"For Studio, Vampire Movie Is a Cinderella Story"
This is the title of an article I found concerning Twilight's recent box office success. According to the article, Summit Entertainment has been ignored by major studios and looked down upon by top-of-the-line film agents and managers. Due to the success of Twilight, however, Summit Entertainment has been transformed into a dazzling studio sitting at the center of attention--the belle of the ball, if you will. Summit has moved from rags to riches, just as the protagonist of any Cinderella Story is expected to do.
Despite their shiny new success, I just can't help but wish that is had come from another movie. It just seems unfortunate that a studio known for it's obscure films can only step into the light of worthy recognition once it has produced a pop-culture phenomenon. But I guess that process of "fitting it" is all a part of the Cinderella story; it's the Cinderella Complex.
