Machete Marketing
Posted by Matt Rosenberg on September 1, 2010 at 1:00 pm
The viral marketing campaign behind Machete has generated a decent buzz for the film. As I write this post, the trailer for the film just popped up on TV ending with Jessica Alba glaring her eyes while in the shower. Not a bad way to catch the eye. The film has been marketed just like Robert Rodriguez;s Grindhouse films, which were beyond atrocious I might add. Rodriguez is also behind the camera for this film as well. Danny Trejo, the meanest looking latino in the business, finally gets a starring role in a big feature film. The movie also stars Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, and Michelle Rodriguez.
Nick P wrote about the Narnia marketing campaign a few weeks back. He explained how the new Narnia website is an example of how studios are using interactive websites to help generate a buzz for their films. Machete is also another example of this.
