Juan Antonio Bayona has emerged as the leading candidate to direct third Twilight movie Eclipse, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Bayona, a protégé of Guillermo del Toro, last directed Spanish-language horror The Orphanage. James Mangold and Drew Barrymore have recently been linked with the Eclipse director's chair.

"I'm one of the directors that is being talked about," said Barrymore, who will make her debut with upcoming comedy Whip It!

The second movie in the Twilight saga, New Moon, will begin production this year with Chris Weitz at the helm.
