``27 DRESSES'' + 27 LIVE STANDEES + 27 Locations + December 27 = 1 Movie Promotion ``First'' for New Romantic Comedy Starring Katherine Heigl LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--Forget the life-size cardboard cutouts you see at your local movie emporiums. For its upcoming romantic comedy "27 DRESSES," Twentieth Century Fox is bringing a new dimension to film promotions. The studio is introducing the first-ever LIVE STANDEES - 27 models at 27 specially-selected locations across the country, wearing specially-made bridesmaid dresses adorned with the film's title and credits. (The dresses were inspired by the film's poster, in which star Katherine Heigl wears the special garb.) The date of this history-making event? That would be December...27, when the studio holds sneak previews of the movie at selected theaters. Katherine Heigl is always a bridesmaid but never a bride in the romantic comedy 27 DRESSES. From the screenwriter of "The Devil Wears Prada," 27 DRESSES centers on Jane (Heigl), an idealistic, romantic and completely selfless woman...a perennial bridal attendant whose own happy ending seems nowhere in sight. But when younger sister Tess captures the heart of Jane's boss - with whom she is secretly in love - Jane begins to reexamine her "always-a-bridesmaid...." lifestyle. She gets help - and maybe something more - from a cynical journalist with whom she seemingly has nothing in common. "27 DRESSES" opens everywhere January 11, 2008.
