The third film in the Twilight series has already been given the go ahead, that's before the second is really underway. Chris Weitz has passed on directing duties for Eclipse, so now the makers are on the look out for someone else. Entertainment Weekly, through Jo Blo, say that Drew Barrymore is a potential director. She is talking to the studio about the possibility after directing her first film, Whip it! Early days though, so it could all fall apart. Could be interesting.

Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal are to team up in a film version of the musical, Damn Yankees. Gyllenhaal will play a man obsessed with a professional baseball team, who makes a deal with the devil to help his team. He is then transformed into a great baseball player, in exchange for his soul. His get out clause is only available in the middle of the World Series. Carrey will play the devil, who tries to stop Gyllenhaal going back to his old life. A contemporary musical with Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal, can't wait to see this one. The news is from Variety.
