Chris Weitz Says Cry Already!
Coming into a close knit family was the task at hand for director Chris Weitz last year when it was announced he would direct New Moon. Fans, actors, and the crew supported Weitz throughout the whole process and we are only weeks away from seeing his masterpiece on the big screen. In a new interview with People Magazine, Weitz is divulging news on how he wants tears shed throughout New Moon.
Before hearing this news, I already planned on packing my granny style tissues in my oversized boyfriend’s sweater for opening night of New Moon. While reading New Moon, I was so torn between Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), I swear there were watermarks on the better half of the book. I hated that Edward left Bella (Kristen Stewart), I hated that Bella befriended Jacob, and I hated that they all had to suffer so much. There was so much pain that produced tears but there were also grandiose romantic gestures throughout the book that caused a different kind of tears — tears of joy, just streaming down your face.
I tend not to cry a lot but when it comes to the Twilight Saga and that Holiday song “The Christmas Shoes” I am a total sucker. So when I heard that director Chris Weitz wants me to cry in New Moon, I knew it would be game over for me! Weitz told People, “We’ve tried our best to deliver on the romantic scenes in the film, and I would like to be able to produce more tears than any movie before, if possible.” Oh Chris, don’t you worry we will all be whimpering like children when Edward and Bella embrace in Italy. Weitz goes on to joke, “If we could only weigh them with some kind of cubic tear measure!”
