The first ever 'World Wolf Premiere' has been hosted in Longleat Safari Park as wolves watched their counterparts in action on the big screen for the DVD & Blu-ray release of the phenomenally successful The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Monday 22nd March).
Film company E1 Entertainment previewed the vampire vs. werewolf sequel - starring Kristen Stewart, Brit star Robert Pattinson and US talent Taylor Lautner - on a 16sqm screen in one of the country's only wolf enclosures, with the unique screening deemed a howling success by the pack of 13 Canadian wolves at the park in Wiltshire.
The film, which is HMV's highest pre-order title of all time, has taken over
£27 million since its theatrical release in November 2009 and is set to become one of the biggest home entertainment releases of 2010 thanks to the loyal following of 'Twi-hards' - fans of both Stephenie Meyer's series of novels and films released so far.
Ian Turner, Deputy Head Warden at Longleat commented, "We've certainly never had a request like this before, so we were very intrigued to find out how the wolves would react to seeing their counterparts on screen. While they weren't so interested in the romance - the scenes of the wolves certainly got their attention and prompted a series of howls as the film went on."
E1 Entertainment Senior Product Manager Martin Gough added, "Whilst Twilight was all about the vampires, New Moon develops a new love interest for Bella and in doing so introduces a range of characters that are all werewolves.
Whilst we're used to deafening screams for Robert Pattinson, it's a nice change to hear howls of approval for the rest of the cast, including the screen wolves themselves."
With more of the passion, action and suspense that made Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novels and the first movie smash hits, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is a spellbinding follow-up to the international box office phenomenon, and is out to own on DVD & Blu-ray from Monday 22nd March.
