Lincoln Mercury, which previously launched a serial Internet-based movie called Meet The Lucky Ones, is launching two new webisodes featuring the Mercury Milan mid-size sedan and the new Zephyr, Lincoln’s first entry-luxury sedan. The first installments of the five-week Web series debut today at LovelyBySurprise.com and TheNeverything.com, bringing together stars from Oscar-winning movies and hit television series, including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Amistad” and “Walk the Line.” Written and directed by Kirt Gunn, they tell the story of an author whose fiction overtakes her real life. The two sides of the story are presented on two separate Web sites – one by Lincoln, the other by Mercury.
Our brief review of the work interests us. This isn’t your standard web video stuff. This is stuff you’d expect to see on TV or in the movie theater. If this is truly where advertising is going, we’re all for it.
