Nice interactive story to click your way through…
My favorite quote : “Michael Jackson dies! Just like in real life! Who would have guessed it?”
Last year District9 did it, in 2008 Batman Returns did it with their I believe in Harvey Dent campaign.
Now The Crazies are doing it. Though the site’s could maybe be considered a bit more low-key, the movie has created multiple small sites surrounding the core elements and players in their movie. I am really liking this 2.0 style of promoting movies.
The sites in question are:
-> Ogden Marsh Chamber of commerce
-> Dakon/Pendrill Chemical corporation (if anyone figures out the login please let me know)
-> Ogden Marsh Gazette Blog(spot) enriched with more links and videos and the obvious Twitter Feed
-> The Ogden Marsh Sheriff’s department (again with the login)
-> And finally the movies site itself off course.
A producer from Uruguay who uploaded a short film to YouTube in November 2009 has been offered a $30m (£18.6m) contract to make a Hollywood film.

Having been a user of Songbird for a while now I find the release of Boxee quite promising. Songbird kicks iTunes butt (setting aside that the closed iTouch makes using Songbird a hassle). Apple released their Apple TV a while back. There is Microsoft Mediacentre as well, that tries to offer the same thing. Anyways, say hello to the open source Boxee. Cross platform, all kinds of media formats supported..looking promising indeed. Reviews and impressions are more then welcomed…
quick intro to boxee from boxee on Vimeo.
