The trailer has been moved to the site this week.
Just the intro and a 'behind-the-scenes' clip.
Ugly, ugly site. I know it's supposed to look like a bad site for a joke, but making a site look bad for a joke means you are left with a site that looks bad. Sure, people who know who Borat is will get it, but you will not convince anyone else that this movie is worth seeing. Preaching to the choir, that pretty much sums up this film's marketing campaign from the very beginning.
The full site launched this week. The usual features are here as well as a game of sorts. You get to play with two different clips adding in effects.
There's a new look to the site and almost all of the content is online, (production notes are marked coming soon).
This is a deceptively large site. At first glance it seems quite small but there are a lot of features built into the site. This includes the usual features, (synopsis, cast & crew & character bios, image gallery, and trailers), as well as extras. There are nearly a dozen video clips, most of which do a really good job at selling the film, and there are about the same number of games. Some of the games, like pinball, are on the site, others are merely links to other sites that require registration. The site does feel a bit cramped at times, but this isn't enough to prevent it from winning the sedimentary Weekly Website Award.
This week's blog is on the cast of Blackheart.
No official site, but we have the trailer: Small, Medium, and Large.
Just the teaser trailer.
So far this site as the synopsis, image gallery, two teaser trailers, and more than a dozen video journals. It is certainly on my must watch list.
This week's list of additions include a ton of video clips including a blooper reel / behind the scenes clip. Also added was the last game, which was a target practice game.
All of the usual features are here as well as a very long clip from the movie.
Most of the usual features are here, (there are character bios instead of cast bios), and the site also includes an emphasis on the music, including the lyrics.
All of the usual features are here, but there's not enough to make it stand out.
No real content so far.
They changed the font. I would have never noticed had they not mentioned it on the blog.
