Variety is reporting that Twilight director, Catherine Hardwicke, will not be returning to direct the film's sequel, New Moon. The stated reason given is "scheduling conflicts".
Yeah right. Let's face it, the film has appealed to it's audience and made money. BUT the critical reviews of the film are spotty at best, and a lot of that criticism has fallen upon her. I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to hightail it now while the gettin' was good. Also, let's not forget that a large part of the success of Twilight was centered around Robert Patterson or whatever his name is, and his character is scarcely in the follow up film. Will it be the financial success that the first film turned out to be? Probably not, especially since the casual viewers who saw Twilight for the most part did not take a liking to it.
