It's been a long time since the site was updated, but the flash site is finally up. The site has most of the usual features for this kind of movie including synopsis, image gallery, both trailers. It also has the first of three games and extras like MooSpace, (character bios), and BarnFlix, (a series of really bad movie puns). Overall it's a good site, but didn't sell me on the film enough.
I get the joke, the site is supposed to look like a really poorly done site. Here's the thing, it really is a poorly done site so the joke isn't clever, just annoying. Much like rest of Borat's act.
Okay, technically this isn't a theatrical release, but a direct-to-DVD sequel to Bring It On. (Or to me more accurate, the second direct-to-DVD sequel to that movie.) However, I really liked Bring It On and it's a slow week, so I'm mentioning it here. The actual site is quite small with just the synopsis, cast list, and information on the music, (I really like that song by Rihanna). On the other hand, there is also the Squad site, which is a viral marketing site that you can sign up to and work towards a variety of prizes.
There are more blog entries, but nothing new on the main site.
The full trailer is on the site, but it is only marginally better than the TV spot.
Two more video journal entries this week, including one of a more serious nature than usually appears here.
The full flash site launched this week and includes the usual features, (synopsis, cast & crew bios, production notes, image gallery, and trailers). On a side note, what they call a trailer is actually just a clip from the movie but what they call clips are actually trailers. Very strange. There are three extras, Hell Boss, Fashion 101, and Desperate Message, but only the first one is on the site at the moment.
The trailer was added, but it was not as effective as I had hoped.
The intro keeps crashing my browser. Moving on.
No real changes since last week, but it is still a good site and sells the movie well.
The site has the synopsis, cast bios, image gallery, and trailer, but there's not much here to make it stand out.
Simple site with just the synopsis, cast list, image gallery, and trailer. If the film is good, you can't tell from what's presented here.
The site has a completely new look, but it still feels like a placeholder site to me. And while some of the features are still marked coming soon, (cast & crew bios, TV spots), unless there's sometime more to come that's not even hinted at yet, this site will be lost in the crowd.
No changes in a while leaving it serviceable, not special enough to stand out.
There's not official site yet, but the full trailer is online at Apple.com. The teaser trailer left me with equal parts anticipation and worry; it looked like it could be a great indie movie, but it also looked like it could be tedious and boring. But with this one I'm a lot more eager to see this movie.
All the basics are here, (synopsis. Cast & crew bios, image gallery, and trailer), but there are no extras.
Just an intro and the trailer.
The usual features are here, a long with some information on the creator of the comic and some clips.
No real changes from last week meaning the clips and TV spots are still marked coming soon, but a good site nonetheless. In fact, with all the usual features, (synopsis, cast and crew bios, production notes, image gallery, and trailer), plus extras like confessionals and, fan art, and even a wrestling game, it is easily the best site on this week's list. And with that, it becomes the winner of the semanalmente Weekly Website Award.
Outside Sales - Official Site
The synopsis, cast and crew list, image gallery and two trailers are on the site, but not much in terms of extras.
There are a couple more trailers online, but you have to surf over to Apple.com to see them.
A typical placeholder site with just the press kit as its only feature.
The actually site is up this week, but so far it just has the synopsis and the trailer more marked coming soon. I do like the tarot card motif, which does give me hope that the site will be well down.
They fixed the Fast Track problem, thank goodness because it is a fun game to play, if a little easy.
There's a new look to the site, but no new content. The amount of sound and animation is particularly impressive for a placeholder site, so I'm very hopeful for the full site when it launches.
Just the press kit and the photo gallery so far.
Great site for a documentary with plenty of information, clips, style, and even a game to play.
The full trailer was added to the site and I'm even less likely to go see the movie now that when I saw the teaser trailer.
