Summit Entertainment’s two-movies-from-one-book finale of the Twilight saga, inspired by the Stephanie Meyer book series, Breaking Dawn, finally has a director: Bill Condon.

A quick credit report on Condon reveals he was the director behind Dreamgirls, Kinsey, Gods and Monsters, and even scripted the movie version of Chicago. So he’s directed a lot of well-received movies but has no genre direction credits to speak of.

Still, he’s a big name and that counts for something; in fact, he’s probably the most established and decorated director to take on the teen angst vampire series to day. And considering the decidedly adult content of Breaking Dawn, it might be just the sort of director-to-material match the series needed at this point. Time will tell how well his treatment of the material is received.
