Drew Barrymore confirmed in a recent interview that she’s being considered for directing Eclipse.
Drew Barrymore says she is excited about the possiblity of joining the hugely popular ‘Twilight’ franchise.
Barrymore, 34, confirmed in a recent interview that she’s being considered for ‘Eclipse,’ the third movie in the blockbuster vampire saga that began with ‘Twilight’ last year, the Associated Press reports. “I’m one of the directors that is being talked about, which is great, because I’m a director now,” Barrymore said. “But, you know, they’ll make their choice.”
Chris Weitz (‘The Golden Compass’) is directing ‘New Moon,’ the second film based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series, after taking over the franchise from ‘Twilight’ director Catherine Hardwicke. ‘New Moon’ hits theaters this November, while ‘Eclipse’ is set for a summer 2010 release.

O_o I never knew she directed….hmm
first.
maybe she’ll be good 4 it………?
i think she’ll be an awesome directore
she did a great job producing Donnie Darko soo i have faith in her.
yaaaaaaaaaayyyy 1st comment!! get like me lol
wow i didn’t know she was a director, I hope she does good!
<3
I was iffy about it before, but I read up on it, and I’ve been hearing good things about her director skillz, so I wish her the best! Whatever happens, we just want someone AMAZING directing the books we love into some outstanding films! <3
First of all,,, y does the twilight series keep changing directors? y cant they just stay with one director?
Second,,, i didn’t know drew directed either.
I thought Chris Weitz’s brother was going to direct the movie
errmm i don’t know if this is good or not….i haven’t really seen anything she’s directed, so i’ll have to check up on that…
UMMMM…. DON’T GET ME WRONG I LOVE DREW BARRYMORE IT’S JUST… I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SHE HAS DIRECTED….DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY MOVIES SHE HAS DIRECTED???
hmm this could be interesting
o.O
drew barymore directs!? what the heck. i didn’t know that…
anyways, i’m not sure if she’s good or bad….hope she does well if she does end up directing it..
What is with all these celebs rumored or whatnot trying to get into the Twilight series seriously people back off…
ughh she had directed 1 movie before and suddenly shes a ‘director’ I mean really. I have nothing against her as an actress, but please stay away from eclipse.
im not panicking yet, cause i havent decided if drew is competent enough yet. plus, nothing is confirmed.
Y is it that the Twilight saga cannot seem to keep a director for more than one movie?? I recognize the name but I really can’t think of anything right off the top of my head that Drew has directed (or acted in). Does somebody know some movies she has done?
Actually I thought that I read Chris’s brother was going to direct Eclipse? Apparently they collaborate frequently.
I am not impressed with anything associated with Drew Barrymore, I don’t think she is a very good actress, she seems ill prepared to direct her own life…let alone a movie??? Just saying.
“because I’m a director now”. That just makes me laugh. Oh please have someone else direct!
hmmm, not sure how i feel about this. She makes me laugh, she has a childlike enthusiasm, but i’m not sure if i want her directing eclipse bcuz eclipse isn’t exactly childlike.lol.but we’ll c.
Ughh I do not want her directing Eclipse She is pretty much only a chick flick kind of actress and director we don’t need Eclipse to be some girly movie with no depth
So many directors…..will that be good for continuity???? She is such a flake….love some of her movies…I would rather they pick a director with some creds to their name, not some fly by night and wake up one day and say “hey I think I’d like to direct.” Drew…start off small,,,you’ll get eaten alive by this crew.
Not sure how I feel about this one since I haven’t seen her work yet. The first film she directed is “Whip it!” and comes out later this year. There are still many more directors they’re considering. To me, the name doesn’t matter so much as the quality and ability of the director. I just hope they choose the perfect one, whoever that may be! =]
Let’s see how Whip It does in the box office…
i thought it was meant to be chris weitz’s brother paul or whatever directing it? i thought this romour wasn’t meant to be true?
gawd dammit why the hell are all these actors with no damn talent trying out like drew barrymore omg seriously i can deal with dakota fanning because she is talented but drew barrymore GAH oh well i hope she doesn’t ruin the film compleately
luv her ♥
its drew barrymoore ! lol . Why would u let her direct the biggest twilight movie yet to come . Like would be the biggest mistake for summit . If she directs it will for sure tank and lose out on a bunch of money . Go do your charlie angel and leave twilight be with professionals
yay! shes awesome
Huh? Okay Why dose someone new have to direct this?
Okay… Any guesses on who is directing breaking dawn?
OME! i love her soo much! She’ll do an awsome job! =]
pleaseee nooo… She is not even a director!! The brother of chris should do it!!
We have to send a peticion or something…
pleasee dont let drew destroid eclipse!!!
stupid…
they just have to find a REAL director for this movie!!
As much as I love Drew Barrymore, I’m not so sure I want her to direct Eclipse because she’s completely new at this and I think someone more experienced should handle it…maybe she could be the director’s assisstant so she can see what it’s like working with such advanced material.
