak peek of 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,' " the press release boasts. "It begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film. New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer, are integrated with revealing on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie. This first look at 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the upcoming film."

Walmart is planning to host late-night events at 2,600 stores and will be featuring "Twilight Saga Shops" in locations nationwide. According to the press release, among the items in the shops are the following:

» Wolf- and vampire-lover tanks ($7)
» "Twilight Saga"-themed tees ($9)
