Proceeds will go to a charity if execs behind the anticipated sequel fork out for the website name they were too slow to own.
A jam company is trolling Warner Brothers by selling a URL the movie-makers should have bought for its 2021 Space Jam sequel.
The website “Spacejam2.com” was nabbed by an independent jam brand pushing a product made with its special “number two” recipe that resembles constellations when spread. But if jam isn’t your jam, it’s also selling the URL for the totally fair sum of $1 million, or best offer.
“Space Jam Recipe #2 makes a great gift for any jam lover in your life, but SpaceJam2.com could be what your movie business needs to thrive,” two family jelly makers reassure us in their new commercial - https://youtu.be/uWhhk2UUX9k
It is hoped that the website is scooped up by Warner Brothers executives as they plan to mount a goliath PR campaign for the highly anticipated sequel of Space Jam, starring LeBron James and Bugs Bunny and set for release in July 2021.
As an incentive, the makers have vowed to share profits of this sale with a charity of the purchaser’s choosing.
The idea behind the trolling is a collaboration between advertising creative Hunter Fine and commercial film director Peter Marquis, who have a history of creating viral pop culture.
Fine said: “Wow—Warner Bros must be so bummed to have missed out on this primetime URL that we bought for our Space Jam 2 spread. As humble jam makers, we feel bad. That’s why we're offering them the PR opportunity of a lifetime for the completely realistic price tag of $1M. You’d have to really hate charity and jam not to take this offer.”
