The Twilight Saga in Time Magazine

Time Magazine has a great article up on their website that looks at the world of Twilight. The article of course gives the background on how Twilight came to be, the search for the perfect Bella and Edward, and the phenomenon that the Twilight Saga has turned into. But perhaps the most interesting piece of information from the article is Catherine Hardwicke’s comment on Rob and Kristen:

By all accounts, the chemistry between the two leads was intense, maybe too intense. “After I cast him, I told Rob, Don’t even think about having a romance with her,” Hardwicke says. “She’s under 18. You will be arrested.” It was the beginning of the real-life are-they-aren’t-they, did-they-didn’t-they speculation that is now an ongoing subplot of the Twilight story. “I didn’t have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say,” Hardwicke says. “But in terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn’t happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film. I think it took a long time for Kristen to realize, O.K., I’ve got to give this a go and really try to be with this person.”

Catherine Hardwicke moving on

Though Catherine Hardwicke is sad that she is not involved with the New Moon film, she shares that she has a great project coming up with Summit Entertainment called If I Stay. In addition, her Twilight: Director’s Notebook (which is very cute I must say) has just been released as well so she must be a busy lady.

In this E! Online article she also chats about Rob and Kristen and about how they haven’t changed much since all of this Twilight madness began.
