Drew Barrymore is in negotiations to direct "Eclipse", the third follow-up in the "Twilight" franchise. What in the heck is going on? Are they worried the fans will outgrow the series if they don't push these flicks out immediately? First Catherine Hardwick, director of "Twilight", was said to be outed - only to turn around and reveal that it was her decision. She feared the pace in which producers are quickly pushing the films wouldn't be conducive to a solid sequel. Time will tell if she's correct. Chris Weitz is a great director as well. Is he already getting shoved out of the way? Filming has barely started - why are they already looking to change directors? Granted, I think Drew Barrymore would be an interesting choice. We'll soon be seeing her director chops with her debut, "Whip It!" starring Ellen Page. It should be noted that her production company, Flower Films, brought the world the cult film "Donnie Darko" so she might have some insight into the genre. Either way, it's a whirlwind!
