Mangold Headed for Twilight’s Eclipse?
Submit News | Posted by Geo | Categories: Rumors, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

ShockTillYouDrop has an article/rumor about James Mangold possibly directing Eclipse.

Summit Entertainment is in talks with director James Mangold to helm Eclipse, the third adaptation in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. That’s according to Production Weekly who announced the news this morning.

Mangold is the man behind Girl, Interrupted (lots angsty gals in that one), Walk the Line and 3:10 to Yuma. Again, it’s not confirmed he’s locked to direct, but if and when it is we’ll let you know.

Summit is currently gearing up New Moon, based on book two, with Chris Weitz at the helm. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are confirmed to star.

What do you guys think of Mangold directing Eclipse movie? View his IMDb here!

YAY! first comment, 3rd time. WHERES EVERYONE??? i watched walk the line. its an AWSOME movie!!!

I’m pretty happy since all of the movies he’s done are really good, and most of them very serious and intense, so I’m hoping he would bring some of that to Eclipse, so it isn’t as raump love-storyish as Twilight was. (Yes, I am aware that the movie was not nearly as bad as the book, but you have to admit that it’s pretty hard to watch some of that crap). I like the werewolves and fight scenes in Twilight the best, so hopefully he would bring a really serious aspect to it. But I also think it’s kinda weird they keep wanting to switch directors every movie. I mean, honestly, what else does Chris Weitz have on his schedule??

The man has done fantastic movies. I think he could bring something to the table that Catherine and even Chris Weitz might not, but that all depends on if its true and takes up the job…

I would love to see him direct the film, but I am a little worried about each film having a different director


by Ash on January 14 - 4:47 pm PDT

I am telling the truth when I say that I have never seen any of his movies, but I guess I should………….just to see if he is any good. I am soooooooooooooo happy that Rob, Kristen, and Taylor were all confirmed to star in the movie. If it didnt the these actors in the movie I wuld have no reason to see it. I cant imagine better people to play my favorite characters. Dont worry everyone I am still a Team Edward. :P

who even careeees.


by Emily on January 14 - 5:07 pm PDT

Why can’t they just keep the same director!?


by me on January 14 - 5:11 pm PDT

just make sure hes good


by Balehead on January 14 - 5:12 pm PDT

I am fine if he does Eclipse, though I wish they would stay with the same director from the start. 3:10 To Yuma WAS AMAZING AND YOU ALL NEED TO SEE IT!


by Taylor M on January 14 - 5:14 pm PDT

i wouldn’t be to worried about him cause 3:10 to yuma and Walk the Line were really good and won awards. i do agree though with Emily, why can’t they just keep the same director?


by Balehead on January 14 - 5:17 pm PDT

HAVE HIM DO NEW MOON! lol His movies are the best and very clever. My fav director


by jess on January 14 - 5:27 pm PDT

Why can’t Summit stick to ONE director.
not that i dont like this guy [he's awesome]
but seriously. They should just focus on New
Moon right now.


by Jessica Minozzo on January 14 - 5:41 pm PDT

omfggg.
they should ONLY had ONE director from the start.
sersly.
the saga will b different with diff directors.
sersly Summitt is REALLY pissing me off.


by Lindsay on January 14 - 5:47 pm PDT

If this is true…I’m so totally happy about it! 3:10 to Yuma was AWESOME!! I hope he does direct Eclipse!

by Team Edward on January 14 - 6:37 pm PDT

yeah i agree with everyone
i haven’t seen any of his movies, so i don’t know what he’s like
but why can’t summit stick to the same director?
why can’t chris weitz direct eclipse as well?
they are making this much more confusing than necessary!


by Annie on January 14 - 7:10 pm PDT

I think its great that they are changing directors. It’s good that they aren’t getting caught up in routine of always using the same person.. All of the books are different, & all of the movies will need a different kind of director.. They are trying to pick the best person for the job & picking the person who will do the best with each individual movie. What is wrong with that? Why does it make everyone so upset to have different directors?


by Connie on January 14 - 7:10 pm PDT

I’m not worried and I’m pretty confident he would be a good director because 3:10 to Yuma was a great movie.


by Annie on January 14 - 7:12 pm PDT

Agree – First of all, it’s only a rumor. Second of all, we’d be lucky to have him do Eclipse!! With a track record like Walk The Line, Heavy, 3:10 to Yuma, and Girl, Interrupted.. this guy has done some great films!


by Robertlover on January 14 - 7:25 pm PDT

Sure…why not? I don’t care as long as the movie will be fantastic.


by Eileen on January 15 - 12:39 am PDT

Why exactly do people like spreading rumors about who might be involved with “eclipse” when they haven’t even started filming “new moon”. i know they are filming them back to back and all but you still can’t film it until after “new moon”. all these rumors are aggravating. :)


by kimbrly on January 15 - 1:22 am PDT

whooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
i love twilight!!!!!!!!!
aztig!!! i hope there is twilight 2 because victoria is still alive …!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love it!! i love robert pattinson and kristen stewart !!!


by kimberly on January 15 - 1:23 am PDT

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


by Jaclyn on January 15 - 5:37 am PDT

I think he might be a good candidate for eclipse but you know it doesn’t seem like he has that much of movies he has made =/ but idk maybe he might make eclipse good but I think if chris weitz does good on new moon then why not have him the director again? idk how I feel about the changing directors….


by Anneke on January 15 - 9:11 am PDT

i thought the director of new moon will do eclipse too. didn’t someone say that before getting chris weitz? i’m not sure. didn’t that guy get an oscar or something?


by BrittanyBlair on January 15 - 10:46 am PDT

hmm should be interesting


by rowena on January 15 - 10:51 am PDT

i hope he does eclipse if he is that good. I would love for the fanbase to grow out and really smoke those critics.


by Melissa Cullen on January 15 - 3:36 pm PDT

OMG!!! THIS WOULD BE SOO COOL!!!

I can tell by his picture that he’d be a really fun and nice director!!! Not to mention, I think he’d be soo perfect!!!

I was okay/happy with Chris Weitz of New Moon! And this guy for Eclipse makes me happy/ecstatic!!!

Woo! Lets hope it’s true!


by SARAH on January 15 - 4:42 pm PDT

He has done some amazing movies but honestly, why can’t they just keep the same director??
