06/11/08 / HEAD TRAUMA update It’s been a bit since an update and a lot of behind the scenes stuff has been happening with HT. The big news is we’re prepping a release around the film for the UK this coming fall. The HT cinema ARG will be back in full force. We’ll be doing some live events combined with wider gameplay around the film. The field of play will increase to include theaters, living rooms, online and mobile devices. More details will be emerging in the coming weeks but the event will take place in time for Halloween.
COMING TO A TV NEAR YOU - we can't officially announce it yet but HT will be coming to a living room near you. That's right we are finalizing a deal that will have the movie on TV early next year. Can't go into full details yet but can say it will place the film in front of a lot of people. Posted by lw 10/24/07 / HEAD TRAUMA now on VOD via WARNER BROS
