Rob Pattinson tosses out a name into the ring for potential directors of Breaking Dawn. Past experience tells use not to count on anyone until Summit says, of course! At least it seems we can now be sure it will be made.
“I probably shouldn’t say this,” Rob revealed to MTV News over the weekend, acknowledging that the wheels are slowly creeping into motion on “Breaking Dawn” getting made. “But I’ve heard that we’re going to shoot it in Portland.
“I think Gus Van Sant would be great to do it,” RPattz added, naming his dream director.
A double Oscar nominee for “Good Will Hunting” and last year’s “Milk,” Van Sant went to school in Portland, and has called the city home for many years while filming such movies as “Drugstore Cowboy,” “My Own Private Idaho” and the 2005 Kurt Cobain-quasi-biopic “Last Days.”
“He shoots everything in Portland,” reasoned the 23-year-old British heartthrob. “He’s good at making it look beautiful.”
Pattinson, whose long-term plans include starting a production company that would help make the sort of small, indie films that Van Sant has been overseeing for decades, thinks Stephenie Meyer’s fourth novel would be a perfect fit for the “To Die For” director. Overflowing with teenage angst, sex and violence, “Dawn” is the sequel that Twilighters are most eager to see. And, with scenes of Edward giving Bella a vampire cesarean, Jacob selecting the pale vampire-human baby as his soul mate and Bella as a vampire, it also promises to quite possibly be the weirdest.
“It’s all about teenage love and obsessions,” Rob explained. “I think Gus Van Sant would be great.”
Breaking Dawn is so epic and on such a larger scale than the rest, I think it should be broken into two movies and given to someone like Gore Verbinski who has that sort of grand/epic experience. A lot of people have mentioned Chris Weitz coming back, and someone like him who knows the cast and had such a resounding calming affect on everyone might be a good option too. They all seem to adore him and when dealing with some of the extraordinary topics in Breaking Dawn, he would be good for that.
