Stealth Trailer
Stealth - A Yahoo! Movies Exclusive
No the headline doesn’t allude to some new viral marketing campaign. Yahoo! has a first look at the trailer for some sort of Top Gun/Short Circut/Wargames hybrid. Mainly what this is is crap, and I arrived at that conclusion before I realized it was by the director of XxX and [...]
Sin City Official Site
SIN CITY
This might be the coolest movie site I’ve come across in a while. I’m going to save a recounting of the features available here for my actual Movie Marketing Madness column when we get closer to the release date.

House of Wax Official Site
HOUSE OF WAX
The official site for the Paris Hilton starring House of Wax remake (wow, count the number of disturbing things in that opening) has launched. Nothing but a Poster is available as of now but note the inclusion of “Podcast” among the features soon to come. First time I’ve seen that and it’ll be [...]
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trailer
The’>The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — The Official Movie Website
The first non-teaser trailer for this much anticipated (and much delayed) adaptation of the Douglas Adams book hit last week. At first the trailer was available exclusively at Amazon.com, right there on the front page. What was odd was the exclusivity. Why Amazon? There was [...]
Star Wars: Clone Wars Returns
Clone Wars, the animated series leading into this spring’s Revenge of the Sith, returns to Cartoon Network Monday March 21st with five new 12-minute episodes.
Since quotes from Lucas and his minions have alluded to the fact that this series will show the events mentioned in the movies opening crawl, this is an important chapter in [...]
A Scanner Darkly Trailer
A Scanner Darkly - A Yahoo! Movies Exclusive
A few years ago director Richard Linklater put out Waking Life which incorporated some then cutting-edge animation. Essentially (to my neophyte understanding) the actors where filmed as with any other movie but then animation was layered over their performance, creating a strange hybrid of live-action and animation.
(Yes this [...]
More Education on Constantine
Movie Poop Shoot - From Print to Screen
Matt Savelloni at MoviePoopShoot also gives a pretty good recap of the John Constantine character and some of the potential pitfalls of the movie version.
Reader Royal Burnell also pointed me to a website with some good material.

Getting Schooled on Constantine
I got this comment which provides a quick primer on the John Constantine character as he appears in the actual Hellblazer graphic novel/comic. Since I am a complete ludite on the subject I thought I would repost it for everyone to see.

John Constantine in the comics is a British con man who knows a thing [...]
A New Start
As part of the general reboot of this site I’ve decided to really and truly start from scratch. I have archived all the posts up to this date on a different page. What I want to do is truly turn this weblog into an extension of the Movie Marketing Madness column I write for [...]

A new poster is online for this Nicole Kidman/Sean Penn thriller.
Miss Congeniality 2
There is what could be called a new poster out. In reality it’s the teaser poster after undergoing some Photoshop surgery to make Sandra Bulluck [...]

OJR on Oscar buzz
Once a curiosity, Oscar news sites earn clout, build buzz
Mark Glaser’s piece here sums up how Oscar marketing is going grass-roots but ultimately comes off as kind of a puff piece. I don’t think he raises nearly enough objections to the assertions some of these site operators make.
I harbor no illusions about my humble web [...]
