Movie Trailers Make Great Widgets
Whenever I see a movie trailer that gets me excited, the first thing that pops into my head is “Oh I know six people who’d LOVE to see this. I need to share it with them.” This is why it makes SOOO much sense to stick a movie trailer in a widget. You can actually send the movie trailer to all of your friends.
We’ve seen a couple of great success stories. Back in December, the movie Cloverfield launched a trailer on a Clearspring widget. Just recently, the movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull launched a Clearspring widget which includes all its latest trailers.
Well another movie can be added to these ranks. The upcoming Lionsgate’s film The Spirit has made a widget for the movie that includes the trailer, news, a gallery, the blog, downloads, links to the fan fan forum and movie Web site. Plus the studio is doing a contest where whomever can drive the most traffic to the widget will win a trip to San Diego Comic-Con.
Being a big nerd, as most of us are at Clearspring, this definitely has me excited. Both of Frank Miller’s earlier movies Sin City and 300 were beautiful and this one seems to live up to the same standard and with the contest, how could you ask for a better prize?
So… go and share the widget with all of your friends!!! What are you waiting for?!?
Oh yeah… here’s the widget.

Very cool widget guys. The sound on this is incredible and the trailer runs perfectly. I also love the plug for the contest. You guys make the best stuff!
