Exclusive: Summit looking at Academy Award-nominated directors for 'Breaking Dawn'
by Nicole Sperling
MAR 16 2010 08:25 AM ET

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.

those are some big academy award nominated names and rob had previously said his choice would be gus van sant, but as much as i love the series...WHY would any of these directors want to have anything to do with breaking dawn? what do you think?

The Twilight Sage: Breaking Dawn Part I Casting and Auditions Information

August 3, 2009

Summit Entertainment has acquired the rights for Stephenie Meyer to film and distribute Breaking Dawn, the forth novel in her series. Breaking Dawn is in the early pre-production stages. There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the novel due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating.

sources say that Breaking Dawn will be filmed and released in a new trilogy - "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I", "Part II" and "Part III". This has not been confirmed officially by Summit, however author Stephenie Meyer has stated "it would have to be made into multiple movies because it's hard to imagine it fitting into ninety minutes".

David Slade is directing Eclipse, but it is unknown if he will also direct any of the Breaking Dawn films. "Breaking Dawn: Part I" should start shotting in early 2010, with a release scheduled for 2011.

many of us don't even want breaking dawn to be made into a movie and now there might be THREE!??!?! wtf?!?!?! let's hope this isnt true... read more...

yeayan yeanolds

any excuse to post ryan reynolds! from the twilight examiner:

Jolly, olive-skinned, and observant, Garrett's character is [*spoiler*] a sort of speech-giving savior to the Cullens in Breaking Dawn with the Renesmee situation. Standing up to the Volturi, this somewhat messy wanderer has to use his words to save the day.

With Reynolds, we all know that he is a fast-talking, speech-wielding know-it-all type in most of his films, but he can also pull of some rather intense scenes as well.

yeayan, u can join the facebook group here but i think after viewing this video below, we should consider starting a group to have a rob & ryan romance

Renesmee really?!

"Breaking Dawn" has reportedly gotten the green light by Summit Entertainment, as the fourth movie in the "Twilight" saga, according to TheWrap.com, although a rep for Summit Entertainment, the film's producer, told MTV News late Monday afternoon that the report is untrue.

TheWrap.com reports that a source close to the film's production said that "Breaking Dawn" will start shooting in the spring of 2010.

"Breaking Dawn" would follow production of the third "Twilight" film, "Eclipse," which Drew Barrymore recently revealed she won't be directing. Chris Weitz replaced Catherine Hardwicke on "New Moon," and it is widely believed that Juan Antonio Bayona will tackle "Eclipse," although a director has yet to be confirmed by Summit.

The anonymous Summit executive who spoke to The Wrap said that there was no production schedule for "Breaking Dawn" yet and no current plans to shoot in Vancouver, but the stars of the film will reportedly get some time off after finishing "New Moon" before they begin work on "Eclipse."

"Twilight" was released last November and was an instant smash at the box office. Because of the first film's success, "New Moon" was green-lit and will be released on November 20, 2009, and "Eclipse" should be in theaters in June 2010. "Breaking Dawn" would hit the release docket later that year.

Just last week, the rest of the "New Moon" cast was revealed, including "Twilight" newcomers Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen as members of the "legendary Volturi, a venerable coven of vampires who weigh and impose the laws of the vampire world." read more...
