“Goemon” website revamp promises live chat with…?
Posted on Saturday, 15 March 2008 at 8:28 am
Kiriya Kazuaki and his “Goemon” team have wisely been putting a lot of effort into building early buzz via the film’s official homepage, and although principal photography and editing have already been completed, there’s still a ton of CG buffing and polishing to be done before its faraway release in 2009. This morning, visitors to the site were greeted with the following message in English:
Website renewal!
As many of you have already noticed, we have dramatically changed “GOEMON” official website today, the 15th of March. This is a start of the second season of GOEMON website. Regrettably, the relationship between you and us is merely one way communication in the season one. In the season two which starts today, we would like to powerup our communication functions. May we have your attention to the upper right corner of the front page. We are going to present a live chat show in a few days and a person whom everyone expects to see will appear on the screen.
Don’t miss it!
KEN (online promotion team)
Apart from copious production stills and videos, there’s now a live chat page which currently features the message “See you next time, good night”. Now this is how you promote a movie.
