How many FEAR the theatrical trailer for "SR" will end up beeing a TOTAL LET-DOWN?!

[Naite22]

...I thought about it, and now that it's ALMOST time, I'm a bit nervous (if not to say a lot).. I absolutely think that the next trailer will rock!.... But than again, there is a chance that it'll be a total let-down, right.. Am I the only one fearing this? Just what if.......oh my God it scares me just to think about it. Not that I think it will disapoint, but I FEAR it, ya know what I mean... Come to think of it, this next trailer is A LOT more importened than we might think. What if it fails? What if it holds back?!!:( :confused: :( :confused:

The upcoming trailer will either convince an OBSEEN amount of people to go see this baby!... Or it'll fail BIG-TIME! (and no matter what some say, the theatrical trailer IS very importened in this case!) THOUGHTS?

[The Fallen]

Just don't get you're hopes up. It's just a tralier for God sakes. If the movie bombs that's a different story, but it's a tralier? Seriously how good can a trailer be without giving too much away?

With that said I am personally looking forward to this trailer, and I hope it's awesome.

[Fatboy Roberts]

I agree with my comrade from Melboure ;)

He's right though. It's just a trailer. In the end, it's just an ad. This is a movie that marketing isn't going to make or break. The movie itself will do that.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Well, it really isn't just a trailer to some. It's very important actually, especially for the success of the film. There are several 'camps' out there with haters, lovers, and apathetic people among them, and it's gonna take a good trailer to convince those camps that this is the movie to make an effort to see.

The teaser really can't excite or disappoint, or even set those expectations. Neither really can pics, interviews, or BTS footage. You really don't have enough to base a particularly polar opinion on. You can be worried or skeptical or unabashedly excited beforehand and usually feel the same afterwards. A teaser isn't really anything more than "hey, we're making a movie, look"...

A trailer on the other hand certainly can. It presents information about the story, acting, production value, action, and many other things. It can give you enough to calibrate your expectations by scaling back rabid anticipation, alleviating skepticism, or something in between.

Count me in as someone who looks at the trailer as more than an ad.

[Fatboy Roberts]

I get you, but the number of movie viewers who gave the last teaser a pass because it was just a teaser, and for that matter can differentiate between teaser and trailer is VERY small. To them it's ALL trailers/ads.

[Naite22]

^ I think you're wrong... I personally know many who's seen teaser's to films and thought meh...than when they saw the theatrical they went nuts! That happened with both spidey 1 and 2!

The SR theatrical must scream, LOOK WHO'S COMING BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN!!

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Understood, but if what you say is true, let's hope the trailer makes a big enough splash and is effective enough to help people differentiate. Differentiate with extreme prejudice! :D

[Naite22]

Incredible that after you guys have read my first post, that you STILL say, it's JUST a trailer. Read what I wrote one more time. WRONG! It's not "just" a trailer... for you guys maybe, and I guess I could say the same.. but for the average movie-goer who wasn't too impressed with the teaser (where us fans get chills every time watching it!) this next trailer MUST reach out to EVERY ONE! It WILL draw in an obseen amount of people to see it (who wasn't planning on it) if this next trailer is a winner! Dont you get that.??

[dark_b]

i know that the trailer will be good because i have always low expectation.

the problem i have is that i fear that i will have to wait for the trailer one month.

[Naite22]

Dont you guys know how much money Warner Bros. has invested in this ONE MOVIE!!!... If it fails than they're butt-****ed!... For their sake, they better show why this movie will be huge in the next trailer!

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

It could be a let down to your slef.. sitting here for months without footage.anticipation so high...if it isn't what you want it to be.. its not the movies fault.

You're right, you're absolutely right... but all I'm saying is that they better not hold back with the next trailer... I dont want them to give the whole movie away, not at all... But there should be more then enough bad-ass footage in this film to give everyone a real taste of it in the new trailer... and that's what it needs!

[Fatboy Roberts]

Robo's also got a point. The level of importance seems pretty huge to us because we're here on the internet with thousands of posts devoted to anticipating it. Kinda puts us on a different plane than most people watching. A Spoilerhound POV, actually. I think your fear comes more from not being able to see more of the movie before it's actually released than it is a fear that the movie won't succeed.

but I'm not saying I DON'T want the trailer to be good. I'd like people to differentiate with extreme prejudice ;) but the trailer is not going to make or break this film, not with the sheer amount of TV ads and press blitzing this thing will undergo between May and June. It could hurt a little, it could help a little, but the movie is pretty much already critic-proof. The quality of the movie is the main thing. The number of people who will be turned off of the film simply because they don't like the trailer will be negligible--if this was an unknown quantity, the trailer would carry more importance. But everyone recognizes Superman.

Let me put it this way, if you're deeply and emotionally disturbed and hurt by what you think is a less-than-stellar trailer, forget about comics and their movies, get off the internet for a while, and go outside and enjoy the springtime.

I agree. SR deserves no less promo (both in quality and quantity) than current heroes franchises. Heck. . . he's the World's Greatest Hero.

Like John Lennon once said: "Before Superman, there was nothing."


Actually it was Elvis instead of Superman, but you know what I mean. . . . :D

[DOO BEE]

how many of you clicked on this thread and found it to be a total let down.....




close thread... please

[VGPOP]

It could be a let-down for some people here. Since they've been waiting for such a long time, they are expecting something beyond this world and when they see the final trailer, they can be dissapointed

[KaptainKrypton]

I have no doubts that I will not be let down from the trailer. I loved the teaser, and with the trailer having more footage (especially of Superman flying) I know I'll be in uber-dork heaven. Once I hear that theme blaring in accompaniment of the visuals, I'll be happy. Who knows, though, I might be different from some folks because I've been very happy with what I've already seen of the production. This isn't going to do anything more than increase an already high level of anticipation for me. Some people are on the other end of the stick from me so I know this will definitely be used as proving grounds or something along those lines. Plus, this is the trailer that'll most likely be plastered all over TV, so it better be good if they're going to rope in the general public.

