News Round-Up: February 14
Catherine Hardwicke has finally spoken out about why she didn't come on board what I fondly call the New Moon Express. The Twilight director tells MTV it's just exactly that -- because everything has to move really fast. "I just didn't think I could make a good movie under those circumstances," she said. She was reportedly in Paris promoting Twilight with Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart when Summit called to offer her a big paycheck to come back and direct New Moon.

MTV also has an interview with 90210 cast member AnnaLynne McCord, who has been in the Twilight Saga radar recently because she is a strong consider for the role of Heidi in New Moon. A very interesting tidbit from the interview: she was supposed to play Rosalie in Twilight, but had commitments with the TV show Nip/Tuck and couldn't come out to Oregon to shoot. [Wow, that's surprising. AnnaLynne is actually closer to my idea of Rosalie in the book than Nikki. Shucks. -CdL]
