Follow the White Rabbit Scott Caldwell, December 2, 2009December 2, 2009 Although it sounds like a Jefferson Starship song, it’s not. In fact, you’ll not only be following a white rabbit, you’ll be following 50 of them! All set loose on the streets and subways of NYC during Friday’s morning commute. As part of a marketing campaign for Syfy’s upcoming Alice, you’ll be able to follow these little fellas in business suits in preparation of the 4 hour movie event. In addition, they also have a few “short” viral sites to go along with it. White Rabbit Inc – It all starts here, with the same title as this thread “follow the white rabbit”. Here you stare at a logo that has an odd military feel to it. The logo flips, and you now start the chase. Oh look! There’s a rabbit! For the sake of this article, we’ll call him Reginald.

And, if following all of the rabbits and Reginald wasn’t enough, you will also find a twitter account to follow @whiterabbitincSo even though these websites don’t give you a great deal to do, they do give you a pretty good idea that this isn’t the Alice you’re use to. It will be interesting to see what Syfy does with it when it starts December 6th.Take a look at some behind the scenes footage: Stay tuned to MovieViral. Rumor has it we’ll have some clips of the silly rabbits.And honestly, I’m not sure if the King and Queen are done. They fight a lot and it’s mostly speculation. Viral Marketing Alice
