Bill Condon, director of the latest two-part installment of the vampire love story, has been outspoken recently about how pleased he is with the work of the young stars of Twilight.
Speaking by phone to Nicole Sperling of blog 24 Frames, said that filming the two-parter has been the “end of an era”, and that he is thrilled with the performances of Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan), Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) and Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black).
Condon also told The Times of how much he has enjoyed directing the movies. “I had started in horror and genre movies and had been looking for a way to do another one,” he said. “I love vampires and I liked this series and I thought the stories were amazing. It seemed exciting to me cinematically. It was something I was really excited to get back in touch with.” Condon’s previous work includes Dreamgirls and Candyman II: Farewell to the Flesh.
At present, Twilight: Breaking Dawn is being filmed in Vancouver, Canada and New Orleans. Part One is chalked for release on November 18th 2011. The saga finale, Part Two, will follow in November 2012.
