'Breaking Dawn' by Stephenie Meyer - Hatchette Books
One of these days, talk about who will direct The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will subside. Of course, that'll only happen when an official production company statement from Summit Entertainment comes down the pike, so until then, the guessing game continues.
This time, the news is from Deadline Hollywood, which reports that Oscar-winning Dreamgirls, Kinsey, and Gods And Monsters director Bill Condon is the number one choice for the post.
"Summit Entertainment hasn’t signed him, but I’m told that after several strong meetings, they are negotiating," Deadline's Mike Fleming reports.
Fleming goes on to say that, as most Twilight fans by now predict, the film "will begin [shooting] in the fall, and I heard the plan is to shoot two films back to back."
Again, the smartest trend is to assume nothing is official until it is official, but it's certainly interesting to hear this sort of industry buzz on the matter.
So, if Sofia Coppola, Gus Van Sant, and Stephen Daldry are bested in the running by Bill Condon, would you be pleased?
Are you familiar with his work, and, if so, do you think Bill Condon would be a good fit for Breaking Dawn? Comment below and let us know!

I love Sofia Coppola! I named my daughter after her..but he seems accomplished so I'm sure it will be great!
I thought I read he was doing another movie this fall?
IMDb.com shows him directing a TV series called "The Big C" starring Gabourey Sidibe, and another movie in 2011, but nothing showing on IMDb in 2010... so it could be possible. I really enjoyed "Dreamgirls." I am excited to see who they pick. I'm just ready for the rumors to stop being rumors and start being true!!!
Never heard of the guy before. Gus Van Sant would be my choice.
I think Sofia Coppola would do a better job at directing Breaking Dawn, this is the book where Edward & Bella get married and the love scene...coming from a woman it will be much better I thought she did such a good job in Virgins Suicide
