Drew Barrymore has confirmed rumors that she is in the line-up of potential directors for the third Twilight film, Eclipse.

The He’s Just Not That Into You star – who recently finished work on her directorial debut, Whip It! starring Ellen Page – would replace New Moon director Chris Weitz, who replaced the original Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke.

“I’m one of the directors that is being talked about, which is great, because I’m a director now,” Barrymore said in a recent interview. “But, you know, they’ll make their choice.”

Eclipse us due for release in summer 2010.

New Moon – which stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning – hits theaters later this year.
