Drew Barrymore to Direct Twilight Sequel?

Okay, we love Drew Barrymore…or at least we did before we saw He’s Just Not That Into You which she should be ashamed for producing, but we’re willing to forgive and forget.

We are not, however, willing to cut her this much slack.

Drew is reportedly in the running to direct Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight series.

Sigh.

As if that movie weren’t already on the brink of disaster.

Barrymore just finished her directorial debut, Whip It! starring Ellen Page, but walking into a film like Eclipse, which will have a rock solid release date and a slap-and-tickle script, needs a director with extensive experience and knowledge.

Drew’s been in the biz since she was a zygote, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to tackle Twilight.

Just look at her track record as a producer.

Yes, she was behind Never Been Kissed and Charlie’s Angels, but the CA sequel suuucked as did Duplex, Fever Pitch and He’s Just Not That Into You, which was offensively bad.

Eclipse will be a beast to tackle, and we don’t think Drew is up to it.
