Oceans14.com
I purchased the domain oceans14.com a few years ago after seeing the movie Oceans 11. What a great & unique remake of a classic rat pack movie. I thought sequels would surely be made, and discovered that 12 and 13 were already registered, hence I got oceans14.
Cybersquatter? Not really; after all, I registered it loonnggg before anyone knew if there would even be 3 sequels. For that matter, Warner Brothers & Steven Soderbergh may choose to skip 14, go to oceans10, or simply call the next one Ocean & Company. Clooney, Pitt & Company could be sick of making them. Who knows?
But I’m not looking for a big check (I don’t even know if it is really worth anything – I’ll have to read up on cybersquatting laws), but maybe just something unique – just something to say “I was a part of this film”, or maybe just something useful to do with the site.
What would you do if you had this domain? Should I create a fan site instead? Anyone else registered movie name domains and then made a deal with studios? More importantly, Mr. Soderbergh, are you making another one?
If there is enough interest in this topic, I will setup another site at oceans14.com. Anyway, Oceans 13 will be released June 8, 2007. Visit the official movie site here.
