Would it surprise you to hear that the script for New Moon was recently found in a trash can in St. Louis? Yeah, it got my eyebrows up too!
Apparently, a beauty salon owner down in St. Louis was waiting for her fiance to get off work when she noticed some unusual items in a trash bin. Upon closer examination, the items in question turned out to be Summit Entertainment scripts–one for upcoming George Clooney title Up in the Air and one for none other than New Moon.
The salon owner took the scripts back to Summit, instead of selling them to the highest bidder or leaking details like no tomorrow. How was she rewarded for her supreme act of good faith? Summit, in its truly puling and weak gratitude, invited her to the premiere of New Moon. Yeah. That’s it. She could’ve sunk an entire production and walked away with a fortune, but Summit, proving that no good deed goes unpunished, rewarded the salon owner’s honesty by GIVING HER A MOVIE TICKET.
Weak sauce, Summit. Weak. SAUCE. If there is any justice, Twilight fans will stay home in droves and wait for New Moon to hit video, thus neutering the production’s earnings.
