Product Placement Fever
Wow... there's getting to be so much product placement now that you can easily spot them in the trailers. I came across the trailer for "The Man", a new movie with Samuel Jackson and Eugene Levy. In the trailer, I spotted at least 2 product placement deals... one for USA Today and another for Blockbuster. Check out the trailer for yourself.
The Blockbuster placement is weird, as there's a rental case in the trunk of a character's car... It's only there for a second, so you have to watch carefully. The USA Today product placement is pretty blatant, as you can see here.
Hmm... I wonder how many others I can spot in other trailers? Actually, I wonder if any of these companies stipulate inclusion in the trailer?
