Director of the upcoming film, 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' in a new interview is discussing everything from the cast of the film, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Michael Sheen, and Dakota Fanning to shooting in Italy. Like always, it is a very insightful interview.
When asked about filming on location in Italy, in his interview with MTV, Weitz replies, "Wow, am I glad we were able to shoot there. We went to about 12 different hilltop towns in Tuscany, which was both delightful and exhausting, because it had to be done relatively quickly. Montepulciano had the most symmetrical main square that I could find, so that was the winner for that reason." He continues, "We took out a lot of the cold, blue tones of the first movie to begin with. But the golden quality and the red, which we had sort of purposely saved in terms of our production design and our costume design, came out in Italy. We actually planned it so there were very few occurrences of the color red. It's very rare in the beginning of the film. And then, suddenly, you're sort of punched in the eye with this burst of red when Kristen [Stewart]'s character arrives in the main square."
He says of actor Michael Sheen, "He is one of those extraordinary British actors who is adaptable to any circumstance and who has not a millimeter of ego. Michael kind of approached this role — not as a gag but thought, 'Well, what would a 2,000-year-old vampire be like?' "Weitz then comments on Dakota Fanning's character, Jane, "She's never really gotten to play a bad person before, probably because she is a very good person. She is really a lovely young person. But I think she had some fun playing, really, the most evil of all the bad guys. [Jane]'s bad news. Very bad."
