NOV. 4 | DIGITAL: Eagle One Media is launching a digital motion comic biography of Twilight franchise author Stephenie Meyer, tying into the Nov. 20 theatrical bow of the next movie in the franchise, New Moon.
Twilight: Unbound—The Stephenie Meyer Story can be downloaded now at iTunes, as well as from mobile phone services Nokia’s Ovi Store and Android’s Marketplace. It will roll out shortly to Amazon Video On Demand and CinemaNow.
Billed as an unofficial Meyer biography, the motion comic explores her background in Connecticut and Utah and eventual rise to Twilight fame. A video clip can be viewed below.
The motion comic features the story line, art and dialog from the Twilight comic book just released by Bluewater Productions.
Eagle One has already released motion comics featuring Capcom game Street Fighter and anime TV series Voltron: Defender of the Universe.
Twilight has been repromoted due to the upcoming theatrical run of the sequel, and the original movie reclaimed the position as top video-on-demand rental.
New Moon's theatrical bow is being promoted by Blockbuster, which will hold screenings in select cities.
