Put Yourself in the Director’s Chair

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve had a ton of schoolwork lately.

Anyway, the Back Lot Island gear pack for members has finally been released, and it has some pretty cool items. The Director costume includes a snazzy beret and a bullhorn so you can yell to your heart’s content.

During the production of a film, the same shot is usually filmed multiple times. Clapboards are used to signal when each “take” is filmed.

Last but not least, the Silent Treatment power allows you to turn your screen into a black-and-white film from the past. They don’t make movies like they used to, I say.

Quiet on the Set!

I don’t know if I have ever mentioned this, but I want to be a director when I grow up. Well, for me (and all those budding filmmakers out there), this news is a dream come true. Introducing…

Here’s the description for the island:

The greatest filmmaker of all time has come out of hiding, and he needs your help to make his masterpiece. But will you be producing the next big blockbuster, or is there trouble in tinseltown? From the first frame to the final cut, it’s lights, camera, action!

Members get an additional gear pack that includes the Film Director costume, Silent Treatment power, and Clapperboard item.

This poster gives us a few hints at what we will be seeing on Back Lot Island. You can see a Hollywood starlet holding an Oscar (or is it a Popscar?), Groucho Marx or some other silent film comedian, Elvis Presley, the guy who must be the director, King Kong, a suave-looking  film star (Maybe Tom Cruise?), Clint Eastwood, and Gollum and Bilbo from The Hobbit.

If you look closely at this sneak peek from the Daily Pop, you will see movie posters advertising for The Hobo, which is probably a parody of The Hobbit.

Last but not least, here’s the trailer for Back Lot Island. Like the other recent island trailers, it shows a cartoon in place of actual gameplay.

Say! That gives me an idea! What if there was a Poptropica cartoon series?

 

Snapshots

The Photo Album is a great way to look back at all of your past achievements, especially if you’re a member. Now, there are 133 different photos you can earn by playing through each island.

If you take a closer look at those photos, you’ll see that the Poptropican has a few special costume items, such as a money bag, question mark hat, and three eyes.

Join the Night Watch

I have been really busy lately due to schoolwork and vacation, but now I can finally get down to business. First off: Night Watch Island is available for members!

Non-members get to play a limited demo that ends when you are about to investigate a disturbance at the Macguffin store. You should play it; it’s really funny and cool!

 On Night Watch Island, you will have to endure mind-numbing situations that will test your limits to the fullest extent. Such as waiting in line for hours to buy this dumb gadget that everybody says is “the next big thing”.

Or maybe you’ll have to test your mettle against a terrifying bucking bronco known as… the Lone Pickle?!

Wait a minute. Take a closer look at that picture. Is that a Black Flags hat? Could it be that tribal merchandise will be released in the Poptropica Store sometime in the future?
