"Mamma Mia!" Film Launches New Website

By Andrew Gans
03 Jul 2008

A new website has been launched for the film "Mamma Mia!," which is scheduled to open in theatres nationwide July 18.

The website for the movie musical, which stars Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried, is located at www.mammamiamovie.com.

The newest features on the website include a "Love Hurts" quiz ("See if you've found your soul mate," read press notes) and a tour of Greece and the various island locations seen in the film, which is based on the international hit musical of the same name.

The website also allows visitors to. . .

  • Grab the "Mamma Mia!" Movie widget, featuring the "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" music video with Amanda Seyfried.

  • Watch the "Making Of" behind-the-scenes featurette.

  • Create and send an interactive Mamma Mia!-themed e-card.

  • Test your knowledge with the "Super Fan" quiz and browse through the photo gallery.

  • Download icons of your favorite stars and a variety of colorful wallpapers of scenes from the film.

  • Read about the film, cast and crew and watch the trailer and TV spots.

    The "Mamma Mia!" film also boasts a Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7226116036), a MySpace Profile (www.myspace.com/mammamiamovie) and a fans website (www.mammamiafans.com).

    The film, according to the Universal Pictures website, is described as such: "An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends-practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski)-from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.

    "On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities."

    The soundtrack for the new movie musical will be released on the Decca label July 8.
