Cloud atlas
This adventure film, mixing sci-fi drama and mystery, is an exploration of how the actions of
individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future. The story presents
different destinies : an 1849 diary of a journey across the Pacific ; letters from a disowned composer to
his friend; a thriller about a murder at a nuclear power plant ; a publisher in a nursing home ; a rebellious
clone in futuristic Korea ; and a tribe living in post-apocalyptic Hawaii ; showing slowly how everything
is connected.
Cloud Atlas is a movie coming out on the 22nd of February 2013. This film is from the directors of
Matrix, Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, and the director of Run Lola Run, Tom Tykwer.
Featuring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving, and much more, this movie is, to date,
the biggest and more expensive independant production, with an estimated budget
of $100,000,000. Produced by Cloud Atlas Production and co produced by seven other independent
production companies, the film is being distributed in the UK by Warner Bros. Cloud Atlas has been
Rated R(forbidden to under 15) because of the scenes of violence, language abuse, sexuality/nudity and
some drug use.

Our campaign
After seeing the six minutes trailer and doing some research, we thought that the factor of the travel
was a really important point in the movie. Always on the move, the characters are all in a journey, literally
and figuratively, to find out something about themselves an others. Most of the travel are either
done on the Pacific ocean, or linked to the sky (in the mountains or in kind of spaceships); this is why we
decided to turn our campaign to the experience of a journey. The catchphrase "Join the ride"
is linked to this experience of a personnal quest through the different elements. This is how we
will try to involve our target into the film's world. Such as Matrix, explaining the story of this film isn't a
simple task through usual materials such as trailers and posters. That is why it was important to make
participate the audience to incredible and mysterious experiences that could give them the
will to go to see the movie.

Comic Con
To market the film, we think it would be important and interesting for
Cloud Atlas to take part in the San Diego Comic-Con’s session (11th to
15th July 2012).
The Comic-Con event is the perfect place to promote the film directly to
its target audience, Cloud Atlas being a Sci-Fi and adventure themed
movie. Plus its worldwide coverage will get the name of the movie
mentioned all around the world and thus generate interest among
movie goers long before the movie comes out.
Press junket
The press junket will consist of a 3-day trip to Morroco, just a week before Christmas, for renowned
journalists from newspapers to magazines specialised in cinema, lifestyle, and for men and women. The
main aim of this operation is to make the film gain notoriety by press coverage, which is why we’re
going to give the journalists a real treat.
During this trip, they will have the opportunity to get a special screening of the movie and
interview individually members of the cast (Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, etc.) and the film
crew.
A welcoming party will be organised during the 1st night at the 5 star hotel where they will be staying.
On the last day, they will individually get to experience a 3D mapping that will make them dive into
world of Cloud Atlas, where they will travel through time and space just like the main characters.
They will first travel through natural landscapes such as mountains and forests, and then discover
futuristic landscapes and cities. Their experience will be filmed and given to them as a gift to go
home with so that they could share it with their family and friends and generate word of mouth.

Matrix operation
As part of the 10 year anniversary of the Matrix trilogy (from the same directors than Cloud
Atlas), we will arrange a partnership between these two Warner Bros films.
A special edition of the Matrix DVD box set will be released for the occasion and will include a golden
ticket offering the opportunity for fans to attend the premiere of Cloud Atlas along with the cast of
the film.
Owners of the DVDs will have to go to the Cloud Atlas’ website to register and enter the number
inscribed on their ticket. Only 10 tickets will possess the winning code for 2 persons to attend the movie
premiere on February 15th 2013.
In addition of getting media coverage for both movies, we will create traffic on Cloud Atlas’
website.
To promote this operation, in-store marketing will be placed in several DVD stores such as HMV.
This operation will take place before the launch of the trailer and the beginning of the movie’s campaign
allowing us to create mystery around this movie and encourage people to enquire it.

Augmented reality Trailer
Trailers of Cloud Atlas will be projected as usual in chosen cinemas, around one month before
the release of the film. But more than that, trailers in augmented reality will be broadcasted
before movies targeting the same kind of audience and coming out in january 2013 :
- NEMO 3D (movie in 3D version)
- Riddick: Dead Man Stalking (Riddick 3)
- Django Unchained (last tarantino)
- The Man With The Iron Fists (adventure film with Russell Crowe,Lucy Liu)
This trailer will show the room, filming in live. People will see on the screen iconic characters from
the movie going down the aisles. Then the « spaceships » from the movie wil appear from a corner
and race aroud the room as the exhilarating music will play. After the augmented reality part, the short
version of the normal trailer will appear on screen, so that the audience could remember the
film linked to the experience they just lived.

