CNN: Chris Weitz Talks ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ DVD
Posted by Nim

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.

I can’t wait; I love their comments on filming. I do wish Rob and Kristen could have done it; the one with Catherine Hardwicke on the Twilight DVD was hilarious.

But in that picture, what on earth is Kristen wearing? I usually love her outfits but lately she’s been a little…eh…but this is…wow. What the heck happened? Why???

Anyway, looking forward to the DVD of NM. I don’t know which version to buy!

I still don’t know which version to buy!!! Does anyone know if there’s going to be a DVD with the digital copy like they did for Twilight??

Anna,
I agree, not sure what Kristen was wearing…and did you notice the yellow pants on Chris?

Anna and Caren,

Yep, thinking the same thing. What is she wearing? And Chris, orangy-yellow pants, seriously?

On a non-shallow note… only 25 more hours until the DVD release!

I’m just waiting to see if Slades’ Edward and Bella is as awkward and lifeless as Weitz’s Edward and Bella. Sad but I won’t be buying NM. I still think it was awful.

Btw Summit is just AWFUL at promoting Remember Me. It’s not bad enough the hired the most imcompetent people to market that film, Now they’re releasing & throwing NM DVD parties on the second week of the film’s release. I mean Seriously!

so is the DVD with the eclipse sneak peek the same sneak peek we saw like a week ago?

AWWW I wish they were doing the commentary. They were on the Twilight commentary with Catherine, right? I remember Rob talking about the bouffant that he has. It was quite hilarious.

And as weird as it is, Anna, I sort of like Kristen’s shirt. LOL It’s so bold.

I’m a fan of twilight but I agree with AP. Chris made them lifeless, and dumbed them right down, so it was definately a tween movie,. Really hope slade adds more conversation and makes them more mature.
