Three high-brow filmmakers have emerged as potential candidates to direct "Breaking Dawn," the fourth and final book in Stephenie Meyer’s "Twilight" series, according to EW’s Hollywood Insider.
Summit has approached Gus Van Sant, Sofia Coppola and Bill Condon the blockbuster vampire franchise, EW said. Only Van Sant has confirmed that he’s been approached, although Kristen Stewart seemed to confirm the other offers to MTV News.
"Breaking Dawn" will likely be split into two movies, either because it makes narrative sense, or because Summit can earn twice as much profit that way. Melissa Rosenberg is currently working on a detailed outline — but don’t expect any of these directors to officially come onboard until they see a script, especially Coppola, because as The Playlist points out, she’s pregnant and currently laboring to finish her new movie "Somewhere."
