You already know that Weitz is scheduled to direct The Gardener sometime this year.
According to Fused Film,
A few weeks ago we posted that Universal was keen on making an American Pie 4 nd bring back some of the original characters from the series. What better way to do that than in a “Reunion” . . . Chris Weitz, who co-directed the original film with brother Paul, spoke with MovieWeb about all of this “I know that Universal wants to do it. We want to be involved in it. Because of the affection we hold for the story and the characters. We want to get as many former cast members back as possible. Its funny, but look at someone like John Cho. He had a very small part in all three films. Now he is a big deal.”
While Weitz did help his brother Paul Weitz with directing American Pie, the first of the three films in the series, his main position served was as a producer or executive producer for the films (note that American Pie 2 was directed by J.B. Rogers and American Wedding was directed by Jesse Dylan).
In addition to American Pie 4, Chris Weitz is also slated to produce several other films, including The Game.
