Chris Weitz on New Moon


USAToday has an article about the upcoming movies about werewolves in 2009. Chris Weitz talks about "New Moon" and his male leads, Edward and Jacob. According to the article, New Moon will start filming March 23.

"Taylor is a formidable guy, kind of a great tool in the toolbox," Weitz says of the nearly 17-year-old actor who has been working out daily and has packed on 29 pounds, most of it muscle. "In the first movie, we did not see or recognize how dangerous a character he could be."

"The vampires are about distance and reserve," he says about the contrast between his male leads. "Edward represses his desire to do harm. Jacob is very warm and emotional, but also feels the heat of anger. When he transforms, it's like losing your temper — sudden, explosive and lightning-quick."

Where Bella is concerned, he adds, "Edward represents the unattainable perfection of first love. Jacob is friendship."
