In what may sound like a plot to a new Spielberg movie, extraterrestrial beings reportedly have kidnapped the entire marketing team responsible for the upcoming sci-fi movie, 'The Creator'. The bizarre incident is creating quite a stir in Hollywood, leaving the promotion of the movie hanging in an intergalactic limbo. The film, which already has insiders on social media heralding it as "the next big thing," is filled with mind-bending special effects, challenging philosophical questions about the nature of existence and, ironically, plenty of alien invasions. The upcoming epic is a property of New Regency under its parent company 20th Century Studios, which in turn is now a happily adopted child of Disney. It would seem the marketing mavens were so busy figuring out their corporate lineage that they accidentally sent an interstellar SOS, summoning aliens to kidnap them from earth - a textbook manifestation of an existential crisis. Eye witnesses near the New Regency office building report seeing "unearthly flashing lights" and a "Silicon Valley startup's worth of people" being sucked up into a cappuccino-shaped spacecraft. One employee joked, "Well, at least someone finally acknowledged their out-of-this-world ideas." The employees in question have yet to be returned, giving a literal meaning to the 20th Century Studios' spokesperson's statement, "we are exploring new dimensions in advertising and taking it to heights never before reached." On the brighter side, the incident has taken the film's intrigue to a whole new level (hyperspace, to be precise). The studio is considering integrating the real-life drama into their marketing strategy, citing that alien abduction 'experience' beats any VR campaign hands down. Perhaps this experience will enhance the team's understanding of the target audience—after all, who better to market a sci-fi movie to than actual aliens? In a bizarre twist, several people claim to have received postcards from the missing employees, insisting that they're being well treated and are learning a lot about intergalactic PR strategies. In tragedies, we find hope, and in this case, an innovative think tank. With its release scheduled on September 29th, 'The Creator' is hoping the kidnapped marketing team will be back on Earth in time to take the movie's promotion to stratospheric levels (assuming they haven't decided to join an E.T PR firm). Meanwhile, the remaining team are working around the clock, trying to figure out how to add 'real-life alien invasion' as a valid excuse for delay in LinkedIn's dropdown menu for project setbacks.
