Stephenie Meyer Producer for Breaking Dawn

Bill Condon will direct Breaking Dawn.

While the where, how many, when is all still huish hush or undecided there is one other intereting thing we learned this morning.... Stephenie Meyer will be a producer for Breaking Dawn.

Stephenie Meyer is listed as one of the Producers for Breaking Dawn. This would be a great thing in my opinion since she created this world, giving her even more creative control and supervision of the project should ensure it is the best it can be for fans.

However, there is a possible downside to having Stephenie Meyer as producer... She has strictly enforced the rating of the movie to allow her younger fans to be able to enjoy them, fair enough.... We've seen recently that even a PG-13 rating can get hot... but as a friend said last night "Stephenie Meyer is a total cock-block"

It's true... I fear she will not let the steamy love get steamy enough or the intense scenes get intense enough.....so though I am glad she has more control creatively in getting Breaking Dawn right... I hope the other producers and team can push the steaminess on her... Remember Steph, they are married now, they can get hot & steamy on the honeymoon ;)


Here is the press release:

Los Angeles, CA April 28, 2010 – Summit Entertainment has confirmed that Academy Award® winner Bill Condon will direct THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg, and will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and Stephenie Meyer will produce the project.

“Bringing Stephenie Meyer’s BREAKING DAWN to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity,” said Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment.

Added author Stephenie Meyer, “I’m so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he’s going to be a great fit, and I’m excited to see what he does with the material.”

“I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we’re hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,” said Bill Condon.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

Condon is well known for writing and directing DREAMGIRLS, KINSEY, and GODS AND MONSTERS, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1999. He was nominated for a second Oscar for his screenplay for the movie musical CHICAGO in 2003. Most recently the multi-hyphenate directed the pilot episode for the Showtime series “The Big C” and produced the 81st Annual Academy Awards telecast, hosted by Hugh Jackman.

The third film in the franchise, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is due in theaters on June 30, 2010.

Bill Condon WILL direct Breaking Dawn.

Hit Fix reports:

As reported earlier, Summit Entertainment has found its next "Twilight" filmmaker and now formally locked up Oscar-winner Bill Condon to direct "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn." While none of the stars have signed deals yet, the entire cast including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are expected to return. This is possibly one reason the studio has not confirmed whether, as rumored, there will be one or two "Breaking Dawn" films.

“I'm very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book - and we're hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience," said Bill Condon.

The fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's popular series chronicles Bella's most advanced initiation into the vampire world to date, but is also seen by many as the most difficult to adapt of all the best-selling novels. Melissa Rosenberg, who adapted the first two novels, would continue in that role for "Dawn." Stephenie Meyer has already met with Condon to discuss the project. She noted in the release, "I'm so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he's going to be a great fit, and I'm excited to see what he does with the material."

Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment added, "Bringing Stephenie Meyer's BREAKING DAWN to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity."

Condon is best known for directing and adapting the box office and critical hit "Dreamgirls" which was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won two including Best Supporting Actress for star Jennifer Hudson. The film also won the Golden Globe for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy and grossed $103 million at the U.S. box office. The filmmaker won his own Oscar in 1998 for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Gods and Monsters." He was subsequently nominated again in the same category for "Chicago." Condon also received a prestigious Director's Guild of America Best Director nod for "Dreamgirls." More impressive, besides Hudson's breakthrough, he's shepherded Oscar nominations for Ian McKellen ("Gods and Monsters"), Lynn Redgrave ("Gods and Monsters") and Laura Linney ("Kinsey"). And for those concerned about Condon's genre credentials, he's more than happy to discuss directing 1995's "Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh" to anyone who will ask. Most recently, Condon teamed up with producer Larry Mark to produce the 81st Academy Awards with host Hugh Jackman. That show received strong critical notices and was nominated for more Emmy Awards than any Oscar broadcast in history.

Production is expected to begin early this fall.

Mandy's Mind - Is this really news? We all knew he had been a front-runner for a while and some buzz was he had signed a bit ago but they were waiting to announce it. The timing is SOOO interesting too - it ALMOST shadows over the Eclipse re-shoots eh? ALMOST!! ;)

I've not seen Dreamgirls - I will... I don't really know what he's done that would make me excited to have him, but I really believe with Stephenie Meyer as a producer, we have very little to fear with Breaking Dawn creatively.... what we do have to fear is her not letting it get too steamy or graphic. We've seen recently that even a PG-13 rating can get hot... but as a friend said last night "Stephenie Meyer is a total cock-block" and it's true... so though I am glad she has more control creatively in getting Breaking Dawn right... I hope they push the steaminess on her... Remember Steph, they are married now, they can get hot & steamy on the honeymoon ;)

Robert Pattinson leaves Heathrow Airport for Vancouver.

Robert Pattinson leaves Heathrow Airport for Vancouver.

RPL posted:

Robert Pattinson looked gorgeous and scruffy as he arrived at Heathrow Airport this afternoon in his cap, sunnies and jeans. He had his guitar case for company, but will no doubt be reunited with Kristen Stewart and the rest of the Twilight gang as the cast gather in Vancouver for Eclipse reshoots. We've already seen Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner make their way from LAX to Canada so it was only a matter of time until rich Robert joined them.
