Drew Barrymore Won’t See The Twilight
Contrary to recent reports and hope from Drew Barrymore’s fans, the actress will not be directing the third installment of the Twilight Vampire series.
Instead of Barrymore, Spanish director, Juan Antonio Bayona has landed the director gig and will begin filming “Eclipse,” which is set to be an exciting addition to the Vampire narrative, Us Magazine reports.
Barrymore will make her directorial debut later this year with a comedic film called “Whip It.” The film takes an inside look into the rapidly growing sport of Roller Derby, which has been making a vicious and popular comeback in the last year. Filmschoolrejects.com reports that “it’s a coming-of-age tale about a girl who finds her identity through the power of roller derby, based on Shauna Cross’ novel, Derby Girl.” Juliette Lewis and Ellen Page will star in the film.
So far, each installment of Twilight has opted for a different director, making each film an entity in its own right.
