Pizza Hut, Warner Bros. Pictures Team Up to Send Lucky Fans to Terminator Salvation World Premiere
Announces Free Pizza for Anyone Named ‘Sarah Connor‘ or ‘John Connor‘

Dallas (April 6, 2009) — Known around the world for its iconic red roof, Pizza Hut is now sending fans to the red carpet. In a little over a month, one of Hollywood’s most anticipated movies of the year, Terminator Salvation, will hit the big screen, and Pizza Hut is teaming with Warner Bros. Pictures to send one lucky fan and a guest straight to Hollywood for the World Premiere. On April 6, Pizza Hut will launch an online promotion with Warner Bros. Pictures to support the May 21 release of Terminator Salvation. Pizza lovers and Terminator enthusiasts alike will have the chance to win the trip of a lifetime, or many other great prizes.

In addition to the online activities, Pizza Hut is showing its support of the human resistance by giving anyone named Sarah or John Connor a free pizza. On Thursday, May 21, all Sarah or John Connors can head to their local Pizza Hut restaurant to pick up the Salvation special – a free medium one-topping pizza. Just bring your government-issued I.D. to claim your free pizza.

Customers can enter to win at pizzahut.com from April 6 through May 4, 2009, for a chance to win the grand prize. After watching the premiere in Hollywood, the grand prize winner will also attend the official premiere after-party and get a behind-the-scenes tour of Warner Bros. Studios. Participants also have the chance to instantly win additional prizes. Instant win prizes will be awarded through May 30.

“In conjunction with Warner Bros., we’re teaming up with one the most popular action-movie characters ever created,” said Bob Kraut, marketing communications VP for Pizza Hut. “Pizza Hut’s iconic red Hut may not be as intimidating as the Terminator‘s red eye, but pizza and movies are time-tested favorites and we’re excited to offer this unique prize package.”

For those who don’t win the Grand Prize, there are still numerous chances to become a winner. Pizza Hut is also offering the following prizes, and every pizzahut.com customer receives a free download for a Terminator Salvation mobile wallpaper.

First Prize: One life-size replica of the T-600 Terminator from the film
Third Prize: Five Terminator Salvation-branded X-Box 360 consoles
Third Prize: Fifty Terminator Salvation prize packs including the Terminator Salvation video game, t-shirts, and collectibles
