Here’s an interesting article from MediaPost.com : Volvo Backs Star Turn With ‘Twilight: New Moon’
Volvo is launching an international promotion around “Twilight: New Moon,” the second installment of Summit Entertainment’s “Twilight” motion picture series, premiering on Nov. 20.
In the romance film, vampire Edward Cullen drives Volvo’s XC60 crossover. Volvo’s C30 3-door coupe was featured in the first movie, but this is the first of the films in which Volvo is actually marketing around the car’s star turn.
“It was a missed opportunity in the first film because the car had actually four minutes in the film, which is unheard of in product placement,” says Linda Gangeri, Volvo’s national advertising manager. “It did really well without us doing anything, so with the second film we worked with the studio to develop a global program.”
“What we have learned is these fans for this series are so fanatical that the minute you deviate from the story in any way they are not happy. All of the creative you see will be centered on the film, so the 30-second TV spot will use footage from the film that incorporates the car, and the online game is all about the story.” Volvo will host clips from the film on the Web site as well.
The film is the right property for Volvo, per Gangeri, because it skews young, and allows Volvo to get outside the “safety” envelope that has defined the brand for consumers for years.
“What happened with the C30 in the first ‘Twilight’ film was it drew interest among 20- to-30-year-olds and people who had never considered Volvo before,” she says. “And while the books started out appealing to a teen audience, it has grown exponentially. Women of all ages — they are reading the book. It does relate to what we are trying to do with brand, since we are perceived as ‘safe.’ This movie gives us an audience of people who haven’t acknowledged us before and lets us break out of the paradigm of being seen only as a safety brand.”
According to Gangeri, Volvo’s XC60 wasn’t brought into the movie through deal-making, but because author Stephenie Meyer’s brother suggested it. “He is very much a car nut; he was charged with deciding which characters drove what in the movie. The Volvo was chosen for Edward because he’s the hero — a protector who takes care of Bella, yet he wants to have something exciting and fast and fun,” she says.

[UPDATED] Twilight Coverage in Tokyo : Day 5 – Red Carpet
Okay, here’s the deal with Twilight’s Japan Red Carpet Premiere Event on the 27th of February. It’s a 3 part event that takes place concurrently – the Press Conference, the Red Carpet walk and the Fan Meeting. Its all done back to back so Aishah and I had to set up for each event to get the video footage as well as still photos. It was ultimately well organized and timely but the rain didn’t help much. But we managed to work with it though.
As for Robert, Kristen and Taylor – they were whisked off somewhere in the building each time and had to make a grand entrance at every event. I guess it just how things were done, and actually it made a great effect cos the audience were always different.
Note that Kristen had to change for each event and the guys didn’t have to, coz they were wearing suits which were appropriate for each event. As for Kristen, she had to change into the greek goddess white dress cos its more ‘red carpet’ (I think. 
) And lastly, at the Fan Meeting, she changed into the white t-shirt (tied at the side )and jeans ensemble that looked more casual for meeting the fans. But then again, the guys looked over-dressed for that event! Haha… But I don’t mind they look spanking in those suits!
It was raining lightly and we found all the fans who were in a line before were asked to assemble onto the plaza, and they were divided into 2 groups on both sides of the red carpet.
The Red Carpet (a wet one today!)
The fans seemed to be in the rain for some time judging by the complaints we heard and the expressions on their faces. But for the love of Twilight, come rain or shine..WE WILL BE THERE!
The fans were asked to keep their umbrellas as the main cast were about to arrive.
The first of 3 Volvo XC90s drives up to the red carpet. (Black for the boys and Red for Kristen)
Taylor steps out onto the red carpet.
He heads straight to the fans with that drop dead gorgeous smile!
Kristen then arrives and starts signing autographs for the fans. We see her for the first time in that lovely Beautiful greek goddess white flowing dress.
Time to play where’s Kristen and where’s Taylor?…
Roberto arrives as well!
They’ve reached the finish line… Phew! 
WOW! Oh my just look at the three of them…
Hmmmm… wonder what is Robert telling them?
