Justin Chon claims 'The Twilight Saga's Eclipse' helmer David Slade doesn't allow the film's cast to make some improvement to play their roles.

Justin Chon has shared about filming "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" with the movie's helmer David Slade. In a recent interview with MTV, the depicter of Eric Yorkie, who is described as the high school friend of Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan, revealed that Slade has asked the film's cast to portray their roles entirely based on "Eclipse", the third "Twilight Saga" book written by Stephenie Meyer.

"I'm gonna be pretty honest; there wasn't a lot of improv allowed on 'Eclipse,' " Chon recalled. Comparing Slade to Catherine Hardwicke and Chris Weitz, who directed "Twilight" and "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" respectively, the 28-year-old actor said, "I would say, in order: Catherine [Hardwicke] allowed the most improv, Chris still allowed some, but definitely not as much as Catherine. And with David [Slade], zero."

Still in the same interview, Chon also commented on the romance between his character and Christian Serratos' Angela Weber on the third "Twilight" film. "We tried to spend a lot of time together [on set to prepare]; I don't think their relationship is lovey-dovey, where I'm kissing her all the time," he testified.

"It's [Eric's] first relationship, so I don't even know how to do it - we're both awkward people, so it consisted of her hitting me a lot," Chon explained further. "It's that kind of relationship that's very awkward, like she'll tell me to shut up when I'll say, 'I love you!' And her term of affection is punching me in the arm or something."
