“POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” is the ultimate sellout movie. Detailing how product placement in media and entertainment actually works, this documentary by Morgan Spurlock opens this Friday (April 22, 2011). As you can see, POM get the above the title spot, but what we found most interesting was that Director Morgan Spurlock is running the streets wearing sponsor Merrell, footwear. For once, it’s cool to sell out.

UK-based Random House imprint Century has purchased world rights, including serial, for a survival-style handbook written by the British Army called “Be the Best at Just About Everything”. Set to be released in October, topics include how to survive an avalanche, cross a crocodile infested swamp, drink from a cactus or iron the perfect shirt. The book will promoted by the Army’s recruiting service with the PR campaign to include serving soldiers in the roles of “ordinary people doing extraordinary things”.
Tim Andrews, Century commissioning editor, said: “The British Army is a unique military institution, one that has constantly evolved and transformed itself and rightly has an international reputation as a prestigious, innovative and heroic organisation. This book reflects those values, and will be one of the most original, entertaining – and useful – gift books of the year, and a dead-cert Christmas present for fathers and sons up and down the country.”
