Chris Weitz Knows What We Want (Beefcake peddling..tee hee)

I love this man more and more everyday...here is another reason why:

Exactly. You always hear about the male gaze in films, but this seems to have such a strong female gaze. One of the prerequisites is how many times Pattinson and Lautner take off their shirts.

It's there in the script, and that's one for the ladies, really. Women have been objectified plenty in Hollywood films. (AMEN CHRIS!!) And there's still sort of a chasteness to the objectification in Twilight and New Moon. One approaches it hopefully with a bit of tact—not just an exercise in beefcake peddling. You hope when you're shooting any kind of above-the-waist nudity that it suits the demand of the moment, it isn't just in there for the hell of it. (We would still love it if it was Chris!) That being said, I think we did come to Comic-Con with a lot of muscles and it was really fun to see the reaction to it. I've tried to make films that take into account the female members of the audience. Even American Pie, which comes from a genre that is notoriously misogynist.

Bring on the Beefcake Chris!!!!

That was a tiny excerpt from his interview with Boxoffice which you can read in its entirety here. It really is a good interview!

p.s. just to clear up any confusion...the red text is me talking! :)
