According to the ever reliable Gossip Cop, my hope that the Weitzmeister would be back for 'Breaking Dawn' is not going to happen:For months on end there has been speculation about “Breaking Dawn,” and who would direct the final chapter of the saga.
Gossip Cop has received official confirmation from Chris Weitz’s rep that he will not be directing the film(s).
Fans had hoped for some time Weitz, who directed “New Moon” (and “The Golden Compass” and “About A Boy” before that), would helm “Breaking Dawn,” but it’s a no go.
Weitz is next slated to direct a personal project about an undocumented Mexican laborer that he himself is partially funding. That film begins next month.
So loved was Weitz there was even a rumor – albeit false – that stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner had written a joint endorsement, urging Summit Entertainment to lock down the director for the final installment.
Ultimately, it was Weitz’s decision.
As Gossip Cop reported last month, though officially no decision has been made about whether to split “Breaking Dawn” into two films, a well-place source said dividing the final book into two movies is “the direction that it’s going in.”
We’re also told Summit is currently looking at top-tier directors to helm the final “Twilight” film(s).
