Chris Weitz om Robert Pattinson

TIME 100 har en lista med de 100 mest inflytelserika människorna, och har låtit 100 människor som står nära dessa inflytelserika människor skriva lite om de. Blev det rörigt nu? Robert Pattinson var med på listan och de har låtit Chris Weitz skriva några rader.

(engelska)

I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I’m dead meat. That’s the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It’s certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who’d rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.

So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud’s rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it’s just worth pointing out that it’d be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren’t Edward Cullen. That we haven’t seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

Jag måste vara försiktig med vad jag skriver här eftersom folk kommer twittra om det här sekunden TIME kommer ut. Och om jag säger något dåligt om Rob Pattinson, är jag en död man. Det är den hängivenhet Twilight-filmerna inspirerar. Det är verkligen inte hur han tänkte sig. Och trots att jag ständigt är imponerad av den självsäkerhet han hanterar hysteri med, tror jag ibland att han skulle ta allt tillbaka om han får chansen. Eftersom huvudsakligen är Rob, 23,  en reserverad,  slags bokälskande individ, en kille som hellre vill tillbringa natten i hörnet bordet på puben med vänner – lite weirdo, uppriktigt sagt.

Så hur ska man skriva om någon som verkar svara på Freuds retoriska fråga, vad vill kvinnor ha? Kanske är det bara värt att påpeka att det skulle vara kul att ta en öl med honom även om han inte var Edward Cullen. Att vi inte har sett en tiondel av vad han kan göra skärmen. Och det viktiga saker, utöver slöjan av Hollywood, använder sin tid också – musik, samtal, idéer, nästan lite absurt. Vilket kanske förklarar varför han aldrig läser mina mejl. Jag älskar dig, Rob! Ring mig!

Intervju med Chris Weitz; CNN

CNN fick chansen att snacka med självaste Chris Weitz, i intervjun snackar de om New Moon DVD:n (vilka här är lyckligt lottade och redan har ett exemplar? :o ) och hur han blev involverad med TTS!

CNN: For the DVD, what do you think the fans will appreciate the most?

Chris Weitz: What they’ll appreciate most is certain scenes that didn’t make it into the film. … There’s basically more Bella [Kristen Stewart], there’s more Edward [Robert Pattinson], there’s more Jacob [Taylor Lautner], and it’s often sort of more extended versions of scenes where things are discussed at greater length rather than entirely new scenes. I think there’s a lot of good stuff in the movie for fans, and at the same time we didn’t want to get rid of any of their favorite scenes.

CNN: At the time the movie came out, you said you were hoping to do the commentary with Pattinson and Stewart. What happened?

Weitz: They blew me off! (laughs)

CNN: Those young actors.

Weitz: I have to say, they had a lot on their plates … and there came a day when it was just me in a room, and I said, ”I don’t want to do this alone,” so we managed to get my editor [Peter Lambert] on a satellite linkup, and we watched the movie together. And I think that it’s frankly rather amusing, because we have a joshing relationship, whereas it may have been a bit more stilted had it been the kids and me, because they’d have to say nice things about me all the time.

CNN: When you watch the movie again, is it the kind of thing that you say, ”Why did I make that decision?” perhaps because there was a deadline you had to hit.

Weitz: Well, there is that old saying, ”A film is never finished; it’s abandoned.” But there’s only one shot in the movie that embarrasses me, because every time I saw it in the movie, everybody laughed, even the most Twihard of them all. It’s when you first see Bella has become a vampire, and she’s running through the woods in this very diaphanous dress, and I guess my corny-meter was off that day. Everyone seems to find that terribly amusing.

Chris Weitz – 5 New Moon hemligheter

Tidigare så har Chris Weitz gett oss fem stycken New Moon hemligheter från filmen, nu så är det dags att säga fem stycken hemligheter om New Moon DVD:n! :D

´

Going for the Gold: In “Twilight,” RPattz and the rest of his vegetarian vampire cohorts have gold-colored eyes as a result of abstaining from consuming human blood. For “New Moon,” the vamps’ eyes were clearly more golden. Why’d Weitz have his actors switch to brighter contact lenses?

