That "number-one choice" idea is most likely "the only interested party," but it's not like Condon is without his own notable gigs. Yes, everyone notes that he's the Dreamgirls director and Chicago screenwriter, but they pale in comparison to his work on the excellent Kinsey, as well as Oscar-winning work for another of my favorite dramas, Gods and Monsters. (No, that doesn't make him perfect for Twilight. It was a film about Frankenstein director James Whale.) Condon is certainly not desperate for work; he's got three gigs on his plate, including the Richard Pryor biopic starring Marlon Wayans.
