I live in Knoxville and my friends and I are planning to buy tickets to this if they are reasonably priced for the public. It's not nice of you guys to say "WTF - Why Knoxville?" -- The Pinnacle is one of the biggest theaters around, and it's for a charity. Many celebrities have come here to promote their movies and raise money for a good children's cause. Tennessee isn't just a bunch of redneck hicks who are unintelligent, so please hold your judgements. I hope some of you who are close can come and join in this great premiere!

*claps wildly*

I'm just a few hours west of you, Nicole, in Nashville. Thanks for sticking up for the hometown.

That wasn't my first impression. I have huge respect for TN because of Nashville and whatnot.

I just think it's an odd choice considering those early premieres tend to be NY or Hollywood. But if it's for a good cause then hey, have fun! :) Lucky ducks, you people are!

I live in Knoxville too! Thanks for sticking up for us against the usual annoying stereotype, but in this particular case I don't think you really even needed to. I didn't notice any comments dissing our city on this post yet and honestly my own first thought when I read this post was "WTF? Seriously?". Even though Pinnacle is massive and premieres have been held there before (I distinctly remember Jessica Alba being here for one of her movies a couple years ago), its still pretty unsual for us to have a premiere as huge as New Moon will be. That said, I'm super excited, shocked, but excited and really can't wait to get more details!

I am also from Knoxville and thank you Nicole for sticking up for the home town!! I am so excited and hope to be able to make it also!! :)

I'm in Knoxville, too, and I thought it was a bit odd, but you have to remember Regal Cinemas is headquartered in Knoxville. They do an event like this every year, I've just never really cared about the movies they were showing before. I'm soooooo going to this 1 tho! ^_^

thanks for standing up for tN(:
my birthday is about a month before this, so i could ask for tickets for my birthday,:) that would be awesome. im in nashville, only a few hours away,
i could take off school for a few days for this, :D

don't worry they would say the same of any other places, why? for plain jealousy, we just want our places to be the ones, but it is impossible for them to go to every single place around the world.

yay! i represent johnson city and i WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE!! :)

OK who drives!!!!

thanks for sticking up for us!!! i go to UT Knox so i'm really excited about this!!!

Hey i live like 7 hours from there and would really like to go....but if you have to be there in person to buy the tickets =( would any of you guys who live in knoxville be willing to buy 3 tickets for me? I'd pay you back like immediately, i just can't get there to buy the tickets in person =(. If so that would be GREAT!!! please let me know...thanks a bunch!

Come to Miami!!!

Oooh...I could so do a roadtrip to TN!!

Hell yes!!

Now, give me more info so I can plan more acurately!! LOL

well, you guys are at least closer than me :(((
anybody who wants to travel with me from europe :?
anyway... ->
Effing, I'm coming with you!! ;D

Okay!!
 
The more the merrier!! .....but be warned, I sing in the car - ALOT....
 
lol

Ahaha don't worry -> you've found the right person.. (I sing, too...)

But we should gather more people ;)) For the fun of course..

*can't wait for november*

lol :P

Effing & Ralie: I sing too!!! Too bad I'm driving up from FL. :( Anyone on here from FL???

It looks like we're gonna be one hell of a band :D:D

With a little luck, we may even make it into the 'Eclipse' soundtrack;D

*sighs*

;PP :))

Sweet! Gotta warm up my vocals then. Don't want you guys to put me to shame *clears throat and starts to vocalize* LOL :D

Ahah you're not the only one who will be put to shame :D I suggest we rehearse before we go on the road... We don't want to disappoint the cast, right? Especially, the male part of it... :D

*drinks hot tea for soft voice* rofl :D

You got a point. Rehearse we must! Make sure you put honey in that tea. Hey, it's what most singers do so it can't hurt right?

*does mental chant of "must impress the hunks, must impress the hunks*
ROFL

That's right ;PP And yes - there's always honey.. ;)

I just hope that Effing is OK with the plan.. After all, she's the one with the car, right?

*keeps fingers crossed*
;P

I LOVE Tennesse!

Take that Italy! Looks like the US sees it on the 18th too!...although theres still the time difference which technically makes them first still...

Let's drive it Scarletl...it's 12 hours from D-town...meet me and we'll go!

GOOD PLAN!!!!

I wonder if I can pull it off???

I sure as heck hope so...if you can make it to my area we can hop in my car and go really fast to Tennessee!!!

