Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie Premieres August 28, 2009
Just a few days ago I found the press release about the Wizards of Waverly Place show having a special series of four episodes airing every Friday starting July 24, 2009. Now today Disney released another press release related to the Wizards of Waverly Place. This release is about the upcoming full length Disney Channel Original Movie based on the show. This is a movie I have sort of know about for a while and originally I thought it would come out as part of Wiztober 2009 or whatever they are calling the October lineup this year. Instead, though, it is coming out a little more than a month before I expected with a premiere date of August 28, 2009.
The movie is simply called Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie. In the movie the Russo family goes on vacation to the Caribbean. While on vacation Alex accidentally casts a spell that changes the past so that her parents never met and they do not recognize their kids because the three of them would not exist if their parents never met. They (I think just the Russo kids) go on an adventure quest to find the Stone of Dreams that is hidden in the jungle in order to reverse the spell and save their family.
Leading up the movie premiere Selena Gomez (Monday), Jake T. Austin (Tuesday), Jennifer Stone (Wednesday), and David Henrie (Thursday) will share their favorite four episodes of the show starting at 6pm Eastern Time/Pacific Time Monday, August 24, 2009, through Thursday, August 27, 2009. The 16 episodes will all then reair starting at 12pm on Friday, August 28, and lead up to the movie premiering at 8pm Eastern Time/Pacific Time.
The movie will have two encore presentations the weekend it premieres. On Saturday, August 29, 2009, the encore presentation will feature behind-the-scenes features about the movies special effects. The Sunday, August 30, 2009, encore presentation will include sneak peeks of upcoming episodes of the show.
