After the boffo box office debut of New Moon over the weekend director Chris Weitz has announced that he will helm"The Gardener" for Summit Entertainment reports Variety.
Eric Eason's script follows a hard-working Mexican gardener who lives in Los Angeles and his efforts to protect his son. Filming kicks off in March or April.
Weitz also says talk of his retirment from filmmaking was overblown saying the quote was lifted from an interview he did after "The Golden Compass" on which he got a rough treatment from the Summit suits.
He says he's been reinvigorated by the work on "Moon".
Anyone's career would reinvigorated... You would think twice about quitting your job if your work made a bazillion bucks as well.
