David Slade retracts his comments about Twilight

Recently, several news article and tabloids have published the interview of Eclipse director David Slade bashing Twilight. He is now retracting all the nasty comments he made by emailing Twilight Lexicon.

“Dear Laura and Lori

I would be grateful if you could distribute this statement to the fans of Twilight:I would like to address some statements that I made regarding Twilight.

When I made these comments, I had neither seen the film nor read the books. I was promoting a comedy short film that I had made for Xbox and every pop culture subject was seen as a possible comedy target. I was being silly and none of the statements were from the heart.

Of course, I have since seen the movie and read the books and was quickly consumed with the rich storytelling and the beautifully honest characters that Stephenie Meyer created.

I would like to reassure everyone involved that I am invested in making the best film that I am humanly capable of, and that I am acutely aware of the power of the original books we serve.

Please be rest assured this statement is absolutely from the heart.

yours sincerely

DAVID SLADE”

I never liked that he was directing in the first place. I don't think he understand the kind of fans this franchise has.We'll he might now which is why he is trying to cover his hide about it but I don't think he does a very good job of it.

I agree with the first and second comment. He rubs me the wrong way.
