Twilight 2 To Be Directed By… Oh Really? Him?
After Catherine Hardwicke left Twilight 2 for whatever reason, its studio needed to think extremely carefully about her replacement. After all, the Twilight 2 director would need to be adept at dealing with teenagers, understanding the romantic pull of the source text and - most importantly - be able to follow the lead of the first movie by creating an expansive fantasy book adaptation that ends up as a horribly unintelligible mess that nobody could ever genuinely be proud of. And that's why the director of Twilight 2 has been announced as Chris Weitz, the director of The Golden Compass. Clever move, movie studio, clever move.

Twilight 2: Probably Directed By A Crazed Robert Pattinson Fan Now
Twilight is well-known for three things: 1) it's popular, 2) it's rubbish and 3) ooh Robert Pattinson! He's so dreamy! The first one of these is undoubtedly a good thing, and the third one at least distracts from the nagging sensation that Robert Pattinson is basically an even-less charismatic Orlando Bloom with better hair, but the second one? That could well be a problem. So, to try and make Twilight 2 less rubbish, it's been announced that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has been bumped out of the way to let someone else have a bash at the sequel. Which is, um, news. We think.
