It seems that Summit Entertainment's rumored list of director candidates for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn was true. Variety is reporting the studio is circling in on one of them in particular, with the trade saying the producers are closing in on helmer Bill Condon (Dream Girls) to helm the last story of the franchise, which will broken into two films much like Warner Bros. Pictures is doing with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Condon is in negotiations to direct "Breaking Dawn" -- the final tome in author Stephenie Meyer's four-book vampire series. The deal is expected to close quickly, with no major sticking points between the two sides.
Catherine Hardwicke helmed the first pic, while Chris Weitz directed the second, "New Moon." David Slade was behind the camera for the third, the upcoming "Eclipse." Though Summit has been fickle with its directors, the company has stuck with scribe Melissa Rosenberg to adapt each installment.
Production on "Dawn" has been rumored to begin as early as this fall.
Good. The sooner these get made the sooner we can move on.
