This probably isn’t news to most of you but for those few of you like me who weren’t on their computers this weekend Summit has announced the new director for New Moon.  Chris Weitz directed American Pie, About a Boy, and The Golden Compass.  I’ve seen About a Boy but honestly it was so long ago that I don’t remember anything about it.  I’ll probably check it out to remind myself.  The commercials for The Golden Compass looked amazing but I didn’t see it because I’ve read the books and know how the series ends and it royally pissed me off.  I didn’t want to get into the movies knowing full well where they would take me.  So basically what I’m saying is that I don’t have any feelings about Weitz.  Good or bad.  I enjoyed Hardwicke’s work but there was so much room for improvement.  Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

There’s a message from Stephenie and a note from Weitz to check out for more information.  Have you seen his work?  How do you think he’s going to do?
