it's all part of the plan: joker viral leads to new dark knight poster
UPDATED 26.04: and so the "itspartoftheplan"-page has been updated, with each portrait clickable to open a page which displays a name of a (different) city, with instructions, for the start of a NEW scavenger-hunt / viral game beginning April 28th - /// CLICKETH TO READ MORE
peep the new DARK KNIGHT Poster found on WhySoSerious.com [via] featuring a wall of framed portraits of deceased-gentlemen with their faces Jokerized - with a note at the bottom stating "Four days" 4 Days To WHAT? the new Trailer? or a new viral-game?
the trail started with folks possessing the Joker-phone (from the Bowling Ball Hunt) receiving a text-message (from "humanresources @whysoserious.com"): "Guys, I wouldn't worry about Gordon. IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLAN." (remember Gordon's "Operation Slipknot"?) ... which folks tagged in to where (presumably) the Joker hangs-out online - ie: www.whysoserious.com/itsallpartoftheplan - then click on the red-lever (left-top of webpage) and a new browser-window appears with the poster image! there is a link at the bottom of poster which clicks to an uber-huge version.
and the portraits on the wall? they all aparantly appear on United States dollar bills of different denominations. [info]
MESSAGE ON ITSALLPARTOFTHEPLAN WEB-PAGE:
"Gather with 300 of your closest friends at this exact spot on April 28th.
You'll need to be in contact with a partner-in-crime who has online access to relay your instructions once you're there. These instructions will give you the TRAIL to follow, but be sure to look both ways when crossing the street; we wouldn't want you to make an unscheduled visit to the ER now, would we?
Put on a smile and plan to spend about an hour or so bonding with your fellow clowns.
Check back here often for updates or changes."
/// the emphasis on the letters TRAIL and ER leaves not much to the imagination as to what folks are going to be expecting, and folks have been expecting a new trailer anyways LOL - but hey, that's pretty cool for me. know what you're working towards, so it possibly fuels your efforts, IMHO.
/// "plan to spend about an hour or so bonding with your fellow clowns" - duration of game? or sneak preview of movie? hhhmmm
/// the countdown-clock on page expires Monday, April 28th, when the game begins.
