NEW DELHI – Sept. 7, 2012 –
Anthony E. Zuiker, the visionary creator of the CSI franchise, and his
production company Dare to Pass in partnership with market leader Dolphin
Digital Studios announced today the official worldwide premiere date, September
25, for Cybergeddon, a new digital blockbuster about the growing
threat of cybercrime starring Olivier Martinez and Missy Peregrym. Today also
marks the release of the official trailer now live at in.cybergeddon.yahoo.com.
Cybergeddon
follows the story of agent Chloe Jocelyn as she investigates a slew of
seemingly unrelated cyberattacks with fellow agent Frank Parker and incarcerated
master hacker Chase ‘Rabbit’ Rosen. Chloe and her team must crack the worldwide
cybercrime ring led by Gustov Dobreff before it is too late. In a world where
everyone is connected, everyone is at risk.
Cybergeddon will
debut exclusively in over 25 countries and 10
languages on Yahoo! in a series of nine digital chapters – three per day over
the course of three consecutive days.
The experience on Yahoo! includes
an immersive site featuring additional clips that provide a deeper narrative
with the characters, exclusive on-set photos, behind-the-scenes clips and
interviews with the cast and crew. It will also host a special section where
people can go to learn more about the stark realities of cybercrime.
Zuiker, Bill O’Dowd, CEO of
Dolphin Digital Studios, and the film’s creators made a firm commitment to
ensuring the storytelling around Cybergeddon was not only
highly compelling and suspenseful, but also inspired by real-life cybersecurity
concerns. To that end, the Zuiker team partnered with online security expert Norton by Symantec
throughout the creative process to lend technical insights.
“Cybergeddon is a
cinematic experience that breaks traditional rules. With the global
distribution arm of Yahoo!, we will give viewers a way to have more to do after
watching the segments to gain more knowledge and further interact with the
storyline and cast,” said Zuiker. “The best part is that all of this can be
experienced on any device, anytime and anywhere, day and date with the launch of
Cybergeddon.”
Cybergeddon
is a first-of-its-kind film co-produced,
distributed and financed by Dolphin Digital Studios in a deal brokered and
packaged by Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
