What if the vibrant movie “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” by James Wan lost its colors? That is the question that organization Coral Gardeners and Warner Bros. Pictures asked the fans to bring awareness about ocean conservation and raise funds for coral reef restoration.
Through the digital activation “The Lost Colors”Warner Bros. Pictures partners with the nonprofit association Coral Gardeners to invite the audience throughout the world to bring back colors to the trailer of the highly anticipated “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” releasing internationally on Dec 20th and in North America on Dec 22nd by donating to coralgardeners.org/pages/thelostcolors to support reef restoration efforts.
Like Aquaman, whose mission is to save Atlantis and protect all ocean life, everyone can be its own superhero and join the movement to save the world’s coral reefs. These natural and biodiverse wonders are weakened by climate change, and thus losing their life and colors.
« With the mission to revolutionize ocean conservation and create a global movement to save the world’s coral reefs through active reef restoration, we are very proud to partner with Warner Bros. on the release of the movie “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” as Aquaman is literally the ocean Super Hero and has the power to rally audiences to our mission, » explains Titouan Bernicot, Founder & CEO of Coral Gardeners. « Besides, Jason Momoa has been a longtime supporter of ocean conservation and an ambassador of our project. He had the opportunity to discover our activities in French Polynesia and take part in coral gardening with us. He is not only a great actor embodying a Super Hero, he is also a true advocate for the ocean.»
With more than 75,000 corals planted since its creation in 2017, Coral Gardeners aim to scale up reef restoration around the world with the goal of 1 million corals planted by 2025 by empowering the local communities to become coral gardeners as part of a global movement.
“The partnership with Coral Gardeners around the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is another example of Warner Bros. Discovery’s commitment to positively impacting communities and contributing to environmental solutions through our global impact campaigns,” said Xavier Petit, Head of EMEA Brand Partnerships at Warner Bros. Discovery. “Together with audiences around the world, we can take part in wildlife conservation by bringing corals’ vibrant colors back into the ocean.”
« Protecting the ocean is not only a mission for superheroes but a duty and vital need for all human beings living on this blue planet. As a longtime supporter and ambassador of Coral Gardeners, I’m very proud that the release of the movie is an opportunity for everyone to take part in this movement and act now by planting colorful and resilient corals to preserve the ocean for future generations to come. » adds Jason Momoa, lead actor of «Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom".
From Dec 7th to Dec 22nd, everybody can join the movement and donate to Coral Gardeners on coralgardeners.org/pages/thelostcolors in order to bring back life and colors to the ocean, but also watch the black-and-white trailer of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” finding back its colors, in full effect.
