HitFix has an interview with New Moon director Chris Weitz.
Included in the interview he states his biggest regret in New Moon (Which I totally agree with by the way. I totally hated this scene and laughed in the theater along with everyone else!!!)
Read the whole thing here.
Below is an excerpt:
One of the most entertaining aspects of the new “Twilight Saga: New Moon” DVD and Blu-ray is the audio commentary from director Chris Weitz and his editor Peter Lambert.
During their long and funny conversation, Weitz makes a humbling revelation about one of his few regrets in the movie: the infamous moment where Aro (Michael Sheen) looks into Alice Cullen’s mind (Ashley Greene) and see the future fate of our hero Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart). What was meant as a dramatic reveal that Bella would become a vampire, and thus satisfy Aro’s wishes, drew unintentional laughter as audiences observed Bella and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) seemingly skipping through the forest in slow motion.
Speaking to Weitz earlier this week, the director laughed about the moment and admitted that he discovered the mistake a bit too late.
“I think it could have been less than an Arcadian fairy tale running through the foresty movement and more of an abstract at Kristen flash on her face,” Weitz says of what he would have changed. “That would have avoided laughter, which wasn’t only heard at the premiere where there are cynics and jaded Hollywood types, but the most packed fan screenings.”

yup, that was a pretty stupid scene
yeah it was a big mistake
I really liked it, in breaking dawn when they are racing and Edward is just kinda hanging back and is in awe of her and running with her, so to me this is Alice’s vision Aro is recalling. His happiness at the prospect that it is finally over and she is there with him! That it could have been a little different maybe, but I don’t think that would have held true to the books interpretation of her vision… I personally liked it and it was very brief so it didn’t make or break the movie!
thank you!!! i thought this scene was a beautiful moment between edward and bella and i couldnt be more pleased at the way it came out! team edward always and forever!!!!
i like and i dont like this seen…
that scene was really funny-
i actually expceted to see alice and bella holding hands and looking the same..
