Who should direct Breaking Dawn?

Posted on 16. Mar, 2010 by in News

EW is reporting that even though there has been no official announcement that Breaking Dawn is going to be made Summit Entertainment is on the lookout for a director.

Yes, it’s still early days, but Summit is trying to up its pedigree for its big-screen adaptation of the final installment of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. Sources tell EW that the studio has reached out to at least three top-notch directors, including Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation), Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) to gauge their interest in what is likely to be two movies. (Van Sant’s reps confirmed that he’s been approached, but Coppola and Condon’s people didn’t return phone calls by press time. Summit declined to comment.)

No decisions are likely to be made until the studio delivers screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg’s detailed outline to the directors. That should happen sometime next week. Until then we can just wonder how these three very diverse directors will approach Bella’s controversial birthing scene.

The Twilight Lexicon is running a poll about who you’d like to see direct Breaking Dawn. Make sure you stop by and vote.

    Well, I should direct Breaking Dawn, Summit should find fresh “meat” for the last installment of Twilight give the opportunity to a non name artist. That’s all for now.

    Loved ‘Lost in Translation’. Loved ‘Milk’. Cried my eyes out. Sofia and Gus both seem to have strength in working with young actors.

    My intuition says Gus Van Sant.

    Thrilled that they’re looking at these directors.

    I think Summit will pick the right one that fits what they’re looking for. They’ve gotten right so far for the other movies. We’ve seen just a taste of Slade’s work and it looks good.
