'Twilight' Sequels Being Shot Back-to-Back, Director in the Compass?
Tuesday, December 9, 2008

This weekend it was announced that Catherine Hardwicke was fired from New Moon, the sequel to Summit Entertainment's smash hit Twilight. The same source that broke that news, Deadline Hollywood, reports that Chris Weitz has been offered the opportunity to not only direct NEW MOON, but also Eclipse, the third adaptation in the four book franchise by Stephenie Meyer. The site reports that Weitz is considering the offer and that he might direct NEW MOON and ECLIPSE back-to-back (awesome, pound e'm out and get 'em out of our lives). Why this choice is interesting is because Weitz recently directed THE GOLDEN COMPASS for New Line Cinema, which was one of the potential reasons for their downfall. Watch for official news this week.

They should hire Ewe Boll.

You should be shot for even making that joke. The Boll is not something to laugh about, he is a serious disease. *chuckles*

Great! Maybe B-D can do back-to-back coverage as well so we can move on to other things?

please stop trying to shove this shit down our throats. Not horror, it's fantasy. It's 'Dawson's Creek' with fangs.

I'm with apk420kane on this one. I know it's about vampires and everything, but come on... The amount of B-D readers who actually give a shit about this Twilight bullshit has got to be around 7% tops.

Aiming kind of high with 7%. I wouldn't go over 2%, I mean I thought this movie was as boring and drawn out as can be, then again I stopped watching it after about 30 minutes into it because I just couldn't take it anymore.

I had every expectation of hating Twilight, but found myself really enjoying it. I didn't think it was really a vampire film, though. But, and get this... when I come over to this site, I actually get to choose which stories I want to read and comment where I want to comment. And if I don't want to read about Twilight, I don't have to... but I appreciate that BD is completist enough to offer the film a degree of coverage and I'm actually sad to see Hardwicke leave as I thought her visual style was fantastic.

I WATCHED THE MOVIE 1ST AND THEN BOUGHT THE BOOKS........THE MOVIE DID NOT DO THE BOOKS JUSTICE!!!....NOW WITH HARDWICKE NOT RETURNING WE WILL GET ANOTHER CRAP-TACULAR SEQUEL!!!!! I'M NOT EVEN GOING 2 WASTE MY TIME WITH #2 THE BOOKS R WAY BETTER ANY DAY!!!!!!
