Who Should Replace Hardwicke on New Moon?

RE: Comments

I would choose directors like steven spielberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, or Micheal Bay. I am sure they will stick to the book. I thought Catherine Hardwicke was lame because she twisted the whole movie around. I love the books I read them thoroughly and she didn't get it exactly right and i got mad. After I watched the movie i read the book and i realized that she didn't put as much stuff from the book most of the stuff that she put did not happen like him coming out of the car to kill those guys supposidly never happened he opened the door for her.

:D

I didn't like catherine and i hope that the new director is better.

Well, as long as we don't get someone who will completely destroy the movie, then I'd be good.

Alfonso Cuaron did an okay job with Prisoner of Azkaban, but I still was disappointed with the movie.

All I care about is that the movie isn't destroyed. Keep up with Catharine's base, and we'll be good.

I would prefer that Summit re-negotiate with Hardwick, as she has set the tone for the original film and as a fan of the series will work very hard to make it the best it could be.

However, if I had to pick another director, I think Joss Whedon would be great! He is so very talented and can do both drama and comedy well.

Summit needs to find a director who understands the heart of the books, the relationship of Bella and Edward. It isn't all of the obsessive stuff, it's the story of two imperfect people who don't want to hurt each other but can't deny that they truly belong and help each other be stronger than they are without the other. Everything else that happens is the journey that gets them to that point.

Summit, remember that we as fans went to the movie "Twilight" more than once (4 times in my case)not because we were enthralled with it, but because we were hopeful that by supporting it, the sequels will become what we hoped to see in the first movie.

Improve the special effects, no more cat like crouches or road runnner like wire work. No more crazy camera angles. Get rid of the weird makeup.

The new director needs to find a better balance with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in that I see their desire for the intensity of their roles but that he/she can reign them in and remind them that as an audience, we need to feel the joy as well as hopelessness. Remember, in the end, they have joy from finding each other even through all of the drama.

The most important thing I hope for is that the new director does not buy into the idea that Edward needs to be shown during the time Bella has to survive without him in "New Moon". I think that the worst thing they could do is try to show us what is going on with him. As an audience, we need to have the same agonizing feelings of lost as Bella does during those months that drag past so that when we do get to see him again in Italy, we have the same elation and despair as she does.

Summit, if you find a director who can do these things, I could care less if it is a female or male director, just the right one.

I don’t think that what will effect the moves out come is more about a cheep the studio is, if they are willing to pay for a dissent director, because all on the list from Michael Bay to Stephen Sommers who would be totally awesome , just don’t think the studio can afford them to be franc, which is the reason why the choose Catherine in the first place. 30-40 million is what Tiwilight cost, and that lack of financing really shows in scenes and even poor editing. And New moon is a much more complex movie due to location like Italy and werewolves. So unless they increase the budget a decent movie won’t be made. Maybe they should get whoever directs Smallville, because a think that person knows how to work with limited tv budget and still make it look believable.

But I think a perfect director would be Christopher Nolan who did the Dark Knight, I think he would get the dark conflicted mood of the book and the affects. Christopher Nolan would be perfect if the studio summet stopped being so cheap.

I can't believe Twilight fans aren't suggesting Stephenie Meyer for the director. She would make sure the movie would stay true to the book and pick the cast members without controversy and she'll do awesome! We'll have to have a really awesome special effects person/team to help her out. It would rock if she could direct the rest of the movies.
I liked Catherine though. I'm sad, but there are other awesome directors out there.

  I agree!! Stephenie would be awesome!! If they assigned an assistant director to help her, of course. she would be wonderful!! great idea.

nohophoenix- I like your thinking! I love his directing. And he has a wide range of generes he has done and is looking at doing.

RE: Comments

I Think Michael Bay :)
He directs transformers and is great with Special effects and thats what new moon need with the wolves and such.
And Hardwicke was ok but the stunts and effects in twilight were Cheezy and looked waaaay fake.
I think Michael Bay would be perfect

RE: Comments

I think that Richard Kelly should direct New Moon
He directed Donnie Darko and he has an understanding of what dark should be!
New Moon is not a 'happy' film...

RE: Comments

Catherine Hardwicke back - or - a female director that Catherine entrusts.
