Who is Chris Weitz?

By now you must already know that Catherine Hardwicke was dropped from New Moon and that the Twilight sequel will now be helmed by Chris Weitz. Now what do we know of this director? I googled up this guy and found the following interesting tidbits:

1. He's American but went to Cambridge.
   
2. Although married to one Mercedes Martinez with whom he has a child, he has also dated Heather Graham some years back, and some searches of his name still pull  up Heather's name.
   
3. He co-wrote "Antz" with his brother.
4. He also co-produced/co-directed "American Pie," with the same brother. 
5. If you think his portfolio is interesting (from kiddie film to sex comedy), there's more--he also wrote and directed "The Golden Compass." His IMDb profile says he had bailed out in the middle of filming, but was asked to return after his replacement had creative differences with the film outfit.

I also googled images of Weitz and he's actually pleasant looking for someone pushing 40 (that number again!). So, do you think he could hack what's probably the most awaited movie in girldom?
