Miles Beckett and Greg Goodfried of EQAL, the producers of Web video hits Loneygirl15 and Kate Modern, have just released a trailer for Harper’s Globe, their latest online show in partnership with CBS. The Website will feature its own original side story to accompany Harper’s Island, a new show that will debut on CBS proper in April. Apparently, everyone dies by the end of the season—one murder per episode.
Harper’s Globe seems designed to build buzz for the TV show and create an online community. In addition to the original Web video series, there is also a forum, a social network to interact with the cast, and news from Harper’s Globe, the island’s fictional newspaper run by editor-in-chief Sparky Mackle. The video series stars one of Sparky’s terrified female reporters. Someone is trying to kill her! What a drama queen. Okay, that Joker-esque clown mask is really creepy.
EQAL raised $5 million in April, 2008.
Loneygirl15 was annoying and I could never watch an entire video, but if everyone dies in every episode this could be interesting. How will they get us to becomes fans of the show if we can’t develop an interest in the characters. This could be interesting.
yes, looks spooky. says it has expired. Or is that just for us folks from Continental Europe?

The video is also on youtube, that might work for people out of the USA/Canada. Not sure.
Very spooky!
I think the show is geo-filtered just for the US and Canada. Glad I live here, though, the show looks creepy and good.
Even Youtube has this video country restricted (I’m not allowed to view it in the UK). I think that’s the first time I’ve noticed it on there.
Erick,
Thanks for the write up. We are really excited! Hope everyone checks out the site and joins the community. Harper’s Island is going to be a great show and we think you will all like Harper’s Globe.

The show looks scary. The killer looks kind of like Jigsaw from all the Saw movies.
Great idea. Terrible acting.