Thinking of all the screaming 13 year olds that will be there is kind of a turn off, but...Rob...that's a turn ON!

WHAT?!?!!? I'm sorry but that makes absolutely NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

i agree

regal cinemas corporate office is in knoxville.

http://www.regmovies.com/corporate/aboutus.aspx

THANK GOD. ANYBODY WANNA TAKE ME THERE, FEEL FREE! :)

Woohoo!
New Moon helping a charity!

All I can say is - WTF?????

Tennessee is just a state over!! I could make that trip!!

ahhh me too me too! i would love to go but it would border on ridiculous... even though they are a neighboring state it would still take a lonnnnng time to drive there. :(

*yep just checked: SEVEN HOUR DRIVE!!! AGHHHH!

Awww how awesome!!! Come to California and I'll go even more than the hundreds of times I was planning on watching the movie!! Ahh road trip anyone?? Wooh that's so nice of them... gooo NM... charity is always a blessing!!
*chants*
Road trip... road trip.... road trip..... wooo!

i'm in for a road trip

Leeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttssssssssssssss Goooo... LOL!!

why knoxville wtf out of all the states in the wolrd its tenn. no offense to anyone i dont see why its there it should be in forks where this beautiful thing started but it is a small place or maybe just in la
oh well

forks got to be represented in the movie...is that not enough? Knoxville is AWESOME. Best big city in the south, we are as suprised as everyone else but its about time something BIG comes here!

I am so going to NM's premiere in my country no matter how much that ticket costs.

Sweet I am right there close to Tennessee

Dont think I could get away with a Roadtrip to America...

"Seeya later mum thanks for looking after Evie I'll be back after I've watched the film"

I think she would notice when I didnt come back after a few hours!

Oh well, I'l just have to be extremely patient and wait for it to come out in the UK a whole WEEK after the US release!

Me too, guess we can't come to this site in a week, these girls will post spoilers all over the place :D

Guess it's a time zone thing...i live in Portugal :D

I live in TN......I'm really shocked but excited they would come here....I live about 4 hrs away...I hope I get to go...that would be awesome!!

i no nothin big in knoxville except the sunsphere I'm not gonna get excited yet... until there are more deats

I wonder if those stupid Black Pawn Movement Twilight hater guys that make fun of everyone will show up. They supposedly live close by...

I sure wish I lived close enough to go.. LOL
I hope they make lots of money for charity!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read this in the paper this morning!!!!!

It's definitely worth 8 hour drive! =)

I hope that they sell enough tickets for the public! That'd be amazing!

I wanna meet Taylor Lautner (and Rob and Kristen too, of course!)

Awwww Well I guess ROADTRIP you guys.Lets all hop on and I ll drive you over there.We can listen to the Twilight Soundtrack all day long on the way there :)))))

I live in Gallatin Tn, only two hours away :). I'm soooooooooo there!!!

OMG!!!Im so excited.i live an hour away from knoxville.i was as shocked as everybody else when i found out that it was comming here.I found out early though.One of my friends is the manager there.He told me tickets are 75 bucks.Im going for sure.And im draging my hubby with me.lol.Some of my friends are going to.Its gonna be fun!!!

lol 75! seriously!!! dayum!!

for discounted like if you work at regal its 75. but if you dont then its like 125. cause my bffs mom works at regal in knoxville and ya. lol

thats still way cheaper than I had imagined, knowing its for charity and all, wow maybe I can actually afford to go! I'm only 45 minutes away from Turkey creek so I think I'll at least try.

Ohhh!! **claps excitedly**
That's close to Ohio!!! Road trip anyone?

How amazing would it be to see the movie two days before the rest of the world. I would feel so AWEsome!! :)

Dude I'm from Ohio too!!!!
Road Trip!!!!

Oh yeah!!
I've got the car, you bring the beer and we'll be ready to go. lol :)

lol ok wat part of Ohio? lol is only 6hrs from where I live lol

If it's for a charity, why not in more cities or countries on the same date??? Please???

Ok, if this turns out to be true it will be soooo freakin' SWEET! I can drive up to TN from FL. I LOVE road trips! Woohoo! *dancing cuz I'm sooo excited*

Awesome! I live five minutes away from this movie theatre and my hubby works there too!

uuhhh. i live in freaking California..
and this doesn't even make sense to me. why Tennessee?

there is nothing wrong with tennessee. everyone just thinks its a southern state and we are all hillbillys because of the hannah montana movie and such. its becaus regals cinemas where the corporate headquarters.

no, i didn't mean it like that. i don't think it's wrong or anything.
it's just that big movies like New Moon always have premieres in either Los Angeles or New York.
it's not the usual thing, you know.

my birthday is november 18...
too bad knoxville is too far away from my hometown! :/
but at least its for a good cause. :)
i think its great that they are doing this for charity!

