As we slog through the fallow period between “Twilight” franchise films — months before the June arrival of “Eclipse” and with no official announcement about production on “Breaking Dawn ” — we can’t help but start to do a bit of wondering. Can director David Slade’s “Eclipse” out-gross $288-million-and-counting “New Moon“? Will “Dawn” eventually become two films, or just one? And who will direct it?

On that last question, the “Twilight” cast has not been shy with their thoughts about who would be the best fit. Kristen Stewart and Kellan Lutz have thrown their support behind “New Moon” helmer Chris Weitz. Jamie Campbell Bower, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed have all eyed Tim Burton as the guy who can best bring the film — or films — to the big screen. Meanwhile, Summit Entertainment is rumored to want Weitz to return to the franchise.

With all these various opinions floating around, MTV News put the directorial question to “New Moon” werewolf Chaske Spencer when we caught up with the actor on the red-carpet premiere of “Youth in Revolt.” His answer might scare you.

“I like both directors, David and Chris,” he told us. “It’s kind of a joke, but it’d be kind of cool to see what Rob Zombie does, if they ever choose to do him. That’d be cool. That’d be an interesting movie.”

The metalhead turned filmmaker has directed a string of horror flicks, including “The Devil’s Rejects” and two “Halloween” films. And there are undeniable horror-esque moments in “Dawn,” from a fetus that begins to injure Bella Swan as it rapidly grows in her womb to her bloodily violent birth. Somehow, though, we imagine Zombie would be less adept when it comes to capturing the continuing love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob.

So we’ll have to stay tuned on that one. In the meantime, does Spencer have a feeling if “Dawn” will become two films or one? Any insider knowledge to throw our way?

“I have no idea,” he said. “I’ll probably find out more from my agent later on in the week. I have no clue.”

I don’t understand why Rob or Kristen would want to work with Weitz. You want to work with someone who brings out the best in you. Catherine Hardwicke got amazing performances from them in Twilight including amazing sexual tension and Chemistry. That’s what people fell in love with all over the world. Chris Weits’s Edward and Bella looked so awkard and zombie -like on screen I was shocked. My friend and I were so disappointed whenever B&E were on screen. The beginning was poorly done and the ending was poorly done. We couldn’t wait for the reunion scene and it was a total letdown. Many of the reviews eluded to that fact as well. Weitz never established the love that would make Bella put herself in so much danger throughout the movie just to see visions of Edward. I have to say I’m a little worried Eclipse will be the same.

I will have to disagree with Alice. No movie will ever amount to the books in general. I beleive that both of the directors so far have done a well job, didn’t capture nearly all that I would have wanted in both the flims but mainly in twilight Catherine left alot out. If you never read the books before the flim then you would just have a glimpse of the Bella and Edward love.
As for the rest of the movies I hope that Summit will be able to bring more to the table, espically in Breaking Dawn. It would be a waste if they screw that movie(s) up.

Tim Burton???? NO WAY! His movies are always so wierd! I really don’t think that would suit the Twilight franchise very well.

I had problew whith Hardwicke’s interpretation of Edward as he’s way funnier in the book than the movie. However, she did a great job of interpreting their love. Weitz failed miserably on that front. I even went back and read the begining and and the reunion again and yes From the love story angle he’s the wrong director. There was zero chemistry in New Moon. There was so much pandering it became cheesy after a while. You can sum up New Moon in two words. Taylor’s chest.
