Catherine Hardwicke director of Twilight will not be returning to direct the sequel New Moon.

While Summit has wasted no time moving ahead with the next installment in the Twilight series, New Moon, Catherine Hardwicke will not direct the picture. This is unusual when a director has successfully launched a franchise of this magnitude. The problem that stalled negotiations was that Hardwicke had strong opinions about what to do with the next installment, and so did Summit. The debate was how to focus the adaptation of the second book, which deals more with werewolves than vampires, as well as Bella’s long depression after her vampire lover leaves her. One issue will be how to get more of teen heartthrob Rob Pattinson into the film.

This is good news to me, I saw the first film. Her directorial choices left much to be desired. Her previous film Thirteen on the other hand I thought was great!