Looks like Kristen’s giving her opinion on what Robert said..whatever it was…
A photographer at the press camp called out for Kristen to wave and be happy (I heard him!) - she smiled and waved back!
Apparently, a rush of wind blew by and Kristen got major shivers! Poor girl! Great that they just laughed it off! Believe me it was COLD & WET!! They were a class act too cos despite this they stayed quite a while on the red carpet to sign autographs for the fans!! Thank you guys!
They’ve been asked to go up to the Chateau Balcony. At this point, the cameras were instructed to move and we were all told to turn around. The cast makes their way up…
HAHA Now its Taylor’s turn… looks like he’s saying, “IT’S COOOLD!!!”
The cast thanking the fans for braving the cold to come and see them. The fans were screaming when they spoke…
Robert: Thank you guys for coming, you all were great!
Kristen: Hi! Thank you for coming! Thank you so much!
We love seeing Kristen looking so elegant here…
Taylor: Yes, hello! I want to thank you guys for coming and seeing us even in this nasty weather. But we’re having a lot of fun and thank you again guys!
The cast waves at their fans for the last time at the Red Carpet..
The cast when back into another building to get ready for the Fan Meeting event.
There is still the last part of our Day 5, that is the Fan Meeting. We still need to organise the photos and videos that will be featured in the Fan Meeting post.
We’ll see you guys again! 
Love,
MARIA & AISHAH.
[UPDATED 1st March 13:54 (Sin)] We’ve found more about who designed Kristen’s dresses worn at the Twilight Japan Premiere at Redcarpet-fashionawards.com.
Press Conference – “Kristen wore a very edgy Paule Ka black leather mini dress, with illusion straps, and a white origami detailed hem”
Red Carpet – She “wore a one shoulder white silk jersey gown by Parisian couturier Herve Leroux“….”swept lines, and the chiffon skirt. This really is an elegant gown”. Yaa…ha!!
[UPDATED] Twilight Coverage in Tokyo : Day 5 – Press Conference
HELLLO!!
Today we had fun and soo much excitement, and time flew by so fast [DARN IT!]. The cold day started with snow and we were worried that the weather would become worse. It stayed bad with rain instead, but the event was far from being cancelled. So Yahooo! We arrived at Ebisu Garden and took our place in the press queue.
It was c-cc-cold in the queue.
Press people busy with their set-up.
Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart’s names in Japanese.
Taylor Lautner’s name in Japanese. Me – Amongst the video camera crew.
Introduction of Twilight and the main cast.
Taylor, Kristen and Robert enters.
Taylor: Hello. I want to say thank you for having us here. I’m very excited. This is my first time to Japan and I’m loving it so far. And I would love to come back. So thanks for having us guys.
Kristen speaking in Japanese: Nihon-ni korarete totemo ureshii des. (Then she smiles! )
[UPDATED on 28th February 2009: Translation - I am very happy I can come to Japan! *Smiles*]
Robert: Kristen has beaten me once again. Thank you to Tokyo for being so accommodating for us. I hope the film does pretty well here and I’m having a great time in Tokyo. Mina-san Arigato!
[No pictures were allowed during the Press Conference - Questions and Answers session]
However, Twilight Singapore has an exclusive video footage of it which we will post for you once its been edited.
We managed to ask one question directed to all 3 of them!
After the questions and answers session, it was time for Photo-taking!
Group hug time!
There’s just something about this photo that we really like, but we just can’t seem to put our finger on it. Might be the way that the 3 of them are looking at different directions.
* Maria here.. I am sorry this picture is not ‘balanced’. Its cos I called Robert to look at my camera and when he did I got disarmed and took this picture…HAHA I know I am a dork but if he looked at you that way – you’ve done the same. I was dazzled!!*
We love the way they seem to be laughing away here.
The press conference ends here (LOOK OUT FOR THE FULL VIDEO COVERAGE!) and it was followed by the Red Carpet Event, and subsequently, the Fan Meeting. It has been a looong day and we will be posting the latter 2 as soon as we can.
See you guys soon!
Love,
AISHAH & MARIA.
PS. We will be flying back home on the A380 aircraft – the biggest plane in the world! AND, we’re going to watch Twilight which is in the in-flight movies this month!
