Lowdy mercy, all of these updates from the set of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse may have your head spinning today!

First of all, there were spottings, spottings everywhere - the wolfpack edition.

Cast members like Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon were spotted around town yesterday, but the latest sightings include the most recently announced additions to the Eclipse crew Boo Boo Stewart and Julia Jones. As you know, Stewart is set to play Seth Clearwater, and Jones will play Leah Clearwater. Another Clearwater for the mix? Apparently so. Radar Online pointed to the arrival of Alex Rice as being pertinent to Eclipse cast arrivals, and one source claims that this Rice is slated to portray Sue Clearwater. Other sightings included that of Gil Birmingham, who tweeted: "Long hours, but very rewarding. Great 2 be back with cast and to meet the new cast members...looking forward to the telling of the legend." Looks like Gil is prepping for his Quileute story-telling scene!

David Slade tweeted about yesterday's filming, stating, "Yesterday Taylor had to carry Kristen for several hours, he held it together - hope he can lift his arms today. Rain dumped on us all day." The same source that offered details on Alex Rice states, "As for what the cast has been working on this week – first few days it was fight training, learning how to battle an army of new vampires. Then yesterday 'Jacob' runs with 'Bella' in his arms while he tells her why he doesn’t want to be the top dog even though it’s his birthright." As you might recall, in the book, the scene that this entails is in the later portion, and the Cullens and the wolves have already agreed to work together to protect Bella from the incoming newborn army (and Victoria). In doing so, Jacob agrees to carry Bella through the woods to get the mountainside while the Cullens split up and make trails all over the woods. Jacob carrying Bella keeps her scent as far from traceable as possible.

Apparently, another scene involving Jacob was also filmed recently. Mandy's blog suggests that the spotting of Cullen and Quileute cars outside of Jacob's house indicates that one of the final Eclipse scenes was being done as well - the doctoring scene. Shortly after Mandy's report, Radar also spotted Facinelli outside Jacob's house, thusly confirming the fact that he was there. In the book, Carlisle comes to help care for Jacob when he is wounded in the newborn battle sequences (note: he was wounded protecting Leah Clearwater - so, since Jones has just arrived, the scene that causes his injury has probably yet to be filmed). Last night, Facinelli tweeted that he had endured an eighteen hour day of filming - man, oh man, being the doctor is rough!
