Third Installment Of ‘Twilight’ Series, ‘Eclipse’, Nabs New Director

I don’t know why Summit Entertainment has been so quick to replace Chris Weitz as the director for the third movie in the Twilight series, but so be it. Makes sense because taping of the second film hasn’t even happened yet. It was said that even Drew Barrymore was trying to direct this shit, but sadly for her they have decided to go with Spanish horror director, Juan Antonio Bayona.
This will be Bayona’s first English directed film. The third installment of Stephanie Meyer’s four book series, Eclipse, has already been given a June 30th 2010 release date. The sequel, New Moon, will hit theaters November 20th of this year. Summit Entertainment goes through directors like Anne Heche does her men.
