Summit Entertainment has released a press release confirming what we’ve been hearing for awhile now: Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Kinsey, Gods and Monsters) will be directing The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

It is unfortunate to see Condon backtrack to his schlocky B movie roots.
Possibly. However, I'd rather not see Burwell return, because his work in the film was overshadowed by the lyrical pop songs that they feel the need to play at least ten times throughout each film. Plus, the Twilight films lack any consistent theme musically, so why bring Burwell back when these movies are a black hole as far as talent is considered, even for the decent contributors?
So let's see. Musically, we have Carter Burwell with the first film. Alexandre Desplat with the second film. Howard Shore taking on the third film. And now judging from the fact that Bill Condon has worked with Carter Burwell on both “Gods and Monsters” and “Kinsey,” I assume it's safe to say that Carter Burwell will be making a return for installment #4? Or rather installments #4 and 5?
ok douglas, you get my laugh out loud comment award for the day bud…you made me spit my drink acrss the room! i can only imagine the film we'd get! ahahahahahahaha for me, that would instantly make BD my most anticipated film. thats funny shit!
Summit missed out. I would have LOVED to have seen WERNER HERZOG go bat shit crazy with the material.
I don't even know why they're trying to hire Oscar-winning individuals for Eclipse (Howard Shore) and now Breaking Dawn, because the material itself is not Oscar-worthy and wastes the talent of these fine men. At least Hardwicke seemed to acknowledge the ridiculousness of the concepts, whereas New Moon soldiered on with a self-seriousness that was hilarious. I guess that will continue with Eclipse and BD.
This has been said before but how strange for a film series produced back-to-back to deliberately have different directors. All of the LOTR were directed by Jackson. Even Harry Potter had some consistency with Chris Columbus and now, David Yates.
It's not like the books had four different authors. Such a strange experiment…
However, he did direct Kinsey, so at least the sex scenes between Edward and Bella should be…interesting. Will he keep the flying feathers?
Such a shame. Bill Condon is a fantastic director, and being reduced to directing one of the worst books in a series of fan fiction isn't exactly the best way to continue a career with artistic integrity.
Impressive post! THANK YOU!
