(PRWEB) November 12, 2009 -- Tourism chiefs at UK seaside resort Blackpool have launched a sequel to their romantic J’aime La Tour film – the award winning hit viral watched by millions of TV and YouTube viewers about a Lancashire lad and a chic French girl who fell in love in a Blackpool which cleverly stood in for Paris.

Tourism bosses at the UK sea side resort were inundated by viewer requests to find out what happens to the ‘hot pot’ couple, and have released the sequel – Love From Blackpool - this month, which sees the lead character make one of the best wedding proposals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnu80X0cK4M) ever to his beloved French girlfriend Valerie.

The film follows Valerie on an unforgettable night out which shows off some of the seaside destination’s most romantic nightspots and Blackpool Hotels. “Love From Blackpool” takes a romantic view of the evening and has a very cool wedding proposals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnu80X0cK4M) ‘twist’ at the end.

Helen France, executive director for tourism and regeneration at Blackpool Council says: “The first viral really made people think about Blackpool in a new light and made local heroes out of the characters. This new film not only carries on where the first one left off, but also shows visitors they can enjoy a romantic night out here.”

Continues Helen, “This new film shows the next stage of Valerie and Frank’s relationship and we hope it will be just as popular as the iconic British Gold Blend coffee commercial.”

Peter Mearns, Executive Director of Marketing and Communications at the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), added: “Blackpool is changing and we hope that this new film will encourage even more people to discover the new Blackpool. And with Blackpool Illuminations in full swing and the school holiday crowds abating, it’s the perfect time for a romantic short break in the resort.”

Mike Wilkinson, Chief Executive of the Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board, said: “We hope that this modern mini-drama playing-out on the internet rather than TV will help reveal a new Blackpool through Frank and Valerie’s fresh eyes.”

The film was commissioned by visitBlackpool, the NWDA and Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board, produced by SKV Communications (http://www.skvcommunications.co.uk) and written by SKV’s Daniel Kennedy.
