Restatement of Lexicon Policy

We have stated the following a few times in the past and now I feel it necessary to state it in regards to the upcoming movie. We are a non-spoiler site. Unless something is released officially by Stephenie Meyer or Summit Films as a teaser/preview we don’t run it. 

For those of you who hooked into Twilight early on, remember the chaos that broke out when one person who had an arc posted huge spoilers on MySpace? They put out a bunch of spoilery, out-of-context comments that really ruined the reading experience for many people who happened to stumble on it not knowing what was on that posting. It also created chaos because no one could understand how New Moon could be any good "since Edward won’t be there."  In the end all the drama was ridiculous because it’s a book we love.  Everything in context made sense.

Personally, I have been trying to stay spoiler free in regards to the movie, so I can judge it as a completed product: actors, effects, location.  This brings me to my next point, there are preliminary script sides that are out there. We have no way of knowing if they will be in their current form in the final film. There is also supposedly a complete script out there and supposedly a girl reading it on an online video site. Again we have  no way of knowing if this script will actually be the final one being shot. In fact it is highly likely, should it prove to be legit, that changes will take place as this is typical. There are always changes in script as the movie begins. Listen to the commentary on DVD’s and you will hear about changes to script that the actors get on the day they are to shoot a scene.

Next, any completed script material that is legit is the property of Summit Entertaintment. To distribute such material without the authorization of Summit Entertainment is illegal. It is theft and a prosecutable offense.  I would highly suggest that if anyone possess such material that you give it back, and don’t post that you have it online.  It’s one thing to have found audition sides and to discuss them. The company intends them for public consumption ( granted to entertainment professionals).   Shooting script  is not intended for the public.  It is the intellectual property of the company and offering it, or giving quotes from it isn’t fair not to mention illegal.

What does all this mean here?  If you post script spoilers you will be banned. If you want to discuss them on other sites that allow it, no problem, but you can’t do it here.
