Press release:

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT MOVES UP RELEASE DATE FOR
TWILIGHT TO NOVEMBER 21, 2008

Los Angeles, CA August 15, 2008 - TWILIGHT, the first film in Summit
Entertainment's thriller romance franchise, has moved up its North American
release date to Friday, November 21, 2008. The film, which was previously
planned to be released on December, 12, 2008, is taking advantage of an
opening in the upcoming fall release calendar. The new release date for
TWILIGHT allows the studio to both bring the film to the written-series'
enormous fan base sooner, and to present the film in more theatres prior to
the holiday movie-going season where traditionally screen time for any
popular film is limited.

"When Warner Bros. decided to move HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE to
the summer of 2009, we saw a unique opportunity to slot in our film which
has been gaining tremendous awareness and momentum over the past several
months," said Rob Friedman, Co-Chairman and CEO of Summit Entertainment. "We
by no means are trying to fill the shoes of the incredible POTTER franchise
for 2008, rather we are just looking to bring the fans of Stephenie Meyer's
incredible book series the film as soon possible from a programming
perspective."

Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the thriller-romance based
on Stephenie Meyer's publishing phenomenon, the film is directed by
Catherine Hardwicke from a script by Melissa Rosenberg (STEP UP). Karen
Rosenfelt (DEVIL WEARS PRADA), Greg Mooradian and Wyck Godfrey will produce
along with Mark Morgan via his Maverick Films banner.

TWILIGHT tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan (Stewart) who moves to
the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes
drawn to Edward Cullen (Pattinson), a pale, mysterious classmate who seems
determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls
them together.even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires.
Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis
comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.
