So who’s directing Twilight: Breaking Dawn?
Simon Brew
Who’s going to be calling the shots for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on the final Twilight movies?
Published on Mar 17, 2010
Whether you're a fan of the Harry Potter franchise or not, you'd still have to concede that the films really improved once Warner Bros started taking a few gambles with its directors. After the first two workmanlike movies at the hands of Chris Columbus, the appointment of Alfonso Cuaron for Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban can surely be classed as something of a masterstroke.
Is Summit Entertainment now having similar thoughts with its Twilight franchise, though, we wonder? To be fair, the Twilight movies have attracted directors who, in some cases, you wouldn't necessarily have placed immediately with the material. Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz and David Slade have been the names calling the shots on the films to date, but it looks as if Summit Entertainment may have its sights set - with no disrespect intended to those concerned (not least because we loved Hardwicke's Thirteen) - a little higher in terms of the Hollywood grapevine.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Summit has been trying to attract three particular directors to helm the final two films that Twilight: Breaking Dawn is being broken down into. And those names? Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk, lots of other cool stuff), Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, and the wonderful Gods And Monsters) and Sofia Coppola (Lost In Translation).
It's early days, granted, and Entertainment Weekly notes that scriptwriter Melissa Rosenberg will be delivering an outline to potential directors in the next week or two. Our gut feeling, if they want to reach out to a new audience, is to let someone like Tarantino do it. But perhaps that's why we don't run Summit Entertainment.
We'll keep you posted, but in the meantime, here's the Entertainment Weekly piece.
