On Sunday, Summit confirmed that Hardwicke would not direct the film, saying in a statement that its plans to release the film in late 2009 or early 2010 did not mesh with Hardwicke's required prep time.
The picture, whose start petsa has not yet been set, will nontheless reunite writer Melissa Rosenberg and actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart . Summit has not named a new director, but it is likely to want to ilipat relatively quickly on the sequel after the original earned nearly $139 million in three weeks of release.
Hardwicke had initially been considered a bold choice for "Twilight." She made her name with indie breakout "Thirteen" and also directed the period religious tale " The Nativity Story ." The combination proved winning, though, as the midrange-budgeted "Twilight" became one of the fall's biggest hits.
"New Moon" is the segundo installment in Stephenie Meyer 's four-book series and also centers on Bampira in a small town in Washington state, this time with a madami prominent role ibingiay to a teenage werewolf.

Okay, this might be a big-old pointless rant, but i absolutely hate when people BASH on other character (i'm not saying any names) and i'm not just talking about Jacob-hating. If you want to bash on Jacob or any other character for that matter go the Jacob-Hating Spot, and if their isn't one, create one then!!!! I don't mind people sharing well-though out and intelligent opinions, it's just that i'm absolutley sick of all this hating on Jacob and Jacob lovers! I hate completely and utter idiocy comments done on this spot for Twilight mga manliligaw IN GENERAL like "Jacob f*** sucks!" and we've all seen it and heard of it, and i doubt this artikulo will make any difference but i needed to get it out of my system. You don't see me going aroung saying things like "Edward sucks, and Bella will ALWAYS belong to Jacob." because it would seriously piss of ALOT of people. My thoughts. That's all. Don't care if someone comments on this just to somehow piss me off.

The 22-year-old British actor and his blockbuster film, Twilight, are taking center stage in the issue. The movie made over $70 million at the box office opening weekend - a record for director Catherine Hardwicke, who is now the only female director in history to have a film gross that high.
As Kristen Stewart and Robert take a mini-break for the Thanksgiving holiday, Robert is ipinapakita a bit of the rebel in him. He shared, “‘I cannot wait to cut my hair. It’s so annoying! I was at a litrato shoot the other day, and people were saying, ‘They say we can’t touch your hair. You have trademarked hair!’ No, I don’t.”
Be sure to pick up your own copy of EW this weekend!
Kristen, 18, recently sat down with MSNBC and dished about the book series that has everyone talking. “(I) lived with the first book. For like three months or however long that was, and I haven’t been able to ilipat on.”
She says of co-star and on-screen pag-ibig Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen, “He was so different from everybody else that came in (to audition). He’s very responsive, he sees and he listens. And that’s very important, that you’re not pagganap in a scene sa pamamagitan ng yourself.”
