Bill Condon confirmed to direct Twilight: Breaking Dawn

Via press release:

Summit Entertainment has closed its deal with helmer Bill Condon to close out the “Twilight” saga.

Condon had been in negotiations for several weeks to direct “Breaking Dawn” — the final tome in author Stephenie Meyer’s four-book vampire series. The deal was expected to close quickly, with no major sticking points between the two sides.

Summit made the official announcement Wednesday.

“I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen,” Condon said in a statement. “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.”