It's awesome news that Breaking Dawn will me made. Seeing that all the Directors for the first 3 movies will be in post-production, I think the best director to take charge of Breaking Dawn is Peter Jackson. I'm sure you all know who that is. He was the director who directed the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The trilogy was awesome. The effects they had in that movie was awesome. The computer generated animation was awesome. Peter Jackson definitely knows something about CGI work.

Whoops...sorry. Wrong area to put my comment in...lol.

OMG Im soooo excited I live like 5 mins away and go to that movies all the time!! I cant believe they would chose knoxville!!!

Regal Entertainment Group --the largest theater group in the country is based out of Knoxville. That's why we often get cool charity movie premieres here. Knoxville is actually a really cool university town--not the stereotypical southern city.

OMG!!! I live like in Alabama sooooooo i can probably go! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

I'm in Alabama, too! 350 Miles at the MOST!

4 hours, or 6 hours, depending on my choice of route. Going through Georgia, to Tennessee. Me and my bro, or a family trip? It would be fun. Lots of begging to do, though.

The reason for this being in Knoxville is because that is where the corporate headquarters of Regal Cinemas is.

Knoxville is where Regal Cinemas were created... so it makes perfect sense

WHOAH!! my bro is attending the university in Knoxville.. may have to call up my brother.. HMM...

*contemplating*

Knoxville here i come!!!!!!!... hope i can get time off from work..... I'll just tell them I'm sick...lol

OMG...I am only like an hour away from Knoxville. This is so awesome. I will most DEFINITELY be makin my way down to Knoxville!!!!! =D

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! I never thought the twilight cast would EVER come to knoxville, and I LIVE THERE!!!!!!! IM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!

I KNOW ME TOO!!!!!!!!!! :D AAAAHHHHH IM IN KNOXVILLE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!! I Live in Knoxville and My birthday is 20 days before the premier!! I AM SOOO EXCITED! This is the best birthday present EVER!!!!

OK...*google mapped this s**t*...12 hours isn't so bad, 908 glorious miles of nothing...

Knoxville?? WTF?!??!

COUNT ME IN!!!

LOL. i live an hour and a half away. you can come stay with me and we'll just jet on over! ;)

LOL, thanks for the invite!!! I need all the details from Summit now so I can decide if I really want to go and request the vacation off of work...uh, the suspense!

my students will be sooooooooo jealous!!!!! I will tell them I will get pictures for them ..... NOT lol

OMG!!! i live 15 minutes away (cause i live in knoxville) from da theatre!!!! im soooooo going!!!!!!!! im soooooooooooo excited!!!!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I LIVE AN HOUR AWAY FROM KNOXVILLE OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

omggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i live like twenty five seconds from here! now i cant breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

o.o
this is the first time I'm kinda happy about moving to TN
totally gonna be there haha it's like, five seconds from my house. xD

omg! i would so fly to TN for this if I were not unemployed and broke!

Why cant they do it in LA ? Its ridiculous !

uh, cause every freakin other premiere is in LA or NYC so get over it already.

I'm from Knoxville! ilive live 8 minutes away from the Pinnacle!

I'm in Knoxville.
I'm a twilightmom
Reneem1

Can't wait.

(they also premiered : Duke of Hazzard & Talladega Nights here too..Stars came!
Gotta love Charity!

WHAT?! I GO TO TURKEY CREEK ALL OF THE TIME!!!! I LIVE NEAR THERE! I'M SO THERE!

I represent Bristol and Johnson City! WOO! I am going to camp out for those tickets that go on sale in September!

wish i lived there :( but i hope they make lots of money for the charity :D

Omg I'm soo pissed I used to live in Maryville TN which is like 15 miles south of Knoxville now I live like 900 miles away.I'm so jelous of you guys that live in Knoxville or surrounding areas you will be able to go to the premiere and if you are lucky see some of them...::(((

I live in KY which isn't that far away !! Any idea when the tickets go on sale in september ??

