Production designer-turned-director Catherine Hardwicke, who hit the big time following the worldwide success of the first Twilight movie, may be reteaming with her Thirteen star Evan Rachel Wood in the erotic thriller Plush, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Set in the L.A. music world, Plush was written by Hardwicke and Artie Nelson.

Thirteen created quite a buzz when it came out in 2003, but Hardwicke's first — and to date only — major commercial hit has been Twilight, which turned Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson into movie stars.

It’s in Sweden and Germany, and it’s really wild. I can’t quite talk about it, but we’ll probably...
