Ten Director Suggestions for New Moon

Posted 12.11.08 by reelz

The news that Twilight's sequel, New Moon, will not be directed by Catherine Hardwicke hit fans like a ton of bricks this week. Twilight's $69 million opening marked the biggest opening take ever for a female director and the flick has already passed $160 in worldwide box office. Top stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have reportedly reacted negatively to the news. Now the legion of card-carrying members of the Twilight fandom are wondering whether Summit has the best interests of the franchise at heart or is just hoping to cash in on the fad as quickly as possible.

We can complain all day about Hardwicke's departure, but like it or not, what's done is done. She's moving on and the Twilight fans must do the same. Instead of griping, we've decided to take a look at the directors we think could be a worthy replacement. Here's Ten Director Suggestions for New Moon.

This post seems to assume that all fans are upset that Hardwicke won't be back for the sequel. Granted, I'm dealing with a small sample size (my husband, my high school students both current and former, a few of my colleagues, and 43 year-old me), but I can't think of anyone with whom I've talked about the situation who isn't ecstatic that there is going to be a change. Some of the major problems that we found with the movie dealt with character interpretation (Edward's being far too often bumbling and awkward rather than smooth and dazzling, Bella's sounding as if she were searching for words and stammering her way through a number of lines), and ultimately, the director has the final say on this issue. I know that many people hope that the characters that we see in the remaining films will be much closer to the ones that we've read in the novels. . . and if the first one was any indication, it's going to take a different director to make that happen.
