Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are dunzo, but not in the way OK! thinks.

The dazzling duo finished filming Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight Saga, early this morning, director David Slade confirmed via Twitter.

"Twilight Eclipse officially wrapped shooting, at 4.30 a.m. October 29th," the helmer wrote from Vancouver (which would be Pacific Time). "Physically and emotionally exhausted."

Given that Slade tweeted an image of the stunt coordinator on Tuesday morning, we're guessing those final scenes were rather action-packed, kind of like our hearts just thinking about seeing round three.

The film was celebrated at an "almost wrap party" last week, before several of its stars, including Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene, were dismissed.

New Moon may have 21 days remaining in its countdown clock, but thanks to all the scenes hitting the Net on a daily basis, mystery currently surrounding Eclipse is arguably more intoxicating.

The screenplay for Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the series, is currently being drafted—possibly as two movies—but no director or start date has been finalized.
