New Moon Cast Lauds Director Chris Weitz

in Chris Weitz

200906081405.jpg The cast of New Moon can’t say enough good things about the new director, Chris Weitz. For example, Michael Welch, who plays Mike Newton says–

“When we all got on set the first day [Chris] gave us this packet of 30 to 40 pages of what he wanted the film to look and feel like, how he was going to shoot it, all of that stuff. The thing is, both Chris and Catherine—I don’t want to say one is better than the other. They are polar opposites in terms of style. Catherine can only succeed in chaos, really. But Chris is the exact opposite, he’s so calm and has all his stuff together. He really made this film great.”

  • OMFG!!!

    IN every god damn interview they are all like, "they were both great, they just have different...styles"

    You can SOOO tell they are dieing to say,

    "Chris is SOOOO much better than Catherine! For a start he doesnt attepmt to come up with stupid 'funky, cool' ideas on the spot and add them in even though they make NO sense at all and were never actually in the god damn book!"

    If one of them said that I think i would give them a standing ovation!
  • CF911 They're Bullets Mofo's
    Amen sister.
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    One must remember in Hollywood - it's a game of politics. If you bad mouth a former director (or any other colleague for that matter) you run the risk of being black balled. It is career suicide to slam anyone - they never know when their paths will cross again - so they are all kissing a$$.
  • I guess but i dont really think Cathrine Hardwick is a force to be wreckoned with in hollywood...

    I guess the best im ever gonna get is "well chris is a lot more controlled..."
  • ancha85
    Yeah, like all that stuff about Waylon and "butt crack Santa". I also thought "Hold on Spider Monkey" was stupid at first, though it has grown on me with time, because it is so much a part of "Twilight" now.
  • "Butt crack santa" i was like WTF? lol

    and im very contravercial about spider monkey, i really like it lol
    and theres loads of other stuff like the dream sequence kissing bit - all i can say is thank god that didnt fit and they couldnt put it in the movie, her dreams about edward arent sexual...yet!
  • i agree lol :D
  • Vampgirl(Team Robsten forever)
    I think we should start the campaign to have CW direct BD, NOW, not tomorrow, not next month. NOW coarse we need to see if he is availabe. But I'm on the CW bandwagon. I'm not worried about David Slade, this guy is the right guy from Eclipse.
  • Vampgirl, count me in on that band wagon, Chris is one of the best things that could have happened to this series, he should direct BD, at least then there might be some hope it gets the detail it needs!
    CW has so much more taste when it comes to special effects, thank god he thought to get rid of the sparklying sound, i mean since when did edward jingle when he sparkels? LOL
  • Livvy_Kate
    i couldn't agree more. Catherine was a bit vague in what she wanted and that comes across in the movie. Chris is so focused and i think this movie will be much better than Twilight, even though I prefered the Twilight book to New Moon.
  • I no what you mean, its nice to know that theres a damn good script and its being kept to, and i hope the movies much better, i'm hoping the movies with get progressively better so heres hoping BD is an Epic! lol
  • Vampgirl(Team Robsten forever)
    Okay here is the deal, those who are going to Comic Con, Question ask nicely if Summit would kindly bring back CW, that we fans want him back, now getting a letter to Stephenie, the darlyn Summit exective, be nice., trust me butt kissing works wonders. Let's Roll people.

    CHRIS WEIZ FOR BREAKING DAWN DIRECTOR.
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Ha!

    I love how everyone keeps saying that Catherine's style is "chaotic"...gee, maybe if she laid off the mind-altering hippie drugs, she wouldn't have to worry about that. And she might make a little bit sense. That is just their way of saying "She sucks"... LOL

