Yesterday, talk about the possibility of The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz taking on a producer role in American Pie 4 came about, but the possibility that Weitz could still helm The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn lingered on.
That is, until the Gossip Cop confirmed that Chris Weitz will not be coming back for the movie.
"Gossip Cop has received official confirmation from Chris Weitz’s rep that he will not be directing the film(s)."
GC points out that the decision remained with Weitz on this issue.
"Ultimately, it was Weitz’s decision . . . We’re also told Summit is currently looking at top-tier directors to helm the final “Twilight” film(s)."
So, despite the vested fan interest in seeing Chris Weitz reprise his spot behind the Breaking Dawn camera, it appears that he will not.
