Just been looking RE: soundtrack and the Strokes and the soundtrack. The Storkes are signed to Rough Trade records as far as I can see, and they are less than likely to to be able to afford to pay for PP in a big budget movie like Transformers. It was more likely a deliberate ploy by the directors to give you an indication as to Sam's character, as we don't get much time to find out.

I do know that most major brands will have a department that basically scans new movie scripts to identify opportunities to place their products in.

I don't actually find it annoying. Does anyone remembers TV shows in the past that featured look-a-like products - same packaging, slightly different name - instead of the actual products? I thought these were far more jarring and annoying.

Watched Cast Away yesterday. Saw the FedEx logo about a 1000 times

But I read this on IMDB:

Contrary to popular belief, FedEx did not pay the filmmakers anything for their presence in the movie. The director has made this clear in a number of interviews.

Hollyoaks still does that

Ok, its getting near that time, when you people can help me in a token way by filling out a questionaire. Its not done yet, this is merely a heads up, but it'd really mean a lot if a decent number of youse could take five minutes and fill one out, cos in a few weeks, it really needs to happen..

Not a problem mate. I'll get some mates to do them as well if you need more people?

Wes · 7th February 2008, 01:52

cool as; the more the merrier, that'd be great.

I'll be in touch mate.

GiggsysGirl · 7th February 2008, 11:42

In "Return of the Killer Tomatoes" halfway through, they run out of money so in the next scene the actors are trying to sell everything around them; drinks, cereal, chocolate bars etc. Very funny.

Is that in any way interesting?

yeah, I've also talked about the scene in Waynes World were he sells out and does many placements, pepsi being the funniest

Sam Atherton · 7th February 2008, 20:51

hAPPENS IN BASEKETBALL TOO

GiggsysGirl · 7th February 2008, 22:20

Alright, don't shout.

Grinner · 8th February 2008, 00:36

The Golden Child and Double Team have the most blatant product placements I can recall. Both Pepsi, I think.

GiggsysGirl · 8th February 2008, 00:43

And Godzilla.

noodlehair · 8th February 2008, 00:53

I, Robot

With Will Smith and his new trainers

Especially the part where he fights about 600 robots, destroying everything in sight, then afterwards, looks down at his still shiney new trainers, and starts nodding his head

I don't know whether you can use tv programs too but there is an episode of 30 Rock that deals with a similar issue, they're writers and there boss is making them use placements in there show. The episode is called Jack-tor and if your interested I can get you a stream of it to take a look at.

brad-dyrak · 8th February 2008, 20:48

"Supersize Me" had quite a bit of McDonald's product placement.

thanks man appreciate the sentiment. i'm just concentrating on films for the purposes of the paper, but thanks - appreciated.

keep the feedback coming guys, it all helps.

Raven_Blade · 15th February 2008, 15:40

Casino Royale has absolutely shocking product placement. Every single device repeatedly gets shown in close ups as they are being used.

Wes · 17th February 2008, 17:25

true bladesy, every big film that comes out is covered with it.

Will Smith etc need to get their 20million somehow i guess

Wes · 21st April 2008, 00:53

bump.

I'm going insane with this shite. Haven't seen my mates properly on the piss for 4 months.
