Twilight fans can breathe a sigh of relief after studio executives confirmed the upcoming sequel New Moon will not be affected by an ongoing lawsuit against author Stephenie Meyer.
The writer, who penned the books on which the films are based, is facing legal action from her former college roommate, who alleges Meyer based the novels on a short story she wrote as a student.
The lawsuit was reported to have had severe implications for the film franchise - which stars Robert Pattinson - with internet gossips speculating that the shooting of New Moon in Canada had been halted.
But a spokesperson from Summit Entertainment, the company behind the movie, insists New Moon remains on schedule for a 20 November release.
The rep tells MSNBC.com, “Production is underway, in Vancouver, totally as planned. There is no delay. Whatever you’re hearing about a lawsuit interfering with the film (and) its release, all I can say is it’s totally false.”
