Rumors are swirling that Twilight<\/em> director Catherine Hardwicke may not be back for the sequel film New Moon<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, this is potentially a good thing. The only previous work of Hardwicke\u2019s I\u2019ve seen is The Nativity Story<\/em>, and, well, that film managed to make the miraculous, world-changing birth of Jesus look boring\u2013so I\u2019m certainly open to a change of directors here.<\/p>\n

Who should replace her? Patricia Rozema<\/a>. Rozema has already proved she has the courage to depart creatively from written source material, and that\u2019s a quality that\u2019s going to be needed for any adaptation of New Moon<\/em>. So what if the fangirls riot? They\u2019ll thank her later.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
