Harry Potter Director Checked Out Twilight Script
MTV’s Hollywood Crush has an article about how Chris Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter films, once took a look at the script for Twilight. It makes us wonder what Twilight would have been like if Columbus directed it!
Looking at the “Twilight” that could have been, MTV News has learned that two-time “Harry Potter” director Chris Columbus took a glance at the script at the beginning of the adaptation process.
“I guess I did read a script early on,” says the director, who most recently helmed “I Love You, Beth Cooper.”“But I was doing something else.”
Columbus, who directed both “Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Chamber of Secrets” is no stranger to fantasy book series, planning his next film as an adaptation of the first “Percy Jackson” novel, “The Lightning Thief,” which has already begun casting.
In the meantime, he’s not looking at “Twilight” as a missed opportunity or regretting leaving the “Potter” franchise, though he admits that it’s a strange feeling to see the new films come out with different directors.

Yeah, I agree with you NeonLautner! CH’s great - but the movie would have been better if he had directed.

I loved the first two HP movies, I’m so sad he didn’t do the rest. I love series with the same directors, so it actually feels like a series, you know? Twilight would’ve been WAY different, and WAY longer most likely. Which I would’ve enjoyed!
Although I loved Catherine’s Twilight, she did the book justice keeping the story line the same. So I’m grateful for that, I mean we could have had the track star Bella!

Me and my sister always wondered what Twilight would be like if Warner Bros. directed it. The HP films are proper amazing and I love the books too. But I still like Summit
Warner could have never got the connection between Edward and Bella right

I think Twilight could have been much better if Columbus directed it but I still love Twilight
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:45 PM
it would have been AMAZING i bet but oh well twilight was still a good movie without a great director (not saying C.H. was bad) and tons of cash
and i must agree..Rob looks beautiful in that pic

Hmmm … Interesting. I wonder what that would have been like. He’s a great director. I really loved Harry Potter 1 & 2, as well as the rest.
And I have to comment on Rob’s pic up there. He looks …. A-A-AW-W-WS-OME.
