Catherine Hardwicke Won't Be Directing New Moon

More Twilight news via Daneen! Catherine Hardwicke (pictured, left) WON'T be directing New Moon, the movie based on the eponymous second book in the Twilight series. Thank GAWD. While I liked the movie (I may or may not have seen it four times - the first week), it was all thanks to my love for the book and for Robert Pattinson (obv.) I loathed the Spice Girl clothes (as my gal Tamar called them), the casting of Rosalie and Jaspar, there was far too much angstiness, and overall flow of the movie lacked something. I think Tim Burton could do AMAZING things with this movie. If I had his number, I'd call him on the phone and ASK him to direct it.
