Yes, They Have Awards For The Best Movie Trailers
Trailers have their own ratings and metrics now – the number downloaded in the first 24 hours after release, for one thing. “Television plots have become more interesting and complex, with story arcs playing out over seasons instead of a couple hours. To keep up, the trailer business is becoming more creative, with tightly wound teasers targeted to different global markets and attention spans. Some are as short as three seconds on mobile devices.”
‘Sesame Street’ Sues To Stop The Makers Of A Very Dark Puppet Movie From Using A Tagline
This is not your child’s Elmo doll: “It is not the movie’s raunchy depiction of puppets prostituting themselves, cursing or blowing their heads off that caused Sesame Workshop, the educational nonprofit that produces Sesame Street, to file a lawsuit against the film’s creators, STX Entertainment.”
How CNN Broke The Morgan Freeman Harassment Story
Basically? Last year, Freeman treated the CNN reporter like she was, let’s say, a commodity – and she reported that treatment, which kicked off a six-month investigation.
