Burger King Back as an Eclipse Sponsor

marketwatchlogoAccording to The Wall Street Journal’s The Market Watch, Burger King is back on board for Eclipse.

“On the heels of its highly successful “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” in-restaurant promotion, Burger King Corp. /quotes/comstock/13*!bkc/quotes/nls/bkc (BKC 18.16, +0.03, +0.17%) announced that the brand will sustain momentum with Summit Entertainment and sponsor the third installment in the Studio’s film series, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” Fans of the hit “Twilight Saga” film series can expect more exclusive access to the property from Burger King Corp. in conjunction with the theatrical release of the movie on June 30, 2010.

“‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ promotion was a tremendous success, with our guests eager to get their bite of the property through exclusive merchandise offered at BURGER KING(R) restaurants,” said Cindy Syracuse, senior director, cultural marketing, Burger King Corp. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Summit Entertainment for the third film, ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.'”

The Burger King Project placement in New Moon was fairly subtle as these things go. It was a Burger King bag placed on top of the trashcan outside the movie theater where Bella, Jake, and Mike all go to the movies.

From what the Lexicon staff understands, Volvo will also continue to be a sponsor in Eclipse. There is no word on whether Virgin Atlantic will continue in its role as a sponsor.

Hollywood Crush: New Remember Me Clip

There’s also a huge fan undertaking for Remember Me called Remember Me Saturday.
“As some of you might already know, we started a campaign to help the film Remember Me called Remember Me Saturday. The basic plan is to push for this National Fan Event on Saturday, March 13th due to the fact that Friday and Saturday are the days weekend box office estimates are based on. Sunday still counts, of course, but for perception and reporting, Friday and Saturday are the golden days. Seeing as every fan will already be seeing Remember Me on Friday, Saturday became the day chosen to hold this fan campaign and try to make a difference with the box office receipts.The idea is for fans to go back on Saturday March 13th and take their family and friends (or anyone they know!) and go see Remember Me again.”

Twilight Fans Brave the Cold

It’s one thing to camp out to see the Twilight actors in Los Angeles. Even in November, you don’t have to worry about brutal temperatures and snow. It get to be maybe 50 degrees at night, and given usual weather patterns, even rain is iffy. However camping out for the BAFTAs or for Remember Me requires dedication on a whole new level.

According to OK and reports we grabbed from the RPAtzNewsTwitter fans lined up for the BAFTAs over 24 hours early in brutal 28 degree temperatures. That’s a bit nippy even for the UK. With the Remember Me premiere in New York City a week from today one can only imagine how many will line up all bundled up. Temperatures on a New York City sidewalk in February are going to be daunting at best.

OK Magazine writes:

“Hysterical Twi-hards slept overnight outside the Royal Opera House in London to secure their place alongside the red carpet after learning that four of the film’s stars would attend.

And as the first to arrive, Anna Kendrick received one heck of a reception as she signed posters and photographs.

She was followed by Jamie Campbell Bower, who – after chatting with fans – spent most of his time alongside girlfriend Bonnie Wright.

Kristen Stewart was next to arrive and spent more time with the fans than anyone, making sure she could give out as many autographs as she could.

Last to arrive was Robert Pattinson, who was greeted by screams and chants of: “We want Rob!” coming from the sidelines.

After arriving late, Robert didn’t spend long signing autographs and was quickly ushered inside to take his seat before he could reach the rest of the crowd.”

OK has a great video of the arrivals and fans.

Kristen seemed genuinely stunned and appreciative of the award thanking Twilight fans and her family.

Noel Clarke, last year’s winner who plays Mickey on Dr. Who, was able to talk to Kristen backstage after presenting her with the award. Noel was last year’s winner. Kristen, in keeping with tradition, will most likely present the award to next year’s winner.

Kristen is the first American woman to ever win the award. (Photo gallery here)Since its inception only one other American, Shia Labeouf, has ever received the award.
