When's a real trailer come out?

[Hypestyle]

that's what I'm waiting for.. something that shows all the characters involved..

[Changeling]

Yeah I bet itll be neat. Swell actually. Neat-o.

[GIPete89]

probly sometime in November

[Unholyjustice]

I hope the trailer is sweet. Cause nothing else about the movie looks worth a damn.

[Hypestyle]

still waiting..

[The Avatar]

IESB reported a couple of days ago that we can expect a trailer around the holidays.

[Snickers]

i doubt it

[TNC9852002]

Not until Christmas I'd imagine.

Paramount's really missing the boat here. This time last year we at least had a teaser for Transformers. This is even a bigger budget movie than Transformers.

Yet we don't really have anything. Not enough people know this is coming. And this is supposed to be one of their biggest releases next year.

[Snickers]

most people who know of gi joe have no idea about this film

I have a feeling that Paramount isn't very confident about this movie.

[Jamie Madrox]

Look at these boards, they're almost completely dead. There hasn't been a post on here for a while.

[cosmicherosa]

Nothing to get excited about. Most things shown or revealed have been lame and cliched so far.

[GIPete89]

Ye, I liked the script so much that I really want to see some footage. I'm really upset with the way this movie is being handled... doesnt make much sense...

[Darthkush]

Paramount is probably scared to release stuff. I think they're scared about this in the same way I believe Fox is scared about Wolverine. As for Transformers, I think that's an case of them feeling so confident, they expect people to just show up.

But G.I. Joe needs an trailer NOW. If you go to every forum on this site, everybody else is expecting this movie to either bomb outright or have one good weekend and die. I think we need an super awesome bells and whistles action packed trailer that even somehow has characters saying Yo, Joe! in it:ikyn. We really need THAT level of fanboyish junk in it to get people excited again.

[AnimatedFury]

This movie is gonna show up with trailers and TV spots probably in like March, it's not gonna remind anyone of G.I. Joe or get them excited for it since they strayed too far from RAH, the only good era of Joe, and they haven't built anticipation at all the way the aggrivating and thus brilliant Transformers teaser did. I also expect one good weekend out of it.

[Nightmare]

I heard the trailer will mostly show Marlon Wayans in action. :cwink:

[TNC9852002]

Uhhh, sure.

-TNC

[terry78]

They really need to at least have a teaser out by December to be honest. Attach it to the Spirit or something.

[Nirvana]

I'm baffled that a trailer for this has not yet been released.

[The Avatar]

I'm baffled that a trailer for this has not yet been released.
It's quite remarkable isn't it.

G.I. Joe finished filming before Transformers 2 and TF2 has a trailer coming out on Dec 12th while G.I. Joe doesn't even have a web site up yet.

It speaks volumes about the lack of confidence the studio has in this film. It's supposed to be a tent-pole flick to carry Paramount through the Summer 09 slate.

I guess the brass at Paramount have realized it's not enough to just adapt a license which has an established fanbase, you actually have have deliver on the quality end aswell.

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

People had the same complaints with The Hulk. It didn't turn out that bad. So, I still have confidence in the flick.

[TheVileOne]

The thing is, this is a $170 million movie, that's bigger than the first Transformers budget.

Also they greenlit this movie into production right before the strike. Just like *ahem* Dragon Ball Evolution.

[dark_b]

this movie has a bigger budget ? bigger then TF?

ohhh this will bomb.

[TheVileOne]

Reportedly bigger by about $20 million.

I mean, look Transformers had a lot of the nostalgia factor PLUS the whole giant robots thing.

GI JOE has the nostalgia, but it doesn't have giant robots, so we will see. You know Hasbro wants their name on another huge global movie franchise.

[gkokujin]

i think they are counting solely on the nostalgia factor, because most people still alive had GIjoe toys or knew of them as children.

*sigh*

[Ratcrawler]

I recall GI Joe toy sales went up after 9/11.

[TNC9852002]

It isn't remarkable AT ALL that there's no trailer.

Look, the movie comes out in AUGUST.

The last thing they want to do is spend a bunch of money putting together a little trailer so early just so it can be swept by 8 months of other spring and summer blockbusters.

I can see if this was April or May, then I'd worry, but it's only December!

Unlike Star Trek and Harry Potter, GI Joe's release date has been set and hasn't been pushed around.

My guess is that the first trailer will be ready by late January early February and will be perfect for The Uninvited/Dance Flick. The second will be attached to Star Trek in May and another in late June, early July.

G.I. Joe Trailer Details (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/g-i-joe-trailer-details-5864)

[Art Damage]

Well, I smell the Speed Racer of 2009.....

[gkokujin]

Speed Racer was actually good, THIS will be just plain AWFUL.

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

Don't be so hasty. It may surprise us. :(

[Figs]

I hope that guy was exaggerating a bit about the fight between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. If it's really as bad as fights from the DD movie...for shame...for shame!

[protocida]

The info came from NukedTheFridge.com

I don't trust NukedTheFridge.com

[terry78]

The info came from NukedTheFridge.com

I don't trust NukedTheFridge.com

The domain name alone seems to just spout negativity, so you may have something there.

[Jamie Madrox]

I'm pretty sure the trailer doesn't suck as much as the 'NukeTheFridge' guy said it did. He's just another person with a negative opinion about something he thinks will suck. When has a trailer for a movie this big ever sucked enough to call it awful? I've never seen one. I don't think Paramount's that dumb. They put a lot of money in this movie, they're gonna do everything they can to insure that they get it back. I don't think their gonna release a crappy trailer that could very well hurt the movie's chances to become successful. As far as I know, the teaser trailer was just a test trailer anyway, I don't think it was an official teaser or official trailer.

