The moment fans heard that a copy of the “Eclipse” script was available for download, they asked themselves whether it was not a virus, as it’s been known to be the case. The aforementioned movie-oriented publication can confirm that there is no virus, and the document is genuine, though whether it’s the final version of the script could not be verified. Summit Entertainment, the movie studio behind “Twilight,” is refusing to comment on the leak.
“The Internet is in a frenzy about what is purported to be the full script of the 3rd installment of the Twilight Saga leaked as a downloadable .pdf file. It appears to belong to Jackson Rathbone who plays Jasper in the film franchise. Now I can confirm that it is an early version of the Eclipse script (not the shooting script) and it is Rathbone’s (who probably left it behind at a blood bank),” Deadline Hollywood says.
With all this, it could very well be that the leak fails to leave any marks on the commercial success of the franchise, the e-zine goes on to say. Aside from the fact that most fans have already read the third book, on which the film is based, therefore are well familiar with what will happen in the movie as well, “Twilight” is by now such a massive phenomenon that there are too few things that could bring it down. If very harsh reviews could not have a negative impact on “New Moon,” it’s easy to see why a leaked script would not even leave a figurative dent in the upcoming installment.
“Does it matter? Of course not. Like duh, the script is based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling book. Judging from New Moon’s worldwide grosses of $682M so far, I say not even this copyright infringement can stop the Twilight Saga juggernaut,” Deadline Hollywood says.
