As The Dame reported to you last week, “New Moon” director, Chris Weitz will not direct the third “Twilight” film “Eclipse” due to time constraints (i.e. Summit Entertainment is pushing hard for the third movie to be released during the prime summer 2010 season against such films as “The Avengers” and the final “Harry Potter” film).
Summit announced today that they are already talking to a select group of directors to take control of “Eclipse” and one of those people is actress turned director (and former rehab star) Drew Barrymore.
Via EW.com:
“While this news may come as a surprise to some, Barrymore did just finish work on her directorial debut, ‘Whip It!’ starring Ellen Page.”
Choosing Drew is a bad choice on behalf of Summit. Not only does Barrymore only have the one film under her director’s belt, but “Whip It” is a movie about women in a Roller Derby, not even close to vampire armies and werewolves that will require use of CGI and other special effects. Perhaps she should stick to her day job of starring in chick-flicks and peddling Cover Girl mascara to the masses.

Crista,
Your cat called. He wants his claws back.
WTF???? You have got to be kidding me! This requires someone with experience and a lot more talent than she’ll be able to contribute. OMG! I hope they come to their senses — and soon!
Matt,
Your wife called. She says stop wearing her underwear.
Crista
Umm no. That is just not right. Drew Barrymore?! Eclipse is my favorite book of the series. Drew Barrymore, eh? Wow I don’t think that will happen…at least I hope Summit has some sense.
Oh Twihard rumours. How you make me laugh!!! There is NO WAY this is remotely plausible. I will not let it entertain my thoughts anymore. It is not truly possible.
What the heck is going on here? As if this 'Twilight' series wasn't bad enough in the first place.
