Chris Weitz: Havent seen Eclipse footages

New Moon director Chris Weizt was asked by MTV if he ever saw an glimpse behind Eclipse or better yer footages from the recently-wrapped film. Unfortunately he hasnt. But he made sure to talk with director David Slade to ensure the transition of the films will be smooth.

“As a fan and a filmmaker, I’m excited to see finished stuff from ‘Eclipse’ rather than anything in progress,” Weitz said. “When you see works in progress, there’s always some guy standing in front of some big green curtain, and it’s all terribly disappointing. You really want to see the good stuff once it’s all finished.”

“It was like the transition team, so I could kind of let him know where things are going,” Weitz said. “The transfer of power was very successful. The transition teams coordinated extremely well.”

He also mentioned that he has long hours talk with Stephenie Meyer and made sure that she and the fans will be pleased with his adaptation.

Instead, he had long conversations with author Stephenie Meyer to make sure she thought he was the right director for the job and to make sure he captured her ideas of “New Moon” correctly.

“[I] was reading the book and really trying to pay attention to what I thought the devoted reader would want out of the film,” he said. “And I thought, ‘Well, they want something grand.’ “
