The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz is talking about his filmmaking style differs from that of Catherine Hardwicke, who directed the highly successful debut film of the franchise. Weitz told Screenstar.com:
I think the biggest change would be that I am a bit of of an old fogy. I’m old-fashioned and I think Catherine is very “fashion forward” and conscious of a pop sensibility. I am more tied to the old-fashioned romantic films. So that would be, if you were a film nerd, you would notice the palate of the film, the camera work. I am a lot less likely to use hand-held cameras than Catherine Hardwicke is. Things like that, they are more stylistic differences than my kind of “taking it and throwing it away." Obviously I owe her a lot, because she cast this great cast [so] I kind of inherited this cool “toolbox” and this extraordinary fan base.
Weitz, who previously directed the film fantasy The Golden Compass, and previously executive produced American Pie 2 and American Wedding, of course faces an enormous challenge taking up the mantle of one of the most talked about film properties on the planet. He also has the advantage of a nearly guaranteed huge opening weekend. Although some fans, who loved the first film, may worry about a new directorial approach, James Bond and Harry Potter, just to name two, have had some of their most successful installments under the guidance of new directors.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens on November 20th. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, is currently filming in Vancouver with director David Slade helming.
