'Twilight' Director Catherine Hardwicke Reveals DVD Details!!! YAY!

SANTA MONICA, California — These days, "Twilight" fans are so freaked out that you'd think James the nomad was on to their scent.

Even though their beloved vampire film keeps taking in big bucks at the box office, director Catherine Hardwicke has been yanked off the sequels, and names of potential successors are jumping around faster than Edward Cullen on a deer hunt.

As the future of the franchise hangs in the balance, and the fanbase splinters into various camps, we've set aside some cool news that should hopefully return a smile to the faces of Stephenie Meyer fans. It's part three of what would become Hardwicke's last in-depth interview as the "Twilight" captain. Following on the heels of her discussing record-setting box-office numbers and "New Moon" hopes, we bring you brand-new details about Hardwicke's final "Twilight" effort: the much-anticipated DVD.

"We just did the commentary," Hardwicke grinned when she came to visit our studio right after "Twilight" opened, revealing that she had spent time in an audio booth with stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart that very morning. "We were like, 'Is this the lamest commentary ever?' We were just laughing! I was thinking, 'Should we do something really serious with myself and the stunt guy and special-effects people and show aspiring filmmakers how we did those special effects?' But nope. We did the giggle version. [Rob and Kristen were] remembering the funny stuff that happened and the crazy stuff. They make fun of how they look in the movie."

Asked when the disc will arrive in stores, Hardwicke said, "I think spring. Maybe right after Valentine's Day." She then added even more information to the details she gave us about the DVD last month. "We have 10 deleted or extended scenes. There's some juicy stuff in there," she said, adding that one would correct an omission spotted by many Meyer fans. "I think in one of them, [Edward and Bella] do say, 'I love you.'

"There's a few crazy montages we made of every time someone gets bitten by a vampire that we didn't show in the movie. There's a lot more vampire biting," she said of the more violent material held back to get "Twilight" its PG-13 rating. "One montage is called 'Human Hijinks,' and it's all the human friends [including Mike Welch and Anna Kendrick] doing crazy stuff, more [from the field-trip scene] with the worms and the greenhouse. Just them totally messing around, going crazy. That's kind of fun."

A second montage will focus on the movie's undead moments. "There is the very sexy vampire biting — that is not in the movie," Hardwicke said of the bonus feature. "There's [Rob biting Kristen in the dream sequence], and then there's the nomadic vampires attacking. We have that in there too."

As for other notable moments, Hardwicke said: "There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. We had a great guy, Jeff, who was [filming us] every day. He did some very creative interviews, so you can see us making almost every scene in the movie, which is kind of fun. I actually learned a few things I didn't even know, listening to other people's interviews!

"You can also see the orchestra in London performing 'Bella's Lullaby,' " she said of another bonus feature. "There's a lot of neat stuff."

Then there's the moment that MTV's "Twilight" Tuesday fans will perhaps be most eager to see, as explained hilariously last month by Edi Gathegi. " That 'Does a Baby Eat Candy?' scene was in rehearsal, so I'm trying to get them to put that rehearsal scene in; that was hysterical," Hardwicke laughed. "We literally fell on the ground, because [Edi's attempts at improv] can get pretty perverse. You have to see it!"

As for the other deleted scenes, "There are some scenes that are longer, and some scenes that we don't have in the movie," Hardwicke explained. "There's one scene that's not in the film where Rob and Kristen are walking alone, and he trips her and they fall back into these leaves, and then he takes a bite of her finger. ... It's Kristen's favorite scene."

New Moon, New Details
Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director
who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit's aggressive production schedule turned her off. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight,” says one. “It �*became clear that Summit didn’t have those same priorities."

Indeed, at press time the second movie appeared to have �*little more than a rough first-draft working script. As Summit’s production president Erik Feig told EW during Twilight’s �*record-busting first weekend, “There is that first...script. All the finesse that turns a screenplay into a movie hasn’t �*happened yet.” Two weeks later, Summit is saying it’s happy with screenwriter �*Melissa Rosenberg’s progress.

Another of Hardwicke’s primary concerns was that hunky vampire Edward remains MIA throughout New Moon’s middle portion. In her own opening-weekend interview, she told EW, “You have to get the chemistry as strong �*between Jacob and Bella as it was between Bella and Edward. You also have to do �*some�*thing with that arc: She’s in love with somebody, he disappears, she falls in love with someone else, and the first guy comes back. Movies like Pearl Harbor have tried it. It absolutely didn’t work.”

