TL Daily was interviewed by the Knoxville News-Sentinal, for their upcoming story about Twilight fans and their reaction to "New Moon" premiering in Knoxville. For me personally, the news was quite unexpected. I assumed it would take place in Los Angeles, just like it did last year.
There also seems to be a little confusion about whether "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" will have more than one "premiere." Last year Twilight had fundraiser premieres and THE premiere in Los Angeles. The writer said he will try to clear this up in his next article.
In regards to the date of the premiere and the stars attending, nothing has been confirmed. TL Daily called Variety - The Children's Charity of Eastern Tennessee and learned that they hope to finalize the details in the next 30-60 days. Variety is also trying to come up with a package so that devoted Twilight fans will have the ability to buy tickets.
UPDATE: New information available as of 7/24/09
How do you feel about the premiere in Knoxville? Will you try to attend?
