Is Chris Weitz quitting directing?

November 18, 2009 Posted by Lindsay in Breaking Dawn,Chris Weitz,New Moon

Well, for anyone hoping that Chris Weitz might direct Breaking Dawn, this won’t be good news. He told MovieMaker magazine that he may just quit directing films after his next film The Gardener.

“Every time I make a movie I’m pretty much convinced it’s the last time I’m going to be able to do it and that really it’s a rather silly occupation to undertake,” says Weitz, 40, whose Oscar nod was for the adapted screenplay of 2002′s About a Boy. “But I think I have maybe one more film in me.”

And I hope to God his 'one more' is Breaking Dawn. He is a crazy, talented director and I would hate to see him sell himself short and quit now that hes in his prime. Not to say New Moon was his prime, but now is definately the time to stay in the movie business. If its not broken, dont fix it. Same goes for, if you are great at what you do,stick with it. Obviously he deserves to do what makes him happy. But I do truely hope that he sticks to his calling which seems to be appropriately deemed Director.

NOOOO.... not Chris Weitz!! His an amazing director and the love of my life... Even after METTING the cast @ the new moon uk fan event, I still Love Chris!! I even said that to him when he came round, which made them all laugh! but he said it back which was great :L

I cant believe Chris Weitz is giving up... about a boy, golden compass and New Moon is brilliant, how can someone with so much talent (& gorgeous if i may add) can do this when he is destined to be a director...

LOVE YOU CHRISSY-KINS!
