Will Paul Weitz direct 'Eclipse,' the third 'Twilight' film?

Praise the heavens and thank the "Twilight" gods!

Drew Barrymore may NOT direct "Eclipse" after all.

Robert Pattinson could be safe! For now ...

According to the Twilighters website, "New Moon" director Chris Weitz's brother, Paul Weitz, will direct the third "Twilight" installment.

It reports: There have been rumors circulating that Drew Barrymore will be directing the third installment of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series. These rumors are false. Due to the New Moon post-production schedule for director Chris Weitz, his brother and co-owner of "Depth of Field Productions" -- Paul Weitz -- will be directing Eclipse.

It is not the only "Twilight"-obsessed site reporting this. But so far, there's no official confirmation -- or official denial -- of who will, or won't, direct "Eclipse" for Summit Entertainment.

We've reached out for comment, but still no word back.

What do you think? Did Summit get a director-team recession two-fer?

After all, Paul and Chris co-directed "About a Boy," "Down to Earth" and "American Pie."
