Chris Weitz On Robert Pattinson, Tweeting About Edward & "Fun" On The "New Moon" Set

I think you all know by now the love we have here for Chris Weitz.
It has grown even more since he joined Twitter and we've had the opportunity to get to "know him" better. If you're not following him you're missing out BIG TIME.

Here while being interviewed by Digital Spy for his new movie "A Better Life" (which I'm patiently waiting see as it's not out here yet) he talks about the "fun" he had on the "New Moon" set {giggle}, his rooting interest in Robert Pattinson and twitter.

Chris Weitz tweets about Robert Pattinson: "He's a super gracious guy."

Chris Weitz didn't let Robday stop him! Here are a collection of C-dub mentions of Robert Pattinson over the last few days:

northjers @chrisweitz Hi Chris.There is talk of Edward getting his own flashback in one of the BD films. Do you know, will we be seeing green eyes?

CW: Will have to wait until the Eye Color Director's Summit convenes at end of month.

Tink: LOL funny...but who wants this?? Safe to say ALL of us. :)

YekitaB @chrisweitz Tienes el numero de Robert Pattinson LOL

CW: Sí, y por $1000000 te do el area code

Tink: Anything Rob is worth SO much more. ;)

taarawilleatyou @chrisweitz Since you're famous and all, do you get stalkers and such people?

CW: Well, I'm not really famous. Only when in the blast radius of KS, Rob, Taylor.

SkylarLSpencer @chrisweitz Can you caption this Rob Pattinson pic?

CW: This f'in elephant gets NO f'in water.


Rebecaroa @chrisweitz I'll see if I can capture their attention with this:

CW: Amazing how much better he looks after we did the cgi, right?

tamzpcl @chrisweitz ~in the nm book edward stint w/volturi is much different. y does he get beat up n the movie??

CW: I like to see Rob getting pushed around

tamzpcl @chrisweitz ~y would u wanna make edward look pansy? he's sposed to be indestructable. same thing was done eclipse wit victoria n riley!

CW: Meh, Tammy, disagree, he's not indestructible to the Volturi. And the film needed some kinetic action.

Tink: I liked his opinion here even though, as a book reader, I disagree. I personally don't like that Edward is thrown around in every movie when in the books, he's not. However, I understand Mr. Weitz's point.

CcPrincess20 @chrisweitz would you go to Robs WFE premiere next month IF theres actually one here in LA?! That would be so cool if u attended

CW: I keep checking the mailbox...

@teampaul_05 chris one question that I have been wanting to ask you is why did you cut to black at the end of new moon?? and not see bella get in trouble by charlie

CW: Well, I think that would have been a lot less dramatic. For me the whole movie was building up to a point of dramatic tension.

Tink: Marry me, Bella....*le sigh*

smurfy_tapz @chrisweitz Rob and Kristen always mentioned about you being the most compassionate person they met and they're right!

CW: So true

@think_then_act:Is it weird to know many of your followers are waiting to watch Rob on leno? And just watched him on mtv?

CW: nah. Reasonable

arceecullen @chrisweitz Will you watch Leno??Rob's there.. :) and have you seen the new clip of WFE??

CW: Not even Rob can make me watch Leno

Janners @chrisweitz Yes but you're not a woman, Chris. There are something things we will endure, and Leno is one of them, for certain Our Rob. LOL!

CW: Sexist! How dare you say I'm not a woman just because I'm a man?

VitaminR70 @chrisweitz Rob answered my karaoke question tonight on MTV. Did you ever sing Purple Rain with him? What's your favorite karaoke song?

CW: I do a pretty good Johnny Cash. Probably because it's easy.

sccrbbkim @chrisweitz Rob was wonderful as always on the MTV interview! Do you think you will ever do another movie with him?

CW: I'd like to, he's good fun

Tink: so fun :))

@Stefy_s: @chrisweitz do you know rob is in LAright now?

