Catherine Hardwicke found out whether Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would have on-screen chemistry by auditioning the pair in the privacy of her own bedroom.
The director, who recently admitted Pattinson and Stewart are in a real life relationship, didn't want to hire the British actor to play heart-throb vampire Edward Cullen unless he could romantically connect to Stewart in front of the camera.
So Hardwicke auditioned the pair in the bedroom of her Venice, California, home.
The moviemaker reveals the location of the pair's first smooch in an interview with U.S. TV show Access Hollywood, in which she allows the TV crew to film inside her home.
She says, "This is the place where we had the first kiss from Rob and Kristen. We did the audition to see if these two would have chemistry - to see if their kiss would be exciting and cool."
And Hardwicke admits she threw Pattinson and Kristen into the deep end, because they had only just met when she asked them to pucker up.
She adds, "I'm like, 'Ok, I know you guys just met and everything, but... you're really gonna kiss!'" »

We all know how the story ends. Stephenie Meyer teamed up with Summit Entertainment to bring The Twilight Saga to life on the big screen, turning Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner into household names. Before the red carpet events and the immense amounts of press, Meyer was no different than you or me. She was a hardworking mother that cared for her children and when she wasn’t carpooling to swim practice, she was penning her first novel, Twilight (2008). At this point, we all know that Edward and Bella sought out Meyer in a dream, but what we didn’t know was how Meyer landed her book deal. Megan Tingley worked for Little, Brown Group and right before she boarded a flight cross-country to California she was handed Meyer's novel Twilight. Admittedly, not a fan of vampire books, Tingley went on to read the manuscript of an unknown author named Stephenie Meyer. »

With New Moon coming out this Friday--this Friday already!--there's no reason not to expect the deluge of material from the press about the Twilight phenomenon. One such example: this article from Time magazine about how the Twilight saga shot up the pop culture charts and became this big.
Well, it's actually stuff that we already know, more or less: how Stephenie Meyer conceived of the books, how the books became published, how it became such a big thing, how the movies came to fore. The interesting tidbit, however, lies in what Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke said about the franchise's stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. »

Lovestruck Robert Pattinson tried to impress his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart by faking a love of highbrow films.
Director Catherine Hardwicke has confirmed the pair are an item after revealing Stewart decided she wanted give it "a go" and be with the British actor.
Pattinson reportedly asked Stewart to marry him several times a week, and now he admits he had to fight for her attention by pretending to be interested in intellectual films and authors.
He says, "I thought to myself, because she's so serious, I've got to be really serious. I felt like an idiot just following her around saying, 'You really should read some Zola, and there's this amazing Truffaut movie'. She started calling me on things. She would ask, 'Have you actually watched this movie? What's it about?'" »

Everyone knows by now that Catherine Hardwicke is crackers. She's got a mouth like Megan Fox, but we still love her, right? She's always kept it interesting when we've spoken with her, and she certainly didn't disappoint in her recent interview with Time. Cath says nothing went down between Rob and Kristen during Twilight, but confirms they're giving it a shot now. Hmmm, you sure about that time line, babe? Hardwicke dishes: "After I cast him, I told Rob, don't even think about having a romance with [Kristen]...She's under 18. You will be arrested." Interesting.

Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has confirmed the worst-kept secret in showbiz - Robert Pattinson is dating co-star Kristen Stewart.
The actors, who play onscreen lovers in the vampire movie franchise, have repeatedly denied they are more than just friends, but rumours heated up earlier this week (begs09Nov09) when they were pictured holding hands in Paris, France.
Hardwicke, who directed the first film in the franchise, initially warned Pattinson against dating the younger actress when she first cast them to star opposite each other.
But she reveals Stewart later decided she had to "give this a go and really try to be with" Pattinson.
Hardwicke tells Time magazine, "After I cast him, I told Rob, 'Don't even think about having a romance with her. She's under 18. You will be arrested.'... I didn't have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say. 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 realise, Ok, I've got to give this a go and really try to be with this person."
Stewart split from her longterm boyfriend, actor Michael Angarano, earlier this year. »

As if photos of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson holding hands in Paris and snuggling at concerts in Canada weren't enough to convince fans that the two are more than just co-stars, "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke now says that she always kind of knew there was a chemistry between the pair.
In fact, from day one she warned Pattinson about his feelings for the then underage actress. "After I cast him, I told Rob, 'Don't even think about having a romance with her,' " Hardwicke told Time. "She's under 18. You will be arrested."
On the other hand, Hardwicke said she never saw anything romantic go on between the two in real life. "I didn't have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say," Hardwicke explained. "But »

Chris Weitz had a tough act to follow. The talented writer-producer-director had directed such films as American Pie (1999), About a Boy (2002), and The Golden Compass (2007), and now he's the man behind the camera on one of the year's most breathlessly anticipated movies, The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009). Just that title alone clues you into the myriad tasks and quandaries at hand for Weitz: he was stepping into an existing franchise that got off to a blockbuster start last year with Twilight (2008); he was taking over from another director (Catherine Hardwicke) with an entirely different style; he was inheriting a cast -- including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner -- already intimately familiar with their respective roles, and he was directing a movie that was no longer just a sequel to a popular movie, but rather the next installment in a billion-dollar phenomenon. PopStar recently spoke with Weitz by telephone »