[Excel]

i fear that a lot.

[That-Guy]

I don't care if the trailer is the equivalent of Bryan Singer wiping his ass on a roll of film... I just want to see the damned thing NOW! What the hell are they waiting for? We're getting down to TWO months, here!!!

[TheFalcon]

I have pretty high expectations to the trailer, but I'm pretty sure it will blow me away anyway. As long as there's some evil Lex, good Clark/Superman acting and some more cool Superman shots like the one infront of the sun in the teaser I will be happy. I'm really hoping that they'll show a bit from the plane rescue scene.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

To be fair..apart from some very good pictures, we really need to be blown away..there hasn't been anything other than pictures to carry this movie and think **** i need to watch that,

apart from us fans.. who wants to see it at all.

[Stringer]

Im expecting to be disappointed, its best to think that way.

[ruhanv]

Guys,

You really need to chill. Singer said that the teaser was just about telling people that the film is coming and putting it on their radar. Everyone in the industry understands that a trailer can make or break a film of this size and we can expect to be blown away in the next few weeks. Will the trailer contain:

Scenes with Krypton in tatters? Check

Clark being found by his mother after he crashed? Check

Clark being greeted back at the Daily Planet? Check

Clark and Lois interacting? Check

Lex scheming? Check

Shots of Superman flying? Check

Loads of action shot culminating with him trying to save the plane? Check

The action and flying scenes will be new to all of us. If the Showest footage was anything to go by, we are going to get blown away!

Is all of that confirmed?

[Agnarr]

I really don't fear it being a let down, as we know we are going to get to see flying effects, parts of the plane sequence, etc. But that doesnt guarantee a "good" trailer to the general public. I'm already sold on the movie. The trick is selling to the people who are indifferent/negative. Even if the trailer is poor (which it probably won't be), there is always word of mouth advertising.

The trailer for Serenity sucked. Then I kept hearing how good the movie was and saw it, and loved it. I think the problem was that for once they didn't give everything away in the movie, so you could actually watch with anticipation. So many trailers are "fake" in the sense they are created just to sell a crap movie, and that they give away too much of the plot, that its weird to see one that doesnt.

For Superman Returns, it's at least going to be better than the mish-mash X3 trailer by default, right?:p

But of course, with this I'm not sure I'm going to care if they give away everything in the trailer, because I've been here for years, and the game is up. It might be nice to be completely surprised, but as it is now I'll just have to wait and see what Bryan has up his sleeve. You know there's more to the film than he's letting on.

WB you have 48 hours for :supes:

[That-Guy]

Yeah, the fact that all we've really gotten is some pictures and a VERY short (though still very effective) teaser is frustrating as hell. It's like this one time I saw this actor on a late night talk show (can't remember who it was) and he was promoting a movie but instead of bringing a clip of the film, he brought PICTURES of him and some of the other actors in certain scenes. I don't remember if it was a joke or if he was just an idiot, but either way, I remember being pissed.

[musclesforsupes]

I think I will call my source to make sure its correct.

[Octoberist]

I think that WB needs to hit this trailer out of the ballpark.

I thought that WB's campaign for Batman Begins was weird. The ads were there of course. At the sametime, it was very lowkey.

[Showtime]

I only know one tidbit about the trailer.

[Immortalfire]

I only know one tidbit about the trailer. So do I. It's never coming. The movie will be released without it, the teaser last fall is the only preview we'll ever see. :eek:

No fears or doubts.

[MatchesMalone]

Let me make it really clear for everybody.

This trailer will not live up to your expectations. The film will not live up to your expectations. That's because your expectations seem to include Jesus Christ playing hockey with Vishnu while Yogi Berra does commentary.

Everybody needs to realize what this is going to hopefully be: a fun, beautiful, well-shot and well-acted fantasy action movie. Nothing more, nothing less. Its relative value to you will be entirely up to you and your opinion. But to try to objectify this film's merit is pointless. It is completely subjective.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Thanks for predicting my future, Matches. Now that I know the trailer will disappoint, I can stop looking forward to it. Hell, the film may disappoint too. I think I'll stop waiting for it as well. If that's the case, what am I doing on a messageboard talking about it?

I was over-generlizing for the sake of impact. I never said you would be disappointed. I said it would not live up to most people's insanely high expectations here.

I encountered it on the Batman boards last year. Everybody talking about oscars and life-changing experiences before the film was released. Batman Begins was a great film. Life-changing? Uh, no. Oscar-worthy? Maybe in the designs. Definitely not for the film as a whole.

Fandom, like most macroscopic human behavior, is inherently predictable.

Very true Matches, what you have said sums up all that I expect this movie to be.

[Lightning54SC]

LIFE CHANGING expectations...im LAMO

ive yet to see a superman film on the silver screen thats all im excited bout....i get to see one and for people who take this stuff too serious... the trailer will kick butt and no worrys its just a movie...let it go! also oscars will only be for music score or visual effects.... this is not My Cousin Vinny here..there wont be a best actor or actress in this film

[That-Guy]

This trailer NEEDS to be good and it NEEDS to show up SOON. Why? Let me explain. Allow me to share something personal for a moment.

