Really?!?!? Seriously, the Golden Compass was amazing. (Sure, it was different from the book…) But the quality of the movie was still great. And he knows the fans loved book so he made it VERY close with the movie. When I found out Chris Weitz was directing the film I was excited becuase I knew the creation of the the movie would be in greats hands. Please don’t compare someone elses previous work to this. Thank you.

Wow! This trailer gave me goosebumps! I love the wolf transformations. Chris has done a very good job with New Moon, and I can say that even before watching it. I hope the slap didn’t hurt Alex too much….

No it’s not how she finds out about Jake. I watched the new Access Hollywood clip and in that clip, she tells Jacob, “But you’ve killed people Jake.” at the beach. So that’s when she finds out. This scene comes after that when Jake was ready to take Bella to meet the rest of the wolves before going to Emily’s.

OMG That was great. I love the line with Bella saying, “he didn’t want this!” and Paul saying “What did he tell you?” LOVE IT!!! I do wished they kept Jacob next to Bella but I bet they changed it for the dramatic Jacob jump.

Hear, hear! Couldn’t agree more, with everything you said.

Seriously, when are some people going to realize that if a movie followed the book exactly, it would be a terrible movie? Books do things that movies can’t, and vice versa. Not to mention that the movie would be twelve hours long! I mean, I know some of us would love to stare at Rob for that long, but that’s just not how movies work. Sadly.

I’ve been saying this all along: if Stephenie approves of the changes (and she always does; Summit works with her closely), then we should, too.

Okay, I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to jump to Chris Weitz’s defense here. Anyone who blames him for Golden Compass hasn’t heard the whole story. The movie studio FORCED him to change it from the book, which he was extremely unhappy about. He’s even said he had a terrible experience filming it, and that he was so grateful to work on New Moon, with a studio that actually wanted to stay true to the books. (Watch the Comic Con Q&A.)

Directors have a certain level of responsibility for the artistic choices of a film, yes. But when the studio tells them to do something? They are under a contract, and they have to listen.

I have absolute faith in Chris. Did you know he forced them to change parts of the NM script, when he felt it wasn’t true enough to the book? He also worked closely with Stephenie. No, this movie won’t be exactly the same as the book (nor should it be), but Chris Weitz worked hard to do justice to New Moon, and I think we should respect him for it. And if we’re pleased with what we see in November, we should be happy and grateful he got the job.
