In this weekend’s edition of USA Weekend, they have a 2009 Holiday Movie Preview. New Moon is included in the list of “Things You Don’t Know About Upcoming Movies”! Here is what they say about the film, opening November 20!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Nov. 20) For efficiency’s sake, all scenes with water effects were shot in a single day in this sequel to last year’s vampire hit. “One scene called for Kristen Stewart to float completely still in a pool under 12 feet of water,” director Chris Weitz says. “She seemed apprehensive, so I thought, ‘I’ll show her it’s no big deal’ and put on a wet suit. I was at the bottom for no time at all before I freaked out.” Weitz adjusted the shot; now she floats atop the water. “I learned my lesson: Never ask an actor to do anything you won’t do yourself.”

Aw, I love Chris Weitz.  He seems like an actor’s director, for sure!

Thanks to @DeePeanuT24 for the heads up on this one!
