Corona Coming Attractions was one of the first websites to report on Hollywood films in development.[1] Originally the website got its start being a repository for collecting news tidbits about an initial 12 movie projects, gathering news breaks from magazines, television reports and newspapers. However, within a few short months after its launch the website began to receive emails from people working on the movies, from the crew, special effects technicians, agents that represented the above the line talent, studio personnel involved with the creative development of the project and ordinary people that had taken photographs or heard first-hand reports from movie projects that were shooting in their region of the country.
The site is credited with inspiring a wave of other movie news websites including Ain't It Cool News, Dark Horizons, JoBlo, Latino Review, Coming Soon and others.[2]
