Seems like the Hardwike rumors are confirmed (?)

[Arre]

This is from IMBD.com:

"Director Catherine Hardwicke has been "fired" from the two upcoming Twilight sequels that Summit Entertainment greenlit after the first one made $69.6 million on its opening weekend. Hardwicke's Twilight broke the record for biggest opening for a female directed film, but apparently she was "difficult and irrational during the making of Twilight." One thing that I kept hearing from fans was that the directing seemed to hold the film back, so this news may come as a good sign for some."

Actually, now don't hate me, but I'm relieved at this news. Let me explain. I really don't think that Hardwicke did a very good job with translating SM's work to the big screen. Some of that also has to do with the screenplay I think.

Hardwicke said that she wanted to portray the sexual tension that SM did so very well in her books. I think Hardwicke failed miserably. The movie only did so well because SM and Twilight have such a large following, not for anything the director did.

I'm so glad she's off the project! I just hope they get a better director instead of just a new one.
