New Moon Director Chris Weitz has a new interview with the LA Times.
It's now July, and Weitz will face 6,000-plus screaming fans as he unveils never-before-seen footage from "New Moon" at Comic-Con International in San Diego on Thursday. At last year's convention, months before "Twilight" was released, the delighted squeals were nearly deafening.
Driving home from a day of post-production, Weitz says he understands what's at stake. There are 450 visual effects shots to complete, in addition to the score and the movie's soundtrack, which he says will feature songs from Radiohead, Muse and Band of Skulls, among others. But the sequences he's readying for the event -- one, an action scene that will feature some of those effects, the other, a love scene sure to elicit hysteria from the crowd -- will be done in time.
With so much on the line at Comic-Con, where word of mouth can often make or break a project, Weitz is feeling fairly confident that the reaction will be positive, especially since many of the cast members will be there.
"It's a rare and wonderful feeling to know that people are going to want to see what you're making," he says. "The fear sometimes when you're making a film is that you've gotten everybody all dressed up with nowhere to go. Certainly, there is the possibility that I can drop the ball . . . . But at least people are going to go and see it."
