Summit Entertainment is currently looking for a director for the big-screen version of "Eclipse," the third film in the popular "Twilight" series.

Last month Drew Barrymore came up as one of the candidates the studio is talking to, as did directors Paul Weitz and James Mangold, among others.

According to Steven Zeitchik at Risky Biz Blog, another hot contender for the job is Juan Antonio Bayona, the man behind the excellent horror flick "The Orphanage" (El Orfanato).

Summit hasn't made an official announcement yet, but Zeitchik says sources indicate Bayona may end up winning the race.

"Eclipse" will be released in theaters June 10, 2010. As for the next film in the series, "New Moon," it has just started shooting with Chris Weitz at the helm.

Bayona is also set to direct Universal's "Hater."

Wait, what? Who? For real?

That was pretty much my initial reaction when I first read Drew Barrymore is one of several candidates currently in the race to direct "Eclipse," the third "Twilight" flick.

According to EW, Summit Entertainment is apparently talking to a bunch of directors already, and that list includes Barrymore.

Just last week, Summit officially announced "Eclipse" will be released in theaters June 10, 2010. "New Moon," the second film in the series, has just started shooting with Chris Weitz at the helm.

Barrymore sounds like quite an odd pick, especially because she just completed her directorial debut, "Whip It!" Both Weitz and Catherine Hardwicke have at least a couple of films under their belt already.

Starring Ellen Page, "Whip It!" follows a teenager who finds a way of dealing with her misery after she discovers a roller derby league in Austin.

"New Moon" hasn't even launched into principal photography yet, but today Summit Entertainment officially announced "Eclipse," the third film in the "Twilight" saga.

According to Variety, Summit will release "Eclipse" June 30, 2010. No director is attached to the project at this point.

Chris Weitz will direct the sequel to "Twilight," which MTV says has undergone a title change and is now called "The Twilight Saga New Moon." At least that's what appears on the film's new art.

Robert Pattinson returns as Edward, while Kristen Stewart reprises her role as Bella. "Moon" is set for release Nov. 20, 2009.

"Twilight" was produced on a budget of $37 million and has grossed $188 million domestically.
