The Office: More Wedding Site Updates Leading Up to the Big Day Dan Koelsch, October 7, 2009October 7, 2009 Tomorrow is the big day for Jim and Pam on The Office, as the two will finally tie the knot after 5+ seasons. We’ve reported before on the wedding site created for the couple as part of the show’s online viral presence, and now we have a bunch more updates as the event approaches. In fact, all the pages on the site finally have content. We learned in the second episode of the season that the nuptials will take place at Niagara Falls. Now, the site has been updated to reflect that. It’s become clear that Pam is running the site, which isn’t a surprise, since I can’t imagine Jim doing that. Here is what she had to say about Niagara Falls on her site:It turns out, Westminster Abbey is all booked up, so Jim and I are to wed at the Spruce Avenue Presbyterian Church in Niagara Falls, NY.Growing up, my parents frequently took us to the falls for our family vacations. I loved it. I loved the trees and wet bridges. I loved walking through the Criminals Hall of Fame Wax Museum (their Al Capone sort of looked like my grandpa). And I loved it when my dad took me hiking around the Bridal Veil Falls — obviously named to promote wedding tourism in the area (worked on me). I guess we decided to get married there because it seems like a good place for Jim and I to make our first memories as husband and wife…that and the Spruce Avenue Presbyterian Church was the only one in the area that didn’t have black mold. Check out the Guest Book to see comments by both characters and fans, and even add your own comment. The Gift Registry is short, but humorous. I can’t imagine anyone will get their last item. Lastly, check out the Guest Info page to see “Things To Do in the Area”. What do you think of the site? We’ll update you tomorrow on any more additions or changes before the one-hour special. The Office airs Thursdays at 8/9c on NBC. Viral Marketing The Office
Viral Video: Lucas Re-Edits Star Wars Opening Text January 19, 2010January 21, 2010As a purist Star Wars fan who also loves modern technology, I’ve often been conflicted with the re-edits George Lucas has done to the original Star Wars trilogy (once in 1997 and again in 2004). Sure, there are some scenes that look bad-ass and definitely improve on the original 70s… Read More
Paranormal Activity: Viral Marketing At Its Best October 27, 2009January 8, 2010The success of Paranormal Activity will be studied extensively by Hollywood, that’s for sure. Made for a mere $15,000, Paranormal Activity has grossed nearly $64 million since its nation-wide release. How? A strange thing called . . . The Internets! While MovieViral normally focuses on the “in-game” side of viral… Read More
Viral Video for Toy Story 3 Discovered April 26, 2010April 26, 2010It looks like the guys behind Toy Story 3 aren’t happy just riding the franchise’s existing popularity to the bank. Pixar has been doing some interesting marketing for the film, and that looks to be continuing with a viral video that shows a 1983 commercial for the “Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear”, which… Read More
