Suggestions For New Moon Director?

I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of the movie ‘Interview With the Vampire’. I loved the way it was filmed and everything about that movie. Director Neil Jordan did a wonderful job staying true to the book as well. What are some of your suggestions as to who should direct the new movie??

Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) could be another option, though I’m not sure Summit Entertainment care enough to spend the money to get him. It seems they would rather hurry this production along and make the oodles of money off of it than it to be a quality production film.

Which would you prefer?

‘Twilight’s’ Pattinson and Stewart Fuming Over Hardwicke’s Departure

They are pissed off and have no problems letting Summit Entertainment know about it! They had agreed to do the next two movies, assuming it was going to be with Catherine Hardwicke directing them. Kristen Stewart is particularly pissed off telling a close source, “”I sure hope they don’t f*ck it up,” referring to New Moon.

The actors’ reactions suggests more was at issue in Hardwicke’s firing than her temperament and directing style. There is a sense that the Summit, previously a small, struggling studio, is too eager to rush out a Twilight sequel in a move to cash in on the current Twi craze. Sources say Stewart, 18, and Pattinson, 22, believe Hardwicke, 53, was more interested in slowing the process down to properly develop the next installment.

Summit has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon. Any director who signs on to replace Hardwicke has to be ready to go by Dec. 15, reports Entertainment Weekly. The film will be shot in Canada.

Rumors have surfaced that Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, is out.

The character plays a significant role in New Moon (as well as in its sequels, Eclipse and Breaking Down), and the studio reportedly thinks 16-year-old Lautner, who’s 5′6″ tall, may not be able to pull off the physicality required of the hulking Jacob Black character. In the book, Jacob (who becomes a werewolf), morphs from a baby-faced 6′2″ teen to a monstrous 6′5″ man who’s supposed to look 25 years old.

Meanwhile, Pattinson, who has emerged as Twi’s breakout star, will see his character play a more limited role in the second movie, at least as the book is written. But given Rob’s newfound star power, that, too, is likely to change.
