Production Halted on Twilight Sequel...

[Jennilyn]

Oh no! Seems weird that it took the woman that long to figure it out...I mean, even if you haven't read the books, you must've heard SOME part of the story line...

[newfiemountiewife]

Yeah, but to be honest, if I weren't on the message boards, I'd never have heard of it. I don't go to book stores, and I don't watch much tv, so it is possible I suppose. It's only from you guys that I even knew they existed LOL

[nikkiARNGwife]

That's hilarious! and yeah...DH had never heard of the books and inadvertantly went to the movie b/c he saw a poster and thought it was a horror movie..so I can see where she may not have realized what it was all about.

[Mandy]

WTFreak!

[joelsgirl]

Well, either way, Stephanie IS the one who turned it into an international best seller. I'm totally siding with her. I'd be interested to see exactly how close her story is to the roommate's story, too.

[AnnieBananie]

There's always some momo that comes out of the woodwork claiming ownership of these hit stories. Harry Potter had issues too. They'll work it out and, worst case scenario, they'll buy the roommate off so New Moon can move forward *shrug*

[rochelle789]

I don't believe it. I just looked at few entertainment news sites and a few Twilight fansites (they'd be all over this news if it was true) and there was nothing about this. Plus, I just saw some pictures from the set that were taken on Friday.

[Shawna]

That web site doesn't seem all that reliable (they posted about Taylor Lautner dying on set during a stunt which is obviously not true lol) so I'm seriously doubting that story is even true. I haven't found one mention of a lawsuit on any real news site yet, every blog or celeb gossip type site always links back to that web site. I'm thinking that as huge as Twilight is, if this was a real lawsuit at least one big news site would be all over it.

Seems true but all I knew about the movie before seeing it was that it was a vampire movie....

Well I have 2 thoughts on this...

1. The story of a vampire falling in love with a human is not a new thing. In fact, I would be willing to bet that it's often young girls (teens) who are the topic of these stories simply because who wants to see a vampire fall in love with an old lady? LOL

2. If *my* college roommate had just become hugely popular for writing a series of books that were recently made into box-office-hit movies, I think I would've done a little investigating to find out at least what the story was about even if I didn't have time to read or go to the movies.

I dunno...

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! I would probably read anything (or at least get a general idea of it) that any of my roommates put out! Especially being something SO huge and popular!

[crystalbella77]

I was going to say the exact thing Libby did! Definitely seems fishy to me! I guess we will see how it all plays out!

[suze]

huh very interesting. Well I'm sure there is enough money out there to pay off everyone and get back on the movie if the rumor is true. So I know I'll still get to see new moon one way or the other!

[nesser1981]

They also say that she took a lot of her ideas from the Sookie Sackhouse novels.

I don't buy it. And if so, big deal. Everybody gets an idea from everyone else.

Ditto. Those were my exact thoughts. Even if it was true and she did write a story like that, Stephanie brought this one to light. A short story and a 4 novel series are quite different.

[Laura_A]

Vampires & Warewolves are nothing new, so unless there is something specific about the other chick's story that Meyer used, it'll prolly blow over.

[rach3975]

Phew. I'm glad to hear none of it is true.