    **sits and waits for people to get mad because I said she does drugs**
    ...people are always so serious...
  • I laud Chris Weitz as well. I mean after seeing the trailer even though some might've not like it, it was well done for just a teaser tailer. I'm highly sure that the real deal will be great!!! got to say good job for chris he did a better work than Catherine and NM does seem better than the Twilight! But I still love Twilight :) GO CHRIS!
  • edi said the same thing. she's more vivacious while chris is more mellow but chris is amazing.
  • Jennifer
    That was what I kept thinking when I read all the comments about her. All the cast keeps saying she's "different" and "works" best in chaos". I just figured it was their polite way of saying she sucked and new director is MUCH better! :)
  • IndiesR
    LMAO!
  • MissNay
    BWAHAHAHAHAH!!
    I doubt any of us have ever seen her not ripped out of her gourd, but I loved Twilight, even if it was a bit cheesy in spots.
  • IndiesR
    hahaaha. I didnt like it at first, and I curse Catherine every chance I got, but now that i own several copies of the dvd, I'm acquired a "liking" to it, it makes me laugh....but I still cant hate Catherine too much, it is what it is. :)
  • MissNay
    I dig it. I mean she had a tiny bidget, no concept of my glorious washington state weather, and is incredily hair brained, but I loved the cinematography and the music, and well......... I really loved Twilight. I was upset about weitz due to the fact that the golden compass was such a friggin flop. I dunno. I like Catherine, she's unique and wild and reminds me of........... nothing comes to mind. But I think she's perfectly her, and I like that about her.
  • CF911 They're Bullets Mofo's
    She does seem like a nice person and I do love the soundtrack. She did awesome on that. But as a director, goodness, she stunk. I felt like I was going to throw up during the big reveal scene in the woods.
  • MissNay
    I know that part was, how do you say? Oh! Not well done. But I still dig it. Cuz it's twilight. I thought their never ending space-offy stares at each other were kinda awkward.
    I hadn't read the book before i saw the flick, and I thought when Bella got to school and saw Edward, the faces they made looking at each other were so dang funny. It made sense after I read it, but before that we were laughing so hard. Especially when she wandered into Biology and dude was acting like he was gonna puke. The fart spoofs on that scene are my favorites. I just rambled on for a long time and realized I never reached a specific point. SOrry. :) Uh, Ill go now
  • Ariah
    Oh man, me too.

    "You're like my own personal brand of heroin!!!!" or whatever the F he says. See, in the book, that was joking statement meant to lighten the mood. In the movie it was like, "EMOEMOEMO!" and that just didn't work. Yeah Catherine, have them be all super serious with THAT dialogue. That won't be unintentionally hilarious AT ALL.
  • marie_C - Team switz
    right there w/ you, the more i see it, the more i like it, but i guess is b/c of the books, no matter how bad we think it was, is the movie of our beloved books and it has some good scenes( baseball scene and fight scene), but i can't forgive ch
  • FreakinCrazy
    Who knows, maybe she does?

    She seems like a cool/fun person to hang out with

    Edit: Oops, I made it sound like drugs make you cool lol =X
  • Kay
    Well I have to agree with you..
    she's acts....umm....weird
  • ♥LoveThemCullenBoys♥sPFach♥
    ROTFLMAO! That was a Totally RAD and Narly comment Effing... IT WAS SO GREAT.. (doing a rain dance with

    all the extras of Twilight cuz Catherine told them to do so for Clouds) LMAO!!!!
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    She is definately a wack-job...

    **shaking head**

    ...crazy...


    lol
  • CF911 They're Bullets Mofo's
    I love how the cast is stepping around trying to not say that Catherine sucked. She is "chaotic" and her and Chris are polar opposites. Dude, just say she stunk. She did not have her sh&t together and made a blendered mess out of the movie.

    It has been obvious from the get go how much Chris has invested in this film and I love and respect him for it. I did not think Rob could get any hotter, but Chris made him hotter.

    *Jumping up and down like an elementary age school girl.**
  • CF911 They're Bullets Mofo's
    And the armadillo. What the eff was up with the armadillo? Who cares if you are from Texas? What the eff does that have to do with Twilight? You friggin moron!!!
  • marie_C - Team switz
    lmao, i now why rob looks hotter( besides that i like him with his hair that short) it was the makeup, he looked like he red lipstick in twilight, and too white, it was not even vampire white(i don't know how to describe it) but he now shines
  • Ariah
    You mean, jumping up and down like a 40-something Catherine Hardwicke? :P
  • ancha85
    She really is quite strange. She has a very different view of things.

    Very "artsy" type person. (Which we know that many "artsy" people love to "explore" their creativity in "creative" ways.

    Some of the things she did were very weird. Like worrying about the budget, yet wasting money filming scenes that she knew weren't gonna' make it into the movie, just for her own personal pleasure. (i.e. the deleted scene where Bella gives Edward "a taste". That was SOOO out of character for Edward that their was no way for it to make it in the movie.)

    I will give her this though...
    She did an AWESOME job choosing the actors for out beloved characters!!!
    The Saga would just not be the same without them. So for that reason, I am glad she did "Twilight".

