Edi Gathegi To Introduce Catherine Hardwicke

The signing with Catherine Hardwicke on March 17th just got a whole lot more interesting! This just in from Summit:

SPECIAL GUEST AND COSTUME CONTEST ANNOUNCED FOR CATHERINE HARDWICKE MARCH 17th EVENT

We are excited to confirm that actor Edi Gathegi (Laurent) will serve as our special guest Master of Ceremonies at Catherine’s launch event for Twilight: Director’s Notebook.

Want to show off your best Laurent impression?  What about Victoria or James?  We will be holding a special costume contest for the Twilight nomads (Laurent, Victoria and James) at the event – the winners of the contest will get to go up on stage and be directed in a scene by Catherine herself!  Ticketed attendees who wish to participate in the costume contest will need to arrive at Barnum Hall no later than 6pm the day of the event.
