I have some EXCITING NEWS!!
Okay, most of you have been to my website.
Addicted2Depp ((If you haven't then go check it out)) I didnt think that it would ever get too popular, but it's gotten popular enough that I got an email from Vanessa Alonso who is the interactive marketing manager for the WB, asking me to help promote Corpse Bride.
Here are the two emails. *minus links*
Email #1It all began with a grave misunderstanding.
On the way home to his fiancee, Victor (Johnny Depp) stops to practice his wedding vows, placing his ring on a stick poking out of the ground as a joke. He gets more than he bargained for when the stick turns out to be the finger of a dead woman, and now the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter) is after him, claiming to legally be his bride and intent on showing Victor the time of his after-life.
Dear Webmaster,
My name is Vanessa Alonso, and I'm from Warner Bros. Pictures. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is coming out this September 23, and I'd like to offter you the opportunity to help Warner Bros. rise to the occasion. I'm very familiar with your Johnny Depp Lover site and I believe would be a great place to spread the word about his upcoming film Corpse Bride!
Corpse Bride is a movie about death, romance, and optimism, brought to life as only Tim Burton could create. Through the use of stop-motion animation (the same style used for Burton's 1993 hit The Nightmare Before Christmas), Corpse Bride utilizes Burton's unique visual style and dark sense of humor, along with the considerable talents of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Christopher Lee.
I'd love to work with you to promote this film, and I think it's something your visitors would really enjoy. I can send you great information, like movie pictures, banners, links to the official site, and other goodies. And if you'd like to set up a contest on your site, I can supply some fun movie prizes for your winners.
I've included a link to the official site and a more detailed summary of the film at the bottom of this e-mail to give you a better idea of what Corpse Bride is all about. Please let me know if you're interested in this movie, or if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon!

I'm so glad you're interested in helping the WB out with this movie. Well for
starters if you could put up a one sheet for the movie on your site and if you
could post a link the Corpse Bride's official website that would be great. I've
attached all the links to do so right below. (I'll send you the banner link
once I get my hands on it.)
Now for contests- we can do anything you want..it could be a raffle, a drawing
contest,
a Johnny Depp quiz, the options are endless... Prizes range from t-shirts, to
hats, to magnets. When I get more details I'll let you know specifics.
Now if you would like to do a contest- if you could post it up in a week (so
that more people have the opportunity to participate) and says something like
"Warner Brothers will be announcing prize details
Also, the WB is making some underground viral sites that not many people will
know about, when they're done I'll send you those links so that you can share
them with your fan base. These viral sites are pretty cool