I recently met this girl who is intelligent, beautiful, and loves Lord of the Rings and Batman Begins. What more could I ask for, right? But here's the thing. She's REALLY excited for X-Men 3, but isn't too sure about Superman Returns. And can you blame her? I mean, for the average person (meaning someone who isn't like us... doesn't read comic books or talk to people regularly on superhero message boards), it would make sense that she'd be more hyped for X-Men 3 because we've seen more of that film. We've gotten solid footage. Granted, it comes out earlier than Superman, but even so... Superman is facing more of a challenge because its a franchise that hasn't seen a new film in almost 20 years, and what's more, the last two Superman films were awful. So awful, that Bryan Singer is more or less keeping the first two in continuity and retconning the other ones. Plus, there's still the problem of people not being able to see anyone but Christopher Reeve as Superman, because he fit the character so well. Now I think all of this could easily change... IF they release the trailer soon. And by soon, I mean now. A short teaser which doesn't even have any new dialogue, some promotional photos (some of which are very good, but even I will admit others are very uninspiring)... there hasn't been anything to get the average, non-comic-book-or-superherohype fan enthused. Please, WB... this could be the greatest superhero movie ever... if so... don't let it flop due to poor marketing. We got so bombarded with V for Vendetta and Constantine previews that I got sick of them... I know both of those films needed more hype than Superman or Batman because Supes and Bats are iconic... but people still need to KNOW that there is a Superman movie out there.

[MatchesMalone]

Very true Matches, what you have said sums up all that I expect this movie to be.

But really, what more could anybody ask of a movie such as this?

I hate to tell some of you: this movie will not fulfill your soul. It will not make up for anything lacking in your life. Neither will the character of Superman, in the grand scheme of things.

Part of growing up (and I assume most here are at least in their teens) is to realize the important aspects of your own life and change from within, in order to become mature. I love Superman. I will always admire the character and the concepts he embodies. But I cannot assign such life-shaking importance to the character as I once could as a child. Retreat into fantasy is for entertainment, not escape.

[scifiwolf]

I'm with Matches. Be curious and interested to see what the trailer will be, same with the movie. But don't need it. Like I said earlier, get the hell outside and enjoy this beatiful spring weather.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I got a good idea. How about letting the people that are greatly anticipating the trailer do so without people questioning their excitement and/or trying to dismiss the validity of it with long-winded explanations. I'm very excited about the trailer as I am a big movie buff, and no amount of prosecuting from anyone especially here is going to change that. I certainly don't feel bad for looking forward to a trailer for a film I hold as my most anticipated film of all time.

Thanks, and I'll be waiting for the trailer now.

Or, you could understand that my post was in response to the title and subject of this thread, my response to that question, and the posts that have been in direct response to mine.

Either way.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Sure, the original poster is also very excited for the trailer, admittedly more excited than myself, and simply expressing his concern that it won't live up to his highly placed anticipation.

I just find it funny that people tell him not to get his "hopes up" when they're obviously already "up" and very little is going to change that. I'm sure he was just wanting conversation from people about that and not about why he shouldn't feel a certain way, but that's just my opinion.

And I only ever offer my honest viewpoint. Should I censor myself? Maybe the OP will read what I have written and find some insight. Maybe not. But I am glad I wrote it, and I hope that some who read it will find where their interest for a new Superman movie really matters in their lives.

I am not saying it doesn't matter. Obviously, it matters to all of us to some degree, else we would not be here. What I am concerned about is the degree to which a piece of entertainment can produce such anxiety in people. I classify that as unhealthy.

It's nothing new; it's on the same path that leads to people getting trampled at concerts or sporting events, or why Red Sox fans are so good in barfights. But it is unhealthy, because entertainment is temporary. It leaves no lasting fulfillment. That is why fans migrate, from Marvel to DC to Star Wars to Anime, etc.

There's lots of this so called "unhealthiness" around then. I see much worse when sports teams do not win. People get caught up in entertainment to the point to where they can get emotionally affected. This guy's a little worried, but hardly anything I would consider unhealthy.

Anxiety? Heh. Events in real life are much worse.

And my posts weren't really addressed to you specifically. Just the people that were trying very hard to convince someone they're wrong for being a little over-excited.

But than again, there is a chance that it'll be a total let-down, right.. Am I the only one fearing this? Just what if.......oh my God it scares me just to think about it. Not that I think it will disapoint, but I FEAR it, ya know what I mean... Come to think of it, this next trailer is A LOT more importened than we might think. What if it fails? What if it holds back?!!:( :confused: :( :confused:

The upcoming trailer will either convince an OBSEEN amount of people to go see this baby!... Or it'll fail BIG-TIME! (and no matter what some say, the theatrical trailer IS very importened in this case!) THOUGHTS?

I have no such fear. Even though SR isn't the Superman film I hoped for, the teaser blew me away, and i expect the full trailer to do the same.

Superman is an above-average hero. Therefore I expect an above-average trailer.

i hate seeing fans have no faith in the move... but they have little faith in a move trailer, like come on...... honestly.... but i was expressing my opinion towards the fan who have little faith....... and you didn't have to be a jerk i was having some fun it was late at night wherei am i was just joking around with you guys.,...... do us a ****ing favour and get a sense of homour you cock!

[The Game]

But really, what more could anybody ask of a movie such as this?

I hate to tell some of you: this movie will not fulfill your soul. It will not make up for anything lacking in your life. Neither will the character of Superman, in the grand scheme of things.

Part of growing up (and I assume most here are at least in their teens) is to realize the important aspects of your own life and change from within, in order to become mature. I love Superman. I will always admire the character and the concepts he embodies. But I cannot assign such life-shaking importance to the character as I once could as a child. Retreat into fantasy is for entertainment, not escape.

and thats a powerful avi

[MatchesMalone]

Hopefully, it'll be a lot better than the less-than-great teaser.

I thoroughly enjoyed the teaser. It was just the right snippet of good they showed. I'm especially glad they actually teased us, rather than just throwing up explosions and all the best action scenes right away.

It was classy. I can only hope for more of the same from this production.

i am sorry C.Lee... i went out ot a party and had a cool down lol now i am back and yeah i will respect other opinions toward their feeling towards the features trailer being a let down or not....... soory man, and Naite22 sorry man i didn't mean to get ****ty at ya its just you were being an ass to me and i don't take sarcastic remarks to well........


for those who know me and are wondering why i am so nice.... probably coz i am so drunk i don't know what i am writing....lol

Why don't you leave your spamming in community? I'd hate to have to tell you what my definition of "arfo" is concerning you.

