I heard that too. It does seem a little unfair that with a bigger budget the new director will probably be praised for a better movie, but a lot of it will really just be improvements in the special effects.

The bottom line is the movie studios are in this for the money, so they are going to make as many movies as possible. Using that logic, I believe they will do New Moon.

What I think they should do for New Moon:
Show us Bella's 18 birthday party and everything with a little subtle foreshadowing of the Volturi.
Do the split with Edward
Explain the whole Werewolf thing and Jacob (Even as much as I loathe Jacob, you have to explain this if anyone will understand his relationship with Bella and Rensmee in the 4th book.)
Extend the whole Alice predicting Bella's death, trip to save Edward bit for the last 45 min of the movie....I know it is a stretch, but how else to make it work?

I think that would be good way to go.
