FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Exclusive PREVIEW DVD to be included in House
WestBow Press Partners With Twentieth Century Fox home entertainment and Namesake Entertainment to Give Consumers Interactive Experience with Authors
(NASHVILLE, TN) Fiction publisher WestBow Press continues to stand out as an imprint that pioneers creative partnerships to bring the best in entertainment to its readers. This month WestBow will release the Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker co-authored thriller House. While the collaboration of these two best selling authors is major news in itself, Senior Vice President and Publisher Allen Arnold believed there were further opportunities with this project.
"Both Frank and Ted have been involved with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Namesake Entertainment productions," says Arnold. "Recently Peretti's The Visitation released on DVD and Dekker's Thr3e is in post-production. We had in front of us a terrific opportunity to partner with another entertainment group who also held our core values. I contacted Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment’s exclusive PR representative Elliott Wallach, President of Edify Media, to see what we could come up with, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome."
Consumers and retailers are sure to feel the same. Included in the back of each hardcover edition of House is an exclusive preview DVD created by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, which includes some pieces developed by Namesake Entertainment. The exciting content consists of The Visitation trailer, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Thr3e in Poland, and an interactive trivia game. This added value, at no additional cost to the consumer or retailer, is an innovative way to further bring the reader into the minds of Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker.
"We are very excited about this partnership," says Arnold. "Our imprint has always been about telling great stories. It was only natural that we would forge a relationship with a company who was also telling stories. We look forward to continuing to seek out new and creative ways to entertain the consumer."
This exclusive preview DVD will appear in the back of the first 250,000 copies of House. Namesake Entertainment has also purchased the rights to make the film version of House which will begin filming in Summer 2006.