    However, I am thrilled that Summit replaced her with Chris Weitz! He is doing a SUPER job. I do agree that the wolves need to be a little more menacing (though cuddly at times too, as Bella does cuddle with Jake/wolf).

    I pray that Summit is smart enough to use him again for Breaking Dawn. He will do a great job with Reneesme, I believe.
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Yea, that deleted scene was just strange...I was so glad that didn't make into the movie...I think it would have been awkward. LOL
  • Jaypat
    I hate to hate her because she did pick the cast, but that really ticked me she did that scene for her own pleasure! We needed more in the meadow and no stupid "monkey" lines!
    I think Chris will do great. Hopefully the wolves will get alittle more scarier. My 3 yr old likes watching Jake turn into a dog (not that scary)
    Oh Renesmee! I just can't imagine who or how they'll do it, but with the money they make from the other 3 it should and has to be AWESOME!
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    That was the only part of the trailer that I was slightly disappointed with...the wolf. I just was expecting something.... scarier? I mean, they are supposed to be in her nightmares for a long time, I just wanted to walk up and give that dog a bone and tell him to be nice. LOL
  • Jaypat
    LMFAO! I just want to pet him.
  • robin
    remember.... this is June. They still have over 5 months to perfect the special effects and CG. What I am amazed with is the fact the teaser trailer came out so soon. The teaser trailer for Twilight came out LONG after filming ended. This is very encouraging to me, in that this small taste of the movie looks far superior very early in post production( post? they were not even done filming when this little gem was put togethor!) I am sure much more time will be spent on perfecting the "dogs" and they will be the wolves we expect them to be.
  • marie_C - Team switz
    don't reminded me meadow that is how i don't like her(hate is a strong word), that was my fav in the book, the one i was the most expecting, but she ruined it, i was like "was this the meadow scene, just this" then i was hopeful almost until the end of the movie that it was not "the meadow scene" and that it was coming. so sad
  • Jaypat
    I thought THAT was the meadow scene? WTF? Did she not read the book or talk to SM?
    Let's hope Chris LISTENS to the fans and SM, and he will do a great job.
  • marie_C - Team switz
    yeah that is why i said don't get me started, reasons why i don't like her:
    1. the meadow scene.
    2. the makeup and wardrobe( bella look homeless and the cullens normal not rich)
    3. edward's car (it was girly)
    5. and maybe the most important, i thought everything was rush, like i said "where he came from w/those lines"
    6. the dialogue (if mr doesn't do a good job as a screenwriter why don't you do something about it, wait don't, ex"spider monkey")
    7.i don't feel the relationships like bella/ edward love, bella/alice sisterhood, mike/edward jealousy, etc.
    8. movie looks low budget( i know it is but come on we don't have to realize that)

    well to made it shorter what she did right:
    1. the casting
    2. the fight and baseball scenes
    3. made the movie( but i am not sure to give that to her, b/c she was the want to gain from that, yeah she took a movie that nobody wanted to do and now we have the sequels but we have to understand that she was jobless and she made lot of money from it)
  • peace,<3 ,fire,ice &compromise
    i totally agree with you. so what they had a small budget, slumdog had a small budget and it came out good. Yeah edward didnt look like he was rich, they are supposed to look liek they are wearing the latest fashion from PARIS. Even bellas prom dress wasnt NICE! and Alice was supposed to help her. And in the Book he offer to take her to the meadow because he discovered it when he wanted to be alone and he wanted to share that with her when he drove her to SEATTLE! And in the movie they made it seem like CHARLIE hated EDWARD when in fact in the first book he really liked him and he was always vouching for the CULLENS. and the cars were all wrong. hmmm what else... and when he took her out to dinner, she didnt have her jacket on and thats why the next morning he picked her up because he knew she would be cold since she left her jacket in Jessica's car. instead of the scene in themovie where hes just standing outside her house. it would have been so much more romantic if they did it in the book. i dont understand the book is so perfect... to make theperfect movie, you just have to copy that into the screen, there is no need to change any of the dialogue! UGH! but i still like it after watching it several times because ROB and Kristen ROCK and the rest of the cast!


    I LOVE TWILIGHT.!
  • Ariah
    I would be so happy if NM featured a flashback to part of the meadow scene - only not part of the scene from Twilight, but a scene shot fresh for NM that's more true to the book. Not saying they should redo the part from Twilight, but maybe they could shoot a little quality clip as a, say, companion to the crap CH made. That would make me smile. :)
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Yes, I guess we shouldn't forget, she did cast correctly. :)

    Hated the deleted scenes, what a rip off!!
    I hope NM has better ones, and it'd be very cool to have a blooper reel, and lots more behind the scenes stuff....

