EXCLUSIVE: Add this name to the orodha of high-end auteurs who are being considered for the director's chair on "Breaking Dawn:" Stephen Daldry. Yep, that Stephen Daldry, the man who directed such Oscar fare as "Billy Elliot," "The Reader" and "The Hours."
Daldry joins a orodha that includes Sofia Coppola, Bill Condon and Gus van Sant, all of whom have been approached about taking on the fourth film in the "Twilight" franchise. Like those three, there are not yet indications Daldry would actually take the gig, but the fact that Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the films, has reached out to him suggests where its intentions lie for the fourth film.
kwa this point nothing should surprise us about the names Summit is considering. (Well, James Cameron would surprise us. But he's pretty much the only one.) The fourth book contains zaidi complicated material as the story opens up (warning: spoiler alert), with part of the novel written from werewolf Jacob's perspective and Kristen Stewart's Bella swan carrying a child.
Having already gone indie with Catherine Hardwicke, polished/commercial with Chris Weitz and genre auteur with David Slade for the franchise's first three movies, Summit clearly wants a high-end Oscar- prestige filmmaker to handle the fourth picture.
Still, even kwa those standards, Daldry stands out. He's been nominated for three Oscars, zaidi than any of the other directors on the short list. In fact, Daldry is the rare filmmaker who's been nominated for a best directing Oscar for every feature he's made.
Those credentials make taking on a global teen phenomenon seem unlikely, though there are reasons to think it could work. The director is well-versed in depicting forbidden upendo (a "Twilight" staple) with "The Reader" and "The Hours." And he's adept at themes of family alienation, also a franchise fixture, which ran under "Billy Elliot." Also, like most of the others, Daldry doesn't yet have a new film.
The fourth "Twilight" movie -- which will likely take only a piece of "Breaking Dawn" as the film is mgawanyiko, baidisha into two -- will in all likelihood be shot in the fall. That gives Summit a little zaidi time to comb through high-end directors. Academy Award winners, take note: Wanyonya damu and mtu-bweha are coming for you. -- Steven Zeitchik

Rob talks to the Daily Record about everything from his Bel Ami shoot ( when wewe read the makala wewe just know that the Uma Thurman quote is destined to be requoted and rehashed out-of-context for the inayofuata year), to his loss of privacy, to Breaking Dawn.
“He is also set to nyota in the final Twlight film based on the vitabu Breaking Dawn, which may be broken into two films, due to the number of books.
He admits to mixed emotions about the end of the saga.
He said: “”It will be strange but it will be great just to be able to know what I’m doing. Not knowing when Breaking Dawn is going to shoot – because it changes all the time – is a kind of burden, to have this thing where wewe don’t know when it’s going to happen.
“So you’ve got to organise everything in your life around that and that can be difficult.”
