Another Day, Another Rumored Eclipse Director

200903111454.jpgEW Popwatch lovingly sums up all the Eclipse director rumors and wonders if the “director dance [is] more entertaining than the movie?“–

Another day, another “news” item proclaiming that there’s a frontrunner for the director’s chair on Eclipse, the third film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Will it be Drew Barrymore? About a Boy’s Paul Weitz, brother of New Moon director Chris Weitz? Girl, Interrupted’s James Mangold? The Orphanage’s Juan Antonio Bayona, the Guillermo del Toro protégé whose name is getting serious ink today? Or someone who’s yet to even be mentioned?

    Is it just me or is everything getting a little ridiculous? Drew barrymore? the jonas brothers? MADONNA? What the hell? Everyone is just trying to get a piece of Twilight. Greedy people.

    uhm?
    I really think Guillermo del Toro is a better option. ahaha
    i'll cross my fingers 'til then

    Thank God Catherine is not directing- she couldn't even get a 1953 chevy truck right. Drew doesn't have enough experience. Paul Weitz could be interesting because he's Chris' brother and Chris could easily go on set and put in his two cents. However, given that Bayona is del Torro's protege, that could be one incredibly beautiful movie. Visually, The Orphanage was great and have you seen Pan's Labyrinth?! Wow- the creativity!!

    I would give Drew a chanece because if it one of her first she has less expectations from past stuff and I am sure she would be professional..................................................

    oh yeah, NO MORE CATHERINE!!!! i really did NOT like how twilight turned out. i love the movie but there were some parts that i was like "Whah???" so yeah :D
  • Jo
    Agreed! I couldn't figure out why they screwed up the meadow scene so badly.... I loved the moved too, but that was not right.
  • Mrs. Jasper Hale
    i kinda think it would be cool if they chose paul. keep it in the fam you know? but then agian i think they should just chose who they think will do good. i really like chris's directing but i get that he cant do eclispe, but its cool
  • i just wish they would tell us the director for eclispe and get it over with i just want the director to be good and the movie to be good for eclipe u know
  • Jacqueline
    I think they should get someone who's directed like a harry potter movie...because at least those seem to be entertaining and have good direction.

    I wouldn't do Catherine or Drew... Drew is an awesome actor- but you're right, we haven't seen anything she's actually directed-
  • Juan Antonio Bayona!!! how amazing would that be ^_^
    or even Guillermo del Toro

    My choices James Mangold or Juan Antonio Bayona Please that would be great!!!!
  • kate4
    I completely agree with you. Eclipse.. is dark, in a different way than New Moon, there is the angst, the violence, and the fear.... I freaking love it! those two directors would be awesome!
  • Lovin_the_Cullens_n_Bella
    I agree with the both of you.....I think those are two very well choices. I'm just hoping and praying for good movies.... lol
  • nomesters
    Oh god not Catherine again,. Please god no.
    I don't understand why they are already choosing another director when Chris has barely started the second movie. Is it just timing? Because if Chris does a good job, I want him to stay. I swear, I am having dreams about New Moon, it's getting kind of ridiculous.
    I will say that Drew Barrymore shouldn't do it. I think it would turn into a chick flick if she did it. (Not that I don't love Drew, or chick flicks, but I don't think Drew has enough experience directing, and I really don't think Eclipse is a chick flick, even though it's more of a love triangle.)
  • Chris can't do it because they only have an 8wk break in between filming new moon and Eclipse, its a real bummer I wish he could do them all, maybe if they keep in in the family then Paul could do Eclipse and they could direct Breaking Dawn together, that would be cool.

    I agree with NO MORE CATHERINE! OR DREW! I like Drew's acting but she has directed 1 film which isnt even out yet so we dont even know if she's any good, and while some parts off Twilight were good others sucked bigtime ie " you better hold on tight spider monkey" WTF was that all bout Edward would never say that! *Rant over* LMAO
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    I agree w/ Dana!!
    Changing the director for each movie kinda, sorta scares me!
    I'm praying 4 great movies guys!!!

    I think Catherine should be giving another chance. Then let Chris do Breaking Dawn if we like the way New Moon turns out...then maybe the two directers could colaborate so the film kinda runs along the same path. That way there are 2 directors for entire saga instead of a new one for each movie
