The cast of Twilight?
Yes, I know, it seems like Twilight media day on here so far. Since the rumor mill has been a brewing away with tons of Twilight news, the latest is from something that almost everyone thought was confirmed already (including myself). The Orphanage director Juan Antonio Bayona is now apparently up in the air with being the creative captain on the third installation in the Twilight series, Eclipse.
Surprisingly, it is not Bayona who’s saying that this is not set in stone but the people from Summit Entertainment who have their hands on the entire Twilight franchise. The president of production at Summit Entertainment (Erik Feig) stepped out amongst the flurry of reports on the director, stating “The Eclipse directing job hasn’t been offered to Juan Antonio or anyone else. We’ve met with three or four talented filmmakers and we’ll be meeting with three or four more other candidates before we make any decision. No one has been offered the job.”
So now Bayona is back in the race among other directors such as Drew Barrymore (Whip It!), Paul Weitz (Cirque du Freak) and James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma). I have no idea what to guess as far as the final choice of the director goes, but it would be nice to know that most of us movie sites were right if Summit comes out with an announcement early next week saying that Bayona got the job. Filming is currently going on for the second movie in the franchise, New Moon.
