The big question on everyone’s mind is, of course–who will direct New Moon? We noted there were five female directors that might do a good job directing New Moon, but Jeff Otto has put together a list of 10 more that might just make the grad. Of the 10, here are the ones that I think would best bit suited for the job:

Alfonso Cuaron

Resume: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men, Y tu mama tambien

What he would bring to Twilight: Cuaron raised the bar on the Harry Potter series after Chris Columbus’ forgettable first two entries. Like Hardwicke, he departed after one film. There is little doubt that he would make a good flick, but his tendency towards darker themes might feel out of balance with the first film.

  Sofia Coppola

Resume: The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antionette

What she would bring to Twilight: A radically different perspective and a grittier, indie feel. She’s worked with young actors in all of her releases and might make the sequel a little more rock ‘n’ roll. Doesn’t exactly seem like Coppola’s cup of tea, though.

Guillermo del Toro

Resume: Hellboy, Blade II, Pan’s Labyrinth

What he would bring to Twilight: Del Toro has already done vampires of a different sort with the second Blade film. He’s a wizard with special effects and making moderate budgets look gigantic. The problem is, Summit probably couldn’t afford him and del Toro is likely too busy prepping for The Hobbit prequels.

Joss Whedon

Resume: Serenity, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)

What he would bring to Twilight: Whedon is no stranger to vampires or episodic storytelling. He’s from TV, so he works fast and has demonstrated an ability to do more with less on Buffy and Firefly. However, getting involved with another vampire series may simply not be in the director’s best interest for fear of typecasting.

If you’ve seen Children of Men, Lost in Translation, Pan’s Labyrinth, and Serenity, you know that any of these directors would make an incredible choice.
