Report: Summit Entertainment says no director hired for “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” yet, so does this mean Drew Barrymore still has a chance?

Summit Entertainment, just denied reports that a director has been hired for “Eclipse”. So this means, that the Spanish horror director, Juan Antonio Bayona, getting hired is just a silly rumour. This also means that an opportunity for Drew Barrymore is still open.

I really want Summit Entertainment to give “Eclipse” to Drew. I really think she can do a good job with the “Twilight” movies. She’s a big fan of the horror genre and I think she can make it work.

So Drew, you can now sigh with relief about this news, Summit hasn’t picked anybody yet! Good luck to Drew, I hope she gets it.

In defense of Robert Pattison, this post is aimed toward the men that bash him…

I don’t know about you “Twilight” fans out there, but I am getting tired of guys bashing Robert Pattison for attracting many girls and making fun of his Edward Cullen character. Well yeah, of course. I think that’s pretty much the obvious reason Summit Entertainment hired Robert Pattison to be the leading Edward Cullen star. He’s simply a chick magnet.

I think we can safely say that guys who make fun of Robert Pattison over this, comes out of jealousy. Yep, there’s that word again. I know you’re getting sick of seeing that word in my blog, but I have to say it again to get my point across. I’m sure guys like myself wish we were as good looking as him. Us men probably wish we can get a huge crowd of girls following us everywhere we go, which we can’t do.

Robert Pattison is the Beatles of Hollywood. You know how back in the old days of the Beatles where girls would follow them everywhere? It is that era again, with Robert Pattison of “Twilight” this time. I actually find this Robert Pattison guy quite interesting, so I have nothing negative against the guy at all.

Even though he is not a vampire, of course, he looks almost exactly like one, which is another reason why he got the “Twilight” role. I have a feeling that the horror movie industry will be all over this guy. Once this dude, gets done filming the “Twilight” series, , I see Robert starring in a lot of adult R rated horror films. I see him playing vampire characters in various other vampire movies, possibly.

If he sticks with the horror genre after “Twilight”, I think he’ll become the most successful actor in the horror movie industry. He could be just as big as Robert Englund and all those guys.

All the girls loving Robert Pattison, and all the men hating on him, is only the beggining. It’s just proof that he’s on his way in becoming a legendary star in the making. Love him or hate him, gotta give the man credit. I think Robert is pretty cool and can’t wait for “New Moon” to hit theater!

Confirmed: Director found for “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and it isn’t Drew Barrymore, sorry…

I’m sure Drew Barrymore feels dissapointed about this news, sorry Drew. Summit Entertainment has signed their director for the third Twilight movie, “Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. His name is Juan Antonio Bayona. He’s a Spanish foreign director, about to get his first opportunity to direct a US film. He is a horror film director which his latest film is titled, “The Orphanage”.

Report: Drew Barrymore reveals she really wants to direct, “Twilight Saga: Eclipse”…

Drew Barrymore, speaks out on reports saying, it is true that she is one of the directors being considered to helm the third Twilight film, “Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. Sounds like she really wants the opportunity pretty badily, but she admits that it’s their choice on what director to choose, so this means it’s possible that she would not be chosen.

Knowing that Drew has starred in a couple of horror films in the past: “Cat’s Eye”, “Firestarter”, “Waxwork II”, etc. Yes, I think she has what it takes to direct a vampire film.

She probably has her own vision up her sleeve, which is why she wants to do it so badily.

They’ll give her the opportunity, I’m pulling for you Drew. This will be great for her.

EDIT To add: It’s either she’s dying to direct the third “Twilight” movie because she’s a big fan of the books or she’s dying for a hook up with Robert Pattison? Me thinks she wants to get shagged by the Edward Cullen star.

Teen star, Dakota Fanning, has officially signed to play alonside Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart in, “Twilight Saga: New Moon”. Dakota is set to play one of the main villains, she is playing Jane, a member of Italy’s evil Volturi.

Report: Drew Barrymore to direct “Twilight Saga’s: Eclipse”?

Drew Barrymore is reportedly in talks with Summit Entertainment to direct the third Twilight movie, “Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. I would think she would even have a small role in the film too, if she did get signed to helm the film.

See the news here:

Drew would be a perfect choice. She knows the teen and young generation genre more than anybody ’cause she’s starred in movies like those for most of her career. Drew has starred in horror films in the past before, so I think she would have no problem directing a “Twilight” movie. I’d say bring her on.

Confirmed: “New Moon” to be released Nov. 20th, 2009…

Summit Entertaintment already confirmed a release date to “New Moon” which will be directed by Chris Weitz, Melissa Rosenberg wrote the script. The film is confirmed for a release date of Nov. 20th. Due to no new “Harry Potter” film being released around Thanksgiving in 2009, this gave “New Moon” the opportunity to get another November date again as they did with the first movie, “Twilight”, was released November 21st earlier this year.

Hopefully the Nov. 20th, 2009 date is set in stone, because it’s possible there could be push backs if Chris Weitz doesn’t finish the movie in time. I hope Chris does a good job with it, I hope he stays true to the novel ’cause I feel that “New Moon” is better than the first. If you read the book, “New Moon”, it stays away from the romance, so there will be more thrills and chills in the next one. “New Moon” will be more violent too. Will it get a PG-13 rating because of it? Who knows.

Report: Chris Weitz been offered to direct “New Moon” by Summit Entertainment…

Summit Entertainment is not wasting any time trying to find a director replacement for “New Moon”. Summit Entertainment offered film director Chris Weitz an opportunity to direct the “Twilight” sequel. He is the director of such films as “The Golden Compass”, the first “American Pie” comedy film, and “About a Boy”.

I don’t like the director choice. I hope he turns it down and Summit finds a better choice. I still say go for either M. Night Shyamalan or Sam Raimi. Either of those two guys would improve the Twilight series for everyone to see it.