CW: of course, he is giving me a deep-tissue massage

Miriam522 @chrisweitz are you aware that Rob is going to be on #MTV life on line in just 6 min from now ???

CW: I was not aware of that... The Knicks are playing the Pacers!

TwiGossipGirl I heart you @chrisweitz but today your tweets will be ignored b/c Rob goes on live in less then 10 minutes. Cant handle too much in feed!

CW: S'cool, go on Rob! I'll just take it easy

micarojas @chrisweitz what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you see your work done and u go back to just being Chris?

CW: Sleeeeeeeep. Hey I better stay quiet or the twihards are gonna git me! ;) they gotta talk Rob

YekitaB @chrisweitz What was the hardest scene to do for Robert and Kirsten. Please

CW: Well romantic scenes are hard. Movie sets are not romantic, hard to act intimate.

Tink: I don't even notice the camera...


Thanks ChocoMG2112 for finding :)

cullen195 @chrisweitz what was the craziest thing you've done and Rob on the set of new moon?

CW: 1) dsicuss a vampire's motivations, 2) pretend to be a vampire

Tink: They're totally talking about vampire motivations in this pic. ;)

smurfy_tapz @chrisweitz Did Rob get around to calling you after your nice write-up about him when he made TIME's 100 Most Influential? #ABetterLife

CW: Nah. The funny thing is, he usually gets in touch when he changes emails due to their being hacked.

rosenfie @chrisweitz oh. I am surprised he didn't thank you. really surprised.

CW: No, don;t get me wrong. He's a super-gracious guy. This was more my saying thanks to him, see?

CamiFaith @chrisweitz Why no airplane scenes in New Moon?? Missed a lot of Edward and Bella development. No bashing NM just curious? Please Reply!?

CW: Airplane cabins = boring. IMO.

Tink: *pout* I missed this scene...

Lilie06: In NM, the flashback scene of Edward&Bella in the meadow.. was it a real flashback from Twilight or did u reshoot it?

CW: reshoot -- Original had been shot in 3 locations on 3 separate days, I wanted 1 location and full control of images

Ausgirl123 @chrisweitz Can you see some parallels between the journey being taken by Rob and what Viggo went through the LOTR?

CW: Except for the years in the wild as a ranger, his sword, being king of Gondor, and his pivotal role in the downfall of Sauron, absolutely.

TracySHardin @chrisweitz if you could remake Star Wars with actors today, who would play Luke, Leia, Han, etc...?

CW: Wow unlovely this question. I will first answer seruously, then poorly. Luke: my man Lautner. Leia: KS. Han: James Franco. Darth: still
James Earl Jones. Young annakin: Rob. (Tink: I see it!!!) Young obi: Andrew Garfileld. Older Obi: Viggo yeah you heard me.
Comedy version: Luke: Michael Cera. Leia: beyonce. Han: Orlando bloom. Obi's: zach efron, the rock. Vaders: LeBron.

NASIBA0606 @chrisweitz What do you think about the new movie, Rob Water for Elephants

CW: I think nothing, not even thirsty elephants, justifies theft.

smurfy_tapz @chrisweitz I hope 3rd's time a charm, but I'm asking again, waddya think of Rob doing next his movie with Cronenberg?

CW: I think it'll be great. Rob is very intellectual & weird (in a good way) so they'll have fun

Chudygirl @chrisweitz You've mentioned J.Buckley a lot. Rumors have been swirling for yrs that Rob might star in his biopic. Would U want in on that?

CW: Wow he would be greatz

Tink: And a few non-Rob tweets that cracked me up PLUS one from our own, Kat!

SingleStrand: @chrisweitz Let's play FMK. Cathy Hardi, David Slade, Bill Condon. Go.

CW: not playing

nzjandalslover @chrisweitz So the only reason you're on Twitter is to promote your new stuff, not because you love us?

CW: Yes, absolutely, I have no gratitude whatsoever for the fans who loved my movie and helped me feed my family and get my film made ;)

BritKat @chrisweitz Why does A Better Life only have a limited release and how can we change that???

