Is Director Bill Condon Summit's choice to direct 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn'?

If Hollywood Insider is indeed correct, along with a few other sources, then we finally know who will be at the helm directing the final segments of 'The Twilight Saga.'  I'm not completely ready to believe this article over any others as we have known for a few weeks now that Summit has been in talks with more than 1 oscar winning director to take the helm for the final segments of our beloved saga!!! 

With that being said, if indeed Hollywood Insider is correct, there is one part I am happy about and that is the part that discusses how the two YES two films will be split! And one part I am extremely unhappy about, Breaking Dawn to film in Vancouver!!!  Read on below!!!!!























'Breaking Dawn': 'Dreamgirls' director Bill Condon is the first choice for the last two 'Twilight' films

Sources confirm that Bill Condon is in negotiations to direct Breaking Dawn, which Summit Entertainment now plans to break into two films. Over the last month, the studio met with a high-caliber group of directors that also included Milk director Gus Van Sant and Mean Girls’ director Mark Waters. Sofia Coppola expressed huge interest in the franchise but dropped out after revealing that she only wanted to direct one of the two films. Condon, Van Sant, and Waters met both with Summit and Twilight author Stephenie Meyer.


If all works as planned, Condon will spend the next year in Vancouver shooting Breaking Dawn. The studio has not yet confirmed the news, nor will they reveal their release plans for the films. In terms of how the movies will be split, sources tell EW.com that the wedding, honeymoon, Bella’s pregnancy, and the birth will all be told in the first movie, while part two will focus on Bella’s transformation into a vampire and Jacob’s relationship with Renesmee Cullen.

Condon’s indie project Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, which was supposed to begin shooting shortly, has now been put on hold. Condon will likely return to the film, from Slumdog Millionaire writer Simon Beaufoy, after he concludes his Twilight work.
