How ‘Captain America’ is just one piece of Disney’s plan to reinvent entertainment

How ‘Captain America’ is just one piece of Disney’s plan to reinvent entertainment | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

 

Michael Cavna:  "Disney is thinking so far beyond sequels — first with its Marvel Cinematic Universe, next with its Star Wars galaxies — that it is now fully, successfully engaging viewers across interlocking narratives. Each time a film like “Civil War” can land with audiences — building upon and/or introducing a dozen key characters — the universe can move not just linearly, but also multilaterally."

Pure genius! Most of us are not in the entertainment business. But what does great entertainment and story telling have to do with great marketing. Answer. Everything.

A very smart play from Disney. You can use this strategy in your business. If you are creative and come up with a plan. If you need some ideas just ask.

In the midst of the massive geek Mecca that is San Diego Comic-Con, the big Marvel Studios movie panel had all the theater of a presidential campaign rally. Tom Hiddleston appeared in costume as Loki, the bad guy from Thor, and rallied the crowd in character. Then: so many movie stars, including the full casts of the upcoming Captain America sequel and Guardians of the Galaxy. And just when it seemed like it was over, Joss Whedon, patron saint of nerds, walked out for a Steve Jobsian one-more-thing and introduced the first teaser for The Avengers sequel. Eight thousand fans, some of whom had been waiting in line since the night before, shrieked like their souls were being ripped from their bodies.

What Made 'Oz' So Great And Powerful? Starlight Runner's Jeff Gomez Tells Us [#Transmedia] | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Jeff Gomez:  "Oz is one of the most fully realized fictional worlds in literary history, so the prospect of Disney allowing different facets of that world’s many lands and rich history to be explored through the lens of Raimi’s reimagining and across multiple media platforms is fascinating."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

Great analysis, as always, from Jeff Gomez.
