This is the worst news I have heard for a longgg time. Chris Weitz is the last person I want directing anything that matters to me! For those of you who saw the Golden Compass and liked it, you clearly didn't read the books. I did, every year since I was 10. They were the most important thing in the world to me. I waited for the Golden Compass movie for 2 years, with realistic expectations. I know that one never fully enjoys a movie based on their favorite book. BUT WTF CHRIS WEITZ!!!? He ruined everything about it(I blame him twice over as he was also the Editor, never a good idea to do both!) He changed major plot twists and ended the film 3 chapters away from the real ending, effectively ruining the moving tragedy. I have hated him ever since. I almost wrote him hate letters, that's how much I dislike him! His other movies aren't exactly great cinema either, I mean About a Boy was watchable but do I really want the Director of American Pie Directing the next Twilight?? NO NO NO NO NO! CHRIST WEITZ YOU ALREADY RUINED MY MY FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME< DO NOT RUIN MY SECOND FAVORITE!!!! As a Twilighter I am adamantly opposed to this decision! NAY I SAY, NAY!!!! NO NO NO!

I enjoyed it to a certain extent. I havent read the book yet, but I plan to. I did think it was filmed well though and the effects were satisfactory. (And Im pretty picky about that kind of stuff.) So hopefully Chris will do okay. Id like to see New Moon have a less Indie-film feel to it. I was really NOT expecting that with Twilight. =( I saw Golden Compass, which at the time I hadnt realized was a book. I enjoyed it to a certain extent. I havent read the book yet, but I plan to.

That's the screenwriter's job. Therefore if you think New Moon may turn out not even remotely close to the book as per the director, please remember it's the screenwriter who's at fault. And I for one, can't wait to see how a man directs this iconic love story, and really, really hope they don't replace Talyor.
