Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart - Twilight Breaking Dawn director confirmed as Bill Condon

Twilight Breaking Dawn has finally found a director, and the man taking up the challenge is Dreamgirls' Bill Condon.

Following months of speculation, where rumours flew that Sofia Coppola and Gus Van Sant were among names in the running, Summit Entertainment has finally confirmed that it will be Condon in the hot seat to lead Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the fourth and final chapter of the Twilight Saga.

Commenting via a statement, the Oscar-nominated director said: 'I'm very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life onscreen. 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.'

Also excited by the news was Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, who posted on her website: '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.'

Now that Condon is on board, it is excepted that Summit will soon confirm whether Breaking Dawn - which is over 700 pages long - will be split into two separate movies.

In what can only mean prolonging the Twilight hype - we think it would be an excellent decision...!

I am so looking forward to Eclipse and now Breaking Dawn. I think they may have to separate it it into 2 films, but that just adds to the anticipation. Great news
My wish also would be that Stephanie Meyer will publish Midnight Sun. Although there has been a leak, I would prefer to wait for the real deal and am sure most other Twiglight fans feel the same, so come on Steph, go with it!!

I loved Breaking Dawn! I loved that a vampire love story actually ended the way I wanted it to (I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it). But I was disappointed with the films, especially Twilight. I read all of the books first and they are more intense and more grown up than the films so I had high expectations and was very disappointed that it had been turned into a 'tween' film.
