“Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke says she walked away from the payday of a lifetime to direct the sequel “New Moon” because she didn’t want to make the movie under the deadline and budget constraints that would have been placed on her.

That’s one of the key revelations in an interview she did with Entertainment Weekly in which she also discusses the forthcoming “Twilight: Director’s Notebook,” inspired by the on-set journal she kept while shooting the smash-hit vampire romance.

Hardwicke says in the interview posted on ew.com that she was having dinner in Paris with the film’s young stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, when her cell phone rang. She’d been in negotiations with Summit Entertainment, which released “Twilight,” about directing part two in Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series.

Yep, you can now own your very own Edward Cullen and Bella Swan doll!  The Tonner Doll Company – who have previously created Harry Potter figurines – have moulded plastic likenesses of Edward Cullen (Robert) and Bella Swan (Kristen).

There are plans to extend the range to include other characters from the film but for now it is only Robert and Kristen who have been immortalised in plastic.

The dolls will be available at tonnercompanystore.com and selected toy stores in the US.

Lead man Robert recently said he is finding the intensity of fame a little unnerving – we wonder how he’ll feel when he discovers he has his very own action figure!?
