Smokin' Joe Carnahan: 'SMOKIN' ACES' PREMIERE CONTEST

'SMOKIN' ACES' PREMIERE CONTEST

HAPPY 2007! Let's keep killin' 'em in the new year!

Glad everybody is enjoying the script. Great response to that.

Guys, without running this by the folks at Universal and Working TItle,
I am considering some kind of contest to get some folks to the premiere
which I believe is happening the 18th of this month at Mann's Chinese
Theater! (How 'bout that! Very exciting) I just need to figure out a way
to conduct this contest. Maybe some movie trivia questions that you can submit
your answers to then whoever gets the most answers correct, wins. If we have
any ties, then we just draw two names at random. I don't know if we can do the
flights/hotel, etc...but we can certainly ask for that stuff! And we'll take really good
care of the winners in any case.

We've got a couple of weeks here. If anybody has a brilliant contest idea burning
a hole in your head, then let's hear it!

I chance to go to the Premier of Smokin' Aces? That would be so sweet. I'll try to think of some ideas.

I'm pretty sure it would be best to just have everyone submit a name, and picking them entirely at random. Because, due to the vast amount of info available on the internet, any trivia questions would be quite... trivial. Everyone would have the answers immediately, so it's not much of a filter. I say we all submit our names. Someone draws it out of a hat, whatever. Should work best.

So, sign my ass up for that. After reading the script, I'm definitely up for a slice.

the contest could be:film the best shootout that lasts less than 4 minutes or so.In the age of youtube anyone can submit something.

Damn people and their ingenuity. I can feel myself being left in the dust now. Unless, of course, I shoot it with my cell phone camera.

(idea percolation has begun)

I say we submit our names and have a random drawing. I mean the Shootout thing is a great idea but I dont have the right equipment or program on my computer to do it. So I say draw and you can count me in lol!

picking names at random is lame and random. Make people work for it.

How about re-cutting the trailer or something along those lines?

dude,if you shot it on your cell phone...how could you not win?that's ingenuity.

How about recreating a scene from the teasers or trailer and submitting it to YouTube or some similar site and choosing the funniest and best ones?

Or creating a fan poster for the film based on all the material posted on the site to date?

Or you could have a best line next competition. Put up a short clip from the film (works as promotional material too) and stop it before a character's final one-liner, then get everyone to submit what they think could be the best and\or funniest line.

Just a few suggestions...
