New moon update!!!!
Of an article [At press time, the director hadn't signed on for 'New Moon'... a good chance she will.In the event negotiations fail, Harwicke has long been attached to 'The Monkey Wrench Gang,' an adaptation of Edward Abbey's 1975 green-minded novel:]But the whole desicion of New Moon is based on keeping within a budget with filming parts possibly within Rome, and also while working with [several characters who must realistically morph from teenage boys into werewolves:]
Some news articles say they signed on and if the film did well they do the next film. Another article will make it sound as to admit she isn't signed, and they actually haven't got her yet. This article from MTV is thought provoking, and it has the director insights what she plans for New Moon. That is excellent, right on. I guess the news soon will be she's the director. I liked her; I liked Twilight, so sure why shake a tree?So it sounds as though she was surprised by her success, and is putting of any other projects she may have had had she not directed Twilight. That’s interesting if you like movies. [Hardwicke said of her March/April timetable, should she return to helm the pic. "We spent about a year and three months getting ['Twilight':] ready, between writing the script and casting. We could probably do things a little bit faster this time, but who knows? It depends. And sometimes you can do things really fast. You can get two editors on, and you can just zip through."-MTV]

Oh crap, this is news? I thought she would direct, I read an article that says: Harwicke has long been attached to 'The Monkey Wrench Gang,' an adaptation of Edward Abbey's 1975 green-minded novel This is a shame, the people love directors and the movies are always best with the same directors.

imdb has Catherine Hardwicke as New Moon's director for 2010. The MTV article implies rushing the movie up to get it out there faster by finding a new director.
I am embracing the change of director. I have high respects for Catherine Hardwicke's work, but Twilight is not her best work. I just hope that the chosen director will not turn New Moon into an MTV like movie. I would like the same feel of Twilight, but of course better. When would they be announcing the new director, anybody know? or perhaps possible candidates?
Catherine did okay on twilight but i really don't think she would of done a great job on New Moon...i hope they pick a good director!i read somewhere that they're going to start shooting the movie in March!
i'm so excited New Moon will be out by late 2009 or early 1010!! :)
I think they want to rush it out because they don't want the hype to die down which I'm fine with...I just hope that it is good no matter what!!!!
YESSSSSHHH!!!! NEW DIRECTOR 4 NEW MOON!!!!Hopefully its whoever directed the first 3 Harry Potter movies XD
I just heard n the radio that the real reason they need a new director is because cathrine actually quit. It said that they want Robert to be in new moon the movie way more than he was in the book so they are making a bunch of changes to the script and screenplay. Cathrine wanted to stay true to the books and so she decided not to be involved with New Moon. Maybe just a rumor but I really hope that whatever they decide to do doesn't change the whole thing to much...
Once again: I don't mind that if Its just flashes to what Edward is doing.
Bella's point of view is a bit limiting, so I really don't mind the movie being more in a third person point of view. The movie is after all an interpretation of the book. It might even give New Moon more depth on screen. I can't wait to see what they come up with. I hope it's not disappointing.
yeah i wouldn't mind either if they showed a couple of scenes of what edward is doing
Yeah that would be cool...New Moon is kind of slow in a lot of parts so maybe its a good thing! Plus who doesn't want more of Edward!=P
Mod
nice.. :)
http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment...I found this article this morning regarding New Moon and supposedly Kristen Stewarts reaction to a new director. Personally I think a new director would be great. There was definitely something off in Twilight. Some scenes flowed better than others. Sometimes the acting was great other times it was hard to watch. I wonder if new direction could fine tune these flaws. Let's hope so. And all this fuss that they are rushing things is silly. I hope they are careful to produce a good quality film but they are on a time crunch. Take a real good look at Robert Pattison. He's not getting any younger. As much as I love him as Edward it would have been a wiser choice to pick a younger actor for the part. This would have given all parties involved more time. I doubt in 6 years time Pattison could still play a 17 year old.
let us all hope there isn't another actors strike meanwhile
Arthur wrote: "let us all hope there isn't another actors strike meanwhile"Oh God that would suck right?! Do you know if the actors unions have renegotiated their contracts? I hated the writers strike. TV was awful there for awhile.
I just heard that Chris Weitz may be directing New Moon...Im not really familar with his work but I guess he directed "About a boy" and helped with "American pie"....
Well..About a Boy was pretty good. American Pie is duh-umb(Clique Talk)...
So Chris Weitz also directed The Golden Compass, which is good because that one had all the talking animals and the huge polar bears so with any luck he can pull off the wolves.
In the new article I just posted unter team emmett Kellan Lutz says filming starts in March...and hes for sure coming back!!!!!
Mod
anyway.. american pie? lol. funny. but mm.. porn.lol
Yeah but I hope they make him wax cuz I just don't picture his hard marble chest with hair...eeeewwww!!! lol
Golden Compass Director on New Moon?Deadline Daily Hollywood are reporting that Summit have the project out to Golden Compass director Chris Weitz (About a Boy). There’s a chance New Moon and Eclipse, the third book in the series, will be shot back-to-back, and if so Weitz will be on board to direct both. Nothing is confirmed as of yet, though, so don’t start blogging about it or anything till we can tell you for sure.
Got this from IMDB...
I know its says not confirmed but I couldn't resist....
Please keep in mind that the info I'm posting about the new director being Chris Weitz is just a rumor until its confirmed...I will try to update as soon as something is confirmed.
1537804 http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com...Another interesting New Moon article fresh off the presses. And here's a spoiler a "source" says that Summit doesn't want Taylor Lautner back. Possibly recasting Jacob. This makes me sad an nervous.
Like I said before...sad=(Heres some other Native American actors...but who will fit the part??

