Twilight Director’s Cut
Jan 14th, 2009 | By Krystal | Category: Featured Articles, Movie News
The Hollywood Reporter recently interviewed Summit’s CEO and president about Twilight and New Moon, and it seems that Catherine Hardwicke is going to be putting together a director’s cut of Twilight! I don’t know if they will go on sale together or not, but it’s certainly interesting. They also talk about the budget for New Moon and Edward’s role in the sequel.
“THR: What happened with Catherine?
Friedman: Basically, we had a different vision of what the movie should be, and we decided that the best course of action was to part (ways as) friends. She has done a fantastic job with “Twilight” and continues to promote it. She’s still working with us on the movie — the DVD, she’s doing her director’s cut. We just agreed that we had a different vision.
THR: There is talk that because Edward is out of the picture for much of “New Moon,” there will be elements of the second and third books combined into the second movie.
Wachsberger: No, but Edward is present for the movie.”
i have been waiting for this to be confirmed! i knew there had to be a director’s cut, since the movie definitely had some awkward cuts referencing things that they had to get rid of for time.
In other words, Catherine wanted to do it the right way and Summit wanted to rush it. Summit is so frustrating sometimes!
I would love to see more of the Cullens!
: o OOOhh I am ssoo excited about this!! I had thought for a long time that the choppiness of Twilight fell on CH, but I can see now that, that isn’t the case. I bet it would have been better had they let CH do her thing! anywhooo. CAN’T WAIT FOR NM!!!!
^^i completely agree w/ all these comments above! especially emma!..catherines way prob waz the rite way but summit went for the get rich quick scheme instead it seems! = /
STILL SOOOO EXCITED!!! (for the dvd and new moon)
yes! that means that the movie was better the way cathering wanted it! haha why couldn’t summit have gone along with that?! who cares if it goes a bit over 2 hours… *sigh* oh well. this is really good news!
Wow, now watch Edward never leave at all. I would be glad to see more Edward but i still think they should stick tot he story line of the books.
“No, but Edward is present for the movie.” that scares me. They think all of the money is in Edward, which is partly true, but puting him into more of the movie would mess up the book and that would kill them
Summit is crazy if they think we would rather have the movie out sooner. yeah i want to see it-and i want to see it really bad-but they still shouldnt rush it and then have a really cheesy version of new moon. they have to keep it like the book if they want to do as good on this movie as they did on twilight….i would rather it take a while to get out but be a really really good movie…i wish cathrine was still doing it…
The worst think they could do is rush the film, make it too commercial, change the plot (edward), and get a new less involved director.
It seems like a lot of this might actually happen but I seriously hope not!!
I saw no credit given to Stephenie Meyer in this article. Shame on you Summit. Very few would have gone to this movie if it wasn’t for the this amazing book series. Lets give credit where credit is due. The movie wasn’t that great compared to the books. It was too low budget and hokie. The basic story and the casting is what made the movie as good as it was. Please summit stick to the story and spend a little to make a lot. Give Stephenie the credit she deserves and I hope she is given the financial credit because your movie wouldn’t have made $1 mill without the fan devotion to her books. I very much look forward to New Moon and the new direction and larger budget.
idk those snippets are unsettling, and whats a directors cut gain?
Not to be meh, but if they DARE miss out anything good in New Moon and edit it to meh standards, then you shall hear me RAWR!
xox
omg i love twilight i want that book badly!
