Summit Entertainment contacted several Twilight fan sites yesterday in regards to the numerous leaked photos and stills from the upcoming Breaking Dawn. You can read the entire contents of the e-mail below.
Dear Twilight Saga fans,
As some of you may know, pictures and screen grabs of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as a work in progress have leaked on the internet. We are extremely proud of this film and also extremely heartbroken to see it out there at this stage.
The film and these images are not yet ready or in their proper context. They were illegally obtained and their early dissemination is deeply upsetting to the actors, the filmmakers and Summit who are working so hard to bring these movies to fruition to you in November 2011 and November 2012.
Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don’t view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.
Sincerely,
Stephenie Meyer, Bill Condon, Wyck Godfrey and Summit Entertainment
ITS will not be posting the photos, though I personally inadvertently saw a few before I realized what they were. How many of you have seen them? How many of you (like me) are trying desperately to hold out until November? Think we'll make it?

For Eclipse I tried to stay away from everything about the movie, including the teaser pics/videos Summit released. I inadvertently saw some, and of course I saw the trailers. It was actually really awesome to be able to watch the movie without much prior knowledge of what a lot of the scenes would be. But it wasn't worth the hassle and stress of trying to stay away.
ReplyDeleteI'm not actively seeking out Breaking Dawn pics, but it's really hard to resist when Rob keeps being half nekkid in them all, lol.
I've never really thought of it from the actors' perspectives. That would feel pretty crappy knowing some of the surprise was ruined for their audiences. Such is life.
I wish I knew more about the nature of the fics being obtained.
Okay, rambley comment stopping now.
