Director Catherine Hardwicke on why we’re seeing fewer YA movies like “Twilight” these days:
"I’ve recently had a couple meetings — I think it’s changing because people are starting to realize, the romantasy segment, BookTok, all of that, it’s really very popular right now. There may be an absolute explosion in the next two years. I think I think so many studios and streamers are really trying to develop product in this genre because women are just owning their power and their sexuality. I started reading one where the mother was a general and the sister is a dragon, all the women were bad asses."
