Chris Weitz: New Moon Like a “Victorian Narrative Painting”

MetroNews has a great new interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz. In it, he talks about some of the differences we’ll see in New Moon compared to Twilight, including the visual look of the movie–

Q. You’re a very visual director. What’s your vision for New Moon?

A. We’ve got an amazing visual effects team. The whole idea is to use the full palette of colors, to have our shadows be very dark and to have our colours be very rich so that we can experience the full range of emotional texture. The idea is that this will look like a Victorian narrative painting in a way, with those medieval jewel-like colours as well as very glossy deep blacks, and for the composition of the frames to be classical. In some ways, this is going to be a rather old-fashioned film. There are elements that incorporate the latest technology and there are things that are very dynamic in the action scenes. But it’s more Dr. Zhivago than Iron Man.

Sounds awesome! Read the rest of the interview at MetroNews.
