Chris Weitz To Direct ‘New Moon’

Why would you replace one hack with another. Twilight was a pretty bad movie and I am glad she is not direction the second one. But they are both light weight directors. About a boy was fine but Golden Compass sucked big time. Now that the franchise proved it can make money why not spend a little and get a top of the line director!

wow…the golden compass wasn’t that great…so i hope he better have some good planned

if he screws this up, many teens are gonna be hating him for it for a real long time!

This Twilight / New Moon franchise is going to implode with the bad timing announcement of change in directors. That has already given a bad impression overshadowing the sequel…
A director with a new vision, who has a mediocre track record and now with a time crunch to crank this next film out…spells disaster…and now Pattinson and Stewart are in the middle of the drama..
the attention is taken off the movie and the story but now focused on behind the scene production.

Are you people serious? You’re upset Weitz is directing? Weitz is probably crying himself to sleep going from His Dark Materials to this complete and utterly laughable trash. In a just world, not only would there be no Twilight films, there would be no illiterate Mormon soccer mom sadomasochistic, misogynistic sparkling vampire fantasies making it on bestseller lists.

The Golden Compass wasn’t good but a great deal of that had to do with the studio. I pity the man who has to take this material and make this into a watchable movie. At least, unlike with The Golden Compass, there’s no way to go but up.

ppl shut up!.
you don’t know how he’s going to do with New Moon ..
Chill out and give him a chance.

jeez.

Wow, Summit has no sort of pulse for finding directors that will fit with Twilight. This was a no brainer,,,, mira nair or nikki caro would have been perfect.

I hated the Twilight but am still invested in the franchise. I really liked the Golden Compass and was puzzled by its’ lack of success. I think this is a good move, though I am sad to see the production go into the hands of a man. Oh well.

Who cares?

Fact it is a Phenomenon, due to Stephanie Meyer.
Hardwick is an incredibly gifted filmmaker yet missed the emotional intensity of “Twilight”. If you haven’t read the book how could you understand the passion and longing they have for each other. How they feel one could not live without each other and the physical pain each of them feels when apart? I do think there were lots of rushed moments and poorly shot scenes. I can only hope the studio steps up with “New Moon”.
Attention Chris Weltz ! This is defiantly the book to make all the corrections in.
We need to revisit Bella and Edward’s relationship and feel the passion that we missed. The beach scene with Jacob Black the Car rides home from Port Angeles the Meadow also ever time Edward kissed her and she would stop breathing. What happened to Edward Dazzling people that a major part in how he always gets his way. Meyer created her books in a way that would allow each one to be easily transformed into a movie with out having to chop major scenes. The movie “Twilight” unfortunately was a great disappointment. I can only hope the studio hires a new team of writers, directors and hair and makeup crew for ‘New Moon’. They should also consider a soundtrack that actually works with the scenes.

I wish Peter Jackson was directing this movie It would have been awsome. The first one was so bad.

well, i have not seen any of Chris Weitez movies but i hope he’ll do a good job on New Moon bcuz Twilight turn out to be a horrible acting n scripts, yuck. so please make the rest of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series better n incredible. i’ll be so sad if the movie suck. please please please, for the ppl like me.

I’m expecting more from him then Katherine who by the way ruined Twilight for me. I have been a fan of the books for four years… So I didn’t want the movies to be made. Because I knew it would ruin my vision. Pretty sure he cant be any worse.

personaly i think that somebody who directed a flick like American Pie & the Golden Compass doesn’t quallify to direct something like new moon. New Moon is a movie where u have 2 see the emotion & im not sure that Chris Wietz is gonna get it at all. i think that who ever diected The Lord of the Rings or as some people said Harry Potter should take over. anyway gud luck with the film.
