A St. Louis woman accidentally found several pages from the upcoming “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon” in the trash, according to the Associated Press.
Casey Ray found two scripts in a trash container while waiting for her fiancee, according to reports. The scripts were for “New Moon” and another upcoming film, “Memoirs,” Ray returned the scripts to the studio. To show their gratitude, Ray has been invited to the red-carpet premiere of “New Moon” later this year.
The scripts were found outside a St. Louis hotel where the stars of the upcoming George Clooney movie, “Up in the Air” are staying. Actress Anna Kendrick is in the Clooney film and stars in both installments of the “Twilight” series. However, the actress insists that she didn’t leave the scripts lying around or dispose of them.
When Ray found the scripts, she considered leaking them to a national tabloid but decided against it, said her lawyer, Al Watkins.
“My client didn’t really want to get paid,” he said, but she was interested in hanging onto the scripts as collector’s items.
Watkins helped her return them to Los Angeles-based Summit Entertainment LLC, the studio making the movies. He said the studio invited Ray to premieres for the two films, and will certify the scripts as authentic after the movies are released.
“Summit doesn’t comment on any of the deals it does,” Summit spokesman Paul Pflug said. But he added, “We thank Ms. Ray for doing the right thing.”

Virture is its own reward.
It is a sad state of the world when doing the “right thing” is outside the norm of the collective social reasoning.
This action should have been excepted, not looked at in amazement by the country.
