Drew Barrymore has confirmed speculation that she is in the running to direct the third instalment in the Twilight saga.

The Charlie's Angels star has reportedly been included in a shortlist of Summit Entertainment's possible candidates to helm Eclipse, which is scheduled for release in summer 2010.

"I'm one of the directors that is being talked about, which is great because I'm a director now," Access Hollywood quotes her as saying.

"But, you know, they'll make their choice."

The first film in the franchise was helmed by Catherine Hardwicke, with The Golden Compass director Chris Weitz taking over the reins for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Barrymore recently made her directorial debut in upcoming comedy Whip It!, which stars Ellen Page as a misfit who enters a roller derby.
