The Highly-Awaited, Final Installment of Star Wars Heats Up Premiere's May Issue

"A lot of my life has been wrapped up in this one thing. I can walk away from this now 'cause I feel it's the best I could do ... this is the film that people want to see," says Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith Director George Lucas of his blockbuster film, which is expected to be the highest-grossing and most anticipated film of the summer season. Premiere's May issue, on sale nationwide today, takes an in-depth look into the end of the Star Wars story, which concludes a saga that began nearly 30 years ago. Talks with the entire cast including cover boy Hayden Christensen about the challenges he's faced since taking the role of everyone's favorite villain are featured in this blowout issue.

"It's clear that not only sentiment about this being the last Star Wars movie is at work here -- how Anakin becomes Darth is primal stuff, and Episode III looks like the real deal," comments Premiere Editor-in-Chief Peter Herbst.
In addition to Star Wars fever, Premiere's annual "Ultimate Summer Movie Preview" highlights the summer's hottest tickets and can't miss features. Batman, Willy Wonka and a pimp who gains a conscious are amongst the movies characters that are sure to sizzle on the big screen. The magazine also fearlessly predicts the top ten moneymakers.

Dreamworks, the movie studio headed by Steven Spielberg and other big media moguls, Television has signed cereal and snacks maker Kellogg's to create treats and goodies based on its movies. Under the agreement Kellogg's gets exclusive rights to make cereals and other tasty breakfast foods based on Dreamworks movies including Shrek 3 and Madagascar 2. Kellogg's will be responsible for promoting the foods, and therefore the movies, via in-store, TV and online ads. Kellogg's is just four years into what was supposed to be a 15-year agreement to do just this kind of thing for Disney but that deal's fate is now uncertain. Kellogg's is unlikely to create product for two movies from competing studios, after all. Sales of the Disney movie-themed snacks were moderate at best.
