Cut and print! This rumor is true! Entertainment Weekly reports the actress is in talks with Summit Entertainment to direct the upcoming "Eclipse."

The 34-year-old recently wrapped her directorial debut "Whip It!" -- a dramedy about an indie-rock misfit who discovers a nearby roller derby -- and stars Drew, Ellen Page and Jimmy Fallon.

"Eclipse" is scheduled to be in theatres June 30, 2010.

This is ridiculous! Summit could set themselves up for life if this series is succesful, but Drew Barrymore as director….give me a break!!! Her first movie directing isn’t even out yet, and I’m sure she didn’t use special effects, at least not to the extent that will be needed for Eclipse. Summit could very well ostracize the fanbase that made Twilight so successful if they put Drew in the director seat. I’m hoping this is a HORRIBLE rumor.

OMG…..I love the books, but I want them to stick with one good director..I might not want Chris to do it I just want to see how New Moon comes out… Twilight was horrible it was so disapointing it wasn’t like the book at all. It could have been ten times better.

Drew Barrymore is the wrong pick for this movie. Definitely need a director that has a vision and more creativity like the Harry Potter directors. I hope they do not pick Barrymore.

Go ahead Summit. You idiots. Continue to drag this series thru the mud. You’d never know millions of dollars were on the line the way your acting. What the heck has Drew Barrymore done to deserve this? The movies’ may not be critically acclaimed but they’re paying some bills I’m sure. You should be giving the series to some of the best. How do you expect to get a continuity between the films if you keep switching directors?

Awesome yes! I hope this destroys all the Twilight crap and brings that garbage writer Meyer down.

I read on Summits page that Chris Weitz will now direct Eclipse. He thought he wouldn’t be able to do it but will.
