Are they pulling a twilight and handing it off to a dude now that they see that it can make money?

Hi newgoldcatt - She didn't like working with the writer, E.L.James. James tried to take over the production. To be honest, I didn't think Taylor-Johnson did the best job with the direction. James wanted a much sexier movie. Apparently Taylor-Johnson's decision not to return was mutual.
