LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - October 2, 2008) - ReelzChannel® -- "TV About Movies," the
only cable/satellite network and website dedicated to everything about
movies, is looking for the Ultimate "Twilight" Fan. In advance of the
premiere of the highly anticipated movie based on the wildly popular teen
vampire book series, ReelzChannel is searching for the most devoted
"Twilight" fan and is offering a chance at TV "immortality" for the chosen
online entry.
During the period October 6-31, "Twilight" fans can compete for a chance to
be featured in a taped segment of the network's popular entertainment news
program, "Dailies," on November 20 -- the eve of the movie's U.S. premiere.
"Dailies" is televised weeknights at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The search kicks off the countdown to "ReelzChannel 'Twilight Week,'"
November 17-23, when each of the channel's original programs will feature
special coverage of the major movie adaptation of the current #1 The New
York Times bestselling series (53 weeks) by Stephenie Meyer.
To participate in the search, "Twilight" fans from across the country can
submit their original videos (up to five minutes in length), short essays
or photos that in the most creative way possible demonstrate their passion
for the story and their enthusiasm for the upcoming movie. Fans are
encouraged to log on to http://www.reelzchannel.com/twilight for complete
details on participation and to feast on all things "Twilight," including
cast interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and a quiz designed to separate
the die-hard fans from the "'Twilight'-weights."
In addition, clips from some of the video entries will be featured in spots
aired on the network in the weeks leading to the Ultimate Fan's appearance
on "Dailies."
"Twilight" is a young adult vampire novel originally published in hardcover
in 2005. It is the first book of the "Twilight" series, and introduces
seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan who moves from Phoenix, Arizona,
to Forks, Washington, and finds her life in danger when she falls in love
with a vampire, Edward Cullen. The other books in the series are "New
Moon," "Eclipse," and "Breaking Dawn."
