Wild Publicity Campaign For G.I. Joe

Wild Publicity Campaign For G.I. Joe

Thanks to LatinoReveiw.com Scooper BJ (lol) for providing the image and the below first hand description of what happened:

"I was sitting on the beach in Ocean Grove, NJ yesterday when a Black helicopter stopped to hover just off shore about 35 feet in the air. All of the fourth of July revelers hoarding the beach ran towards the water to see what was going on.
Then as it slowly approached shore, a rope ladder rolled out and what appeared to be a diver climbed to the bottom of the rope ladder. As I approached the water's edge, the helicopter the gleaming black helicopter turned only to reveal the G.I. Joe Movie logo as the diver began to wave. The helicopter the proceeded to hover south down the shore with the diver hanging on just over the water for as far south as we could see.

It was very cool as it felt like GI Joe had come to life for me and [it was] effective as EVERYONE I ran into on the Jersey Shore was talking about it."

Very cool indeed. I think to spur even more interest in this film they need to dangle a couple big breasted blond bad ass super model chicks over EVERYWHERE!!



UPDATE: This just in; If you look closely to the maniac hanging on the bottom of the ladder, one will determine that it is in fact ComicBookMovie.com G.I.Joe fan username Lee777. I knew this guy was a fan, but know I'm thinking more like a fanatic:)

Dude... if this stunt DOESN'T show you just how bad the movie is and how desperately they need people to see it, than paint chips might prove to be tasty. This is beyond ridiculous...

Shaman, I have to disagree bud, not in that this film has a fair chance of being a huge steamer, but that this stunt alone would reflect that. I think stunts like this are going to be common place in marketing big-budget action films. It's a new method of shock and awe that movie marketing has lacked in the last decade. Whether you think this a shameless attempt at publicity or great way of promoting, one thing is certain, it grabs your attention and makes you talk about it, if only for a minute. That said, Shaman, I think this sort of promoting is something we will see more of.

LEEE, I would implant my seed in chic 1.

LEEE777 - 7/7/2009, 4:09 PM
Seriously Alten @ After WOLVERINE i don't expect much from HOLLYWOOD anymore!

What's worth the $$$ alone will be the SNAKE EYES VS STORM SHADOW fight!!!

Still hopefully it will be Awesome! ; )

dont think this movie will be good, but it will have cool parts, like the fight with the ninja's, and then the other fight with the ninja's... if they're smart, they'll put one in the beggining, then @ the end, so i dont walk out ;).

I saw that helicopter when I was at work! It was flying all up and down the shore line. It kept flying real low over the ocean with a guy who jumped off the ladder and into the water, he waved off some boat then climbed back on. Chopper looked pretty bad ass though. Had reports of it landing in Bradley Beach, Takkanassee Beach, Deal beach, and Ocean Grove.

Would have been a lot cooler if they staged a fight between some Cobra guys.