[GothicPowerMix1]

I wonder how many times he has been warned & he still does what he does :confused: I wonder whats more annoying watching him spam or watching mods warn him every other week telling him to stop when only a week later he continues

[Immortalfire]

At least he didn't come in here saying "Superman Returns trailer will be sooo Randor"

Musclesforsupes puts the "obese", in "obsessive".

[Super_Ludacris]

I was just saying in the SV threads maybe the WB will air a special programme on Superman Returns in May or June rather than a 10 min preview or release a trailer

maybe?

I can see how my post may have been a bit pushy, but honnestly I didn't feel like I said anything but the truth... you on the other hand uses exstreme ugly language, wouldn't you say`??

[Il_Siciliano]

I think if more people listened to Jazz there would be less arguing. But that's just me.

Matches Malone is wrong though. SR can change people's lives. I have become the laughing stock of my flat for having the Krypton Theme as my ringtone. Girls don't understand John Williams.

[Super_Ludacris]

lol@ you being proud of that.

[Il_Siciliano]

^ Hey i gotta stick to my guns. But I'll tell you this much: my flatmate Rachel? She doesn't give a crap about SR, but she kept a Wilde world's finest manip (with the first official shot of Routh in the suit) as her desktop wallpaper for almost a year now, since I put it there.

I'm just spreadin' the love baby.:D

Well, at least you stay true to your intrests. You get respect points for that

She actually admitted that. But I'm not going to help her get it off.

[Il_Siciliano]

Yeah man, screw it. My favourite things in life are music, drugs and Superman. All the rest is just a colourful distraction :)

Plus, i like The Krypton theme. What, I'm gonna change it because my flatmates don't? They have their own phone, they can put whatever ringtone they want on theirs.

...I thought about it, and now that it's ALMOST time, I'm a bit nervous (if not to say a lot).. I absolutely think that the next trailer will rock!.... But than again, there is a chance that it'll be a total let-down, right.. Am I the only one fearing this? Just what if.......oh my God it scares me just to think about it. Not that I think it will disapoint, but I FEAR it, ya know what I mean... Come to think of it, this next trailer is A LOT more importened than we might think. What if it fails? What if it holds back?!!:( :confused: :( :confused:

The upcoming trailer will either convince an OBSEEN amount of people to go see this baby!... Or it'll fail BIG-TIME! (and no matter what some say, the theatrical trailer IS very importened in this case!) THOUGHTS?

Nah. All it needs for me to be happy is...

1- Superman Theme.
2- Superman flying.
3- Luthor being evil.
4- One classic 'Superman' moment.

And I am sure we will get those in the trailer :up:

[Super_Ludacris]

Pretty much

Yes, I'm sure we'll have a little taste of each of these in the trailer:up:

[Super_Ludacris]

Well the trailer has to have those things cause there basic recognisable signs to a Superman franchise

[Weadazoid]

The trailer is important..but also..where is the Promotional campain..???


I know X men 3 is out a month earlier...but it seems they have been kicking it up a nothc for a like 2 months now..an early March relase of the trailer on Fox TV with a hugely popular show in 24, and now a bonanza of Movie Posters are poping up all over the place... you had the take a stand bus posters now there are these brand new make a choce posters.


meanwhile...

Superman had a teaser out long before the X men had thier first teaser... but now it seems people, have almost forgot, with only one movie poster out and almost no visable promotions except for some old magazine covers.....


I am starting to worry a bit...

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I'm not worried about the trailer.. at this time i'm worried about a lack of trailer.

[Showtime]

Don't be worried. Today is April 23rd. We will be getting something in the next 19-20 days, which is a little under 3 weeks. Then before you know it, the movie will hit. We're golden.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Yeah..

well it wouldn't hurt to at least have a description, If we are that close to it.

[dark_b]

Don't be worried. Today is April 23rd. We will be getting something in the next 19-20 days, which is a little under 3 weeks. Then before you know it, the movie will hit. We're golden.i am calm because i just dont care. but in the next 20 days? than they dont need tv-spots if they will realese the trailer right before the premiere :)

[Alonsovich]

I'm not worried about the trailer.. at this time i'm worried about a lack of trailer.

I'm worried for both reasons...:o

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I'm worried for both reasons...:o


Really..

lets hope your first worry isn't warented.

[Showtime]

It would be cooler if we did.

[Showtime]

i am calm because i just dont care. but in the next 20 days? than they dont need tv-spots if they will realese the trailer right before the premiere :)

The next 20 days includes the following:

1) MI3 Premiere
2) Smallville Season Finale
3) Poseidon Premiere

After the Poseidon premiere there will be at least 1 1/2 months or around 45 days left until Returns premieres. You're saying they don't need telelvision spots?

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I'm still going with MI3, It's going to do more buissness than posiden.

:up:

[Showtime]

I think it will be attached to both movies.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

^^

really..that is a possibilty..

smallville might just announce when its airing?

[Alonsovich]

I'm still going with MI3, It's going to do more buissness than posiden.

:up:

I would bet on Poseidon (if I hadn't spent my money in Wiener Schnitzels...:o ), because it's a WB movie... still... I agree that MI3 will make more buisness so it could be an interesting option to put the trailer. 100% sure it's one of those two movies where they'll put it...

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Agreed both movies will be a PG 13 / 12a here in england.. so it its strange not to put it with a kiddies movie..that might tell us something of the target audiance they are aiming for.. more than 8 year olds.

[Showtime]

My theories are as follows:

1) Theatrical Trailer premieres with Smallville on May 4th and then is released
online, followed by it's attachment to MI3 on May 5th.

2) Theatrical Trailer is released with MI3 on May 5th. Shows on television
with Smallville Season Finale and is shown online. Then is attached with
Poseidon.

