“Twi-hards” who have DIRECTV won’t even have to leave the
comfort of their own living rooms to be one of the first to see
last fall’s box office phenomenon, The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In
conjunction with the highly anticipated DVD release of the movie by
Summit Entertainment, DIRECTV will offer a midnight premiere of the
movie on Saturday, March 20 on DIRECTV Cinema. In addition,
customers who purchase the Pay Per View movie will also receive
behind-the-scenes bonus features about the film – not available on

In addition to being able to see teen heartthrobs Robert
Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) and Kristen
Stewart (Bella Swan) in crystal-clear 1080p HD, DIRECTV customers
will also have access to the bonus featurette The Subtle Details,
which offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at New Moon’s
production design, costuming and more. DIRECTV customers will also
receive Chris Weitz Takes the Helm, a feature that documents the
transition from Catherine Hardwicke, director of Twilight, to New
Moon director Chris Weitz, and his vision of the future of the
series.

in-home movie experience they can’t find anywhere else,” said Sarah
