MTV has an article on Catherine Hardwicke, Twilight movie director, and that she isn’t going to return to direct any more Twilight Saga movies:

“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.”

‘Twilight’ filmmakers and cast members showed up to surprise fans at DVD release parties around the country, and ET was on hand to see the shocked and surprised attendees at one party in the Los Angeles area where Ashley Greene appeared.

Fans at parties around the country not only picked up their own copy of ‘Twilight,’ but they got a chance to meet their favorite on-screen vamps and mortals — in the flesh! Watch our video to see all the excitement and chaos unfold!

‘Twilight,’ available now on DVD, is based on the bestselling book of the same name by Stephenie Meyer and tells the story of mortal Bella Swan and her undying love, vamp Edward Cullen. The sequel to the hit film, ‘New Moon,’ swoops into theaters later this year on November 20, 2009.

The Twilight DVD is #1 on the bestselling lists on the following sites: Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, iTunes, Borders.com, and Overstock.com.

Film.com reviewed the Twilight DVD in which they said that the Twilight DVD is “Astonishingly Perfect.”

This DVD is packed with bonus features, including extended and deleted scenes, and one surprising treat: the long documentary on the special second disc, which goes deep into nearly every step of the Twilight filmmaking process. If you hate the books or the movie, you’re not likely to care for many of the special features, but the “making-of” features are still interesting and engaging to anyone interested in stunt work, visual effects, or the business of putting together an entire production from script to theatrical release. As they explain the movie magic of filming the epic baseball scene or the crashing through the floorboards in the climactic fight scenes, appreciation starts to grow for the intense amount of work that went into making the film look effortless from start to finish.
