New Moon Set for Twilight Premiere in Tennessee

 

Twilight Saga fans can now set their sights on the state of Tennessee since the Twilight spotlight will be on Knoxville for the U.S. premiere of New Moon. Knoxville, Tennessee is in for one of the biggest cinematic releases of the year as it plays host to the premiere of the Twilight sequel New Moon. New Moon is set for theatrical release on November 20, 2009 but the exact Twilight premiere date is still undetermined.

The Twilight guest list for the premiere of New Moon is unconfirmed but Twilight Saga promoters are hoping that Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and Kristen Stewart will all be on board for the New Moon premiere, which will thrust Knoxville into the Twilight media spotlight.

As reported around the web, the New Moon premiere will take place at Regal Cinemas’ Pinnacle 18 in Turkey Creek. In 2008, Journey to the Center of the Earth made its debut at Regal in an effort to raise funds for Variety – The Children’s Charity of Eastern Tennessee.

Twilight Saga fans have already started to scour the web for Twilight tickets to the New Moon premiere in the hope of seeing the Twilight and New Moon stars live and in the flesh.
Let the blood bath for Twilight tickets begin.

Twilight Release of Eclipse Facing Competition in 2010

The Twilight release date for Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight Saga following New Moon, is set for June 30, 2010 but has been crammed into a very busy summer period for big-budget releases. The Twilight Saga film, Eclipse, starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner won’t have a Transformers movie or another Harry Potter to contend with but the upcoming Twilight film will have M Night Shyamalan’s Avatar: The Last Airbender to face two days after Eclipse hits theatres on July 2, 2010.
The July 4 weekend is a busy time at the North American box office and the Twilight inclusive 2010 looks to be no different. After the Twilight Saga release of Eclipse, the long in-development hell comic book project, The Green Hornet has finally been given a release date of July 9, 2010 but the Seth Rogen movie is still in pre-production and filming hasn’t gotten underway.
Can Eclipse keep the Twilight Saga momentum going as strong as it currently is for New Moon? The rapid production and release of all three Twilight Saga films has led many to believe that the overwhelming Twilight and New Moon media attention could burnout Eclipse before it has time to hit theatres. It’s not a matter of if, but …
Related to the bevy of films around the release of The Twilight Saga Eclipse, Toy Story 3 will be released on June 18, 2010. Executives at Summit Entertainment are hoping there will be enough time between Eclipse and Toy Story to avoid an overlap. Filming on Eclipse is set to begin in August in Vancouver ahead of the Twilight sequel New Moon, which makes its theatrical debut on November 20, 2009.
