'Twilight' director won't return for sequel
www.usatoday.com - 8th Dec 2008
Stephenie Meyer: Summit Entertainment, which released
Twilight last month, says the scheduled release of New Moon in late 2009 or early 2010 conflicts with Hardwicke's. The film, based on the second book in
Stephenie Meyer's series, continues to follow the forbidden relationship between vampire Edward Cullen and high schooler Bella Swan.
Hardwicke, whose previous films include Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown, had the highest opening ever for a female director when
Twilight made nearly $70 million in its first weekend. It's grossed over $138 million in three weeks.
