News: New Moon Script Found In The Trash

I bet someone will not be very happy about this !!!

A humble beauty salon owner will mingle with stars at the New Moon premiere – after she discovered the film’s script in a trash can and handed it in to studio bosses.

Casey Ray from St. Louis, Missouri found the discarded screenplay, along with another script for a venture entitled Memoirs in a bin while waiting for her boyfriend to finish work.

And rather than leak the film’s plot to fans of the Twilight series, Ray has been praised by the film’s studio Summit Entertainment for her honesty after she came forward with the scripts.

A representative for the studio says, “We thank Ms. Ray for doing the right thing.”

And bosses are so thankful for the return of the script, they have invited Ray to both films’ premieres.

Ray’s lawyer states that although she considered holding on to the New Moon screenplay as a collector’s item, “she didn’t really want to get paid” for the script.

It is not known how the scripts ended up in the bin, although actress Anna Kendrick, who stars in the vampire franchise, was recently filming in a hotel near where the items were found.

However, Kendrick’s rep insists the star wouldn’t leave her scripts in a public trash can.

Pattinson Blasts ‘Ridiculous’ Stewart Romance Rumours

They are bound to be linked just because they work together on the Twilight series.

Robert Pattinson is completely baffled by the continued gossip linking him to his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart – branding the romance rumours “ridiculous”.

The pair, who play on-screen lovers Edward Bullen and Bella Swan in the cult vampire franchise, has been dogged by reports they are enjoying a secret love affair.

But Pattinson insists the situation has got out of control – especially when he sees their ‘romance’ is front page news.

He tells Entertainment Tonight, “It becomes a joke. There was some magazine the other day about me and Kristen, and when you look at it and realise it’s on the front of a magazine… You realise that people are actually reading that even though how ridiculous it is. It’s really bizarre.”

Slade Signs As Eclipse Director

Third installment is on the go already 🙂 YAY !!!

The cast of the Twilight franchise are in for a scary ride when filming starts on the vampire series’ third outing Eclipse – horror moviemaker David Slade has been signed to the project.

Speculation over the director of the third bloodsucking movie has been rife over recent months, with Drew Barrymore and Juan Antonia Bayona both being linked to the coveted position.

Catherine Hardwicke broke records with her take on Twilight, while Chris Weitz is currently in charge of the forthcoming sequel New Moon.

But bosses at film studio Summit and author of the books from which the films are adapted, Stephenie Meyer, have given the green light for the third picture, Eclipse, to take a more sinister twist – by hiring scare master Slade.

The director is famous for his dark films, including Hard Candy in 2005, and has already worked with the vampire genre – directing 2007’s critically acclaimed 30 Days Of Night.

And Meyer is adamant Slade is the right guy for the job: “I am thrilled that David Slade will be directing Eclipse. He’s a visionary filmmaker who has so much to offer this franchise.

“From the beginning, we’ve been blessed with wonderful directorial talent for the Twilight Saga, and I’m so happy that Eclipse will be carrying on with that tradition.”

New Moon To Rise As Planned

YAY, all that news yesterday saying it wasnt going to happen !!!

Twilight fans can breathe a sigh of relief after studio executives confirmed the upcoming sequel New Moon will not be affected by an ongoing lawsuit against author Stephenie Meyer.

The writer, who penned the books on which the films are based, is facing legal action from her former college roommate, who alleges Meyer based the novels on a short story she wrote as a student.

The lawsuit was reported to have had severe implications for the film franchise – which stars Robert Pattinson – with internet gossips speculating that the shooting of New Moon in Canada had been halted.

But a spokesperson from Summit Entertainment, the company behind the movie, insists New Moon remains on schedule for a 20 November release.

The rep tells MSNBC.com, “Production is underway, in Vancouver, totally as planned. There is no delay. Whatever you’re hearing about a lawsuit interfering with the film (and) its release, all I can say is it’s totally false.”

New Moon ‘Halted Over Lawsuit’

OOOO no this is not good. We want more Edward Cullen (even though he isnt in New Moon that much). I hope this all gets sorted out. Why is it when someone has success with books or even a movie, some random person likes to claim they had the idea. Well I am sure a lot of people have similar ideas but never do anything about it . . .

Twilight sequel New Moon has been thrown into jeopardy – author Stephenie Meyer is facing a plagiarism lawsuit over the vampire franchise, according to reports.

The original 2008 movie – starring Robert Pattinson – was a major international hit and has spawned a follow-up which is currently being shot in Canada. The film franchise is based on the popular book series, written by Meyer.

But production on the second film has reportedly been halted following claims Meyer is facing legal action from her former college roommate, who is said to have accused the writer of basing the novels on her ideas.

According to I’mnotobsessed.com, Heidi Stanton – who studied alongside Meyer at Brigham Young University, Utah – claims the vampire books are similar to a short story she wrote when she was a student there.

Stanton filed her lawsuit against Meyer in Utah last Tuesday, alleging idea infringement.

She states in the papers, “Quite frankly, I was shocked when I began watching the movie with my husband last week. I immediately told him that she got that idea from me! I wrote a fictional short story with the same ideas when we were in college together.”

Meyer claims the premise for the popular series came to her in a dream in June 2003 and she completed the first novel three months later.

And the legal battle has reportedly cast doubt on the highly-anticipated New Moon, with production being “put on hold” until the case is resolved, according to the website.

New Moon is scheduled for release at the end of the year.

Sheen Signs Up For New Moon

I think this will be very good for Michael Sheen. He is a terrific actor and totally deserves to be even bigger in the public spotlight.

Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen is to star as a bloodsucking vampire in the highly anticipated Twilight sequel.

Sheen has agreed to take on a prominent role alongside fellow Brit Robert Pattinson in New Moon, director Chris Weitz has revealed.

He will play the character Aro – the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.

Weitz says, “Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires. Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.”

Sheen will reportedly receive $7.3 million (£5 million) for taking on the role.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.

And now film bosses have confirmed the news to Access Hollywood – Fanning will play the role of Jane, a member of the Italian Volturi vampires in the sequel.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.
