Well this has to be the oddest news in the Twilight world.

And thats saying a lot for the film franchise which has seen its director changed - twice , had issues with the youth of its cast , seen High School Musical kids involved and possibly snagged Dakota Fanning..

For the third installment of the Edward and Bella franchise Eclipse which has a US release date of June 2010, there's been talk of a new director being needed.

Well the internet's gone into meltdown over the weekend with multiple sources such as UK film magazine Empire and E!Online as well as Entertainment Weekly reporting DREW BARRYMORE could be in line to helm Eclipse.

Barrymore's apparently just wrapped her directorial debut called Whip it with Ellen Page (of Juno fame) and could be behind the lens for Eclipse.

A rep for Barrymore's refused to comment when confronted with the rumour.

So Twihards what do you make of that - would we see Edward's Angels?

    I am a Twilight Addict for sure! I am Team Jakeward all the way, lol. I reckon Eclipse should be the best version of all for movies... but the books kick butt much more! But if you've read the books, I don't think it matters at all whether this one will live up to expectations, cause the stories have already captured our hearts!

    Well what can I say, I am a total Twilight addict! I love the two films so far- but love the books a whole lot more! They NEED to make Breaking Dawn into 2 films. There are just sooo many amazing parts to it that so many [important] things will end up getting missed out! It is kinda essential that it's made into two films! Please, make two films!

    I ahve to say that Jacob is who I would go with because of his looks but he hasn't got the personality that Edward has. If I were Bella and Jacob had the personality of Edward you would have the best guy in the world!!