At this point I think we will only get the trailer with Smallville, no footage like Begins, only because Singer doesn't want the general public to be clued in to that much footage. It is a pattern.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

MiIII

comes out on the 4th here in blighty... could we get the trailer then here in england? because we do not get smallville finale yet..this may work out.

[Showtime]

Anything is a possibility at this point.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

You mean i could finally get to hump Avril Lavigne.

:o

[dark_b]

I think it will be attached to both movies.wasnt this obvious.:confused:

of course the trailer would be attached to both movies if it would premirer with MI3. there is no question with what movie will the ttrailer be attach. teh question is when will the trailer theatrical premiere.

or am i wrong? :)

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

That would be May the 4th.

:up:

[Showtime]

wasnt this obvious.:confused:

of course the trailer would be attached to both movies if it would premirer with MI3. there is no question with what movie will the ttrailer be attach. teh question is when will the trailer theatrical premiere.

or am i wrong? :)

By your logic, yes it is, if the trailer is attched with MI3 then of course it will be with Poseidon.

Me posting that it would be attached to both movies means that I knew it would be attached with Poseidon, but was also predicting it was definately with MI3.

Actually, the topic of the post involves the trailer being a let down.

[Alonsovich]

Wrong, the movie has been cancelled... that's why there isn't a trailer out already...:o :up:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

If i had tear ducts i would cry.

1) Theatrical Trailer premieres with Smallville on May 4th and then is released

2) Theatrical Trailer is released with MI3 on May 5th. Shows on television

At this point I think we will only get the trailer with Smallville, no footage like Begins, only because Singer doesn't want the general public to be clued in to that much footage. It is a pattern.i agree that there will be no preview.

plus i think the trailer will be out with smallville finale. not because it is the best way. but because it is teh last time they can attach it. you know the maxximum time to wait. :D

[Naite22]

I'm thinking, they must REALLY be going for something SPECIAL for this next trailer, seeing how they haven't pushed one out a long time ago... They need surden scenes to be completed because Singer has a speciffic vision for the trailer... Can't wait to see it!!!.......................SOON!

[Showtime]

You know what's going to be great DB, when a couple weeks from now you are prancing around posting how great the trailer is, how great the movie looks, and how great WB is.

I will love every minute of it!

[Naite22]

^hehe It'll be like christmass around these boards!:)

i know that i will love every minut of the trailer. and i am sure that i will love the movie. until now i like almost everything. i liked every minute of the BB and ROTS trailer.

like i said it earlier: i have a feeling that after the trailer will be realesed i will say: it was worth the waiting :):up:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it will be.

[Super_Ludacris]

It will drop mid may

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

mid may..

damn..i want it early may.

[Super_Ludacris]

I'm only guessing here

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I know..

[dark_b]

may is ok. but mid may is to late. by that logic they could realese it in june. so they can finish even more of the movie and make even a better trailer.

[Showtime]

Early to Mid May is perfectly fine for the release of the trailer, you're talking anywhere from 60-45 days before the release.

[Super_Ludacris]

Basically

[dark_b]

Early to Mid May is perfectly fine for the release of the trailer, you're talking anywhere from 60-45 days before the release.if this is such a smart move than why are other stuidos not doing it like that?
if you think about it is makes the most sense. to realese the trailer as late as possible.plus you have the effects finished.

i wonder why are other moviesrealeseing teh trailer sooner :confused:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

^^6

there scared of Returns..they need to get it out early..because once WB get going on the marketing properly.. it will be..pirates who?

[dark_b]

there scared of Returns..they need to get it out early..because once WB get going on the marketing properly.. it will be..pirates who?this is a joke right? i hread this stuff now from januar. and why would the stuidos be scared of SR? noeone knows if this movie will be so good and if it will be a hit.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Two words DB

ITS SUPERMAN!

:rolleyes:

[dark_b]

Two words DB

ITS SUPERMAN!

:rolleyes:last year it was teh batman. and it didnt made tons of money. we are now at the time where nothing like it was. things change. and people are different.

BB 2 will make more money than BB because people will see that it was better than they thought after seeing it on dvd. i think the same will be with SR. but SR didnt have the marketgin like BB.

we will see. i will like the movie. the queston is if others will.

What makes everybody else's marketing strategy the right way to go and WB's wrong? You can look at it either way.

Some of the most famous inventors, political leaders, and scientists have gone against popular opinion and have had more influence on society than anyone. Not that I am comparing the marketing strategy of a movie with the contributions of Einstein or Newton.

Also, each movie has to be marketed in a different way. You can't really compare Superman Returns and X-Men 3 because they are supehero movies, one is a sequel and the third part of the trilogy and the other is a semi-sequel to a movie that hasn't hit the screen in about twenty years.

You can't criticize the marketing strategy thus far because the fans, people on the Hype and Bluetights, have 10 times more information than th average movie goer. You are obviously exploding with anticipation so the marketing has worked on you. The trailer is being prepared for the general public, action, romance, and plot information.

[GreenKToo]

TRUE,but people have had several batman movies in the last 10 to 15 yrs.we havent had a superman movie in 20 yrs.people are really anticipating this.last year it was teh batman. and it didnt made tons of money. we are now at the time where nothing like it was. things change. and people are different.

[Excel]

w.b.s marketing strategy is good. great. i want this film to make as much dough as it can and ill say without a doubt that this is the right way to market it.

[Showtime]

i am not criticizing.i am just asking questions. :)

That critcizing comment wasn't really aimed at you, just a general comment, that their marketing campaign has created quite a buzz on the boards.

[dark_b]

TRUE,but people have had several batman movies in the last 10 to 15 yrs.we havent had a superman movie in 20 yrs.people are really anticipating this.
1. fans are anticipating this. general people dont know that this year is the year of superman. and the movie coems out in two months :o.
2. we had 4 superman movies. ;) just like with hbatman.

again i have nothing against the promotion. we will see if it was good after teh summer. what i dont get is tha tthe toys and everything else that has to do with the kids is getting realesed and has pics out. but from the movie nothing.
like i said it several times.it looks that this movie has so much complex effects that it needs a lot of time. which means that this movie will visual kill us. of course kill in a positive way :)

[dark_b]

That critcizing comment wasn't really aimed at you, just a general comment, that their marketing campaign has created quite a buzz on the boards.i thught it was like that. but i just had to make sure :)

[GreenKToo]

yes we have had 4 superman movies,but not in the last 15 yrs.

