Weitz to quit Hollywood
- 19 Nov 2009
The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz will retire from Hollywood after just one more movie. Weitz, who also made About A Boy and The Golden Compass, admits he has been put off filmmaking by the bureaucracy of big movie studios and he'd rather spend his time relaxing and learning new skills. He tells MovieMaker magazine, "Every time I make a movie I'm pretty much convinced it's the last time I'm going to be able to do it and that really it's a rather silly occupation to undertake....

The Golden Compass
- 03 Dec 2007
"I wish I had a daemon," my son said to me, after we finished chapter five. I said I knew how he felt; it's hard to imagine anyone reading Philip Pullman's "The Northern Lights" and not wanting one. In case you haven't read it (or "The Golden Compass", as it's known in the US), everyone in this alternate universe has a daemon, an animal companion a bit like Pinocchio's Jiminy Cricket; but a daemon isn't your conscience, exactly, more like your soul. And children's daemons are the coolest,... Read more