“It’s a more noticeable gold,” Weitz said. “I thought that in the first film they hadn’t popped quite enough and I wanted to have that sense of otherworldliness carry through more.”

The Silent Vampire: Actress Rachelle Lefevre was notoriously replaced in her role as the vampire Victoria following “New Moon,” with Bryce Dallas Howard taking over the part for “Eclipse.” In “New Moon,” Lefevre is seen but does not speak. Is there a connection between her lack of lines and what happened with the casting decision?

“It wasn’t so much that,” Weitz said. “There was a dialogue scene with her, and eventually that will show up whenever they release deleted scenes. It was one of those scenes that, when you look back at it, it’s kind of a surplus to the whole storytelling requirement of the movie. So there was no ill intent there. I wrote Rachelle and explained why that scene didn’t end up in the film, and in terms of filmmaking I can’t regret it, although I do regret it very much if it hurt Rachelle’s feelings.”

Why So Torn Up, Edward?: At one point in the film, Pattinson’s Edward Cullen appears in a ripped T-shirt, but we never learn why. So … what the heck happened?

“What it’s supposed to be is that he’s essentially been wearing the same clothes for several months, and that eventually they’ve just worn out because, as you I’m sure know, his body is like stone. So he must’ve rubbed up against something and it ripped,” Weitz said.

Our Lord?: In its Italian-set portions, “New Moon” features a significant amount of religious iconography, and Edward certainly suffers a great deal. Is he supposed to be a Christ figure?

“I think that he is in a sense he’s doomed to suffer eternally,” Weitz said. “He actually thinks of himself as a damned figure, but he’s wrong about that. So in some senses, yeah, he is a martyr figure.”

Black Eyes: In Stephenie Meyer’s book, Edward’s eyes go black in Italy. Why don’t his eyes turn in the film?

“It’s because I screwed up!” Weitz admitted.

Really? He just forgot?

“Well, yeah, I kinda did,” he said. “Well, there are two reasons. One is that I messed up. The other reason is that I actually thought that onscreen it would be quite bizarre to see his eyes go completely black, and that it would be more satisfying and less jarring to have that moment of reunion be a reunion with revivified Edward. But probably, the long and the short of it, there are many details that I did not drop the ball on, and there are some that I did.”

Var det något fel som ni registrerade då ni såg filmen? :)

Chris Weitz kommer inte regissera Breaking Dawn

IESB har gjort en lång intervju med Chris Weitz som ni hittar här. Där de pratar mycket om New Moon och om hur det var att jobba med filmen och the cast.

IESB: With the reception for New Moon being so overwhelming and favorable for the final outcome of the film, would you consider coming back to helm the last film, if that were to present itself, or have you moved on from the Twilight Saga?

Chris: I wouldn’t say it’s so much that I’ve moved on. It’s just a very daunting prospect for someone with a young family to imagine taking on what I think will probably be an 80-day shoot. It may have moved on from me. I think the best set-up for this series of films may be that there’s a new filmmaker for each one.

Vad tycker ni? Hade ni velat se Chris som regissör i Breaking dawn?

Chris Weitz säger att Eclipse kommer att vara `ångande´

Chris Weitz, regissören till New Moon, har nu fått se Eclipse manuset och här nedan är hans åsikt om manuset;

Team Jacob, hold on to your sleeping bags.

Chris Weitz, who directed New Moon, the second installment in the Twilight series, says he has read the script for this summer’s third installment, Eclipse – and that one scene in particular is a scorcher.

“I’m looking forward to the sleeping bag scene, I gotta say,” Weitz tells PEOPLE. “That’s going to be very steamy.”

Låter helt okej va? :D
