They have finally announced the director choice for the third Twilight film, Eclipse.
The first was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and the second Chris Weitz, and due to the fast paced production schedule of putting out 2 and 3 within 7 months of eachother, Summit Ent. had to hire a third director for the third film.
The choice was none other than David Slade. Slade directed movies such as 30 days of night and Hard Candy. Surely a great addition to the Twilight franchise.
The series author, Stephanie Meyer expressed her delight over the decision;
“I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing Eclipse,” expressed Meyer. “He’s a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise. From the beginning, we’ve been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight saga, and I’m so happy that Eclipse will be carrying on with that tradition.”
Eclipse is set for a June 2010 release date.