    Are you reading this, Chris? :D
  • This is my first time commenting on this site, but the deleted scences in the Twilight dvd were not good.

    The first thing that I look for and watch when i first purchase a dvd is the Blooper Reel, so when i saw that Twilight didnt have one, i was extremely disappointed. I hope that the New Moon has a lot more extras and bonus material cuz Twilight did not.
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    AMEN Lexis!
    A blooper reel would have been AWESOME.

    Maybe with the "bigger budget" they'll be able to afford one this time. ;)
  • marie_C - Team switz
    umh they have plenty of money by the time that the dvd came from, didn't you see the graphic? and all the movie in box office, so i don't think that was it
  • Ariah
    Seriously. Most of them were just manifestations of CH's fangirlness. She wasted time making a scene in which Bella allows Edward to taste her blood, when she must have known it would render the the venom-sucking scene totally undramatic.

    I guess she just wanted something else to swoon and giggle over.

    Does it bother anyone else that she seems incapable of sitting still?
  • Patience Isn't My Specialty
    "That was so cool! And dude! I don't even know why we did it that way, it was just awesome! Hey man pass the joint!"

    Argh! Catherine! I'm glad we won't have to deal with her again!
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Tell me about it, I don't think I have ever been so happy than the day I heard she wasn't directing NM!

    And people were upset about that....WHY???

    I was thankful! She already ruined one book to film adaptation, why let her get her claws on another??
  • Patience Isn't My Specialty
    Thank God! NM is my fav of all 4! So I'm happy she won't be touching it!!!!!
  • marie_C - Team switz
    i have some theories:
    1.b/c even if we don't like her, there are a lot of people that don't know what a good movie is.
    2. they were glad for the cast she picked.
    3. they were blind, like they try to think and put in their minds that it was good, that it was the movie from their beloved book, the movie the were really hyped about and were waiting for( like me, at first but i knew something was not right, now i could see clear)
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    LMAO

    Maybe she didn't do enough drugs??? There's an alternative theory.....lol

    If they had chilled her hell out with massive doses of horse tranquilisers.....she might have calmed her ass down enough to make some kind of sense.....

    Why didn’t anyone think to spike her coffee :)

    On second thoughts if it had knocked her out....the cast could have just done the film themselves....while she slept it off...

    LMAO
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Nicky!!

    If they would have just made the movie themselves, it probably would have been better!! LOL
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    Effing!!! :) *hugs*

    It would have been 100 times better :) Seems like all the good oarts of the film are where that crazy chick got overruled :)
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Ha! I know...remember when in the hospital scene, Kristen said they wanted to film her and Pattinson back to back talking?? And kristen had to say "Um, no...they need to be facing each other". Catherine is a moron...why would they need to be back to back...that would have been strange. And not to mention, if they would have been that way, she probably would have spun the camera around the hospital the way she does in the "meadow" - Geeze, I never had motion sickness before that moment. LOL
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    WTF???? I never heard that one......

    That chick is insane.......

    I work with patients in a hospital....and i never go up to them with really important news and turn my ass around and sit back to back!!!

    Someone dropped a hammer on her as a baby....it's the only possible explanation LOL
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    I am pretty sure they dropped the whole tool box on her. LOL
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    What i would give to beat her with a tool box NOW!!!!!!

    *heart swells with happiness at the dream*

    LOL
  • Ariah
    The closeups in that scene really irritated me. I wanted to see them reacting to each other's lines!
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    But enough about Catherine - Chris is going to be our Saga Savior! He won't let us down in spite of Melissa's crappy script writing.

    Need I remind you all that "Edwards' shirt open in the front" - became Shirtless Edward for all of us to gaze upon his glory?

    I nominate Chris Weitz for Breaking Dawn.
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    I agree...I think he is going to be wonderful for NM!!

    I would love him to do BD. I am very impressed with him and we have only seen the trailer!
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    Chris is my new hero!!!! :)

    Every day now i have to add things to the shrine i've built for him :) LOL

    If breaking dawn sucks.....i'm gonna need a JCB to take it down :)
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    My Chris shrine double in size after the premier of the trailer!
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    The trailer *swoon*

    *watches the trailer for the 104,257 time and goes back to add more freshly picked flowers to chris shrine*
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    Chris is just amazing :)

    Even if the film was rubbish we'd owe him forever for completely shirtless Edward :)

    But the films gonna be great :) And he BETTER do breaking dawn.....i'll go to his house and drag him to the damn set if i have to LOL
  • Kim1524 (Fanfic Junkie)
    I second that nomination!!!

