Promotion Campaign

I think we will definately see a new comic started,as for the amount they will spend on promotion,not as much as they should will probably be the sad answer.as for the way they'll promote the movie to non fans i reckon that all they need to do is show them GR in all his glory and they will flock to the cinema but as a fan in a way i don't wan't to see to much of him before the actual movie.They may also stick him in one of the current cartoons(X-Men evo,Spidey etc..) to generate more awareness.As for the toys i think they may appear in more toy selling places than just comic stores as the movie is gonna be PG-13 and the young teens are gonna go nuts for this character IMHO

 

a limited GR series by Garth Ennis is already planned for 2005...
in addition an action figure line is confirmed as well as a video game, models,statues, halloween costumes, soundtracks, t-shirts, hats, jackets, ect., posters, mugs, maybe even trading cards. this stuff would be pretty common..most "big" movies have this kind of thing going for it.

things i doubt we will see....breakfast cereal (i want "Ghostie-O's!!! heh..i wont ever let this die!), bedsheets, kids vitamins, charcoal briquettes

i do want to see lots of TV coverage on this too...like movie specials on E! network or something on the Sci-Fi channel.
im planning on trying to tape everything GR movie related when they start pimpin Ghostie early in 2006. maybe if some interested folks here would do the same we could gather it all up for a nice little "project" that im planning

 

You mentioned a Game BIGGUN do you have any idea what type?
I would hope for something along the lines of GTA meets Spiderman 2

 

havent heard any details on it yet...just that it was a sure thing.
yeah i imagine it would be combo of those 2 games that you mentioned. there will most certainly have to be some fist fighting in it.....just wouldnt be GR without it

 

I'm looking foward to marvel restarting the comic...and maybe a cool action figure and an awsome video game ,GR has so much potential for an awsome video game

 

Whatever campaign it is, I hope it's a big one. I want to see it all, Games, Toys, Trailers, posters. The works baby. Go all out with it.

 

it kind of hard to promote this but i doubt any fast food places like burgerking will try.

 

Oh ...cmon dude! you know you want a BK "Ghost Burger"! specially flame broiled to perfection in the hottest ovens of HELL!

 

i eat that burger.

 

Instead of Hulk or Thing hands, how about Ghost Rider hands that actually shoot Hellfire?(just kidding). Seriously, I will buy everthing they produce for Ghost Rider and am really excited about the new mini-series, which hopefully would become ongoing.
Other than Tex, who would be a good artist?
By the way, did anybody else here think the most recent mini sucked ass?

 

i hope so...i still want my "Ghostie-O's"
and even Ghost Rider's BBQ'd flavored potato chips. baked in the fire of HELL!

 

Not to tell the fine folks at Sony Pictures how to do things, but what are your ideas on how to best get Ghost Rider into the spotlight and whip up interest in the movie as we march towards summer 2006?

How about: a presence at biker rallies? Competitions to win stuff? Sponsorship of sporting events? A Johnny Blaze touring stunt show?

Remember: we want adults, kids, bikers, everyone to come see this movie and love the character as much as we do.

Let's put the word to the streets, people! The Rider is coming!!!!

P.S. Please use the trailer threads for trailer ideas. However, suggestions for where and when to show trailers are fine.

 

The Marketing is one of the most important things you can do,its what made Elektra do poorly @ the boxoffice!

 

Whoops. Sorry. Didn't see that one. I did check the threads before I started this one. Honest!
