Alexandre Desplat confirmed for New Moon

Apparently, it's already confirmed that Alexandre Desplat will be composing the score for New Moon. I posted about this earlier on, but it's just a statement by Carter Burwell.
This came from Upcoming Film Scores:
New Moon, the upcoming sequel to last year's massive hit Twilight, gets an original score by French composer Alexandre Desplat. The assignment of the Curious Case of Benjamin Button composer has been confirmed to Upcoming Film Scores by Desplat's manager. This means that Carter Burwell, whose 'Bella's Lullaby' became an immediate success with Twilight fans, does not return to the sequel. The reason is that New Moon director Chris Weitz already has an ongoing working relationship with Desplat who scored his fantasy epic The Golden Compass. Desplat's other previous films include The Queen, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and Lust, Caution. The Twilight Saga: New Moon will hit theatres on November 20.
No official statement from Summit yet, but I guess it's official.

The Daily Beast Interviews Catherine Hardwicke

10 years after twilight , director Catherine Hardwicke opens up to The Daily Beast on new details on the film, some we've never known before. Ten years ago, the Twilight film franchise was an unknown quantity. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first Twilight, was surrounded by film executives who all but expected the vampire flick to fail. “Nobody thought this is a big, blockbuster franchise,” Hardwicke tells the Daily Beast. “There were very low expectations for Twilight, because every other studio had turned it down. They said, OK, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a very popular book for girls, and it made $39 million. That’s it. We don’t know if this could ever make us any more than that, so we don’t really want to spend more than that. The expectations were low literally up to opening weekend.” “Why do you think I got the job?” she laughs now. “Why do you think they hired a female director? If they thought it was going to be a big blockbu
