Chris Weitz not up to the challenge
Quote of the moment: The forces surrounding the film adaption of Philip Pullman's trilogy His Dark Materials have claimed another casualty. After last month's quiet dismissal of Tom Stoppard from the Hollywood project, its director, Chris Weitz, has resigned. The About A Boy director said: "The technical challenges... are more than I can undertake at this point." Perhaps after having been removed from the script, God intervened.

Score! Hahaha... He got owned, no? :D
Amusing Trivia from IMDB: Chris Weitz was the male voice in the porn film which Jim is trying to watch at the start of American Pie.

About A Boy was a bit shit, so maybe it's probs a good thing that that guy has fagged off. It was crap compared to the book anyway, so maybe now they can find someone who can make the film as good as (or better?!?!) than the books.

WHAT??? NO WAY!!! OMG. HOW COMES??:( I thought he was alright. I mean, he seemed really determined. I thought "About a Boy" was alright... [sigh]
Are they still making the film then? With a even shittier director??
Pffffft...
Cmon, he has a track record in American Pie films!
Peter Jackson plz :P
I suppose someone like Ridley Scott would do...
Alfonso Cuarón might do in a pinch, perhaps :P
Tarantino
Hmmm... Ridely Scott and Peter Jackson. They might have done a good job with the films they did, but doesn't mean they're gonna do a good job with HDM... Damnit. I wish they'd just hurry up and make it:@
Joel Schumacher?
Hmmm... Imagine the Taratino version...
