It is rumoured that director Chris Weitz is currently considering taking on the directorial chair for Twilight sequel New Moon. Having worked in the past with brother Paul on the films of American Pie and About a Boy, and also having directed The Golden Compass alone; it’s clear that Chris is a talented director. Is he the right person to tackle New Moon though, and will he indeed decide to direct the film for Summit Entertainment?
New Moon is planned to begin filming in March, and has a release date penned for November 20th 2009. A director needs to be decided soon, and whoever does take the film on won’t be given too much time to perfect their work. I feel Weitz could do the film well, and it would seem that the offer is there, and should he wish to take it on, then the job is his.
Official confirmation of New Moon’s director will surely soon come, in the mean time however, Summit Entertainment and fans alike will have to endure a wait as Weitz mulls over the offer and decides upon whether or not his directorial future lies with New Moon.
