It’s now July, and in only a few days, Weitz will face 6,000-plus screaming fans as he unveils some never-before-seen footage from “New Moon” at Comic-Con International in San Diego. At last year’s convention, months before “Twilight” was released,” the delighted squeals were nearly deafening.
The two sequences he’s readying for the event-one, an action scene that will feature some of those effects, the other, a love scene sure to elicit a certain amount of hysteria from the crowd-will be ready in time.
With so much on the line at Comic-Con, where word of mouth can often make or break a project, Weitz is feeling fairly confident that the reaction will be positive, especially considering that so many of the cast members will be on hand.
“It’s a really rare and wonderful feeling to know that people are going to want to see what you’re making,” Weitz says. “The fear sometimes when you’re making a film is that you’ve gotten everybody all dressed up with nowhere to go. Certainly, there is the possibility that I can really drop the ball and everyone’s going to hate this and hate me for the job that I’ve done with it. But at least people are going to go and see it.”
