Catherine Hardwicke is the perfect director for this: nothing in the book compares to the moment Bella enters Bio class in the film… Edward — repulsed — winged like an angel (flanked by a stuffed owl), Bella — self-conscious — her hair billows against the fan. The danger of sexuality, the grace of Desire. Beautiful. I was thought Hardwicke could continue in order to work through the ideas she introduces. It was like My So-Called Life with Godfather ambitions. In that tradition, I had hopes Part II would be better. Only one person could have gotten those performances from those actors (while d.p. Elliot Davis got the perfect look). This is a real shame. Oh well, here's praying Kathryn Bigelow or Sturla Gunnarsson or Neil Jordan or Patrice Chereau (!!!omg!1) will be hired to take over "New Moon". But something tells me they're not looking for artists (Chris Weitz?????? ugh). Anyone who directs "New Moon" should do screenings of "The Story of Adele H.", "Godfather Part II" & "III", and "The Company of Wolves" for inspiration and instruction.

I think this film needs a female director with an eye for big budget action. But hollywood seems to lack those.

Whoever wrote the screenplay did a great job of adapting the book. And the things that were changed were for the better. I agree with David G that the problem was the visual effects and, most importantly the acting which was all the director. I have much greater hope for the second movie with a different director behind the wheel.

So…the director rewrote the story for film??I'm confused. Hardwicke was terrible for this. It seemed like this could have become an ok movie. Instead her editing and lack of mutiple takes and ability to tell the actors to do a scene better made it horrible. The story and visual were decent but the acting just made it trash.

Elizabeth is right.

Twilight is, in essence, a very boring book with scenes on loop. Catherine changed all that, and made it into something a lot of other people could like. While the movie was terrible, it was better than the book in so many ways because it had a bit of personality. I'm upset that by giving some soul to the material, she had to pay the price.

Every time I think of a director, I realize that the material is beneath them. Actually, I think that was probably a large part of the problem here too, Hardwicke tried to make it into something she could care about, and that was what made the studio and the fangirls angry.
