Let’s hope for the sake of the series and the fans, reports that James Mangold (“3:10 To Yuma”) and Juan Antonio Bayona (“The Orphanage”) are involved in the third “Twilight” film, “Eclipse,” turn out to be true. Why’s that?
Because rush-happy Summit Entertainment have already greenlit the third installment in the series and it’s being set for less than 8 months after, “New Moon,” on June, 30 2010 according to Variety.
EW already confirms because of the super tight turnaround, Chris Weitz will not direct.
Bummer for him, he maybe thought he might be on board for the full ride? Seems like they’re taking the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise approach to their rotating cast of filmmakers at the helm.
