Wow, just saw a 100 foot long ad for "Coraline" that wraps around a building and plays the trailer

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Jan 7 '09, 10:19

Was walking to lunch when I saw a gigantic ad for "Coraline." I was stepping it off to see how long it was, because it wrapped the corner of a building in Downtown DC. As I neared the end, the screen caught my eye. They have a screen playing the trailer and clips over and over again.

Everyone that walked by it literally stopped and watched.

Very cool I must say.

- fyi, Benjamin Button has the space on the side of Verizon Center, so that will get a lot of viewers as well. -- nm - MDH Jan 7, 10:39
- The area its in is right off K Street and very business oriented which seemed like an odd place - MDH Jan 7, 10:28 14
  - have you ever been in the city for a normal inauguration? don't worry it will get seen. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:30 13

    - What's the latest on the crowds? I'm hearing there are more people coming than there's city to stand in. -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 10:31 2
      - impossible to know. they don't exactly RSVP. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:34

      - ?? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:32 5
        
        meaning, McPherson Sq is probably the nearest space they can rent near the Mall. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:34 4
        
        why wouldn't they rent the space on the castle? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 7, 10:36 3
        
        because it's owned by the US government? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 10:38 2
