This...scares me.

I, too, fear these films are going to be too "rushed". I haven't even seen Twilight yet, and I'm siding with Catherine Hardwicke on this one. And....making into a...horror? Eclipse? Isn't that a horror in-and-of itself? Do we not remember Bella cruising back and forth between Forks and La Push 80 million times and never having a problem? Where's the horror in that? The only horror I remember was Bella being a dope and leaving Alice's slumber party so she could go see Jacob. And don't even get me started on her not sleeping in Edward's new bed...

From Eonline:

Is Team Twilight ready to ratchet up the fright factor?

The latest name to emerge in the directing derby for the bloodsucking franchise's third installment, Eclipse, is Spanish helmer Juan Antonio Bayona, a protégé of Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy) best known for the stylish scarefest The Orphanage.

Per the Hollywood Reporter, Bayona joins a list of possible directors that also includes Drew Barrymore, James Mangold (Walk the Line) and Paul Weitz, brother of New Moon director Chris Weitz.

Although he's never directed an English-language film, Bayona apparently is being considered for his ability to handle the horror genre. Eclipse features an army of newborn vampires hunting down Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), culminating in a showdown with Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and the werewolves.

After piloting Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke dropped out over producer Summit Entertainment's desire to rush production on the follow-up, New Moon, and Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) signed on to direct the sequel, which is set to unspool in November.

No word when a final decision on an Eclipse director will be made. Reports from a Twilight fan site that Paul Weitz was a done deal are not true.
