The Wrap has an article on Lionsgate possbily buying Summit Entertainment,
which includes the rights to the Twilight franchise:

Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment are in talks to merge their two companies, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.

The plan, if the deal goes through, is for Lionsgate to buy Summit’s library of six films and the rights to the “Twilight” franchise. Early talks last year involved the merger of only the domestic divisions, under the terms of the reported deal.

    it is not true these ppl r slow in twilighters.org r slow HGE has this up read it and twilighters.org get ur info fast gosh

    According to EW, the rumors that Lionsgate will buy Summit along with the rights to the Twilight franchise are not very likely.

    Reports that Summit — the studio behind the Twilight movie (pictured) — and Lionsgate, the makers of the Saw franchise, are discussing a merger have been greatly exaggerated, EW has learned. Following a report yesterday on Sharon Waxman’s new website The Wrap, which revealed that the two indie studios are in fact having conversations about a corporate marriage, a source tells EW that those discussions actually occurred before Summit took the $37 million Twilight and turned it into a $340 million worldwide franchise. Now that they’ve got a real hit on their hands, Summit is going it alone for the time being, with the Dakota Fanning-starrer Push releasing on Friday, and New Moon, the studio’s Twilight sequel, scheduled for a Nov. 20 bow.

    ok did eveyone hear what stephen king said 2 stephenie read this it is on yahoo-

    Stephen King On ‘Twilight’ Author: ‘Stephenie Meyer Can’t Write Worth A Darn’

    LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Stephen King’s opinion may drive a stake through the heart of “Twilight” author, Stephenie Meyer.

    In an interview with USA Weekend, the bestselling author compared Meyer with J.K. Rowling , the author of the Harry Potter series.

    According to Stephen, “Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

    While Stephen may not be a fan of Stephenie’s writing, he understands the appeal of the series.

    “People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because it’s not overtly sexual.”

    He further explains, “A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that’s a shorthand for all the feelings that they’re not ready to deal with yet.”

    he is retarted in the head
