Chris Weitz during the shooting of "New Moon"

The Hollywood Reporter has published an interview they held with Chris Weitz, director of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Although fairly short, the interview provides a decent illustration of how Weitz approached the source material for the film and what his attitude was towards making the film an adaptation of the book. It would appear that fans should expect a very loyal adaptation, with only minor tinkering with filmic imagery.Weitz claims to have been in constant contact with author Stephenie Meyer throughout the various production stages, which for fans hoping for a loyal adaptation is an encouraging verity.

Chris Weitz’s other directing credits include The Golden Compass, About a Boy, Down to Earth, and American Pie.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon hits theaters November 20th.