Street marketing
Hot-air balloon
An aerial event will be used to promote the movie, with a hot air
balloon in the heart of London, in a Thames side location. The
air balloon will be customized with the movie’s title written on
the balloon for people across London to see it from far away.
Pedestrians walking by will be able to fly over London for free
to live the Cloud Atlas experience and go home with movie
themed merchandise. The idea is to make them feel what it feels
like to be traveling in the air like the movie characters, and the aim is to create buzz with word of mouth
from both the passengers and those who saw the hot air balloon up in the sky, and thus gain
awareness.
Ship Parade
In addition to the aerial event, there will also be a ship
parade on the Thames. Pedestrians strolling alongside the
Thames will have the chance to see a large ship with pirates
on its board pretending to fight. ‘Cloud Atlas’ will be carved
on the ship’s hull to make the movie gain awareness and
generate word of mouth.
These 2 events are meant to remind of the movie’s
theme, which is traveling through space and time, and of
the elements that are conveyed through the movie’s title itself
(air and water).

Digital tools
Cloud Atlas App
During the campaign, an app for smartphones will be launched. The app will offer basic
informations about the movie, such as the trailer, latest news, exclusive interviews. The app
will also have a part where people can get informations to go through the Contest, like the articles
in which they have to look for to find out the code. Finally, the app will have an exclusive game, that
will be released later on, on Facebook.
Example of the Cloud Atlas App
Cloud Atlas Game
Thanks to the application, people will be allowed to play an « old school » game. Also displayed on
the Facebook app, the game capitalize on the look of old geeky games of the 80’s, as the actual
trend tends to use it more and more this year. The « nerd » audience will be delighted to see a game
with an old look, but pictures of the movie in the background. The game is simple and alternates,
regarding the levels, between a spaceships race (left), and a Cloud Atlas version of Space invader (right).
Example of the App’s exclusive game

JOin the ride
We’re going to launch a contest for fans to win tickets for a private event under the name of
Join The Ride, prior to the movie premiere.
The contest will consist of 3 spaceships (the ones that appear in the movie trailer) placed in 3
different locations in London where people are very likely to come across: Hyde Park, Trafalgar
Square and Camden Town. They will be installed on January 19th (same day as the ship and the balloon)
and start counting down to January 21th, where they will start giving out clues for the
contest on their screens for 3 weeks. They will also serve as an attraction, to get people
talking and wondering what they are and why they’re there.
Apart from being a complement to the air balloon and the pirate ship, these spaceships will also be used
to give clues for the contest : clues will be generated on a screen and will consist of numbers. In
order to find out what they need to do with these numbers, the contestants will have to follow the
movie’s Twitter account, which will give clues about what the numbers refer to (number of article,
page, line etc.). The contestants will have to find the 3 words that form «Everything is
connected» (the movie’s tagline) which will be randomly placed throughout different articles on the
movie’s official website. The contestants will then have to like the movie’s Facebook page in
order to enter the 3 words as well as their personal information (name, age, address, telephone number)
to enter the drawing. Their liking the movie’s Page will also help promote it on Facebook. The contest
will end on February 10th.
Of those who have correctly entered the name of the event, 250 will be randomly picked out to attend it
with a person of their choice.
The Join The Ride event is a place where fans can exclusively experience and explore the
themes of the movie before it comes out: travelling through different worlds, travelling through time,
travelling through the elements.
The event will take place on February 16th at the
Tate Modern, where the winners can :
- enjoy a buffet and an open bar
(disguised person = one free drink)
- go through the different universes that can be seen
in the movie (we’ll recreate some of the movie sets)
and have the possibility to check in to each universe
and take pictures without having to use their mobile

phones (they will be given wristbands synchronized to their Facebook account which will be used to
swipe across sensors on Facebook pillars) in order to share their experience with their friends
- experience awesome 3D mappings that recreate the magic of the film
- travel the world and the universe in a mini spaceship for 2 (much like Star Tours the motion
simulator attraction at Disneyland), guests can create their own itinerary
- play games and and go home with limited edition merchandises
The contest will be promoted through the website and the movie’s UK Facebook page.
