The Red Sox are hitting the silver screen.

If Boston Red Sox fans didn’t get enough highlights, hi-jinks, happiness and heartache during the 2003 baseball season, there’s more to glean from a new movie chronicling the unique relationship between the Sox and their fans.

A film that has been getting a lot of publicity in New England the last couple weeks, “Still, We Believe: The Boston Red Sox Movie,” will finally be opening in Maine theaters over the next two weeks. If reliving the agony and the ecstasy of the 2003 season can’t entice you to buy a ticket, publicists are hoping a contest promotion will.

Fans – primarily those in the Boston area, so you diehards will have to make it a road trip – will have the chance to enter a contest featuring prizes like an autographed Red Sox player jersey and autographed baseball. The grand prize includes four VIP seats to a Red Sox game, a Fenway Park tour, a chance to watch batting practice, dinner at the Fenway’s .406 Club, and an autographed jersey.

To enter, fans must mail in their theater ticket stubs for the movie along with personal contact information (name, address, phone number) by May 11 to: The Red Sox Movie Promotion, 398 Columbus Avenue, PMB 355, Boston, MA, 02116-6008. Winners will be announced May 14 on the www.kiss108.com web site.

The movie is schedule to open at selected New England theaters today. It will open in most major theaters nationwide May 21.
