Greg Goes Viral

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Or at least the film I'm working on is exploiting the viral pathways for self promotion. Oh wait. I'm not supposed to say I'm working on the film. That will kill it.

Let's just say, that if I were working on a film, one which they shot the trailer before they shot any actual footage, well that trailer might have been seen before Transformers. Maybe. It's possible if you went to YouTube yesterday, you might have been able to see a copy that somebody might have taken with their cel phone camera.

If you were suspicious you might think a large Film company might have leaked it to YouTube themselves only to pull it later after some buzz had been generated. Sources said it was on YouTube for a suspiciously long time for copyrighted material.

Or maybe none of this happened? Maybe I'm working on the next Space Shuttles down in Downey. I am afterall in the same building the built the original shuttles......

Yeah. Saw it. Obviously a plant.

A) Trailers find their way to the internet before they ever hit theaters, no matter how hard a studio tries to suppress it.

B) It's J.J. Abrams. He lives for viral marketing.

Still looks like it could be fun. It's some sort of Godzilla-thing, amirite?

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

They won't tell us. The bosses aren't even aloud to read the script.

But Maybe. I'm building a bridge set in Brooklyn that's supposed to be destroyed. You might call it a Brooklyn Bridge.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

It's like I'm drunk all day, what with the screwed up Apartment Set and driving the Condor.



See? It's not quite level.



Yes, it hangs into a fifteen foot deep pit.



Once the Birthplace of the Space Shuttle, now home to ill mannered Carpenters and that's the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.



More screwed up sets. This one I haven't worked on. I worked on the real building pre-destruction.

Some people say it's a Cthhulu movie.

Some people say it's Thundercats

Some even say:

I think it's pretty obvious we're dealing with a Godzilla movie directed by Wooden Allen.
Good to see him behind the camera again -- and who knows, maybe in the suit as well?
I'm curious to see how it fares in this post-Raymond Burr era.

Must be time to go to work. Fucking Production.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Without all that messing hunting around. Plus this link shows the poster. I guess we're getting less viral all the time.

JJ wants Godzilla for the american audience.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

They handed out production badges, so they could tell the good guys from the bad guys. No one in constrution wanted the badges. They never do. So, I ended up with quite a few.

True to form, the films title was not listed on the badge. We were referred to as chocolate rage with a candy bar emblem. It looks like somebody used a copier to make them.

If you go to the Slusho site ( Slusho ), you will find a section where you can mix slusho flavors together to create your own new slusho flavor. One of the flavors is Chocolate Rage. Go figure.
