Stephenie Meyer Plagiarism law suit is a lie

There have been rumors going around that Stephenie Meyer is being sued for Plagiarism which also halted the filming of New Moon. According to the Examiner, these rumors are false. Summit denied the rumors and filming for New Moon is still going.

Summit Entertainment wants everyone to know that the rumor about Twilight author Stephanie Meyer being accused of plagiarism are not true.

This rumor is completely ridiculous. Four books have been released and widely read, one movie is released and widely watched at theaters and was a huge success on DVD. Another movie is filming and another is still casting. Out of the clear blue sky comes an allegation of plagiarism? Please, get a grip. (For anyone who doesn't know what Plagiarism is, it is the theft of someone else's writing).

Such a huge problem like this would of come to light years ago and nobody in Hollywood would of been able to hide it. It would of been on the cover of every entertainment section of every newspaper and magazine in the world.

This movie is a go, there is no stopping it. What needs to stop are bloggers and other journalists who don't do their job, pick up a phone and ask a simple question. Then actually listen to the answer and report the truth and not something made up to grab some readers.

"Tweens are the people this type of lie will hurt. "Tweens are waiting for this film and if they believe trash written by someone who doesn't know the first thing about Hollywood. The first thing about the movie industry, or even who to ask for information, it harms not only the person reading this trash, but the person who tries to write correct, verified information.

Summit Announces DVD Launch Features

‘TWILIGHT AT MIDNIGHT’ EVENT INSPIRES NATIONWIDE RETAIL EVENTS FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE HIT FILM ON MARCH 20, 2009 from 10PM to 12AM

Los Angeles, CA (March 2, 2009) – On Friday, March 20, 2009, from 10PM until 12 midnight, Summit Home Entertainment will provide TWILIGHT fans across the country with the chance to celebrate the midnight DVD release of the film that has unanimously been described as a “full-blown pop culture phenomenon.” TWILIGHT at MIDNIGHT will allow participating retailers the opportunity to stay open late as fans line up to purchase the DVD of the epic romance at midnight parties. The official TWILIGHT website- www.twilightthemovie.com – will feature a unique store locator from which fans can find out which retailers will be holding midnight parties.

Starting in March, store locator technology will be featured on the film’s website- www.twilightthemovie.com – providing unique access to breaking information about the TWILIGHT at MIDNIGHT events across America. In addition, the site will have updated announcements of special surprises related to actors in the film.

Following the success of the film, which grossed over $300 million worldwide, executives at Summit Entertainment decided to work with retailers to make this special edition DVD something that would not disappoint fans. “We wanted to say thank you to all of those who came out in droves last year and helped make Stephenie Meyer’s characters and story a truly successful movie,” said President of Home Entertainment, Steve Nickerson. While many DVDs street on Tuesdays, the Friday night launch party allows the core fans, many in high school, to celebrate outside of the school week. Adds Nickerson, “What better way to celebrate than a weekend party with your fellow Twilight fans.”

'Twilight' studio Summit unlikely to merge with Lionsgate

Reports that Summit -- the studio behind the Twilight movie (pictured) -- and Lionsgate, the makers of the Saw franchise, are discussing a merger have been greatly exaggerated, EW has learned. Following a report yesterday on Sharon Waxman's new website The Wrap, which revealed that the two indie studios are in fact having conversations about a corporate marriage, a source tells EW that those discussions actually occurred before Summit took the $37 million Twilight and turned it into a $340 million worldwide franchise. Now that they've got a real hit on their hands, Summit is going it alone for the time being, with the Dakota Fanning-starrer Push releasing on Friday, and New Moon, the studio's Twilight sequel, scheduled for a Nov. 20 bow.
