Texas Monthly Interviews Catherine Hardwicke.
Could you ever have imagined when you first saw the script for Twilight that it would earn $70 million in its first weekend—the highest-grossing opening by a female director in history? Could you have imagined that it was a phenomenon in the making?
At the time there were only two books out in the series—there was this passionate fan base, but it was much smaller than it is now. Stephenie [Meyer, the author of the Twilight series] is such a crazy-fast, prolific writer that she churned out two more books in the last two years. The books got people excited about the movie, the movie got people excited about the books, and it just built and built into this frenzy. So I think it was kind of a magical convergence.

WOW.. if u read the whole interwiew.. WOW. it sounds like Catherine grew up in a war zone, well thats a bit dramatic, but u know what i mean, drug smuggling, electronics smuggling. but shes probably right, it would make a good movie. haha

I think catherine will lways and forever be a HUGE part of the twilight phenomenon because it’s like when a baby first is born seeing its mom and its hooked to the first thing it sees lol lmfao idk that was weird way of putting it but yeah she was the one who started it all for the movies so yeah lol
I so agree with you Catherine. Twilight is magical on so many levels.I can’t sleep at night unless I’m reading one of the books before I close my eyes or watch the movie.I have had dreams that seem all so real and others that I know have to and some are around 55 years of age.My 4 year old just loves Edward and Bella she enjoys the movie as much as me maybe just not in the same way.This is a super story best one that I can remember.
YES! females, represent!
LOVE YOU CATHERINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
