Bayona sounds a shoe-in for Eclipse director chair

Forget the rumor mills of gossip columns. Reliable Hollywood source Nikki Finke reports: "I can confirm that Summit Entertainment is telling Hollywood privately that Juan Antonio Bayona will direct Eclipse. It's a very out-of-the-box choice for the 3rd movie in the "Twilight Saga" series of Stephenie Meyer vampire novels being hurried to the big screen by the start-up studio. (I guess it doesn't matter that other sources tell me Bayona hasn't yet met Stephenie, huh?)"

Juan Antonio Bayona, director of 'The Orphanage,' and a scene from the film (below), which was backed by acclaimed Mexican director Guillermo del Toro.

    I peg him more for a "Breaking Dawn" director, but hopefully he'll do "Eclipse" justice! (As long as he doesn't have that freaky kid in the flick!)
