There are so many bogus Twilight related casting scams out there that we are happy to announce one that is actually for real. So, if you live in the immediate New York City area, you are in luck. Summit has verified that it is legit and it is for Burger King. According to the official information that is being done through the group actor cast:

“In anticipation of the new movie “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” an open call hosted on ActorCast.com is looking for the biggest Edward fans and the biggest Jacob fans out there. We want you to tell us why you’re on Team Jacob or why you’re on Team Edward.

Convince us. Prove to us why Edward or Jacob is the right choice for Bella. Or why Edward or Jacob is just simply your personal favorite. It can be because you think Edward is Bella’s true love. Or because you know some super obscure fact about Jacob that makes you like him more. We just want your honest feelings.

ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE FREE AND MUST BE RECEIVED BY MIDNIGHT, May 12, 2010 YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OLD TO SUBMIT AND LIVE IN THE TRI-STATE AREA OF NY, NJ OR CT OR WITHIN REASONABLE DRIVING DISTANCE OF NEW JERSEY OR CONNECTICUT.”

Burger King first connected to the Twilight movies with New Moon and according to the Wall Street Journal’s Market Watch, it was a huge success. Get full instructions here on how to submit your entry!

According to The Wall Street Journal’s The Market Watch, Burger King is back on board for Eclipse.

“On the heels of its highly successful “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” in-restaurant promotion, Burger King Corp. /quotes/comstock/13*!bkc/quotes/nls/bkc (BKC 18.16, +0.03, +0.17%) announced that the brand will sustain momentum with Summit Entertainment and sponsor the third installment in the Studio’s film series, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” Fans of the hit “Twilight Saga” film series can expect more exclusive access to the property from Burger King Corp. in conjunction with the theatrical release of the movie on June 30, 2010.

“‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ promotion was a tremendous success, with our guests eager to get their bite of the property through exclusive merchandise offered at BURGER KING(R) restaurants,” said Cindy Syracuse, senior director, cultural marketing, Burger King Corp. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Summit Entertainment for the third film, ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.'”

The Burger King Project placement in New Moon was fairly subtle as these things go. It was a Burger King bag placed on top of the trashcan outside the movie theater where Bella, Jake, and Mike all go to the movies.

From what the Lexicon staff understands, Volvo will also continue to be a sponsor in Eclipse. There is no word on whether Virgin Atlantic will continue in its role as a sponsor.

Ever since the Burger King street team was handing out Team Edward and Team Jacob crowns at Comic Con (photo via Robert Pattinson.com), people have been speculating what exactly would the franchise be doing. Frankly, we had visions of mothers wrenching toy Volvo’s from kids meals out of their children’s hands, teens pretending to order a kids meal for an invisible young sibling. Well it turns out the deal is a little different. According to Burger King:

“For fans hungry for another bite of the “Twilight” film franchise, Burger King Corp. is revealing a few details of what will be available in participating BURGER KING® restaurants nationwide this November as part of its multi-faceted “New Moon” promotion. A special gift of holiday value, which guests will receive free (while supplies last) with the purchase of a BK BURGER SHOTS® six pack value meal, will be packed full with “New Moon” merchandise offers, retail coupons and collectible cards. Additionally, a series of limited-edition “New Moon”-themed BK® Crown Cards featuring stars from the film are available for purchase at BURGER KING® restaurants and online at www.bkcrowncard.com. Once acquired, these collectible gift cards, which have a $5 minimum limit, can be loaded at BURGER KING® restaurants nationwide. These exclusive items are just a glimpse of what will be offered in BURGER KING® restaurants and are sure to be a hit with “Twilight” fans looking for hot gifts this holiday season. More information will be revealed in early November when the promotion launches in BURGER KING® restaurants nationwide.

“Curiosity among fans has continued since our exclusive ‘New Moon’-themed BK® Crowns hit the Comic-Con scene in San Diego in late July,” said Cindy Syracuse, senior director, cultural marketing, Burger King Corp. “While full promotional details are still to come, we can confirm that beginning Nov. 16, BURGER KING® restaurants will offer guests access to a number of limited-edition, movie-themed offers and merchandise.”
