Woman finds 'Twilight' sequel script in trash (AP)Source: AP Tue May 12, 2009, 6:06 am EDT
ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis beauty salon owner accidentally happened upon one of the hottest Hollywood scripts — the pages from an upcoming "Twilight" sequel — in a trash bin.
Casey луч, рэй found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel "New Moon" and one for a different movie titled "Memoirs." She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies' premieres, her lawyer said.
луч, рэй recently was waiting for her fiance to finish work when she spotted two scripts in a trash container. She was outside a hotel where actors were staying during a St. Louis shoot for the upcoming George Clooney movie, "Up in the Air."
It's not clear how the scripts wound up in the bin.
The Clooney movie includes actress Anna Kendrick, who is also in the "Twilight" vampire movie. A spokeswoman for Kendrick, Lisa Perkins, сказал(-а) the actress wouldn't have left scripts lying around.
When луч, рэй found the scripts, she considered leaking them to a national tabloid but decided against it, сказал(-а) her lawyer, Al Watkins.
"My client didn't really want to get paid," he said, but she was interested in hanging onto the scripts as collector's items.
Watkins helped her return them to Los Angeles-based Summit Entertainment LLC, the studio making the movies. He сказал(-а) the studio invited луч, рэй to premieres for the two films, and will certify the scripts as authentic after the Фильмы are released.
"Summit doesn't Комментарий on any of the deals it does," Summit spokesman Paul Pflug said. But he added, "We thank Ms. луч, рэй for doing the right thing."
The "Twilight" Фильмы are based on the novels of Stephenie Meyer, so many of the plot turns are well known to readers. But keeping the "New Moon" script written by Melissa Rosenberg out of the public eye preserves which elements of the book will be included in the films, Pflug noted.
Last year's original "Twilight" film grossed over $350 million worldwide
