Twilight 2 and 3, New Moon and Eclipse, to Film Back to Back?
Yes, says the Acting Auditions blog, which lists upcoming auditions for movies and TV shows. According to the blog, Summit Entertainment is planning to shoot not one, but two “Twilight” sequels back-to-back in order to save on the cost of production. The first sequel we already know will be based on the Stephenie Meyer book “New Moon”, and since “Eclipse” is the third book in the series, it would only make sense that it would be the third installment in the mo

'Twilight' Sequels Being Shot Back-to-Back, Director in the Compass?
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.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Take Twilight To Paris (Photos)
Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were in Paris (I’ve heard it’s one of the most romantic places on earth!) yesterday to continue their small promotional tour all over Europe. The stars looked absolutely dazzling as always but this time Robert opted for a simple black look while Kristen went a little wild with the black and white printed dress that looks great on her! Sad news for some, great news for others: Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke (pictured below) won’t

Twilight 'New Moon' Director Speculation Runs Rampant, Chris Weitz Taking Over The Franchise?
Accusations and speculation are flying all over the Internet after this weekend's announcement that Catherine Hardwicke and Summit Entertainment parted ways on the "Twilight" franchise. On the anti-Summit side you've got any number of writers, including Jeffrey Wells, accusing Summit of being a "boy's club" and bringing up feminism and girl power. On the anti-Hardwicke side you've got Nikki Finke quoting "inside sources at Summit" calling her "'difficult' and 'irrational' during the making of 'T

Summit Intent on Ruining \"New Moon\"
I was livid when I read that Summit was not going to go with Catherine Hardwicke for the popular "Twilight" sequel - the biggest money-making female director ever. It wasn't that Hardwicke wasn 't asked; she was, but while she wanted time to develop the script a bit and film on location in Italy, Summit decided to go with crappier plan B and fast-track the film for spring production so they could turn a quick buck.

Twilight war on set!
Despite Twilight's record-breaking $70 million opening — the highest ever for a movie directed by a woman — director Catherine Hardwicke is out for the upcoming sequel. What happened? According to an insider, Catherine clashed with Stephenie Meyers, the author of Twilight and New Moon, who wants the sequel to stay truer to the second book. And Catherine also butted heads with star Robert Pattinson.

Golden Compass Director To Helm Twilight 2?
It was pretty shocking to me when I heard the news that Twilight director, Catherine Hardwicke, would not be returning to direct the sequel. Twilight made truck loads of money and because the highest opening weekend box office take of any film directed by a woman in history. Yes it met with some critical abuse… but when the film makes big money that usually doesn’t matter. So last week the studio and Hardwicke jointly announced (rather suspiciously I might add) that Hardwicke woul
