The director of “American Pie” and “About a Boy” wasn’t the obvious choice to take on “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the second book in Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster teen vampire romance series. But Chris Weitz, who also writes and produces, sometimes with his brother Paul, had done a fantasy adaptation in 2007’s “The Golden Compass” and felt a connection to the material. On Nov. 20, “Twilight” fans — and Summit Entertainment, which is releasing the film — will determine whether he was up to the task.
The Hollywood Reporter: Why did you want to do a “Twilight” movie?
Chris Weitz: The tonality of the movie, which has a lot to do with heartbreak and longing, depression and reunion and ecstasy — these were emotions that struck a chord in me. I really loved the cast; Kristen (Stewart) and Rob (Pattinson) both are exceptionally talented. And I wanted to get my hand back in the game. There were a lot of things in this movie that I knew how to do: A combination of telling a character-based story but also handling special effects and working with young actors.
The results are in. The celebrity the GLAMOUR.COM readers voted as the Sexiest Youngster was… Robert Pattinson. The Twilight actor garnered a significant percentage of the votes to be named the hottest star under 30. Second in the poll was Transformers actress Megan Fox, who you voted as the Sexiest Woman, and third was the loveable High School Musical star Zac Efron. Robert Pattinson’s Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart wasn’t far behind him, at No.4, and Vanessa Hudgens finished off the top five.
I thought this was a pretty good article about NOT believing everything you read about Rob. ~Christy
