Unlike so many film franchises with ultra-loyal followings, the "Twilight" series has roped in a new director for each successive installment. After Catherine Hardwicke steered the first flick to over $380 million in worldwide ticket sales, Chris Weitz took over for "New Moon," which is already getting plaudits for its impressive CGI-enhanced action. "Eclipse," meanwhile, will soon be wrapping principle photography in Vancouver under the watchful eye of director David Slade.
All of which raises a compelling question: Who will be tapped to helm "Breaking Dawn," the expected adaptation of the fourth and final of Stephenie Meyer's vampire book series? According to Weitz, it just might turn out to be him, as he hinted in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"No official offer has been made," the director said when asked about directing "Breaking Dawn." "The fans have been enthusiastic about the ['New Moon'] footage and the trailer, and the studio responds to that by feeling good about me. We'll have to see how people feel about the entire movie, not only the studio but the fans, before the verdict is out whether I direct # 4." More at MTV
One trailer after another, I think Chris Weitz really did an amazing job with New Moon. I do hope he comes back for Breaking Dawn. Uhmm, I wonder how is he with "sexy time" scenes? Think - Isle Esme, stone cottage in the woods, lol.
