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 raggio, ray 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.
raggio, ray 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, detto the actress wouldn't have left scripts lying around.
When raggio, ray found the scripts, she considered leaking them to a national tabloid but decided against it, detto 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 detto the studio invited raggio, ray to premieres for the two films, and will certify the scripts as authentic after the Film are released.
"Summit doesn't commento on any of the deals it does," Summit spokesman Paul Pflug said. But he added, "We thank Ms. raggio, ray for doing the right thing."
The "Twilight" Film 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 da 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