With or without Hardwicke, Summit �*faces other snags. Two sources tell EW the studio doesn’t want to rehire baby-faced Taylor Lautner as Jacob, though Lautner’s agent has apparently reached out to the �*imaging company behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in an attempt to demonstrate to Summit how a digitally bulked-up Lautner could work. (Summit says it won’t make a decision until a new filmmaker is on board.) There’s also the matter of finding a cast of Native American actors to play Jacob’s werewolf clan — a difficult challenge Hardwicke was also faced with before �*settling on Lautner, who isn’t completely �*Native American. And with a slightly increased budget of $50 million — much of which is �*assumed will go to leads asking for heftier paydays, location shoots in Italy, and ramped-up F/X — Summit will have to scrimp somewhere.

So what director would want to take on such a big headache? Well, at press time, an offer was out to Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), who put Summit on the map years ago when its foreign sales operation made tons of cash off of his first film, American Pie. (One source says Weitz has already had conversations with below-the-line crew for New Moon.) “We are in a recession,” �*reminds one Hollywood insider. “It’s a hit franchise. Whoever steps into it is guaranteed a $100 million gross. Everyone wants this movie.” Adds an exec at another studio, “You’d have to have a very high standard for art, hate the movie business, and hate �*money to walk off this sequel.

as i've said, i'm very much cynical as to why Catherine won't be directing the sequel. Summit's official statement is BS and should be thrown to the trashbag asap. i though they said that they're not rushing but here we are, having a 'tentative release date'. ok, it's earlier than 2010, as what was first said. i should be happy about it, right? but no. it's just another statement contradicting what they said earlier. so yeah, i love Twilight and the cast and all, but i'm now disliking Summit. too bad the Twilight Saga's stuck with them.

on another note, i think getting another actor to play Jacob is completely a practical way. not that i don't like Taylor 'coz as i've said in my review, he's a good Jacob for Twilight, but not for NM or the other books. granted that they can do the same thing like that of Brad's new film but it would take time and it's not the only thing that they're gonna need to do when filming ends and editing started. there's a whole lot of werewolf stuffs that needs cgi-ing. plus, reallly, i don't feel any chemistry between Kristen & Taylor. i look at them and watch every scene they are together and i feel only sibling-kind-of-love. enlighten me if you guys felt it.

whoops! sorry for the double post. FF was wonky.

in case you guys are interested (Karen, i know you are), one of the 2 unknown songs that Rob sung during his Whisky Go Go gig was Let Me Sign.

12/12
The Fan Sites have decided to send a THANK YOU to Summit,
the cast, and crew of Twilight and to Stephenie Meyer by
having "Twilighters Back to the Box Office". All we are
asking is that people go see Twilight on December 12th
in honor of the original release date of the movie. The
idea originated at Twilight Moms, and they have decided
to share! The goal is to get all the fans out to see
Twilight again on the same day and give the movie a bit
of a bump. Let's make sure that they get the message
loud and clear! Pass the word on to anyone and everyone!
Let's rock the Twilight box office... again!

eh diba parang limited na naman ang budget for NM parang $50M lang

je12_04 · 12-11-2008, 10:38 AM

oh yes Gill! the budget's limited again when its income for Twilight alone is more than 5x than the budget. talking about quality, not rushing... wow for Summit's confusing and contradicting statements. btw, this is my fave.

As for the other deleted scenes, "There are some scenes that are longer, and some scenes that we don't have in the movie," Hardwicke explained. "There's one scene that's not in the film where Rob and Kristen are walking alone, and he trips her and they fall back into these leaves, and then he takes a bite of her finger. ... It's Kristen's favorite scene."

so this is what's in the credit! can't wait to see!!

**marae13** · 12-11-2008, 10:42 AM

pasaway sila! sana man lang despite the changes na ginawa o gagawin eh macompensate man lang sa budget kasi magkakaroon na naman ng restrictions nyan

Mrs. Somerhalder · 12-11-2008, 07:56 PM

Je! Welcome back! We missed you here!

Thanks for all the lovely RK pics

Oh and that scene that Catherine talked about in the dvd extras, yun nga yung nasa credits na I was really aching to see! It's Kristen's fave scene... and I have a feeling it'll be one of mine too.

