HP Director Chris Columbus Came Close To Twilight

Posted by Lilysowl On July - 2 - 2009

TwilightMTV’s Hollywood Crush discovered that Chris Columbus who directed Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets glanced at the first adaptation of the script for Twilight, based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer.  Mr. Columbus was quoted to have said that he guessed he did read a script “early on”, but he was in the middle of something else.

Currently, he is working on the film adaptation of The Lightning Thief, the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan.  So, according to the article, Mr. Columbus does not regret passing the opportunity to direct Twilight or leaving the series of Harry Potter films.  But he does acknowledge “a strange feeling” to see the films released with different directors:

“I miss it just because I look at everyone I cast and all these sets I built. Everything is still standing there. It’s weird. It’s like looking at old home movies, though the people in the home movies are aging … The kids are getting older and they’ve become better actors. All the things I hoped for have come true … But it’s a very odd separation anxiety to see my entire cast and crew behind the camera. It’s like, ‘Where am I in this situation?’”
