Los Angeles, CA April 28, 2010 – Summit Entertainment has confirmed that Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg, and will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and Stephenie Meyer will produce the project.
“Bringing Stephenie Meyer’s BREAKING DAWN to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity,” said Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment.
Added author Stephenie Meyer, “I’m so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he’s going to be a great fit, and I’m excited to see what he does with the material.”
“I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we’re hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,” said Bill Condon.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.
Condon is well known for writing and directing DREAMGIRLS, KINSEY, and GODS AND MONSTERS, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1999. He was nominated for a second Oscar for his screenplay for the movie musical CHICAGO in 2003. Most recently the multi-hyphenate directed the pilot episode for the Showtime series “The Big C” and produced the 81st Annual Academy Awards telecast, hosted by Hugh Jackman.
I'm excited, but i thought it was going to be two movies, not one!
Woohoo! This is huge!! Congrats to Summit for landing such a prominent director. I know his past work seems a little out-of-sorts w/ what BD is all about, but I think his creative talent is gonna blow us all away.
this should be interesting lol. so if breaking dawn is 2 movies, will they have the same director for both? or will they select another director for the second part? cant wait for more info!!!
I bet they'll use Condon for both. They've gotta keep some sort of consistency between the 2 films – otherwise it won't look right.
-facepalm.
he better not pull his failed Dreamgirls directing on this. D:
more like Bill Condom.
k how are they gonna make renessme grow, cuz she grows REALY FAST
ok, i love ALL the twilight books/movies. The movies themselves are awesome. great direction, photography, acting. HOWEVER, the dialogue!!! kills me everytime. Screenplay, i feel, is overly "Twilight." In the books, sentences and phrases are written to be extremely mushy and cheesey BECAUSE its a book and one has to use one's imagination. In the movie, Robert P. could simply use his beautiful jaw line to smile or smirk and make us go weak in the kness. Does anyone get what Im trying to say???
does summitt think that by getting mr. condon that somehow BD will be an award winner? hardley doubt that ! as long as MR has messed up the first two I'm sure eclipse will be "ok" and BD will really suck unless they follow the book more closely as they have 2 movies to do that—come on stephenie! get in there and have some say because it sure seems like you have had no input or you just "sold out" !!!

I actually had to read it again to completely understand it. Your viewpoint on the topic is very outright and convincing.
F*ckin’ amazing things here. I am very glad to look your article. Thanks a lot and i’m looking ahead to touch you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
I was thinking the same thing. About it being over after this =( I heard they're gonna start filming this Fall (August I think?)… not sure if that's true, but it definitely would make sense.
