MTV has a brand new interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz where he talks a bit about the film and how he approached the creation of it in relation to Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight, coming in with a fresh sense of what the fans wanted–
“[I] was reading the book and really trying to pay attention to what I thought the devoted reader would want out of the film,” he said. “And I thought, ‘Well, they want something grand.’ “
“New Moon” will be much more of a blockbuster film than Hardwicke’s indie take on “Twilight,” Weitz confirmed. But he made sure to clarify that it won’t be a blockbuster in the “Transformers” sense — there won’t be objects exploding left and right — but in the classic “Doctor Zhivago” or “Seven Samurai” way.
“I think that Catherine Hardwicke had a very current pop sensibility and rock sensibility. I’m a complete square,” Weitz said with a laugh. “['New Moon' has] more of an old-school ethic, which won’t mean very much to most of the fans that are watching it, but in terms of how we set about shooting it, it probably feels a bit more like my sad attempt to echo David Lean or [Akira] Kurosawa or something like that.”