CW: By going to see it opening weekend!

jedesrosiers @chrisweitz what do you call your little one?

CW: How dare you disparage my manhood -- oh, wait. You mean Sebastian.

@CMarieGo @chrisweitz What are you hopes and dreams for your son Sebastian??? You've already said you would not encourage a career in the business. What else?

I just want to keep him off the stripper pole.

Chris Weitz tweets about Robert Pattinson: Sexy pinkies, abs, and musical instruments

Chris Weitz keeps the good times rollin' with more Robert Pattinson mentions. Kate got a question answered, C-dub talks fingerporn, and we start this round with Rob's abs.

luluhzinha__ @chrisweitz the Rob's tummy in New Moon was real or makeup? Pleeeeeease Chris kill my curiosity...

CW: Real makeup

Tink: puuuuh-lease. I picked this angle because you can clearly see baby boy was workin' OUT for New Moon. They may have added some makeup due to lighting but who's to say Taylor didn't have any makeup either? The lines are already there and you can see it in this side view. Now try not to drool and nibble your monitor.

offline82 @chrisweitz what one word would you use to describe kristen, rob and taylor?

CW: In a word...humans. I'm out!

Tink: I've been trying to get Mr. Weitz to talk about Rob's music for a bit and finally Kate broke through!

EmeraldKate @chrisweitz you're a talented guy so do you play any musical instruments? & Did you ever have a jam with Rob & the rest of the cast?

CW: I am master of the Pan Flute (not that Zamfir impostor)

Tink: *head desk*

offline82 @chrisweitz do you still keep in touch with kristen, rob or taylor? when was the last time you spoke to them?

CW: Taylor texted a few days ago to ask me to remind him of the all-meat restaurant my wife and I too him to.

jonasskyline @chrisweitz Did you ever had an argument with one of 'your' actors? if yes, who,what,why ? ;D

CW: Rob said that his pinky alone was more attractive than me. That was just TOO MUCH.

Tink: haha...too much? How about too true. ;)



Mr. Weitz doesn't understand fingerporn. It is a FACT that Rob's pinky/hands, alone, are more attractive than most men.

tduryea @chrisweitz If you could write a story about where Edward went after he left Bella, where would you have him go?

CW: Ok lemme tell you some mad secret stuff that nobody knows. I came up with a whole storyline where he went and worked with the dying in Calcutta. Stephenie VERY gently told me no way.

Netra @chrisweitz During NM did Rob switch between his British Accent and his American accent in between takes or does he try to talk w/ an American accent to stay in character?

CW: As I have said before, Rob is SLOVENIAN. So he confers with his Slovenian dialect coach between takes.

CSI_Robsten @chrisweitz so Rob asked to change hotel in Montepulciano. what happened?

CW: Well, we were staying at a so-so hotel, then somebody invited us to dinner at the Relais San Bruno, and it was paradise, and we were like, We gotta pack our crap -- we're all over this place.

theMwagon @chrisweitz answer the question everyone is dying to ask - ARE ROB AND KRISTEN DATING OR NOT?!

CW: Oh puhlease misses. Really? Is it gonna be me answering? Nuh-unh.

PaamSpunk @chrisweitz Edward has 108 years single. Do you think he kept some Playboy under the bed?

CW: Not Playboy, but maybe "Vamp It Up," the nudie mag for the undead.

PlumCrazyyy @chrisweitz why did Edward look like he just returned from a stint in a Nursing Home w/ all that wool? Wool Coat Mafia anyone?

CW: He told me he had the sniffles.

Tink: I'm a fan of Woolward...

Chris Weitz Twitters On About Robert Pattinson

Once again our favourite guy on twitter Chris Weitz was busy answering all the questions that everyone was firing at him. I honestly don't know how he keeps up with it all.

