Drew Barrymore may be Directing Third ‘Twilight’ Film

A caveat before this article.   Take this as rumor only.   Nothing has been confirmed yet.   EW has learned that Summit Entertainment, while discussing who would be directing ‘Eclipse’, the third film in the ‘Twilight’ franchise, is considering giving the directing reigns over to Drew Barrymore.

Chris Weitz, who is directing ‘New Moon’, took over the directing duties on the franchise after Catherine Hardwicke left.   With the releases of the second and third films coming so close together, Weitz cannot direct both.   Why they can’t direct both films under one production is beyond me.   They have to use the same actors, right?

Barrymore has just finished her directorial debut, ‘Whip It!’ starring Ellen Page.
