The first ever ‘World Wolf Premiere’ was hosted at Longleat Safari Park. A pack of wolves watched their counterparts in action on the big screen for the DVD & Blu-ray release of the 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon.' The vampire vs. werewolf sequel was previewed on a 16 sqm screen in one of the country’s only wolf enclosures by film company E1 Entertainment.
While 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.
A howling success (sorry)...
