And that's after Scion finished last year with sales 25% below 2006 figures. Its solution? Send in the clowns. Or, at least, send in the kung-fu puppets. Scion announced this week that it is partnering with another scion, Francis Ford Coppola's son, the director Roman Coppola. For Scion, Mr. Coppola has produced a live-action, nine-episode puppet series called "The Fist of Oblivion" that will appear on its marketing website, Scion Broadband. In "Fist," kung-fu-fighting puppets seek to exonerate a cop who has been sent to prison for murder; new episodes will launch every Tuesday through the end of December. ........ http://adage.com/madisonandvine/article?article_id=132486 Steve Axtell Axtell Expressions, Inc. http://www.axtell.com **************************************** Amazing Puppets & Magic The original content of this email or attachment is =A9 Axtell Expressions, Inc. _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
