Drew Barrymore has reportedly been tipped as a possible director for the third instalment in the Twilight franchise.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Summit Entertainment has included the Charlie's Angels actress in a shortlist of potential candidates to helm Eclipse.

Based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer, the story follows Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) as they investigate a series of murders that Edward believes have been committed by a vampire.

Last week, Summit announced that Eclipse would hit cinemas in summer 2010. Representatives for the company and for Barrymore have declined to comment.

Barrymore recently made her directorial debut in upcoming comedy Whip It! about a misfit (Ellen Page) who enters a roller derby league.
