The other day, several photos and screenshots from the upcoming “Breaking Dawn Part 1” film leaked online. By the time Summit took them all down, millions of fans had already seen them and now, author Stephenie Meyer is trying to prevent further leaks.
As we
also noted yesterday, the leaked pictures revealed very important details about the film, in particular about Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) wedding night.
Though most of them are no longer available online, Meyer would like to take a moment to remind fans (or whoever is leaking such material) that this is a work in progress and, therefore, any leak is damaging.
In the same
statement, Meyer also urges fans who run fansites or have blogs not to post leaked photos anymore, should more emerge online.
“We are extremely proud of this film and also extremely heartbroken to see it out there at this stage,” Meyer, the author of the original “Twilight” books, says in the statement.
“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,” she adds.
To those who have, in their turn, uploaded the photos on their websites and blogs, she has only one thing to say: please don’t do that again.
“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,” Meyer says.
Indeed, the temptation is very high. Even after the pictures were removed, websites that had them up were flooded with demands from Twi-hards who wanted a little spoiler on the much-hyped film, which doesn’t come out until later this year.
Though the “Twilight” franchise is no stranger to security breaches of this kind, this was officially its biggest to date.
