Got an email reply from Random Knowledge just now...

Nice work. I've added you as a friend to the cause. Watch your inbox for further instructions.

I hope I posted this in the right thread now that its all split up!

And I agree that speculating what this may or may not be promoting won't help us at this point.

To hell with trying to figure out now whatever it's gonna end up promoting. I want to a) know what shit is going to hit the fan next at that company, b) keep Nate from quitting or getting fired (or worse), and c) solve the next step given to us by RK.

The, it will be a "ah hah!!!" moment when it does hit us over the head (what ever it is promoting - I hope it's really cool).

I just read up about Dollhouse. It IS semi-futuristic, but it's still not very likely.

I'm guessing that once this ARG gets a little deeper, either creepy mind-wiped slave women or FBI agents and six-fingered mutants will come up eventually. We'll find out what we're on the trail of soon, and once we do either Fringe fans or Dollhouse fans will rejoice.

Either that or we'll be led to a website promoting a chef, which will confirm it's a Hell's Kitchen ARG. In which Hell's Kitchen fans can rejoice. That would be one original ARG.

Pizza, anyone?

Hmm, Holomove is looking for an Executive Chef. Wink

Terminator already had an ARG, so I somewhat doubt it's that!

TheBeginningIsTheEnd · Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 2:14 pm

Holomove is either a Fringe(Most likely), Terminator(Makes no sense to be honest.) or Dollhouse(Least likely. What the heck is it anyway?) ARG. Those are all the tags it was under.

I'm as skeptic as you guys are about the Holomove-Fringe link, but there's no planned Terminator ARG as far as we know(Nor Dollhouse, but that's a given) and Fringe's ARG was just recently confirmed.("You're not looking hard enough.")

Or, maybe, the tags have nothing to do with it and it's really a Hell's Kitchen ARG.

Pizza, anyone?

So, what is Fringe?

Quote:

Drama "Fringe," from Abrams' Bad Robot and Warner Bros. TV, revolves around a young femme FBI agent who works with an offbeat scientist to tackle cases involving unexplained medical and scientific phenomena.

Hey Fox, Bones called, they want their gimmick back. And with JJA involved... yeah, I expect full blown Cloverfield buzz, eventually.

Right now, one of the promo posters for Fringe (The one with the person(Homunculus? Artificial life is a fringe idea, so it's possible.)) has text hidden in it, which appears to be an article on the death of someone. I have the feeling that the death scene you guys found here has to do with it.

The one with the blurry newspapers and the person walking at the bottom? Where'd you find the hidden text?

Also... it seems odd that an ARG promoting a TV show has the poorest production value on its video segments. The blogs and websites are all way more convincing.

konamouse · Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 1:24 am

I'm still not seeing a link between Holomove and Fringe.
Here is a description of the pilot script.

A corporation called "Prometheus" is mentioned on the wiki article.

None of the characters in the show have been mentioned in the ARG.

Unless Holomove is eventually a company that these FBI agents will end up investigating in the future.

TheBeginningIsTheEnd · Posted: Thu May 22, 2008 9:21 pm

From what I can see, Holomove might be the company one of the characters in the show works for. Either that or that company that funds Holomove.

Maybe Holomove, a Holographic Interfaces company, is a curtain for Dr. Bishop's research? Maybe he faked Holomove to get funding for his research, or maybe it's a company trying to shut him down.

Who knows.

EDIT: If the previous poster was thinking of X-Files.. It's kind of like X-Files, except that it's not paranormal/unexplained things. It's basically stuff that IS possible, just at the "fringe" of modern scientific research.

Ohhh riiiight! X-Files... that's it! Thanks for reminding me! I'd nearly forgotten a series I followed compulsively for years! Very Happy

Thx for the better description though. Sounds pretty cool. There's no such thing as a new idea anyway...

And now we have an explanation of the high budget and even multicam death scene hehe
