The past week has brought about a flurry of names being rumored to direct the third movie in the Twilight series, Eclipse. Never mind the fact that the second movie isn’t done yet after already having a directorial upheaval. Fans want to know who’s going to be calling the shots on the third movie, and Hollywood insider Nikki Finke seems to have the answer.

Finke writes on her blog that Juan Antonio Bayona is the name being confirmed behind closed doors by Summit Pictures, the studio behind the Twilight movies. We reported that rumor earlier in the week, pointing out that a vampire flick seems like a good match for Guillermo del Toro’s protégé. It sounds like he has the job locked up, at least secretly.

I’m a little surprised with the route Summit is taking with the Twilight franchise, dumping Catherine Hardwicke after her popularly received job directing the first movie. Now it sounds like her replacement, Chris Weitz, is only down for one movie as well. On one hand, it makes sense; Summit is interested in grinding these movies out quickly, and separate directors means each movie can move ahead in pre-production while the current movie is filming. On the other hand, there’s a lost sense of consistency when you shuffle directors as each one brings in their own unique style.

We’ll wait for the official word, but if Finke says Bayona is the man, it’s likely to be true.

UPDATE: This has now been confirmed in Variety, so here we go; three films, three directors.
