Buzz Watch: Find Elvis – Get Rich – Creative Online Marketing for New MovieAuthored by Jay Baage on August 18, 2006 - 9:25am.
The filmmaker Adam Muskiewicz is offering $3 million on his website ElvisWanted.com to anyone who can provide him with proof that Elvis is alive. The reward is part of a creative marketing plan for Muskiewicz’s film entitled The Truth About Elvis, scheduled for release in August 2007, the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death.Muskiewicz’s film is based on the notion that Elvis Presley’s death is a hoax – one of the biggest myths in the history of pop culture. Does it have any merit? What are the facts behind it? Why has this myth survived for so many years? What do Elvis Presley’s closest friends think about the myth? These are some of the questions the movie aims to address. It features interviews with authors, experts, reporters, doctors, conspiracy theorists and people that were close to Elvis. The website also encourages super-distribution in the form of asking Elvis fans to help the filmmaker out by spreading the word about the film and the $3 Million reward. Any fans that volunteer will receive a poster and stickers in the mail. They are then asked to display them in high-traffic areas or give them away to other Elvis fans.
The reward is backed up by the London oddsmaker William Hill who currently is giving the odds of 1000-to-1 that Elvis is alive. Related Link: |