Here's a round-up of the ones that were about Rob and once again I'll ask, if you're not following him on Twitter "What are you waiting for??"

TwiFans @chrisweitz did you cry like a blubbering girl while reading the break up scene in New Moon? #itsnormal
CW What? No way...unhhh unhunnnhhhh don't remind me

(Kate: Giggle (not sure why I'm laughing about it, I was a mess)



RPattzgirl@chrisweitz did you notice after Bella saves Edward his white makeup is in her right sleeve? I love that part, BTW
CW I totally meant it Rona pent at way because um-- I meant that to happen (Kate:I'm not sure what he was trying to say in the middle of this?)

CalliopeBlabs dear @chrisweitz , i heard sometimes it would be cloudy on set and you'd ask robert to come by and suddenly the sun would shine. true/false?
CW He wouldn't have to come to set, I could just call him on the walkie and be like, dude, fix the weather.

Kate: And as we all know Rob can brighten up ANY day!



CalliopeBlabs dear @chrisweitz i heard you made robert pattinson wear uggs on set.... just because you could.
CW This is also true. He'd show up looking less than a 10 and I'd be like, "Uggggg-lee" and then He'd hang his head and get the boots.

What Chris Weitz Said About Robert Pattinson On Twitter Part 15780

I think this may start to become a daily "What Chris Weitz Said About Robert Pattinson On Twitter" post.
He was at it again last night although I missed it this time (I was in the land of nod) but Tink managed to get another question answered!

SO here's what Chris said:

@SarahCullen2010 @chrisweitz Hi Chris! R & K said they ad-libbed a line in New Moon. I think it was in car scene after Bella's b-day. What is the line?
chrisweitzBella saying I love you to Edward. Then the studio got me to replace it, then R and K talked me back into it.

@AngelAtTwilight: @chrisweitz We know the scene was filmed, we saw stills of it. Just wondering where did it go and why it wasn't in an outtake at least?

chrisweitzBasically, it was cut for narrative smoothness. I don't control the DVD extras! :(

@tinkrbe1l3 @chrisweitz OH MY GOSH! cant believe i haven't asked you this. What happened to the RKT commentary on NM??? not that u weren't exciting....
chrisweitzThey were veeeeeeery tired, long press tour. I hadn't gone out as late the night before recording...

@DrVivibuff @chrisweitz SO in every Twilight movie the thing that everyone has got wrong is that they really can't fight Edward.. if you follow the book he is always able to hear what their next move is gonna be so they never get near him.. but in the 3 movies threes a fight with Edward and people almost killing him... were u aware of that stuff while filming and just changed it cause it works better that way for the movies?
chrisweitzYes. "action sequences" for the boys.

@FC_RTPattinson @chrisweitz WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ROBERT PATTINSON?
chrisweitz
HE WAS QUIETER THAN THIS (Kate:{giggle})

@chrisweitzfan @chrisweitz Okay. No lying. Who's better looking up close. Rob or Taylor?
chrisweitz On the molecular level they are almost identical. Love the avatar.

@MsChopsy @chrisweitz Does it haunt u when peeps pick up on things like Edward's eyes being the wrong colour in Voltura or can u let it go and move on
chrisweitz I think of Mandela's 21 years in jail and move on

@RobMozDean @chrisweitz won't respond to my Rob, Morrissey & James Dean question :( ~heaven knows I'm miserable now~
chrisweitzWhat unites them is a quiff. Never met Mr.Dean. met Mr. Morrissey and ADORE him.

There you go.
And just in case there's anyone that may have missed this vid when it was originally out I thought I'd pop it up :-)

Chris Weitz Finds Out About Robert Pattinson & "Mipplegate"

Our favourite Twitterer (and all round good guy) Chris Weitz was tweeting again today about Robert Pattinson and Twilight.

Have we said how much we love this guy?
Seriously, Rob watch out, he's fast becoming a big favourite of ours.

