A Director Found for New Moon
Over the weekend, Summit Entertainment announced that Chris Weitz (About a Boy, The Golden Compass) will be directing New Moon.
The sequel is set to begin filming next year, and is expected to reach theatres in 2010.
In New Moon, Edward breaks off his romance with Bella. Devastated, she turns to the werewolf, Jacob Black, for comfort.
Many actors will be returning to their roles for the film, including Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Weitz also produced A Single Man, starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, which will be released next year.
