Japanese movie goers will soon know what Colin Ferrell smells like

[Initech]

TOKYO -- A theater audience in Japan will be sniffing their noses -- literally -- at a new Hollywood adventure film when it opens here later this month.

A new service from a major telecommunications company, NTT Communications Corp., will synchronize seven different smells to parts of "The New World," starring Colin Farrell.

A floral scent accompanies a love scene, while a mix of peppermint and rosemary is emitted during a tear-jerking scene. Joy is a citrus mix of orange and grapefruit, while anger is enhanced by a herb-like concoction with a hint of eucalyptus and tea tree.

The smells waft from special machines under the seats in the back rows of two movie theaters, which create different fragrances by controlling the mix of oils stored in the machines, company spokeswoman Akiko Suzaki said Wednesday.

1. I can safely say that Collin Ferrell is one person whom I would not

want to smell. I think he is kinda funky... and I bet he smells funky, too.




(Not really a Collin ferrell fan here. No particular reason, just not really crazy about him.)
