Trivia

Son of Susan Kohner.

Nephew of producer Pancho Kohner.

Graduated from Cambridge University, where he was a classmate of Rachel Weisz.

Started reading The Golden Compass (2007) while he was filming About a Boy (2002).

Before he was going to direct The Golden Compass (2007), he was invited by director Peter Jackson to visit the set of King Kong (2005) in order to gain insight into directing a big-budget film.

In 2007 he and his brother, Paul Weitz, met with Michael Moorcock the writer of the Elric of Melnibone books, to talk about a movie adaptation. Chris had been a fan of the books since childhood, and Moorcock trusted him with the project.

Got the directing job of New Moon (2009) after Catherine Hardwicke backed out.

Originally offered Brad Pitt the lead in About a Boy (2002) but he turned it down. However, they later worked together on Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005).

Lived by the sea when he was a kid. That's the reason why he didn't like the movie Jaws (1975).
