Ok, previously it was reported that Paul Weitz was set to direct the third film in the Twilight series Eclipse, but the actual director who will be doing it is  Juan Antonio Bayona director of The Orphanage. 

Summit Entertainment has tapped Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona to direct”Eclipse,” the third pic in the ”Twilight” vampire series.

Summit, which had no comment Wednesday, is expected to make the official announcement soon. The minimajor recently gave “Eclipse” a release date of June 30, 2010.

Bayona’s a protege of Guillermo Del Toro. He directed the Spanish-language horror-thriller ”The Orphanage,” which was exec produced by Del Toro, and is attached to helm the Universal thriller “Hater,” with Del Toro and Mark Johnson producing.

This is good news, at least now there is somebody working on it that has an actual history of dark storytelling. Then again, if it’s anything like the first Twilight movie, it’ll probably be bad anyway.
