Cinescape interviewed Gordon Paddison, New Line’s director of interactive publicity, this is what he had to say.
‘We wanted to (create) a place where we could start a dialogue with the fans. We didn’t want to slap something together that says “Go see the movie!”‘
Paddison also explains that the site will feature much more insights into the filmmaking process than other official sites.
‘We’re trying to setup something where we can be a conduit for official information without allowing the site to turn into a rumor mill’
