It was a bit surprising to hear that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke would not be returning to helm Twilight 2 (also known as “New Moon”). Yes the movie got mixed reviews… but it also made dump trucks of money. However, she’s gone.
Last week we talked about how “Golden Compass” and “About A Boy” director Chris Weitz was being talked to about taking over. Apparently it’s now become official. Deadline Hollywood gives us this open letter that the new director is publicly putting to all the fans:
I’ve mentioned before that I think Weitz is a capable director and this could be a pretty good move.
Some people are complaining that a male director can’t properly do a “chick flick”. Really??? Maybe you haven’t hear of a little film called “The Notebook” which was directed by Nick Cassavetes, whom I last heard had a penis.
