Hardwicke makes amends with 'Twilight' studios

'Twilight' director Catherine Hardwicke has patched up her rocky relationship with the movie's studio Summit Entertainment - she has signed on to helm its new fantasy film 'If I Stay'.

The moviemaker stunned fans when she decided not to take charge of the vampire franchise's sequel 'New Moon' - despite scoring the biggest ever debut for a female director with a box office opening of $69.6m (€51.2m) in late November.
