Joker-ized Trailer For The Dark Knight
So, last night I was surfing around looking for something to take my mind off my Suns getting ousted by the Spurs (again!), when I came across this awesome version of the new Dark Knight trailer over at Slashfilm. I've been watching the viral marketing for this movie, and I'm continually amazed. I got involved on the Harvey Dent side of things and I got a copy of the second issue of the Gotham Times, a bunch of posters and I even got the button that's half melted from the Concerned Citizens For A Better Gotham<
/a>. It's absolutely genius. Warner Bros. understands how important word-of-mouth is in the summer movie season, and this is topping the movie discussion among geeks everywhere. I would be very curious to see how much they're spending as opposed to what it would cost for prime-time advertisements. This really seems to be more effective use of their money. Anyway, check out the video. It really is cool. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3OqlNyE18I[/youtube]
