The third movie of Richard Kelly (@JRichardKelly) of Donnie Darko fame premieres tomorrow, with some promising visuals in the trailer (even if the first reviews aren’t that promising).

And one thing i love about the fantastic genre is the extra care establishing their internet presence. With The Box website, i was particularly impressed with the visuals (and no, it was not about Cameron Diaz) and the masterful aural experience.

Along with the typical sections (downloads, cast, trailers, etc) i’m starting to detect some ARG inspiration integrated in movie websites, by launching some satellite experiences, in this case a teaser website at YouAreTheExperiment.com and even a comic book.

But why do i really blog this? Because my favorite band is doing the movie score along with their Final Fantasy (@OwenPallett) peers. No wonder i loved the audio on the website.

    Honestly …
    I think it’s the worst site ever …
    It may have amazing graphics, but from the moment u cannot navigate through it and it’s difficult to have a clear perception of the menu, don’t u think that it misses the main goal (to inform the public)?!

    That rss feature on your site here is splendid, you should tell more folks about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noticed it a first, now I’m using it every morning to check on any updates. I’m on a really slow dial-up connection in Alabama and it’s quite hindering to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and voil? – I’m always up-to-date! Well pal, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well :-P
