The reason for Catherine Hardwicke's replacement in New Moon

According to the article in LA Times, Rob Friedman, CEO fro Summit Entertainment, insists that the "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon," was not being rushed into production like the previews reports stated. Seems like, Hardwicke’s departure was more than just a “Time” issue as she previously stated in her interview with Variety Magazine. Here are some excerpts from the article:

“Rob Friedman insists that the "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon," was not being rushed into production. "We love the draft she turned in," he says. "Melissa has worked very hard on the material and was an integral part of what made the original film such a success. This is not a rush job. The movie only gets released when its finished. I'd like it to be next year, but we're not going to put out a bad movie to hit a release date."
On the other hand, Summit can't dawdle. Unlike with "Harry Potter," whose characters aged with each book, the characters in the "Twilight" series remain young forever, so if the studio is going to rely on its newly minted stars, Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson, to carry the entire series, it has to move full speed ahead. Summit has options on its lead actors, but since they are now in demand for other films, if Summit doesn't press ahead quickly, it could lose them for months on end to other productions. “ Read more