Okay, I have it planned out, and my Parents are amazing. My mom said that if I make all A's and B's this year, that she'll go camp out there for me to get tickets. If I continue to make good grades, then I can skip school for a couple of days and go camp out for the premiere. I am so excited. I think this is really great that they chose a smaller town to do this in, and it's truly a gift from God that is close to me and so many other Twilighters.

dig it!

I live in Knoxville. And I was soooo excited to hear that new moon would be at the pinnacle.....until i read all these comments about the people who think they are cool to take a trip down here and we will have all the tourists and they will think they can use our movie theatre.....but about the post what the heck is "of all places" supposed to mean? ITs flipping AWESOME THAT IT WILL BE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! I mean CA and NYC probably get a lot of premieres like this.

live 35 minutes away hopefully i can get tickets. hey tn is good .

can i get a holy hel yes ladies new moon is coming to knoxville woohoo im so excited i cant wait. if you hear of the crazy fan that passes out and hopefuly on rob its me lmao.

We are travelling in from Nashville! Hell Yes! I am sooo damn excited!

WHAT IS "OF ALL PLACES" I MEAN COME ON!!!!! you think we are some stupid country freaks and we are not like that at all!!!!!! so get some freaking manners and respect and put it to good use!!!!!!!! ok so the Pinnacle got Miley Cyrus. *BOO* she is no fun at all. i mean who cares. those were little kids being happy not the cool people.. its just sooo not cool that these corn muffins can be all like WHOO HOO ROAD TRIP!!! first of all you have to BUY THEM IN PERSON!!! ok next they go on sale before the premier. so then they will prolly go on sale like a month before and what are you gunna do for a month stay in a hotel??? and ur wanting to spend a ton of $ for a hotel and food for a month and its not gunna work. ok you will get the premier in CA and NYC so. STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!! mmk are we clear!!! i believe we are... and if your close to knoxville east tn even you can be allowed to come. cause you are TN ppl but if you are no where close to TN dont even think about it. i dont care if you are in another state and have family here.. so if you see a lot of girls who are giving you looks itll be me and my friends. ok. cause we are all going. and every1 who lives in knoxville will prolly get tickets before you even get gas to come here. and you cant get them mailed so dont even try to get friends to get them for you. it wont work... thats all i have to say.. (btw im pissed if you havent guessed.)

So I am totally excited about this.....I only live like an hour and a half away from Knoxville, well Turkey Creek at least. I am so going to try my hardest to get tickets to this. I am so glad that they are doing this to benefit charity. Its about time we get something worth going to see at the Pinnacle 18. Can't wait to see all my Tennesseans out there.......

I live in Knoxville too! I have actually been trying to get a job at Pinnacle because I watch so many movies there, this is just all the more reason to get the job! One of my really good friend's dad is a head guy at the Knoxville Regal so I am going to try to get him to get his dad to pull some strings haha... Pinnacle is awesome and there have been stars come out for these events like, Brendan Fraiser, Dane Cook, Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville (even though he is from Knoxville lol) Sean William Scott, Will Ferrell, etc... all of them have stars out front on the sidewalk... the tickets usually aren't more than $100 for these events for it should be affordable for any twilight fan haha... and it all goes to the Children's Hospital so that makes it all the more worth it... I hope all the stars come out for it that would be great... Maybe they will head to Bar Knox for the after party... glad I'm 23! lol

Its going to be so hard to get tickets though, they only have so many for the public and the rest are for sponsor packages. We will have to get there like really early to make sure we get tickets. Its really awesome that they are doing this for the childrens hospital, they could really use the money. I wonder if you don't get tickets if you can still come out and meet the stars. Because if I can't get them I still wanna see whoever comes out.

ya i know. if not then i would be so sad. and i would just have to push some ppl out of the way. cause thats prolly whats gunna happen... lol :D

I know right lol!!!!!!! I would really love to actually meet them, but I would be ok with being there and just seeing them walk in. I am so excited, I can't wait. I guess we will have to get there super early.

Bahaha, I live like 2 exits over from Turkey Creek. Suck it, New York & LA.

i think it rocks that alot of people are actually being nice to us east tennesseans and those of you who don't like the fact that we are getting the premier its just because your jealous and plus you are also mad because you can't buy the tickets off the net and your just mad about it i am going to the premier with my friends in a limo which is just going to be so awsome i love the fact that new moon is coming to knoxville,tn because thats my home town and thats like when october sky was shot here in knoxville and also other places but, the whole cool thing about it is when i got to meet the cast of that movie ...