[GreenKToo]

All i'm saying is that, their is a whole new generation that has not saw superman on the big screen,and I think that will make a difference.IMO.

[dark_b]

so superman 15 years and batman 10 years. where is the difference?

[GreenKToo]

First batman was in 89'..I have cousins that saw it,last superman was in 86,they didnt see it because they were to young,we had batman all the way up to 97,with batman and robin.and last yr with BB.No superman since 86,I just think it will make a difference since it has been so long without one is all.

[Super_Ludacris]

Superman may not be as relevant to the general public as other heroes but it may makes it's dough

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Superman is massive..huge..no matter how we talk about it..it has a broader appeal than Batman.

[Super_Ludacris]

I would argue the 5 Batman movies had more appeal cause they more recent. We dont know for sure if Superman still has the same appeal as Spidey, X-Men, Bats etc but we will see......

[dark_b]

Superman is massive..huge..no matter how we talk about it..it has a broader appeal than Batman.he is bigger than batman. but that doesnt mean that it will make more money.
i fear that general public wont like the action in SR.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I would argue the 5 Batman movies had more appeal cause they more recent. We dont know for sure if Superman still has the same appeal as Spidey, X-Men, Bats etc but we will see......


precisely my point..batman is more recent..the world is ready for a new superman movie.

[explode7]

Although u haven't seen the action yet you fear that people wont like it. WOW thats amazing intuitive skills.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

he is bigger than batman. but that doesnt mean that it will make more money.
i fear that general public wont like the action in SR.


I find that unlikely

the sight of superman saving that plane is going to have the same effect as Supes saving lois with the helicopter in the first movie.

Thrilling.

[explode7]

Or spiderman saving people on the train in spiderman 2.

[Super_Ludacris]

precisely my point..batman is more recent..the world is ready for a new superman movie.


They are? or just Superman fans? I am but I'm not everyone that's all.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Good point.

:up:

[dark_b]

Although u haven't seen the action yet you fear that people wont like it. WOW thats amazing intuitive skills.you have more types of action. the action when two supervillains fight. and action when a guy saves people from eartqueakes. car action and so on.

and we know what type of action will be in this movie.

[explode7]

O I see what you mean now. :up:

[Super_Ludacris]

Yep

[dark_b]

I find that unlikely

the sight of superman saving that plane is going to have the same effect as Supes saving lois with the helicopter in the first movie.

Thrilling.to be honest. i think that if you have a supervillain you can have action when superman fights teh villain and action when he saves people. and since there is no supervillain superman wil lonly save people. so how much action will there be? the plane sequence and the earthqueake scenes.

and thats it right?

well he is almost going to die through the hands of lex luthor..and he is Returning after nearly 20 years off the big screen.. a super villian is to much.. this movie is about relationships.. i don't see room for a super villian yet.

[explode7]

Hope we get one in the sequel:up: And please no Brainiac and Zod. I want to see something out of the ordinary.

[dark_b]

well he is almost going to die through the hands of lex luthor..and he is Returning after nearly 20 years off the big screen.. a super villian is to much.. this movie is about relationships.. i don't see room for a super villian yet.i would give lex for about 5 minuts super powers for a 5 minute fight.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Its not time for a super villian..

[GothicPowerMix1]

It seems that Smallvilles Lex Luthor might be getting Super Powers of his own soon. (during the Finale it seems) Would the new Franchise copy over that ?

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

^^

He is?

that sucks balls.

[dark_b]

It seems that Smallvilles Lex Luthor might be getting Super Powers of his own soon. (during the Finale it seems) Would the new Franchise copy over that ?i wanted it in SR. so technicaly SR would be the first.

Thrilling.

Well played. Thrilling indeed. :up: I picked up the new edition of Sci Fi magazine with Routh on the cover and one of Brians friends is a writer for the mag and he didnt an interview and had this to say. "As a ship navigates a stretch of canyon, a massive structure comes into view. Loaded with temporary pre-vis shots, its not the CGI that thrills me. Its the sight of the monument that looms in front of the ship, a once noble symbol now and object of dread. The image brilliantly conveys the heart of Superman's personaly tragedy: the destruction of his home and the loss of his parents.................Beyond effects, beyond action-although the movie has loads of each- Superman Returns is a love story, funny, warm, and unbelievably human"

Randolph Giudice, Sci Fi Magazine.

This magazine has a really good article on Returns, I definately suggest buying it or at least taking a quick read over it.

I'm not all that concern the theatrical trailer will be crap & not good. I think it will be so awesome, that it will give me woody. If it don't give me woody, then something is wrong. :eek: :p

[Agnarr]

^LMAO. I was hoping that I would come back this weekend and see the trailer online.:( Trying to be patient . . .

[SolidSnakeMGS]

The teaser was great and I think the trailer will be even better.

Today was a good news day with the insider info and the Ottman interview.

[OzzMosiz]

Still can't quite understand why we have no trailer when the film is out in 9 weeks! :(

[Octoberist]

I really don't understand either. Warner Bros is probably hold back but man....I'm getting impatient.

[Showtime]

Within the next 10-14 days everything should be settled with the trailer.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Next week,is the week we are all looking forward to.

[dark_b]

after the trailer and teh poster this baby will get what it deserve.

the traielr will be on all tv programs. like with batman and matrix.


and people will start to realize that 2005 was the year of batman and 2006 he returns. superman returns ;)

[Milkman95]

I'm officially disappointed with WB's lack of marketing - let's hope once the trailer is released it's not only a good one, but it's one that will be jaw dropping. The poster should at least be released, come on.............

