New Viral Site for Jupiter Sci-Fi 'Europa Report' Quietly Launched

What is The Europa Report, and what's the secret behind it? The mystery is out there. Our friends at Movie Viral discovered a new viral site launched recently for the new sci-fi film The Europa Report, directed by Sebastián Cordero and starring Sharlto Copley, that we just teased with the first look photo over the weekend. It's a sci-fi about six astronauts who are the first to travel three years to Jupiter's moon Europa, not only their long journey, but what they find there. The site is for Europa Ventures LLC, the company that's backing/funding the mission to send these six people on this journey to Europa. So what is the secret?

Spider-Man Viral Kicks Off with Peter Parker's Backpack Clue Pickup

By Alex Billington

Finally, the viral game we've been waiting for this year has kicked off! Earlier in the week, after the premiere of the new trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, we mentioned a new viral website for the Mark of the Spider-Man that launched. Since then, a twitter has launched @markofspiderman and has been spouting GPS locations all day. Where do they lead? Local pick-ups in six cities of a backpack, Peter Parker's backpack to be specific, containing a sketchbook and more school items. Hidden in there was a clue which pointed to a page on the viral site which then unlocked a countdown on the main website. It's time.

Check These Out: Flashy Capitol Motion Posters for 'Hunger Games'

By Alex Billington

Smile Away! Something fun for all the Hungers Games fans out there. Some "viral" marketing has popped up (via ComingSoon) in the form of ads from the Capitol for The Hunger Games movie, featuring three characters. Each one is basically an ad for a colorful product in the Capitol. There's one for Cinna, played by Lenny Kravitz, Katniss' stylist; one for Seneca Crane, played by Wes Bently, the Head Gamemaker; and one for interviewer Caesar Flickerman, played by Stanley Tucci, who looks like he's been distorted so much just to hide it's even him. These are kind of fun and flashy, more from the universe of Hunger Games.

Mark of the Spider-Man - Viral Site for 'Amazing Spider-Man' Found

By Alex Billington

He's back! Now that everyone has been watching the second official trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man over and over, we're all getting excited for the summer to come. I was watching the trailer in high def and at the end, noticed something very odd hidden quickly in the lower left of a frame, linking to an actual website. Spider-Man is getting a viral or ARG? Awesome! The phrase and website hidden is Mark of the Spider-Man, which I definitely think is the start of something bigger and I'm glad they're using the "mark" of the Spider-Man, because I'm loving the logos and spray-paint imagery from this movie (like this).

Kick Ass New Artistic Posters for 'Chronicle' + Amazing Tilt-Shift Photo

By Alex Billington

What are you capable of? Whoa. I'm glad to see the marketing start ramping up in a big way for this flick, because it needs all the love it can get, and it's one of my most anticipated movies before the summer hits. Chronicle, conceived and directed by Josh Trank, is the "found-footage superheroes" film about teenage kids who get telekinesis. I've been excited for it ever since the first trailer hit, which came with a cool poster, and went really overboard when they showed us footage last week. These posters were found by GeekTyrant on their official viral Tumblr and they kick ass. Plus there's an amazing tilt-shift surprise photo at the end.

Mysterious Metal Box Filled with Alcatraz Artifacts Arrives at FS HQ

By Alex Billington

We love receiving cool stuff out of nowhere, and this morning I was awoken by a package delivery of an ominous metal box. What was inside? Artifacts from Alcatraz, including a map of the island, newspaper clippings, a postcard, flower (a bit creepy), photos of inmates, magazine pages and a metal Alcatraz key. It's easy to realize this a viral for that new Bad Robot TV series "Alcatraz" airing on Fox. But there's some cool stuff in here and I thought it was worth sharing, especially considering the note said: "Over the next few months, we will be looking to you, and your audience, to help us uncover the mysteries of the island."

Check This Out: Newsletter from the Strange World of 'ParaNorman'

By Ethan Anderton

The initial teaser trailer and a more brief international trailer gave us a decent glimpse into the world of Laika's new stop-motion animated feature ParaNorman, but now a crafty piece of promotional material has made its way online in the form of a fictional town newsletter from the town of Blithe Hollow. It seems to set the backdrop for the story following a young boy (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee from Let Me In) who can speak to the dead and must save his town from a zombie uprising. There are some nice touches included ads for Witchy Wieners and Bar Gento, and this is a great piece of promo material. See it below!

Bane's Gotham Strike Map Printed on Viral Tube + T-Shirt Package

By Alex Billington

The Fire Rises strike map? Gotham is staked out? So did we miss something? I feel like this is a huge jump ahead, right on the verge of the IMAX prologue being released this weekend, but here we go. Warner Bros has been mailing packages to various websites, us included, containing The Dark Knight Rises swag - a badass new Bane "Fire Rises" t-shirt that comes in a tube wrapped in a map of Gotham City (see the photos). The shirt looks great, but the tube has caught the attention of the web, with sites like ComingSoon and ComicBookMovie dissecting the notes like they're viral clues. As far as I can tell, this may just be a gift.

'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Viral Comes to End with Screenings

By Alex Billington

"What is Hidden in Snow, Comes Forth in the Thaw." After almost two months since the Mouth Taped Shut viral blog started hiding clues in its update that lead fans to find actual movie props from David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, it looks like the viral is coming to a close, as the film will be released in just a few weeks. It all came to an end today as all 40 flowers were finally given out to fans, along with tons of other props like Lisbeth's helmet, jacket, shirts and passport, as well as "Hard Copy" on VHS and Millennium magazine. Now that it's finished they're hosting viral screenings Monday night. Badass!

'TDKR' Operation 'Early' Bird Viral Unlocks Early Prologue Screenings

By Alex Billington

And here... we... go. As the time ran out on the Operation Early Bird site revealed just yesterday, instead of launching a viral game or any more clues, the site just simply forwarded to a map. Operation Early Bird, which was indeed way too on-the-nose with its name, is a "viral" site linked to The Dark Knight Rises revealed yesterday. The map shows numerous dots for cities where a screening is occurring on 10PM next Tuesday, December 13th, giving fans who could get to the site before it crashed an opportunity to see the new jaw-dropping, amazing, exhilarating six-minute prologue a whole three days before everyone else does.