I wish they would use the dude from The Coven. It seems that he is well liked for the part in the Twilight community. Plus he's a hottie. :)

Angie really wants that guy from The Covenant, she posted it twice! lol!I strongly agree! Steven Strait is easy on the eyes and he has a very good looking smile. If they pick him I would surely be torn between the two lead men.
I agree..he's in sky high and he has long hair...super sexy!! But again I wonder if he's big enough...
I would love if they picked the guy from The Coven!I found this article on Entertainment Weekly about New Moon
"Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit’s aggressive production schedule turned her off. “She’d love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight,” says one. “It became clear that Summit didn’t have those same priorities.”
Indeed, at press time the second movie appeared to have little more than a rough first-draft working script. As Summit’s production president Erik Feig told EW during Twilight’s record-busting first weekend, “There is that first…script. All the finesse that turns a screenplay into a movie hasn’t happened yet.” Two weeks later, Summit is saying it’s happy with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg’s progress.
Another of Hardwicke’s primary concerns was that hunky vampire Edward remains MIA throughout New Moon’s middle portion. In her own opening-weekend interview, she told EW, “You have to get the chemistry as strong between Jacob and Bella as it was between Bella and Edward. You also have to do something with that arc: She’s in love with somebody, he disappears, she falls in love with someone else, and the first guy comes back. Movies like Pearl Harbor have tried it. It absolutely didn’t work.”
With or without Hardwicke, Summit faces other snags. Two sources tell EW the studio doesn’t want to rehire baby-faced Taylor Lautner (pictured) as Jacob, though Lautner’s agent has apparently reached out to the imaging company behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in an attempt to demonstrate to Summit how a digitally bulked-up Lautner could work. (Summit says it won’t make a decision until a new filmmaker is on board.) There’s also the matter of finding a cast of Native American actors to play Jacob’s werewolf clan — a difficult challenge Hardwicke was also faced with before settling on Lautner, who isn’t completely Native American. And with a slightly increased budget of $50 million — much of which is assumed will go to leads asking for heftier paydays, location shoots in Italy, and ramped-up F/X — Summit will have to scrimp somewhere."

hahha... yeah, we can look Rob's chest.lol
anyway.. better that they make it right although take a bit longer than just a moment but not good.
BREAKING NEWS FROM EW.COM - CHRIS WEITZ WILL DIRECT NEW MOON"Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon, the second installment of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling Twilight series.
Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris’ first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn’t do well stateside but was a hit internationally.
Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed more than $141 million so far, but Hardwicke had clashed with the studio during production. It was announced early this week that she would not be making New Moon. Weitz has a solid relationship with Summit’s top brass; he’s considered easy to work with and has experience with special effects. “He’s the quality-of-life-choice,” says one source. While Summit insists “we have not yet signed Chris Weitz to do New Moon,” and Weitz’s agency says no deal has been signed, other sources say the deal is imminent, and that Summit has stopped negotiations with other potential Moon directors. Summit had planned to announce this hiring decision on Sunday, Dec. 14, and could have Weitz in Vancouver, B.C. as early as Monday to start pre-production on the film."
i heard that taylor lautner wasnt doing new moon b/c he didnt want to do something bout the wearwolves. but i dont really beleive it
I think Twilight could have been better- I actually liked it better the second time i saw it. I'm embracing the change with the directors... in fact I'm very excited. I think that re-casting is wise in Lautner's case (please no hate replies) I am a fan of him, but he is just too young. I think Steven Strait or Michael Copon should try for it. They are very handsome (and very older-in their 20's-the way Jacob is supposed to look) We'll see because we don't want anyone to overshadow our "Edward"... just some thoughts :)
