New "Eclipse" Director: 5 Random Facts!

Experience with hot young actress? Check. Vampire expertise? Check. Creepy looking enough to be a vampire himself? Check.

Finally, after months of throwing around more names than Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet, Eclipse has a director! It was a long search, and in the end, they found a guy who fit all the criteria needed: David Slade!

He's helmed the horror flick 30 Days of Night (vampires in Alaska), and directed a pre-Juno Ellen Page in the movie Hard Candy. So he knows all about blood suckers and babes!

To help you get to know David a little bit better, here are five facts about him. Okay, three of them aren't true, we'll admit. We couldn't make it THAT easy. Can you spot out which ones are the REAL facts?

1. Brother of comedian David Spade; changed his name to be his own man.
2. Began his career directing music videos, including one for Tori Amos (your parents probably listen to her)
3. Actually used to babysit Taylor Lautner, which is how he got turned onto the Twilight saga
4. Has a daughter named Bella, coincidentally
5. Loves dogs, especially dachshunds. (More Team Jacob, then?)

Got your guess on? OK, now scroll down...
