The Twilight Saga is based on the best selling series of novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. It follows the love triangle between a teenage girl named Bella Swan, a vampire, Edward Cullen, and a young werewolf, Jacob Black. The books were not only loved by the readers, but they also reaped several awards from the literary world. The live-action big-screen adaptations of the books were all certified blockbusters, breaking several box-office records. It is considered as one of the most successful movie franchises raking in more than $1.792 billion worldwide. But if the audiences love them, the critics, not so much. They have panned Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. Although Summit Entertainment could still getaway with it with the franchise critic-proof, they want to prove that they could achieve both like the Lord of Rings trilogy and their rival the Harry Potter series did.
They went on to sign Dreamgirls director Bill Condon to direct Breaking Dawn whom they think could give justice to the work by Meyer. Condon is a critically-acclaimed and prolific director and screenwriter with films like Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, Kinsey, and Gods and Monsters, where he won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Kudos should be given to the director as he did an excellent job, based on the brand new trailer. The stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and the rest of the cast have also shown a lot of improvements in their acting chops. And with that, the millions of people who are planning to watch Breaking Dawn when it gets released will also get the satisfaction. Summit will eventually get the cred that they have been longing for the series.
