The other day we were thinking to ourselves, “What the hell has Drew Barrymore been up to lately?” (That’s not really true. We figured she was busy producing stuff and writing books.)
Turns out that she is starring in the Netflix original “Santa Clarita Diet, which is about—wait for it—zombies. But not the lame, non-English-speaking zombies of The Walking Dead.
From what we can tell, it’s a dark comedy about a suburban (read: California) couple who just happen to be addicted to eating people.
Doner L.A., which does a lot of work with Netflix, we’ve been told, came up with a cool way to promote it: interactive billboards or “thrillboards!” Note how Barrymore literally jumps from one screen to another in the endless search for BRAINS.
Who said OOH is dead? And while Barrymore is at it, can she eat all those YMI Jeans #wannabettabutt billboards? New Yorkers know what we mean.
We’ve been told that Doner had nothing to do with a separate series of Santa Clarita billboards deemed too bloody for Germany. But the agency has worked on projects promoting the Netflix series Stranger Things and House of Cards. Expect more to come on the latter.
Also, is it just us or does Timothy Olyphant kinda look like Bizzaro World Trivago Guy?
