Eclipse stars Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz have admitted that they are "excited" by the prospect of working with director Bill Condon on Breaking Dawn.

Speaking to DS at the UK premiere for the latest Twilight film, Reed said that Condon's appointment is "flattering and wonderful" for the franchise.

"I think that really speaks to how wonderful these books are that we've somehow been blessed with these amazing directors that want to be a part of this," she said.

Lutz joked of the Oscar-winning Dreamgirls helmer's hiring: "I hope I have a dance number in there! He's a brilliant director, so I'm very excited to be working with him."

Eclipse director David Slade said that he has no objection to handing over the series to Condon.

"I wish him all the luck in the world," he said. "He's a brilliant director and I'm sure he'll do a wonderful job with the film."

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens in the UK on Friday.