At this time last year we had TONS of Batman Begins stuff, and people we're still complaining about the marketing for that film.......

[dark_b]

i am not an expert for marketing. but we will see if the name superman is enough ;)

Believe me, if I could be the main marketing producer, we all would be happy :) :up:

[bgshw44]

show the trailer with all the big may movies, and then all out tv billboard promotional tie ins in June up till the release. There is no competition besides POTC 2, but to advertise now when you have the big May movies is a waste of money.

Man, these boards are gonna sizzle:ghost: like bacon when the trailer finally appears.
Just think of all the useless threads then, huh!:eek: I just want to hear the march again,and see Brandon silence the unbelievers. Come on June 30th
:supes:

[bgshw44]

Are you talking with me??

no, just the people who want tv spots now etc.. It really is a waste when you think of it, but I definately expect an all out blitz in June. For now, put the trailer online, get some internet buzz. Then next week, start the theater promotion w/ the posters and trailer.

[Octoberist]

I really think that Warner Bros needs to release the offical posters now, with Routh's mug in it's glory. They still haven't done that..

[eXperiment]

Not me, its going to rock. Lol

[Agentdemon]

You really don't want to show too much footage of the film in trailers/teasers. Hulk showed pretty mich every big action scene which IMO, helped make it more crappy. It could have been the directing....:D

thats because milkman, in todays box office, the ONLY marketing that has ANY effect on the public happens in the 4 weeks leading up to release date. at this point, april, batman had ton sof stuff. but uh-oh, its june and buzz/hype is low cause "opps! we already released EVERYTHING".

w.b. has learned from their mistakes;, cause you how much money they have left in the marketing budget? a LOT. 75-80%. thats around 53 million of its 70 million u.s makreting budget-thats ALOT OF STUFF to release in a 2 month period.

may/june, for superman fans, is going to be C.R.A.Z.Y.

BINGO :up:

Still, for us fans its really annoying.

[Logan Howlett]

They are going to show as little as possible even in the theatrical trailer becasue they know that it not even gona compare to anything else out there. My guess is that the film will be as poor as the costumes and sets. Not to mention the fact that X3 will blow it out of the water! They wana trick people into thinking that its decent so they will come to the theaters, but in the end........we're all going to be just as disapointed as we thought we'd be.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

^ Troll alert! Raise shields!

[Logan Howlett]

^ Troll alert! Raise shields!


And why am I a troll? Because I think the movie will be poor? Am I not intitled to that opinion? Personaly I just don't think singer had it in him to do Superman, that it was WAAAAAAAAY over his head, and that he's about to disapoint all of us fans. If some fantasic miracle occours and I'm wrong, I'll be the first to let you know, but based soley on what I have seen thus far (costumes, set, cast, and trailer) I am dipleased and do not belive that this movie will be satisfactory.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

The fact that you speak so definitively makes you trollish. X3 blowing SR out of the water? Uhh...those movies open a month apart from each other, and how can X3 blow SR out of the water WHEN IT OPENS FIRST?? If anything, it'll be the other way around out of sheer chronology.

what I have seen thus far (costumes, set, cast, and trailer)

And you haven't seen a trailer, so your information is lacking.

Wahh, Wahh.... X3 is so awesome because they used a third choice director and the films running time is less than F4.

Super Awesome :up: :( :o

[Pickle-El]

Excel is right. WB learned with BB and the paltry opening that had people worried....45 Million?

They're gonna blitz. And quite frankly, that's the best way to go right now with Superman. They've already had a ton of free promotion:

The BLOGS
Comic Con
ShoWest
Magazine Covers 2 Wizard, 2 EW, Premire
Entertainment Tonight, etc, etc, etc....
Routh Torch Run
Routh in the NBA All-Star Challenge

It goes on and on......But, you release the trailer, all the tie-ins, major interviews, trailer on possibly MI:3, Da Vinci, X3.....

There's quite a bit to go on. Quite frankly, I'm thinking it's going to start happening like crazy in the next 2-3 weeks.

The toys, the books, the DVD set boxes....it's going to get nuts.

The 1 Hour and 43 Minute X3, you're referrning to? As opposed to the 2:30 Min Superman Returns?

The running times alone should speak volumes to which studio has utter confidence in its product right now....;)

If less is sometimes more, then doesn't your whole argument just kinda break on its own weak leg? Think about that one.

I just hope they dont do what the did with MATRIX 2 and 3, show us all the good stuff a million times before we see the film.

Personally, I think they will be keeping alot for the film. We will get footage of Superman in action and stuff but keep the great unveling until opening night.

No, your problem is that you prefer quantity over quality. Just because its longer doesnt mean ANYTHING and that is acomplety ignorant comment on its own. You could simply have an extra 45 minutes of crap!

Oh and by the way "If less is more" would actualy help my argument, think before typing.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

X3 has MANY more strikes against it than Superman Returns, including the fact that the DIRECTOR of the previous XMen movies is NOW doing SR.

I loved X 1 and 2 but I have a bad feeling about X3.

And YES, the argument about X3's running time is valid, considering #1 the fact that the story is jam-packed with events and characters and #2 that this film is supposedly the last one of the XMen trilogy.

[Mentok]

My bigest problem is how they are going to fit everything together in such a short film... Even Singer had problems doing that in his films and now Ratner has more characters, less film time and only one film to link everything together.

[Milkman95]

X3's running time reminds me of how disappointing FF was - they cut it to be faster paced because the story was lacking. Hopefully this won't be the case with X3, but my guess is it will have better action and more "comic book" moments, but in the end, it will fall short of the first two.

SR could be an emotional epic, or it could fall flat. Once I see a trailer, I'll have an idea.......

