EXCLUSIVE: Add this name to the 列表 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 列表 that includes Sofia Coppola, Bill Condon and Gus 面包车, 范 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.
由 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 更多 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 天鹅 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 由 those standards, Daldry stands out. He's been nominated for three Oscars, 更多 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 爱情 (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 分裂, 拆分 into two -- will in all likelihood be shot in the fall. That gives Summit a little 更多 time to comb through high-end directors. Academy Award winners, take note: 吸血鬼 and 狼人 are coming for you. -- Steven Zeitchik

So, I noticed that on many Edward and Bella sites I go on have at least one 文章 related to Edward being a stalker. But is it true?
Edward can be viewed as a stalker, in some ways:
1. He and Bella spend all their time together.
2. He insists on driving her to school every day.
3. He has switched his classes so he can be in most of the same periods as her.
4. They sit together at lunch everyday (though I'm not sure this really counts, because it's Bella's choice.)
5. He watches Bella sleep--enough said.
6. He insists on marriage (though in the books, Eclipse specifically, this point is 给 a logical reason. Edward wants to marry Bella because he loves her, he's a stalker, and because he wants to save his virtue.)
But the truth is he became a stalker because he loves Bella. And Bella loves him. Isn't that what counts most of all?
