Hollywood Reporter’s Q&A with Chris Weitz
The Hollywood Reporter released a Q&A with New Moon director Chris Weitz today. In it, he talks about why he chose to direct New Moon and his dealings with Stephenie Meyer.THR: How much did you interact with Stephenie Meyer?
Weitz: A lot; we’ve had a real good collaboration. Crucially, she approved me as director, and she didn’t have to. We had some discussions that were very important — my convincing her that I didn’t want to take her baby and run away with it, or tell a story that was counter to the spirit of what she was trying to tell. I see myself, in the last few movies I’ve done, as adapting literary properties into film, so that’s how I treated this one. We got along like a house on fire.
