I do not know any other way to let Chris Weitz or anyone else know about a great idea for “New Moon”. I’m not a fan of Britney Spears, but her song “Unusua You” portrays Edward and Bella perfectly and it should be apart of “New Moon”.

I think he’s capable and I’ve warmed up to the idea of him as the new director. However, this letter to the fans as well as Stephanie’s personal message to the fans makes me wanna puke.
Twilight might have been successful financially, but I think the fan hype had some adverse influence on the movie, i.e. keeping dialogue in the movie that while are fan favorite lines did not translate well into a film and should have been cut/changed. Hardwicke allowed the fangirl in her to allow those lines to remain.
My one hope for New Moon is that Chris will create a movie in the spirit of the book and sacrifices lines/scenes that do not translate to film or at least tries his damndest to make them work.

I forgot he made About a Boy, one of my favorite films from 2002.

Looks like Meyer and the Twilight director didn’t quite see eye to eye and that’s why Weitz was brought in. Looks to me like a good move, but what do I know?

I thought Golden Compass was god awful but I wouldn’t write him off. This will be a much more managable film for him I think.
