Watchmen rise from the Thames

Post by BEcause XM

Paramount Pictures erected a 22m high water screen in the middle of the Thames this month as part of a dramatic experiential stunt to promote its new comic-book movie Watchmen. Giant images of characters from the film were projected onto the screen as well as additional footage and a smiley-face badge, a well-known symbol from the comic. Later in the month, London Bridge was transformed into an alternative New York, complete with Watchmen characters for an exclusive screening of the movie.

Online travel company lastminute.com is extending onto the high street with the imminent launch of a store in Covent Garden.