    We need to get on the phone to meyer to make this happen, after all they're her books, also while we're speaking to her we perhaps we can mention a little something called midnight sun, wonder if she's heard of it?

    *mumbles things like she better damn well finish it* LOL
  • pamloves
    i hope she will say something to summit about cw directing. and i hope she will finish midnight sun i don't like reading unfinished books and i have read some of it just can't finished it because it not finished.
  • marie_C - Team switz
    you are like " ok we bashed ch a lot, now let's move on to mr", i agree, no i love you's? what does she have a bad experience with that words. i won't say anything else, thanks God now we have chris to make her re-write the script as many times possible, so we would have a good movie, i just hope eclipse director(whose name i forgot) made her do the same, b/c knowing her i now her draft for eclipse is crappy. God summit fired her already, don't you have money to hired a best screenwriter? we fans can do it, even for free and we would do a good job
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    LMFAO!

  • JTS-Team Swiss Sexy Beast
    CW IS MY HERO! wooooooooo!
  • We have GOT to get Chris to direct Breaking Dawn!!!!

    **** Breaks out the picket signs to BRING WIETZ BACK FOR BD!! ****
  • JTS-Team Swiss Sexy Beast
    i know! can you imagine that? all these good things about CW BEFORE the movie even is released...can you imagine what it will be like come Nov. 20?

    i'm so hyped over this movie, that i'm sure whatever will be shown will be so much better than twilight...
    i'd def. want him back for BD!
  • I KNOW!!! I always had a gut feeling that he was going to do well.
    New Moon is going to be 100 times better than Twilight ( sorry Catherine ) & I CANNOT wait to see how much more $$$ it makes.
    I think He just gets it....he really understands what Edward and Bella are all about and he knows what we, the fans want......and that's for them to stick as closely to the book as possible.
    I hope & pray that Summit asks him to return for BD. That would be AMAZING!!!

    UGH! Is it November yet???!!!
  • Kay
    NM is going to be 1000000 times much much better than twilight.
    I saw the movie before I read the book, and when I read it I was very very dissapointed with the movie :(
    Now with CW I can see the book in the movie..

    NM is going to be a phenomenon, lets see how many box office records it breaks :)
  • pamloves
    i did the same thing saw the movie then read the books. i think it will way better.
  • Kay
    Yes we must!!!
    He's doing an excellent job with NM, and I think he would do just as excellent with BD. and the cast love him.
    Don't bring back Catherine please!! i hope those rumors are FALSE. :)
  • True or false, I think when Summitt sees how huge New Moon is and how much more $$$ it makes, I don't think Catherine would even be a thought.
  • JTS-Team Swiss Sexy Beast
    there's a rumor about CH being brought back for BD?????!!!!!!!!!

    I HOPE THAT TRULY STAYS AS A RUMOR!
  • ancha85
    Totally, Totally, TOTALLY agree with you!!

    Summit makes us all happy and bring him back!!!!
  • Ariah
    I'll wait until I see NM before I get on this bandwagon, but, judging from what I've seen and heard so far, it seems like he'd provide the necessary counter to the super fanficky elements of BD. I hope whoever directs it is able to depict Renesmee as something other than a Mary Sue with fangs!
  • razzthekidd
    KUDOS TO CHRIS! If they decide to film Breaking Dawn I hope he can direct.
  • static22 - Chris Weitz for BD!
    Chris Weitz and Stephenie Meyer are my personal heroes!:)
    I think the only reason why he can't direct Eclipse is because he'll be post-producting NM.It's too bad we won't have him direct Eclipse,but for BD,let's just say there's NO WAY CW WON'T DIRECT BREAKING DAWN!!!
    Can anyone start a petition or sth to get him for it?
  • JTS-Team Swiss Sexy Beast
    yes and I AM FIRST!!! mwwahahahah
  • TeamJBTL
    lmao

    Chris is completely amazing! I don't care, He's way better than Cathrine! :)
  • Exactly! I mean, wouldn't you rather have a calm and collected person, rather than the chaos that is Catherine?
    And it's obvious that they all prefer Chris anyway..
  • TeamJBTL
    EXACTLY!!
    lmao

    us taylor lovers' think the same. and we are quite smart at that! ;)

