March 16, 2010 - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn / Gus van Sant, Sofia Coppola, Bill Condon approached to direct
Scooped on Tuesday, March 16, 2010
Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Summit has approached at least three directors to gauge their interest in directing Breaking Dawn. The trio of filmmakers are Gus van Sant (Milk), Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation) and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls). Van Sant's camp confirmed that they've received communication from the movie studio while the other two didn't confirm or deny the rumor.
What's revealing in EW's scoop is the different calibre of director that Summit is thinking of to make Breaking Dawn for them. All three candidates are known for their dramatic projects, some of which have earned Oscar nominations for Best Picture. It's a different pedigre of filmmaker than Eclipse's David Slade, known for his vampire horror movie 30 Days of Night, or New Moon's Chris Weitz and The Golden Compass.

For a moment there I read "Showgirls," in which case THAT GUY GETS MY VOTE.
If we're going to have gay sparkly vampires, we might as well have glittering naked women vampires with jazz hands.
