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.

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
