Try asking your friends whether they would like to watch The Greatest Movie Ever Sold and their reaction will most probably be: Okay which movie is it?
Get this straight. THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER SOLD is a movie title by itself and will be opening in theatres 6 October 2011! Whether this 90mins film will be the greatest movie ever sold, I do not know. However, it may be one of the greatest movies ever made in terms of its creativity and entertainment value.
The Greatest Movie Ever Sold was fully financed through product placement from various
brands. "Brands are everywhere these days. It seems like I can't go to any event
these days without someone sponsoring it. Sporting events, concerts,
anything. So, why not a movie? Better yet, why not a movie that examines
the whole phenomenon that is actually paid for by the companies
themselves," said Director Morgan Spurlock.
In fact, its full title is actually POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest
Movie Ever Sold. Morgan sold his "Brand X presents title name" to the highest bidder, POM Wonderful, the promegranate juice company which paid an substantial amount of $1 million!
And right below, you can watch this interesting featurette where Morgan travels to Altoona for the renaming ceremony of the town!

Presented in a documentary format, we are shown to the entire process that ranges from cold-callings, pitching, selling, promoting,
marketing to advertising of the film. And Morgan Spurlock has done a great job in the movie! You wouldn't want to miss its Movie Trailer at InCinemas.
