Who will direct the final installment in the Twilight saga, Eclipse? As we reported earlier Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona has become one of the front runners to helm the third film along with James Mangold and Drew Barrymore. Depending on each person’s interpretation of the book the film can be a definite hit or miss. I’m personally going for Bayona. I think he would have a fresh perspective on the story and end the series on a high note. Mangold is a talented man in his own right, but I don’t know if he would put his all into a teen novel adaptation. Barrymore is young and I’m all for her making the transition to director, but I don’t think this is the film for her to do it.