[dark_b]

the movie was cut down for the directors cut realese. this is how they are doing this now. the same with batman. the first dvd was poor. in the new dvd we will get tons of new stuff. this is how they are now making money.

plus. X3 is to short for al lcharacters and the story. no way that this will be good. i will watch the movie in theater because i like teh x-man movies. and even if this movie is all noonstop action.............i will like it.


p.s. the sets are bad in SR? you saw that in the pics and the teaser? wauuuuu. the sets in BB all loked fake in the pics. in the movie it looked better to me.

i know that this is your opinion but that doesnt change the fact that you saw nothing from the movie. nothing.

[Naite22]

You say X3 will blow SR out of the water!...LMFAO!!!! I feel sorry for you my friend, I really really do. X3 wont even be a memory! What did you see in the theatrical trailer to X3 which seemed more mindblowing than what was seen in X2??? (oh, and try not to lie about it!) NOTHING.. You saw that damn bridge collaps just as you did in the teaser.. Is that all??? X3 will propobly be a cool flick, but that's ALL it'll be. SR is so much bigger in every way! So please stop that BS talk about quantity over quality, because EVERY single minute of the 2½ hours superman (compared to the poor 1 hour & 43 minutes in X3) will be nothing short of SPECTACULAR, can you get that through your head ya think???? And how can you doubt it, seeing how it's the former director to the X-MEN franchise (the man who made sure that it became a SUCCESS to begin with!!) who's directing superman!..

[scifiwolf]

Olcanucklehead, I can't believe you lampooned the sets and called them poor. Based on the unanimous (as near as I can tell) opinion that set design and execution is near-perfect, that statement alone destroys the credibility of anything you have to say about this movie.

[raybia]

...I thought about it, and now that it's ALMOST time, I'm a bit nervous (if not to say a lot).. I absolutely think that the next trailer will rock!.... But than again, there is a chance that it'll be a total let-down, right.. Am I the only one fearing this? Just what if.......oh my God it scares me just to think about it. Not that I think it will disapoint, but I FEAR it, ya know what I mean... Come to think of it, this next trailer is A LOT more importened than we might think. What if it fails? What if it holds back?!!:( :confused: :( :confused:

The upcoming trailer will either convince an OBSEEN amount of people to go see this baby!... Or it'll fail BIG-TIME! (and no matter what some say, the theatrical trailer IS very importened in this case!) THOUGHTS?


My fear is the theatrical release for SR will be a total let down.

[Naite22]

^ It Wont!:)

[Naite22]

I REALLY can't wait til the theatrical trailer for SR gets THE headline on the main page of the Hype!, instead of AAALLLLL of this X3 stuff that's on there now.. I'm getting so sick of it!

I can't wait to SHUT all of those NAYSAYERS the **** UP, ones and for all!!! I have NO doubt what so ever that the next trailer will seek to that! Of course some poeple will STILL try and bash it, you can't get around that.. But I'll say this RIGHT NOW! After the next trailer hits, SUPERMAN RETURNS will win over millions of people! X3 GOODNIGHT!

[djkris]

I loved X 1 and 2 but I have a bad feeling about X3.


I feel EXACTLY the same... Sure, there will be some cool moments, but being equal or better than X1 & X2? I don't know. And this hasn't got to do with the director alone. Is more like, well, a feeling.

SR on the other hand, seems impossible to fail, in my eyes. Those few images from the teaser are very powerful and the overall feeling that comes from reports and blogs is very positive.

[Naite22]

I'm also scepticle about X3, but I'm looking forwards to seeing it anyways... but the running time worrie's me a bit!... but honnestly I dont care all too much... It's RETURNS that has a lot on its plate, and is in my eyes a much BIGGER deal than any other superhero franchise out there.

That the trailer wont deliever!:) It WILL, but since you asked hehe

[Pickle-El]

No, your problem is that you prefer quantity over quality.

Epics, which X3 SHOULD be, don't get done in the rumored time X3 is getting. Star wars, LOTR, Spiderman, Superman 2, Kong, BB etc....

Just because its longer doesnt mean ANYTHING and that is acomplety ignorant comment on its own. You could simply have an extra 45 minutes of crap!

If that was the case, if the studio INDEED feels they have 'crap', then why in the world would you let SR running time reach 2:30 or so? Does that make ANY sense? Or is the WB that confident in their product? They've hit homeruns so far with Constantine, Batman Begins, and V For Vendetta. What has Fox done lately again?

Oh and by the way "If less is more" would actualy help my argument, think before typing.

Is less not more there?

And I'm not the one defending a studio that is NOTORIOUSLY known for its Hackjobs on films to try to get as many screenings as possible....FF, DD, Elektra, and now a highly rumored - 1:43 X3.

Let me help you out here, if you wanna 'trick people' into getting butts in the seats, you hack the editing. You rush the production, put together a trailer that already shows WAY too much, and you get a director for-hire, polish it up and stamp 'last movie of the franchise' on it.

[Pickle-El]

My bigest problem is how they are going to fit everything together in such a short film... Even Singer had problems doing that in his films and now Ratner has more characters, less film time and only one film to link everything together.


Not only that, it wasn't even Ratners' script! He had to take inherit what was already in place. I would have more confidence in X3 if Ratner was at least given more of a chance...

[Super_Ludacris]

I loved Constantine and V for Vendetta but they were home runs?

[Logan Howlett]

There is no arguring with a fan boy.............

[MatchesMalone]

That made me laugh uproariously after I read your sig.

[Fatboy Roberts]

I swear to God, I've been to like 4 different movie messageboards and each one of them had someone named "Canucklehead" and each "Canucklehead" was a raving, contradictory lunatic.

Then again, it doesn't mean his comments can be dismissed. Anyone who spends THAT much time playing THAT many RPG's should know how easily and terribly time can be wasted, so maybe he knows what to look for in this film as far as that goes?

[MatchesMalone]

Especially when they're forum RPGs, not even pen and paper RPGs where actually real-life human interaction is necessary.

Fan boys indeed.
