New Moon Has Me Laughing Out Loud Already [Poster]

Literally. Just saw this poster on Aint it Cool and LAUGHED OUT LOUD. This movie is gonna be awesome, guys. Awesome in that it could potentially be worse than Twilight. I mean, LOOK AT THIS THING. Click to enlarge for the full effect.

It looks like daytime television. It looks like a pose that would appear on the cover of Soap Opera Digest. I know this because I’ve been on and off watching soaps for 11 years (I was bored during winter break one year in middle school…so sue me) and subscribed to SOD for a brief period of time. That might as well be Carrie, Austin & Mike from Days of our Lives circa 1999. I mean, COME ON. And Edward’s white white skin makes me laugh on its own. Cause it’s just so white. And sometimes, it sparkles! 

Listen, I’m seeing this movie opening weekend. I’m just not expecting it to be any good.

Chris Weitz to Direct New Moon?

Nikki Finke is reporting that About a Boy & Golden Compass director Chris Weitz has been asked to direct the Twilight sequel.

…my source says Summit Entertainment liked the look of that even if it didn’t heat up the domestic box office (but did better overseas). I don’t have official confirmation yet that this Twilight sequel offer has gone out to Weitz. But my insider says another reason it came down is because Weitz and Summit’s president of production Eric Feig are longtime pals. The source tells me Weitz is “still considering” the offer to helm New Moon and possibly also Eclipse if the sequel and threequel movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer’s series of vampire books are made back-to-back.

While I’d have never jumped to “I know! Chris Weitz!” when asked who should helm New Moon, I can’t say I hate the idea. Interested to know how this pans out – if in fact he was offered the job and if he will take it.
