The TWILIGHT sequel NEW MOON hasn't even started filming yet but Summit Entertainment is already looking for directors for the third installment, ECLIPSE and the name that's leaked out would probably surprise you. Drew Barrymore. Yup, according to Entertainment Weekly, Drew Barrymore is one of the candidates to direct ECLIPSE and is talking to the studio about the possibility. Barrymore recently wrapped her directorial debut, WHIP IT!, and while the film hasn't even released a trailer yet, the Summit folks likely saw an early cut and liked enough of what they saw to bring her in to discuss teenage vampires in love. Since ECLIPSE is scheduled for release a mere 8 months after NEW MOON, the studio is looking to get production on the third film shooting while the second is still in post-production (NEW MOON director Chris Weitz already passed on the ECLIPSE directing gig). It's obviously extremely early and neither Summit nor Barrymore's reps would comment so it could be very exploratory at this point but still. Drew Barrymore directing TWILIGHT 3. Interesting...

Just say no to hate.
Say what you want peeps the series is UBER-successful. The books are bestsellers and the film was a hit. Give Meyer props for her success, she deserves it. If you think you can do better go write your own bestselling novels, have them grow a rabid fanbase and make multi-million dollar film deals. If you can't do that, then go hate elsewhere.

Stephen King said it best when he said J.K. Rowling has some talent whereas Stephenie Meyer (Twilight author) can't write worth a damn.



Seems the movies correlate perfectly.

It's Harry Potter all over again!
I didn't see the movie or read the book & never will, but from what I've read/heard it's a joke. At least "Harry Potter" was written somewhat well w/good stories. These books & the terribly bad movie in of itself are full of unbearable teen angst. Even if I was the target audience I.E. a Teenage girl, I bet I wouldn't have anything to do w/it. All I know is that if "Friday the 13th" which...

All I know is that if "Friday the 13th" which is sscreligious in it's own right can do $50 million it's 1st weekend, then this will do gangbusters whether it's sucks (which it probably will) or not, So I can count on moving up on HSX.com past my 140 rank overall. I just don't want to have to endure (well I won't personally) another 5 years of these teenage Vamps. On another note, why the hell did the star Robert Pattison have anything to do w/the Oscars? Really he's done 1 recogonizable film & now he's worthy of presenting an Oscar? Let alone even being invited? Wow talk about selling out Academy! Really poor judgment to say the least.

Ya just never know
IF? Drew gets tapped to direct? This just might work for the better for the 3rd installment-Ya never know till u sit thru a film that U prejudged with a verdict of "sucks" based on bias and limited info. I like Drew,though not big on the "Twilight" series kick off on film thus far-BUT-I wish her well and hope this works...that is AGAIN IF?IF?IF?
