LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct 02, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- ReelzChannel(R) -- "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."
