The campaign will use a new video advert solution from rich media firm Tangozebra, developed for feature film and DVD campaigns. The ad will launch between two pages of a website.
For instance when someone browsing the Sun Online clicks through to the movie section, the advert will launch as a full webpage for approx five seconds before opening the movie section of the site.
There will be a 'skip advert' link, but for those interested there will be options to watch the trailer, play games and retailer links for additional product information.
The interactive campaign for the horror movie starts on 1st October 2004 and finishes on 1st November 2004. The campaign aims to drive pre-orders and sales online and in stores, and raise awareness of the DVD’s special features.
