 LOS ANGELES (New Line Cinema) - New Line Cinema and Milton Bradley are teaming up to host a unique Twister Contest on Feb. 14 at 4pm at the Children's Museum of Manhattan (CMOM). The event is inspired by a memorable scene in the upcoming family comedy "Son of the Mask" in which Alan Cumming's character plays a wild game of Twister, contorting in a variety of moves with the help of the magical Mask. "Son of the Mask" stars Jamie Kennedy and Alan Cumming will be on hand to participate in the festivities, along with children who have won promotions through the New York Post and WPLJ-FM and patrons of the Children's Museum. In addition to hosting this special event at CMOM, New Line will donate $5,000 to the museum which will go towards CMOM's public programs, helping to make high quality entertainment and art and science workshops accessible to children of all means. About "Son of the Mask": A decade after the legendary Mask of Loki wreaked havoc on the life of an unsuspecting adult, the magical mask finds its way into a new home in the family comedy "Son of the Mask." When cartoonist Tim Avery's (Jamie Kennedy) new son is born with the Mask's spectacular powers - to the dismay of the family's jealous dog - it turns the household upside down and launches a kid versus canine battle for control of the Mask. But unbeknownst to them all, Loki has come looking for his mask and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it back. Featuring incredible special effects work from the Academy Award-winning Industrial Lights and Magic team and Tippett Studio, "Son of the Mask" is directed by Lawrence Guterman ("Cats & Dogs"). The film also features a talented ensemble cast that includes Alan Cumming, Bob Hoskins, and Traylor Howard. It is scheduled for a Feb. 18 release.
