Warner Bros. inicia campanha viral de “Sherlock Holmes”

Nada mais apropriado do que uma campanha viral, com pistas e mistérios, para um filme de detetive, certo? Pois foi a mesma coisa que a Warner Bros. pensou, dando início hoje ao esforço online para o “Sherlock Holmes” dirigido por Guy Ritchie.

Há algumas horas, a WB Pictures revelou no Twitter uma estranha URL: http://94.236.57.221. A página traz cinco caixas vazias e um ponto de interrogação, e quem descobrir a senha é levado para um vídeo misterioso com um homem encapuzado, além de um cadastro de email que diz que Sherlock Holmes precisa da sua ajuda.

A pista dada foi essa imagem, um poster com a personagem Irene Adler, interpretada por Rachel McAdam’s. Aí foi fácil: “I R E N E”. É um começo tímido, mas uma mensagem no site avisa para ninguém subestimar a gravidade dos próximos eventos.

“Sherlock Holmes” estreia nos EUA no Natal desse ano, e aqui no Brasil em 8 de janeiro de 2010.
