In a recent interview with MTV News, the Oscar-winner proved that it isn’t just screaming tweens who are obsessed with Twilight:

I love, I’m impressed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison pulling it off in that whole story. [...[ I just love that [Breaking Dawn] so romantic. I’m always a sucker for a love story and also to do something for teenagers, because I feel like, why not have beautiful cinematography and all these things in a kid movie? Usually it looks like it’s not crafted very sophisticated, and I feel like it’d be nice to bring that kind of style into a younger film.

The Lost in Translation director admits that she was tapped by Summit Entertainment to direct the final two installments of the Twilight Saga but the director’s chair eventually went to Bill Condon.

Why was a Hollywood cool girl interested in director something that is–in her words–a “kid movie”? “My friend’s kids love the story so much,” the director admitted, “I thought it would be fun to make something that they love so much.”

Sofia, who is the daughter of famed director Francis Ford Coppola, is currently prepping for the release of her latest film, Somewhere, starring Stephen Dorff.

Director Sofia Coppola (daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola) and husband Thomas Mars recently welcomed their second child, Cosima.

Lil’ Cosima, who was reportedly born in New York City, will join her big sister Romy, who is 3.

Sofia and Thomas have been dating since 2005 and divide their time between Paris, France and the States.

Congratulations to the happy family!

The hunt is currently on for a director to handle helming duties for Breaking Dawn, and according to EW.com, Summit is going big with its list of candidates. How big? Oscars big. The heavy hitters being approached about the project include such Oscars nominees and winners as Milk director Gus Van Sant (a favorite candidate of series star Robert Pattinson), Lost in Translation director Sofia Coppola and Dreamgirls helmsman Bill Condon.

Why not throw Steven Spielberg into the mix while you’re at it, Summit?

The pool of directorial candidates was recently reduced by one when Chris Weitz, who handled directing duties for Twilight sequel New Moon, announced that he wouldn’t be pursuing the Breaking Dawn directing gig.
