Both parts of “Breaking Dawn” will be directed by Bill Condon.
Who’s excited? We know we are, because that just means more Taylor Lautner!

I hate this. I’m very sorry to all of those twilight fans, but I do. Twilight is trying so hard to push Harry Potter back. First they push back the releases of HP 5 and 6 for twlight and new moon, now they are making their last movie into two parts, because they can’t leave anything out. This is just like Harry Potter. I’m sorry but I just don’t agree with this.
@Samantha – why would the WB move a multi-billion dollar franchise for an unreleased, unestablished movie franchise (Twilight)and an unestablished movie company (Summit)? The WB has no vested interest in either of those two. HP5 was released July 2007 around the same time the final book came out, and HP6 was moved because of the writer’s strike hindering quality scripts for summer 2009 and because the WB made more than enough money from The Dark Knight to justify the move. The WB was covering their financial gain for the following year while Summit had a lot riding on the release of Twilight. And besides, the weekend before the US Thanksgiving is typically pretty profitable, so why wouldn’t Summit jump at the chance to potentially earn more money since their competition moved a few months a head?
As for making BD two movies – it’s just a cash grab by Summit to make more money because they think people will see two movies. Honestly, with Summit wanting to keep the movies like 2h long, it’s the one of the only reasons to make two movies when they could push three hours and trim a lot of the Jacob book from the movie.
