Though they’ve just started filming Twilight’s first sequel, New Moon, Summit Entertainment is already trying to lock up a director for the third movie, Eclipse. That’s actually somewhat strange. Chris Weitz has barely begun work on Twilight 2 and they’re already looking to replace him. Either Weitz has been adamant that he’s done after one, or Summit has decided to take a page from Harry Potter and do the franchise director hokey-pokey. Stranger still, EW says they may be looking to replace him with Drew Barrymore.

Drew has just finished shooting her directorial debut, an Ellen Page movie called Whip It!. She’s helmed one movie, which makes her a newbie, especially compared with the experienced directors Summit hired for the first two films. Right now she’s just one of a select group of directors Summit is talking to, making this merely an oddball possibility. Drew Barrymore seems an unlikely candidate for Summit to entrust its mega-franchise to.
