 ‘I’m moving on to other projects,’ says director, who wants nothing but the best for ‘New Moon.’

SANTA MONICA, California — First, the bad news: In an exclusive interview with MTV News this week, director Catherine Hardwicke confirmed that she will never, ever direct another “Twilight” movie.

“I think it’s healthier to have a new person do [each one],” explained Hardwicke, who was recently replaced for the sequel “New Moon” but had some fans holding out hope she might return for the upcoming “Eclipse” or “Breaking Dawn” films. “I’ve loved all the different directors that did the ‘Harry Potter’ [films], because each one had their own cool style and energy, so I think that’s good. And I’m moving on to other projects.”

    Not that I really cared that she isn’t coming back…but she is totally wrong about the Harry Potters being great that it had different directors.  I think it messes with the integrity and contunituity of the movies if there are a ton of different directors.
