AP talks to Bill Condon

One person who’s not sweating over the poor reviews of the first three
“Twilight” movies is the guy directing the final two. Bill Condon has gotten used to critical acclaim with his own last three films, “Dreamgirls,” ”Kinsey” and “Gods and Monsters.” He’s virtually guaranteed a colossal commercial success with parts one and two of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn,” the final installments of the supernatural saga due out this November and next year. But if “Breaking Dawn” follows the pattern of the previous “Twilight” tales, he may find critics a tough crowd to please. “I don’t think you can ever anticipate that,” Condon said in an interview at the Comic-Con fan convention in San Diego, where he and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner previewed two scenes of “Breaking Dawn — Part 1″ for eager viewers. “I was turned on by the story and then by the script, and I have to say for me, I started out in horror movies, and I’ve been looking for a way to make another horror movie. And horror movies don’t tend to get the greatest reviews. Some of them do, classics, but a lot of them don’t. So I think that comes with
the territory.”