Sana yung blu-ray release ng Twilight even more bonus features.

Oh so kinanta din pala ni Rob yun sa gig niya, that was the song that was played sa montage sa movie as Edward sucked the venom out of Bella. I really love that song, kahit super short lang siya. Btw, do you know where I can find the official correct lyrics of that song? Whenever I search kasi sa net iba-iba yung mga nakalagay. I think nahirapan din ang mga tao intindihin talaga yung words kasi nga Rob slurs a lot.

Gill: Haaaay ayoko na muna magsalita about sa New Moon, they really have to make their minds up. Hoping for the best na lang ulit.

Eh napanood mo na rin ba yung RK vid sa La Boite A Question (France)? Yung may questions tapos may parang buzzer sa tabi ni Rob na pinipindot at pag pinindot yun may sound na "Awwwwww" hahaha, umaapaw ang cuteness nila dun!

**marae13** · 12-11-2008, 09:18 PM

karen- naku! talaga sana maayos ang final plans ng Summit for NM. and they'll take into consideration yung opinions ng mga fans. yun na lang muna.

saan mo nakita yung video na yan? i wanna see. basta RK goodness...post mo ang link dito!

Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon, the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling Twilight series. 'Twilight' sequel: 'New Moon' director will be Chris Weitz | Movie Biz | Hollywood Insider | EW.com

Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris' first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn't do well stateside but was a hit internationally.

Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed more than $141 million so far, but Hardwicke had clashed with the studio during production. It was announced early this week that she would not be making New Moon. Weitz has a solid relationship with Summit's top brass; he's considered easy to work with and has experience with special effects. "He's the quality-of-life-choice," says one source. While Summit insists "we have not yet signed Chris Weitz to do New Moon," and Weitz's agency says no deal has been signed, other sources say the deal is imminent, and that Summit has stopped negotiations with other potential Moon directors. Summit had planned to announce this hiring decision on Sunday, Dec. 14, and could have Weitz in Vancouver, B.C. as early as Monday to start pre-production on the film.

pero ndi pa raw ndi 100% confirmed. in other news me balita rin na ang balak ipalit ke Taylor eh si Michael Copon...lumabas na rin sya sa One Tree Hill and *holdyourbreath* Power Rangers. susme! wag naman sana! if they want to replace Taylor find someone else na lang.....ika nga ng iba sa LJ community- its either Taylor or Steven. and i will agree on that. wag muna sumakit ang mga ulo natin sa mga rumours unless confirmed!

SergeantPepper · 12-12-2008, 12:49 AM

Ugh, I hate the rumored director. Siya yung gumawa ng Golden Compass diba? I hated that film! It was all special effects and none of the chemistry. Baka ganun lang din ang gawin niya sa NM. Kaloka, special effects lang ang priority. Kakainis. At naaawa ako kay Taylor. If they had to replace him - they should've picked Steven na lang kasi kapag yang si Michael whats-his-name ... wag na lang nila gawin ang movie. I hated that guy when he was in OTH!

je12_04 · 12-12-2008, 07:39 AM

Gill, i thought nga that they're gonna have a budget of at least $100M for NM eh since x5 nman halos ung kinita nila. i'm cynical about everything. i just hope that they won't f-it-up NM. its my least favorite but i'm hoping that the film won't make me like it even less. i don't mind if Rob's scenes would be 'according to the book' lang. yun lang, sana eh as dramatic as sa book ung pagbalik nya di ba.

Karen, yo! ung sa credits, most scenes dun eh et.als. i hope those would be in the dvd. ang saya nun! at blu-ray... shet! i need to buy muna a player.

re lyrics... nope! i've seen a few and they vary. i think only Rob knows for sure kung ano ung lyrics. the WGG version's longer but even more slur than the movie ver. lol senglot kasi.

Nia, yep! that's the guy! all we can do is hope that it won't suck.

**teena1013** · 12-12-2008, 07:58 AM

wait!

si michael copon ang rumored na ipapalit kay taylor? i don't think he'll fit as jacob. it'll be

if he did since he's filipino pero i don't see him as jacob. mas ok talaga si steven strait and he's always been stephenie's first choice for the role.

if chris weitz is going to direct NM, then i hope he'll do a better job with it then with what he did sa golden compass.