    Did you see The Golden Compass? I mean all the graphics were amazing. No Doubt every CG thing will be amazing too. I can't wait to see what a great job Chris has done with the BEST SET OF BOOKS in the world. :)

    He is better lol.... Just by the trailer you can tell
  • mandyho13
    I can't wait to see what Chris Weitz has done with the film!
  • MissNay
    Yay Weitz! If this movie isnt the best ever youll lose all your hair!!
  • IndiesR
    Well, the cast is happy, and Stephanie also have expressed how excited and happy she was with NM, so I cant wait to see if all the praises CW is getting is well deserved.
  • CullenChick
    I think Chris will do a great job.
    Things come out much better when the job is done calmy and planned, which is something I think Catherine didnt do.

    The cast is loving Chris and I am too ! :)
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Effing or she did to many when she was younger LOL


    I think she tried but she didnt stay close enough to the book. I do give her credit for the kissing scene though, she made them redo it to perfection.


    I am glad CW took NM so seriously, and it seems the cast has alot of respect for him to.
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Oh and I think CW was scared of us Twlighters, he didnt want our pitch forks out ! LOL
  • He has a reason to be! Us Twilighters can be brutal when we need to!
    *thinks of that terrible time with Michael Copon*
  • Kay
    " And no, the hotness that is Taylor Lautner isn't the only reason we think it'll rock "

    Well i think its going to be one of the things that will make the movie rock!!
    Its going to be one sexy movie
    Shirtless Rob and Taylor hmm
    Can't get enough of that.
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Yes, there will be lots of shirtlessness going on, how can you NOT like that!? LOL!
  • bina209
    I love that the cast loves chris i believe he is going to do a fantasic job with New Moon!!! I like him way better then CH ugh she is super duper weird...and i normally dont mind weird but she is also annoying.
  • MissNay
    I really do hope though that the wolves stick closer to the book. They need to be bigger and scarier and less like... the one in the trailer.
    *sheilds herself from getting rocks thrown at her*
    NOT to say the trailer didn't rock my socks, Im just saying I was bummed the wolf was so.......well, let's just say my daughter calls it her puppy. She's 2. She loves the trailer cuz of the puppy. The wolves are supposed to be mind numbing scary in Bella's eyes. I thought it was cute, but not giant and terrifying.
    I just hope that gets improved. Other than that rock on CW. And also I like your hair, good sir.
    *deflects a rock aimed at her face*
  • ancha85
    I think that the wolves do need to be more menacing, but just a little bit more.
    Remember that Bella does cuddle with Jake/wolf in the baseball field, so they can't be totally scary, just menacing when they need to be.
  • NeGin*
    woOOoW dang ...........So Much neW PostS ...thanks......
  • CullenWannabe
    This gives me hope that NM is going to be better than Twilight. The trailer was AWESOME and it was just what 90 seconds? I liked Twilight, but I think it could have been better & I'm looking forward to see what Chris does with the saddest, most heart breaking, depressing book in the series. Bring on November!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Catherine can only succeed in Chaos.....

    Couldn't have said it better myself.
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    I agree LuckyMaddams 100% but you said it better than me :-)
  • Gemini
    It seems to me that everyone involved in the film has had nothing but praise for CW which makes me super excited about the film........if the trailer is anything to go by we are in for a really good movie, roll on Nov
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    God i love watching the cast trying to find words for Catherines directing that are not gonna be offensive....so far i've heard....um

    She is really enthusiastic = she's trying to be a director but she doesn't know WTF she's doing

    She need a cluttered desk to work = She's a messy b**ch and she can never find anything she needs

    She's full of energy = She's like a 5 years old on a sugar high, and Just a f***ing annoying :)

    LOVE work place politics :) LMAO
  • Ahahah ~ love it, Nicky! :)
    We can all tell they prefer Chris anyway, could it be anymore obvious?
    Have you read the director's notebook? Because that's proof of all these 'chaos' opinions..
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    The fact that crazy hippy even though she had time to dabble in a notebook while making a film that was shot in a few weeks........

    .....is proof that she's NUTS :)
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    It doesn't really matter what they say, it's all code for "god she sucked, we are so glad to have Chris now!"
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    We do !!!!!!

    Thank god for Chris :)

    *gets down on knees to worship at his shrine*
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    *gets down next to Nic and worships as well*

    *whispers*
    (hey, think we could get to NY in time to see Rob walking around the streets?(
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    Um....no....... :*(

    We will just have to stalk and drool via the world wide web....

