The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' director spot likely to go to Bill Condon?

'Breaking Dawn' by Stephenie Meyer - Hatchette Books

One of these days, talk about who will direct The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will subside. Of course, that'll only happen when an official production company statement from Summit Entertainment comes down the pike, so until then, the guessing game continues.
This time, the news is from Deadline Hollywood, which reports that Oscar-winning Dreamgirls, Kinsey, and Gods And Monsters director Bill Condon is the number one choice for the post.
"Summit Entertainment hasn’t signed him, but I’m told that after several strong meetings, they are negotiating," Deadline's Mike Fleming reports.
Fleming goes on to say that, as most Twilight fans by now predict, the film "will begin [shooting] in the fall, and I heard the plan is to shoot two films back to back."
Again, the smartest trend is to assume nothing is official until it is official, but it's certainly interesting to hear this sort of industry buzz on the matter.
So, if Sofia Coppola, Gus Van Sant, and Stephen Daldry are bested in the running by Bill Condon, would you be pleased?
