Stark Expo 2010: Novo site viral para “Homem de Ferro 2?

Stark Expo 2010

A Marvel acaba de lançar mais uma iniciativa viral para “Homem de Ferro 2″, é o site da Stark Expo 2010, que conta também com página no Facebook.

Parte do roteiro do filme envolve justamente a Stark Expo, uma feira científica e industrial internacional, iniciada pelo pai de Tony Stark, Howard Stark, nos anos 1960. Um mistério na edição de 1974 é peça chave na história de “Homem de Ferro 2?.

Além de imagens e um mapa interativo da Stark Expo, o site traz uma contagem regressiva que finaliza justamente no dia da estréia do filme, 7 de maio. Talvez não aconteça nada mais além disso, mas certamente é um ótimo material para os fãs do personagem.

É interessante notar também a quantidade de marcas no rodapé da página, provavelmente todas que estarão com product placement dentro do filme.
