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.
