The lengthy note updates fans on the pre-production efforts that Condon and his team have made, including a tidbit about some of the crew. Take this portion, for instance: "Jean Black, our makeup designer, has worked extensively with the Coen Brothers and David Fincher, most recently making exquisite, award-winning contributions to THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. I'm honored to be working with her."
A lot of fans, when discussing the issue of "Renesmee's" changing appearance in the story, have pointed to The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button as an example of how it might be done for the film(s).
Which makes Condon's comments about his visual effects team interesting as well.
Said he, "Our Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor John Bruno has been responsible for some of the most memorable special effects ever, with his groundbreaking work on display in everything from POLTERGEIST to AVATAR. He and his team are working intensely to develop solutions to the host of special effects challenges that Stephenie created for us in BREAKING DAWN, including that remarkable kid..." Kid being, of course, "Renesmee."
Other crew announcements made by Condon's letter include: a new cinematographer, Guillermo Navarro, who Condon has been "painstakingly planning each shot" with; a new costume designer, Michael Wilkinson ("just wait 'til you see his take on the vampire witnesses who come to Forks from around the globe"); and a new production designer, Richard Sherman, who "also happens to be a lifelong vampire aficionado."
As for the status of the film outside of these hires? Condon stated that he's been "immersed in the world of TWILIGHT - something I'm sure you can all appreciate. We're in the thick of pre-production now, juggling everything from casting to storyboarding to location scouting, getting it all ready to go . . . Even with the months of work we've already put in, we're barely underway on the journey."
