MTV sat down with Chris Weitz to talk to him about the upcoming sequel to Twilight, New Moon.
Now, with a mere 13 weeks (!) until we can finally watch the Bella/Edward/Jacob love triangle get even pointier, director Chris Weitz sat down with MTV News for an exclusive chat about his “New Moon” rising.
MTV: You revealed two scenes that were a big hit at Comic-Con. How do they fit into the movie?
Chris Weitz: We showed two new scenes, and each one focused on abdominal muscles. That was the high point, I think, for the audience. [Laughs.] One scene was the one in which Jacob is teaching Bella how to ride a motorcycle. She falls, he comes to rescue her and dab her forehead — thereby revealing his bodacious abs and chest. And the other is Bella rushing to save Edward when he decides to commit suicide by revealing himself to the humans in Volterra, Italy.

Weitz is a funny man. I really like his sense of humour and enjoy his commentary often. I am looking forward to see what he does with the New Moon story and how it will differ from its predecessor, Twilight. How do you feel about Weitz as a director? Do you think he will bring the story forward, or hold it back? Are you excited to see how he compares to his brother’s work in Vampire’s Apprentice?

I cannot wait to see this movie and the magic that he's working. It is going take this franchise to a completely different level!
