Chris Weitz: One scene he regrets making

New Moon was panned by critics despite its box-office success. There were scenes in the film that was laughed at despite the film’s beautiful cinematography. However, according to director Chris Weitz, there is one scene that he regrets filming.

“I wouldn’t have shot Bella running through the forest with Edward, because I’ve never been at a screening of the film in which people didn’t laugh at it,” Weitz told me. “My heart sinks every time I hear that.”

“The moment anything is shown anywhere in public you can see it on the Internet in about a second,” Weitz said. “Something being shown at the Rome Film Festival for 400 people is given away instantly, [such is] that extreme portability of media.”

So how will he do it again, given a chance?

“I think I would’ve shot it in a much simpler way, and have it be an extreme close-up on Kristen and her eyes. She’s got a great face, and that would’ve been very satisfying. But I’m a sap,” Weitz said.

Robert Pattinson didnt like the way New Moon was treated by critics

In a new interview with Parade Magazine, Robert Pattinson expressed his opinion on how critics were quite unfair and harsh to New Moon.

“I didn’t like the way New Moon was treated by the critics. I think it was reviewed in the context of just being a big franchise movie. When something is so hyped, inevitably, there is a backlash against it. I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director. I really enjoyed the film. So the naysayers kind of annoyed me.”

He also talked about how acting became a therapy, loosing a loved one and many more.

Acting as therapy.
“I try and pick roles that will help me develop as a human being and I think I was going through a similar kind of experience as my character Tyler, which I guess you could call being rebellious. I thought just doing the film would actually help me to think about and discover things that would help me in my life. I was kind of using it as a therapy exercise.”

Connecting with losing a loved one.
“I keep talking about my dog all the time. It was an incredible dog, and I said in an interview recently he was the most important person in my life. My family went crazy with me for saying that. But, however ridiculous it may seem to some people, my relationship with my dog was a defining moment. Having the dog die was, literally, like the worst day of my life. It was like losing a family member.”

The reality of becoming an overnight success.
“I think you really cause yourself a lot of problems if you start fighting against it. There’s nothing you can do. I mean, there’s no mysticism to it. People recognize you and they want to talk to you, or want to see you. My trick is not to see them as a crowd. If you break down every crowd into individuals, then it’s more manageable. It’s just when you start seeing these huge masses of people screaming at you that you start going crazy. So I try to focus on a few faces and not the mass.”
