Looks as though we might get some more dialogue from Kellan in the sequel New Moon, which is slated to start filming in March of 2009.

“I love everything that’s come out of it,” he said of his role as Emmett Cullen in the “Twilight” series. “It’s really unique to do a project and not have any expectations of it, and then have it do as well as it did. It’s amazing to be a part of it.”

Looking to the future, he said, “We’re doing ‘New Moon’ in March, and currently I’m doing a movie called ‘Warrior,’ which is my movie, which is really nice. It’s a coming-of-age story, and it’s nice to have ‘Twilight’ open doors where I can front-lead a movie.”

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Catherine Hardwicke helmed the massively successful “Twilight,” making stars out of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, along with having the biggest opening weekend ever for a female film director, but she will not return for the vampire sequel, “New Moon.”

Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily first broke the news that Hardwicke would not return and on Sunday the director released a statement toVariety. “I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct ‘New Moon,’” Hardwicke said in a statement released to the entertainment trade mag. “Directing ‘Twilight’ has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel — it is a great story.”

It appears that Summit didn’t give her her offer for the sequel in accordance with her timeline and she opted out. It seems that Hardwicke and the studio had some friction and told Deadline Hollywood Daily that she was “difficult” and “irrational”.