    Damn it!!!

    Where the hell is honey-bee??? she lives in NY...i hope she has her camera ready!!!! :)
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Hoooooooo-neeeeeeeey!

  • honey bee
    LOL :D

    I'll accept!! Just for you and Nicky. ;)

    *puts on blonde wig and raybans*

    xD

    Seriously, I'm waiting to hear some word regarding a set location. Just to walk by..or something...ya know. lol Hurry up and start shooting, Robbie!!!
  • honey bee
    LMAO!!

    The thought has crossed my mind, but I haven't a clue where he is. LOL Honestly. :/ The new photos aren't helping. They look like every block in the city! Even that statue of a big dude wearing a chef's hat is usually in front of every pizzeria. I figure I should start checking out every McDonald's in the city! The boy has to have a craving for cheeseburgers sooner or later!

    Wait. Won't that make me a stalker though? Have you seen NYRob's face lately? *chews nails* He has the "Don't f*ck with me, I'm from NYC look." What if he beats up honey_bee? :*(

    *throws on blonde wig, trench coat, raybans*
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    Girl....i would be staking out starbucks!!!

    Does he have a 'don't f**k with me face' ;) Great...

    That's just an even bigger turn on :) LOL
  • honey bee
    'Don't f w/me face' just proves that BadAssEdward is really BadAssRob. ;)

    *bites fist*

    Holy Smokes!!!! Have you been on Robsessed lately? Check out the newest post. Someone likes...the east village!!!!!! So close...soclose.

    THUD.
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    Gotta make a confession....

    I don't go on any other twilight sites :) At all :)

    I'm totally monogamous that way :) I like the funny people here :) I always figure if it's important the site will have it....

    And if it's too dirty for the site Honey-bee will facebook me the info :)LMAO

    Send me a link LOL
  • honey bee
    Here you go- It's rated pg...this time. LOL

    http://www.robsessedpattinson.com/2009/06/words...

    Regarding the conversation a fan supposedly "overheard", I think her mind was running wild. :x
  • Nicnixs - Never Squeeeee!!!
    I demand you spend every spare second in bars Bee :) lol

    Hmmm....my Bulls**t detector went wild at this one.........maybe he said i need to say away from whiskey made before 1988 or something LOL
  • honey bee
    LMAO @ the whiskey.

    I just think it's funny since KS was born in '90 (holy crow, I feel old). She "heard" this little juicy bit, but not the rest of the convo? Suuure. ;)

    I should follow closely and make a list for the nyc meet-up. We could do a *Pattz wuz here* tour. xD
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Ready to get riled up?

    http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=90837...

    This guy is a lunatic.
  • JCullen81
    What an @ss....Only a man could write that kind of BS..... He is the reason why women are so attracted to character of Edward!!!
  • Here's my little take on the subject....

    Catherine = Upon reviewing the behind the scenes junk on the dvd I realised something. She reminds me of a chicken with it's head cut off, running around not knowing it's own arse from a hole in the ground. Total chaos. Who, by the way, I just read (roommate gets Entertainment mag afterall) she is remaking Hamlet. But in her own way. I will let the Hamlet fans ripe her a new one.

    Chris = Espresso sipping, laid back, ho-hum mellow dude. He knows what he is doing. He has his junk together better than AIG bank with 80 billion dollars.

    I *heart* Chris. Honestly...I would rather Eclipse to have been pushed back. Give Chris enough time to put together New Moon, and then begin on Eclipse. I adore him.
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    LOVE Chris.

    This was a good description of Cathering TWP... lol... I won't be spending my money to go see her rendition of Hamlet... that scares me.

    With what David Slade has done, I can see them using him for the "new borns", but in my opinion, I'd rather see Chris do Eclipse (my favorite book) and use David to help with just the new born stuff... I am a little scared I have to say... I hope he (David) doesn't make it too scary of a movie, I always looked at that one as the funny one.
  • I loved Eclipse too. New Moon is still my favorite. Simply for the introduction of the pack. Including Paul *DROOLS* always had a soft spot for that hot head. I *heart* the bad boys.

