Much Anticipated Cloverfield aka 1-18-08 Trailer #2.

Posted by Yours Truly in Uncategorized

Cloverfield is an upcoming film produced by J. J. Abrams (Producer of Lost) and was first publicized in advance screenings of Transformers to which the project is slated for a January 18, 2008 release. At that point in time, there was no working title in place to which fans simply called it the 1-18-08 film or gossiped of the possibilities of the film being based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulu, a live-action adaptation of Voltron, a new film about Godzilla, or a spin-off of the TV show Lost. The film follows a group of people as they try to stay alive during a monster attack on New York City and filmed in a hand held camcorder style similar to the Blair Witch Project.

The epic trailer that started the viral marketing began with this trailer:

This is the 2nd teaser trailer from 1-18-08. It’s a field reporter giving a newscast after the first explosion.

The most recent trailer gives more hints of the monster and debuted with Beowulf on November 14, 2007.

Paramount and Warner Bros. market $3 DVDs in China.

Posted by Yours Truly in Investing

Paramount has become the newest movie studio to make efforts to compete with pirates by offering low-cost, legitimate DVDs in China. New movie titles will go on sale some two months after their theater debut in the US, and for only $3. Paramount will also be joining forces with an unlikely partner in order to combat piracy: competitor Warner Bros., which already has outlets set up in China to sell DVDs.




Time Warner (parent company to Warner Bros.) was the first to try to undercut Chinese movie pirates by selling cheap DVDs in mid-2006. It formed Warner China as a partnership between Warner Bros., China Film Group, and Hengdian Group to sell movies just days after theatrical release for rock-bottom prices: just 10 to 12 yuan (between $1.30 and $1.60). Warner was followed by Fox a few months later, which planned to mirror that strategy but at a higher price—about 20 to 25 yuan, which translates to about $3.

The problem with $3 is that it’s more than double the typical price for illicit street copies of the same movies. But Warner Bros. and Paramount, like Fox, hope that the premium won’t deter customers from buying if they know it’s a real, legal version. As Fox’s international home-entertainment manager Keith Feldman said last November, “It comes down to our ability as marketers to convince the Chinese consumer it’s worth spending the money.”

Both Warner Bros. and Paramount say that this will be the earliest release date and lowest price that their movies have ever been sold for, worldwide. And their reason for teaming up with one another is strategic: they are competing against piracy in China, not each other. The more legit movies that are available in one spot, the more attractive the outlets will become to prospective buyers. “We’re committed to developing a legitimate market in China, and having two more Hollywood studios gives us more critical mass,” Warner Bros. managing director of China distribution, Tony Vaughan, said in a news conference, according to the Associated Press.

Whatever the price, the studios have come to realize that without affordable offerings in China, they won’t make any sales, period. Even just selling a few thousand movies at $3 per disc will be better than nothing. Plus, it helps the studios bolster movie sales numbers, which will be equally important to them while DVD sales in the West continue to go flat.

Goodbye imminent for E-Trade?

Posted by Yours Truly in Insights

Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) — E*Trade Financial Corp. lost more than half its market value after the online brokerage forecast a decline in fourth-quarter earnings and a Citigroup Inc. analyst said the company may go bankrupt.

E*Trade will book “significant writedowns” this quarter for asset-backed securities that sank in value last month, the New York-based brokerage said in a Nov. 9 regulatory filing. Citigroup’s Prashant Bhatia wrote in a report yesterday that there’s a 15 percent chance the company will seek protection from creditors after poor management “put the viability of the franchise at risk.”

Chief Executive Officer Mitchell Caplan’s strategy of building E*Trade’s bank by tripling loans outstanding backfired as borrowers fell behind on payments and U.S. home prices declined. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also began an informal inquiry on Oct. 17 “into matters related to the company’s loan and securities portfolios,” E*Trade said.

“A drop in the stock price this severe could prompt retail trading customers, who likely see the performance of E*Trade shares, to withdraw cash from their accounts,” Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. analyst Roger Freeman wrote in a report to clients today. He has an “overweight” rating on the stock.

In a letter to customers posted on the company’s Web site, Chief Operating Officer Jarrett Lilien said E*Trade is taking “prudent measures” to shore up its balance sheet. The firm will remain “well capitalized” by U.S. banking standards even if it had to write down $1 billion of assets, he said.

E*Trade dropped $5.04, or 59 percent, to $3.55 at 4:20 p.m. on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The stock has fallen 84 percent this year, wiping out about $8 billion in market value. E*Trade’s market value is now almost a tenth of TD Ameritrade Holding Corp., its closest competitor.
