Harry Potter director (Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets) Chris Columbus once eyed the Twilight script. according to MTV Hollywood crush:
“Looking at the “Twilight” that could have been, MTV News has learned that two-time “Harry Potter” director Chris Columbus took a glance at the script at the beginning of the adaptation process.
“I guess I did read a script early on,” says the director, who most recently helmed “I Love You, Beth Cooper.”“But I was doing something else.”
wow. I would be ecstatic if Chris Columbus did Breaking Dawn. OMFG. Plllllllleeeeeeeease Summit!
I would love it! I’m so glad because he is also doing the Percy Jackson movie!
It would have rocked! I wonder if he’d be interested in BD?
Urgh, please no for Breaking Dawn. Can we please keep a director for more than one movie?!
I’d rather had some continuality in the methods of the films. It’s already clear that Catherine and Weitz’s techniques will be different and it will be again for Eclipse. I don’t want that to happen again. Besides, is it fair on the crew and cast? Shouldn’t they get used to a director too?
ugh! I can’t stand Chris Colombus’s work. He made RENT PG13! Seriously! How do you make a movie about AIDS in the Lower East Side PG13? He’d take all the darkness out of any Twilight movie.
Maybe if you had bothered to listen to the audio commentary you would know the answer to that question. He said he made it PG-13 because AIDS was a deep and serious subject that he wanted teenagers to know about. Making RENT PG-13 made it accessible to widest range of teenagers possible and they didn’t need to go see a movie with a grownup. Plus parents are more willing to let their teens see a PG-13 movie.
He probably saw the crappy version where Bella was a track star, so I don’t blame him for a passing.
Oops. That wasn’t supposed to be posted there.
The sorcerers stone and chamber of secrets were the best of the harry potter movies in my opinion, so i think that Twilight would have been AMAZING if he had directed it.
ooh, they are making the percy jackson novel a movie? that is so cool. I still have to read the last book in the series, but i love them!
It probably would have been better, I must admit…
It’s moot…
i would hate it! he destroid harry potter 1 and 2. pleeeease get somebody else!!!
I think Twilight would have been BRILLIANT if he did do it. The first two HP movies are my fave…especially #2! I would have loved it, I hope he does Eclipse or Breaking Dawn.
it would have sucked
really bad
chris Colombus is a bad director
he absolutly killed hp1 and 2
they were the worst in the bunch
thank god he didn’t get close to twilight
catherine hardwick understood the story and did a great job
think it would have been aweeesssssooomme
it would have been AMAZING. HP1 & 2 were the best directed HP movies FOR sure.
that pic of the dude who play harry potter is ugly
That is very uncool to say that even if it is true or not true.
uncool but i think it is true
I haven’t really thought about that,but it surely would mean a greater film and maybe higher budget?
About BD I really want it to be split in 2 movies,otherwise it will be massacred in even 3 hours long movie.There are just so much stuff going on..
First and second book one film directed by Chris Weitz AGAIN,I’m so sure that he made a GREAT NM.
Third book another film directed by…who knows!
Ooooh… That would have been terrible.
