In a note to fans posted on Facebook Bill Condon confirmed "there won't be any musical numbers" in 'Breaking Dawn.' As previously announced, Condon will direct the fourth instalment of the Twilight Saga.

In the note Condon addressed "Twihards, Twifans, Twilight Moms, Team Edward, Team Jacob and Team Switzerland," and their concerns about the film's accuracy. Condon calmed fears by letting fans know that "[he'd] been given a very warm welcome by Stephenie and Team Summit - who are super-focused... on getting these movies right."

In addition to writing and directing the Oscar nominated hits "Dreamgirls" and "Chicago," Condon won an Oscar for writing "Gods and Monsters." Condon made his directorial debut with "Sister, Sister" (1987), an eerie Southern Gothic mystery starring Eric Stoltz and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Following this, Condon made a series of made-for-TV thrillers, including "Murder 101" (1991), which starred Pierce Brosnan and earned Condon and co-writer Roy Johansen a 1992 Edgar Award for their screenplay. During this period he also wrote the screenplay for the thriller "F/X2" (1991), which was directed by Aussie director Richard Franklin and "Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh" (1995). In 2004 Condon was Oscar nominated again for writing and directing "Kinsey." He is a member of the Independent Feature Projects (IFP) in Los Angeles, a non-profit organization which supports independent films, as well as the Independent Writers Steering Committee, which was initiated by the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