Here's what he spoke about today

@Larissasegalla @chrisweitz how important was twilight in your career? how important was twilight in your career?
chrisweitz VERY important. I met some lovely people and got to work with them, and it gave me many opportunities to do more films.

@cathypodd @chrisweitz I hope you didn't listen to any of the reviews for New Moon. The fandom loved it, we count, not them ;)
chrisweitz I did listen! You can't help it. It's ok, I picked myself up

@depechemama Ok, @chrisweitz I'll let nipplegate pass for now.;) What scene did you film for New Moon that you wanted in, but it ended on the cr floor?
chrisweitz Good lord, what is nipplegate? Sounds exciting.

Kate: What's nipplegate?? Seriously Chris! You don't know what nipplegate is??
Well we couldn't let this pass without tweeting Chris our mipplegate post



@chrisweitz Nipplegate: http://tinyurl.com/ylscdna and we have too much time on our hands ;)
chrisweitz Oh. I rather liked Rob's nipples in that scene. (Kate: SO do we Chris, so do we)

@Small_4 @chrisweitz Has anything changed in your life after you drove New Moon? Answer me, please!!!!!
chrisweitz Golly yes! No one would give a shit what I had to say on twitter if I hadn;t, for one! (Kate: Aaah that's not true)

@Small_4 @chrisweitz You still in contact with the cast of the Twilight Saga? Please answer! Please!
chrisweitz Yes, in my mind. In fact, yes, many of them, they are kool

@Beck79 @chrisweitz You need to do a film with Grant, Firth, Holt and Pattinson pls. Set in the UK!
chrisweitz I like this. Hmm. Could it have zombies? And monkeys?

@emilytaylor_3 @chrisweitz is robert pattinson really as hot in real person ?
chrisweitz He's actually physically repugnant. It's something about the camera. Weird. (Kate: Really? Not buying it somehow!)

@RobsessedBex @chrisweitz did you ever touch Rob's hair?
chrisweitz Did I ever NOT touch his hair? He told me to stop but I wouldn't.(Kate:Giggle) Why do you think I didn't direct Eclipse?

Tink had to tell Chris a Rob fact because you know how we Robsessed get about Rob facts!
@tinkrbe1l3 @chrisweitz Fact: Rob said he loves hobnobs so those are better automatically ;)
chrisweitz Rob and I will talk.

And I asked him a totally non-related Rob question but was so happy that he answered it :-)
@EmeraldKate @chrisweitz What's your favourite music to listen to ATM?
chrisweitz The new Radiohead, "Nostrand" by Ratatat, Bach

And that's the Chris tweets for now. I'm pretty sure he's in Twitterjail for talking too much.
Don't forget to go and follow him on twitter you won't be sorry!

Here are some that he answered today:

@effie10 @chrisweitz 1Why weren't Edward's eyes black in Volterra?2Why didn't he break anything after the vote?3Why was the after-party drive deleted
chrisweitz 1) I goofed, 2) ditto, 3) Only so much time in the movie!!!

@JodieO @chrisweitz Only so much time? You had plenty of time for Jacob, though, didn'tcha?! (Kate: I'm sorry this gave me a fit of giggles)
chrisweitz Well, Jacob is imperfect, like me. Except I am not super hot.
(Kate: That's a matter of opinion Chris ;-))

@maricheq @Chrisweitz team edward or team jacob?
Chrisweitz Please... I don't want to get in trouble

@TwiFans @chrisweitz do you feel slightly bad for selling out on the "silver" volvo? Would you change that if you could?
(Kate: This was a big pet peeve of Goz's, she hated that they changed from silver to black but she forgave Chris !)
chrisweitz Not when I drive my bitchin' BLACK VOLVO! Just kidding, I drive a Honda accord.

@renesemma @chrisweitz are they really an item? robsten?
chrisweitz An item like a glass or a lamp? Certainly not. ;)

@Twihardfj65 "@renesemma: @chrisweitz are they really an item? robsten?"WELL???:))