    I can understand why David was chosen for Eclipse. More importantly I understand the fear of him directing. Basing my impression of 30 Days of Night I'm okay. He mixed romance and suspense very well. The ending of that movie nearly brought me to tears. I just wonder how the wolves will look compared to New Moon. I wonder how the make up with compare and everything.
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    I hope he keeps the wolves the same.... they really don't need to be scary.
    I definitely cried at the end of 30 days, I'm such a sucker for that! ;)
  • The wolves definitley do not need to be scary. I never had the "scared" vibe with them anyway. I'm a sucker for endings like 30 days too.
  • Alex
    New pictures of Kristen going to studio:

    And this is pictures of Rob in NY:
    http://www.laineygossip.com/Robert_Pattinson_ru...
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Awe, Kristen has been really happy looking the past few days! Must be a release of all the pressure of the filming..... Love her smile.

    I always wonder who Rob's talking to on his phone. His so cute! Stop trying to hide that beautiful face Rob! You're killin me!
  • LovesAlice
    i think he is a great director like Catherine!
  • Rob_is_my_Kryptonite
    The cast's approval gives me even MORE confidence in Chris! Can't wait till November to witness it!!
  • kerbear585
    so glad to see kristen smiling. she must be relaxed and having a good time taking a break till her Joan Jett film.
    i really want Chris to do the rest of the series!!!! it seems like he has done a great job with new moon and the whole cast loves him and thinks so and obviously want to work with him again. maybe he will be assistant director or something but hopefully he will definitely come back for BD!!
  • pamloves
    i have noticed that with recent pics of kristen that she is all smiles. i hope they can bring cw back for bd.
  • CJean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch
    I love Chris. He will do excellent job on New MOon. I have total confidence.
  • me too
    he deff. knows what his doing
    they should have kept him for the nxt movies
  • CJean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch
    I was thinking the same thing, but I guess I'll have to see how David Slade does Eclipse. He might do really well...but I still am not sure about him. He just doesn't seem like he would be able to direct the emotional side and the romance eclipse has. We will see.
  • yeah thats my thought exactly (hi5)
    he deff. doesnt looks like the romantic type......
    but i have no doubt that all the fights are be awesome...... from jaspers memories of the civil war to the BIG one with icky vicky
  • CJean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch
    *Squeal*
    I'm so excited for Eclipse, you can't talk about amazing scenes like that, ferni. New Moon hasn't even come out, and now you're torturing me with Eclipse. haha :)
  • *puts head in shame*
    sorry, i jux get so carried away..... with new moon being my fav and soooo amny stuff going on ........
    here i go again
    sorry
    i am so looking forward to the kiss between bella and jake
    *hopes eddie wont get mad at her*
  • CJean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch
    I know, the tent scene is going to be amazing...and the battle with the newborns, rosalie and jasper's past, the graduation, the wolf stuff... now you got me going on Eclipse.
  • ahhhhhhhh i know..... the sexy wolves

    the real proposal

  • CJean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch

    I trust him with all my heart.
    New moon is going to be amazing. Beyond words, I hope!
  • It's ok Mike, I'll say it for you

    ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER!!!!

    It's okay, don't be afraid to express your true feelings
  • 4thewolf
    Yay!!! This post has officially put me over the edge. Forget the actors *chucks Taylor shrine out window and rips up Kellan poster*
    I am officially in LOVE with Chris Weitz. All the praise has made me madly in love with him... and I will be hopelessly devoted to him... as long as I blindfold myself while watching his movies...to much eye candy.
    *runs off to buy him a scarf*
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Oooohhh all these comments the cast makes about Chris makes me LOVE, respect and have more faith in him than ever!!! Woohoo I'm so happy that he directed NM... I can tell from what we've seen that he kept REALLY close to the book and casted really good.... wooohooo... I cant wait to see the finished product.... NOVEMBER hurry the HALE up!!!
  • PracticallyAliceCullen
    I absolutely love Chris Weitz! He is making this movie such a bigger hit than Twilight, which is hard to believe.... Catherine did okay, but the whole 'different styles' thing is bulllsh**. I can't wait till NOVEMBER!!!!!!! That teaser trailer from MTV was NOT ENOUGH! I'm so glad they got the papercut scene in there, though. I've been DYING to see that!
  • Chris is soo awesome.
    When I first heard he was hired, and read his little letter thing on stephenies website, I just had this feeling he'd do a great job.
    With catherine, I didnt. I was scared actually.

    Chris is handsome and his voice makes me melt. Hes intelligent and takes this movie very seriously. He sticks to the books, and unlike catherine, his ideas HELP the movie not completely flush it down the toilet.
    I want Chris do do Breaking Dawn, and hopefully redo Twilight.
