ECLIPSE his predecessors?

by Matt Holmes

Now there's a choice that shows the Twilight film series might become something a little less passable for me in the future. Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily claims that David Slade, director of Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night has met with author Stephenie Meyer and the producers behind the third Twilight movie Eclipse. No deal is signed yet. But we do know that the producers have also met with Juan Antonio Bayona(The Orphanage). I'm liking their desire to hire someone with a distinctive individual voice, and not a paint by numbers helmer like Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) who is making New Moon, a movie I certainly won't be seeing.
