Dreamgirls director Bill Condon will helm the fourth film in the Twilight Saga franchise, "Breaking Dawn".
Bill Condon said, “I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book - and we’re hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience.”

The press release doesn’t mention if the movie will be split into two parts instead of one which was previously reported.
Condon won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1999 for 'Gods and Monsters,' and he was nominated for another Oscar for his screenplay for the movie musical 'Chicago' in 2003

Taylor Lautner will stay to play in "New Moon"
Taylor Lautner will transform to a werewolf as he will stay to play as Jacob Black in the twilight's sequel "New Moon". The good news was announced by Director Chris Weitz via Stephenie Meyer’s Website.
Here's the post entry:
Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:
I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.
The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.
very best
Chris Weitz
-------
I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.
