MOTIVE ENTERTAINMENT LAUNCHES WWW.GETEXPELLED.COM,
IN RESPONSE TO MEDIA HYPE AND WIDESPEAD INTEREST
IN THE UPCOMING MOVIE,
“EXPELLED: NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED”
Major theatrical release starring Ben Stein to hit theaters in 2008
(LOS ANGELES, Calif.) November 21, 2007 – Motive Entertainment has launched www.GetExpelled.com, in response to the feedback regarding the upcoming 2008 motion picture release, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. The site is specifically designed for students, teachers, pastors, youth leaders and organizations who wish to delve into or learn more about the highly-controversial issues surrounding the debate between Darwinism and Intelligent Design:
- Learn about new scientific evidence that invalidates Darwin’s claims
- Hear from Scientists who are being SILENCED for those discoveries
- Learn how to DEFEND your BELIEF in God based on SCIENTIFIC evidence
- Learn what can and cannot be taught in schools and how that is CHANGING nationwide
- See a SNEAK PEEK of exclusive video clips from Ben Stein’s upcoming movie
- Learn how you can get FREE GROUP TICKETS to see EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed in theaters
The site will enable users to communicate with others, share insights and thoughts and post their own personal stories of how they were “expelled,” denied, hindered, shut-down or persecuted because they dared to question Darwinism, which is no longer being taught as a “theory” but rather as a “law.”
Filled with a myriad of helpful free resource downloads, www.GetExpelled.com will also feature information about EXPELLED events, including the Expelled Tour, which kicks off the movie campaign by traveling across America in a huge, boldly decorated bus, promoting the EXPELLED film. The bus tour will include press opportunities, promotions, live in-person interviews with producers and marketing executives, meetings and ground-breaking events (tour details at http://rsvp.getexpelled.com/events/movies/expelled) as well as a full online press room. The specially designed press room offers users quick and easy, one-click access to cast and film crew bios, press releases, high resolution stills, trailers and more.
Starring the ever-so-popular Ben Stein, EXPELLED is produced by Premise Media and uncovers the dramatic exposition of the current and often hidden persecution of educators and scientists who are being denied tenure and even fired in some cases, for their belief in the evidence of “design” in nature, challenging the idea that life is a result of random chance or the result of evolution.
Unlike other documentary films, EXPELLED doesn’t only present people representing one side of the story. The film confronts scientists such as Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, influential biologist and atheist blogger PZ Myers and Eugenie Scott, head of the National Center for Science Education. The creators of EXPELLED crossed the globe over a two-year period, interviewing scores of scientists, doctors, philosophers and public leaders. The result is a startling revelation that freedom of thought and freedom of inquiry have been expelled from publicly-funded high schools, universities and research institutions.
The film is currently being marketed by Motive Entertainment, the company that helped launch significant Hollywood blockbusters, including The Passion of the Christ, Polar Express and The Chronicles of Narnia. The grass-roots marketing campaign will include nationwide screenings and endorsements with key leaders, promotional materials, a promotional resource DVD, publicity, radio promotions and Internet. In addition, a pre-launch campaign will include partnerships with educators, youth, scientists, families and the media nationwide.
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is scheduled for release in theaters in 2008. Rocky Mountain Pictures, an established distribution company, which has enjoyed numerous box-office successes, will distribute the film.
