'New Moon' Director Finds The Cure For Robert Pattinson Withdrawal'We've got a nice dose of Taylor [Lautner] to sweeten any Rob deficiencies,' Chris Weitz tells MTV News.
par Larry Carroll
SAN DIEGO — It's hard to imagine a fall movie we're plus excited to see than "New Moon," the feverishly anticipated sequel to last year's "Twilight" and, technically, the prequel to suivant year's "Eclipse." toi know the players, toi know the plot details, and you've watched the trailers a few hundred times.
Now, with a mere 13 weeks (!) until we can finally watch the Bella/Edward/Jacob l’amour triangle get even pointier, director Chris Weitz sat down with MTV News for an exclusive chat about his "New Moon" rising.
MTV: toi revealed two scenes that were a big hit at Comic-Con. How do they fit into the movie?
Chris Weitz: We showed two new scenes, and each one focused on abdominal muscles. That was the high point, I think, for the audience. [Laughs.] One scene was the one in which Jacob is teaching Bella how to ride a motorcycle. She falls, he comes to rescue her and dab her forehead — thereby revealing his bodacious abs and chest. And the other is Bella rushing to save Edward when he decides to commit suicide par revealing himself to the humans in Volterra, Italy.
MTV: You're in the unenviable position of needing to stay true to the source material but also needing to find plus screen time for one of the world's biggest movie stars. How did toi go about doing that?
Weitz: [We wanted to avoid] just randomly inserting Rob throughout the movie in a back-at-the-ranch sort of way, which would just be about box office and us being worried about whether people would deal with the darkness of the seconde book. People are actually very ready for [the dark] aspect of it. What we basically did was to take the aural hallucinations that Bella has of Edward and turn them into visual hallucinations. But I wanted to do them very subtly — so that it wasn't whacking toi over the head with CGI — and to give toi the sense that toi have when toi are broken up with and when toi are really longing for someone. They are both not there at all and there all the time. And so, the notion that toi have of someone's presence as absence is what we're portraying. You'll see quite a lot of Rob in the film, but it's seen subjectively, through Bella's eyes. It's also in dreams that she has of him as well. It strikes this very fine balance between too much Rob and too little Rob.
MTV: For a lot of fans, there's no such thing.
Weitz: Well, I know for a lot of people there's no such thing as too much Rob. But we've got a nice dose of Taylor to sweeten any Rob deficiencies. It is a disease that can only be treated with Vitamin T, for Taylor.

MTV: Obviously, "New Moon" is written from the perspective of Bella. But Melissa Rosenberg recently told us about a scene with Victoria that gets away from Kristen's point of view. Are there other moments like that?
Weitz: It's from Bella's point of view ... but, for instance, when Alice has a vision of Edward about to commit suicide, we see her vision. To me, that's fair — because, in the book, Alice conveys that immediately to Bella, and toi can see Bella imagining what Alice is saying. At points where a reader of the book might logically imagine a scenario, it was OK for the filmmakers — me — to imagine seeing something that would be outside of Bella's knowledge at that point. ou something that's within the scope of her imagination. She fears the worst, really, in terms of Edward.
MTV: Kristen has spoken to us in the past about the pivotal cliff-diving scene. How much CGI will there be, and how much will really be her?
Weitz: It's a hybrid — a reallocation of mapping the texture of real locations onto green screen and creating computer mannequins of real locations. We needed to create just the right kind of stormy weather, so there's a lot of CG water and waves, which we combined with pool work that we did with Kristen. And so, eventually, it looks like a scene with a real location, but in order to get the kind of pinpoint control that toi want to accurately represent what's in the book, toi need to employ the very best that toi can in terms of CGI. People should never notice when that's happening — except when I just gave it away. [Laughs.]

Renesmee Pov.
I was excited when I heard that I got to do what my family does!
I was happy until now. That sign creeped me out. Greatly. Mom and
Dad were in front of the crowd, and I stood in the back suivant to Emmett
and Rosalie. Uncle Emmett hugged me. He knew that I was dyingly scared.
"It will be okay. Uncle Jasper will be back to normal in no time," he a dit gently.
"Right. He will be fine," Aunt Rosalie said.
Suddenly, the large door opened, then, mom and dad entered proudly.
__________________________________________________
I felt a chill spread through my body. Though, I felt like I need to help Jasper. He needs
help. My help.
As we entered the black castle, it was pitch black. There was a bondfire ahead of us and
it wasn't just a regular fire! IT MOVED! It showed us the way until we reached the main room.
Then there were three doors. Through the middle, we heard yelling and screaming from a
girl.

For those of toi who don't know me, ou have never read my fanfictions, I'm renesmeblack. I write a story from Renesmee, Jacob, Mine, and occasionally Emmett's POV. Now, I have a ton of bad ideas, and some of the things toi read from me are crash tests. Thankfully, many of my readers enjoy my fanfictions. The dummy is saved!
My stories are for girls who can't stop lire the books. It's for girls who'd pester Stephenie Meyer to write a sequel, if they had a chance! I l’amour Jacob, so that's another reason why girls read my, frankly, ameteur (hope I spelled that right!) writing. toi wanna know the best part?
Okay, here goes nothing.
IT NEVER ENDS!!!
There. I feel better now. Yup, toi read correctly. It'll never end until I grow out of the Twilight Stage (like that'll happen.).
For the very few fans I have, thanks for the support and I'll see toi in the lire section!
-Thanks!