The buzz will pick up when a trailer featuring ALL characters hits. Super Bowl would seem the most likely place to debut the trailer, with all the people tuning in an everything. Even though I'd prefer it hitting sooner, I'd rather them take the time to put their best efforts into it, rather releasing one just because we want it now.

I have faith G.I.Joe will be a very entertaining and fun Summer movie. Stephen Sommers hasn't failed me yet. The guy just don't get enough credit.

[Golgo-13]

It's seems that both 'JOE' and 'Transformers 2' are gonna be marketed the same way......holding the marketing out until 2009, instead of this year. I'm sure they'll have some cross-marketing going on too.....

[Nivek]

God, I hope this isn't as bad as it could be. But after seeing some set pics of characters I had any optimisim turn to strong doubt. But it could be cool if they go in this Superforce/ G.I. Joe afternoon cartoon direction with it. Could be cool...

[BlackLantern]

I liked 'Speed Racer' its good background noise when I'm doing stuff around the apartment

[Alex Logan]

Yeah, good question. When are we going to see something already?

[Nivek]

The longer we go without a trailer, or a teaser, makes me wonder how much confidence the studio has. I mean, this isn't Hulk where the center piece is a 10 ft. tall CG creature.

[Shadow-Guardian]

they at least need to release some new pics or somthing for christ sake.

[Hellrider]

The longer we go without a trailer, or a teaser, makes me wonder how much confidence the studio has. I mean, this isn't Hulk where the center piece is a 10 ft. tall CG creature.

Thats excatly what I was thinking. I got a bad feeling on this film. The fact that they have a non existant marketing for a high budget film doesnt sit right.

[tamron]

The movie is already mud on the net based on what little info we have. Rather than put out trailers now for the GP to rip apart as well and really ruin the film's box potential, they're probably gonna wait til the last minute, have a media blitz, and hope they can catch people on the name recognition. It's probably their best chance at this point.

[Jamie Madrox]

They're slowly, slowly releasing images of the movie toys. They showed the M.A.R.S guards, then Breaker and Baroness. Marketing has started, it's just very slow... for now. When the trailer hits, people will flock to the boards and the hype or hate will begin. I imagine the studio thinks it's smarter to wait 'til the year it comes out to begin promotion.

[Frank]

Speed Racer was actually good,


lol best joke i heard in a while.

Does anyone care to pick out the hit to miss ratio with Sommers?

[TNC9852002]

Well, I've only seen deep rising, the mummy movies and van helsing.

Don't know about the rest.

With that, I feel like Sommers is one of the kings of brainless popcorn adventure movies. I'm no big GI Joe follower outside of the cartoon, but I think he's right for the job. I don't expect a serious action adventure with a lot of clever filmmaking techniques. The movie is #10 on my 2009 radar, so I'll definitely be there, but I'm keeping my expectations low.

-TNC

[Heretic]

As a lifelong Joe fan who owned EVERY SINGLE toy (not most...ALL) from the Real American Hero line...this should be a movie Im dying to see. Unfortunately, it just looks so horrible that Im not even going to bother seeing it until I can get it as part of my normal Netflix membership.

[Raiden]

I think it's rather telling that we don't have a trailer yet, even though it's releasing in the summer. I don't think the studio has confidence in this movie, and judging from what we have seen, I won't have, either.

Superbowl Film Advertising

Posted on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 7:50 pm by: Peter Sciretta

Variety confirms that Paramount will premiere the first footage from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen during SuperBowl XLIII on February 1st 2009, forgoing the traditional theatrical teaser trailer route. Other high profile film advertising spots might include Star Trek, G.I. Joe, Angels and Demons
Monsters vs. Aliens (90-second 3D trailer), Land of the Lost, Fast and Furious, Up, Race to Witch Mountain, and Wolverine.

Surprisingly, Warner Bros. hasn’t bought a television spot despite having a great line-up of films that would appeal to the Superbowl crowd: Terminator Salvation, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Watchmen.

And remember, the Academy Awards will allow film advertising for the first time in the first time in Oscar telecast history, and many expect the premiere of exclusive trailers during that telecast as well.

[DOG LIPS]

I can't even force myself to have interest in this movie anymore. Please let the trailer rock my face, or I'll wait for DVD. :csad::csad:

[terry78]

At least give us a teaser with Inkheart or something, ****.

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

They're waiting for us to lose all interest in the movie, and then spring it on us when no one gives a damn. :csad: :down

That should be any time then. :csad:

[Gatchamanjp]

I want to see the trailer for...G.I. Joe as much as anyone else but...The film doesn't arrive in theaters til August! If the report about the trailer being shown in front of Superbowl 43 are true...than that is 6 months before the film gets released. I am sure that after the Super Bowl trailer there will be a smorgesborg of G.I. Joe material released in the next few months...Trailer for the videogame from EA, toys, Warren Ellis' anime web series...G.I. Joe Resolute, the Dvd for aforementioned web series, Even more trailers and clips of Hasbro's long running franchise, a re release of all the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero on Dvd and Blue Ray (after Hasbro spent 1.7 Million regaining the rights to all their 80's animated series,) and of course the Stephen Sommers film...G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra on August 7th.

hmm.. so when does the animated older stuff come out on dvd sets?

[Gatchamanjp]

Hypestyle, I do not have any info on possible dvd sets except for the fact that Hasbro spent $1.7 million on the rights to all their 80's series, so the dvd sets should get some kind of release before August, or with the dvd release of G.I. Joe Rise Of Cobra.

[Alex Logan]

Looks pretty good, let hope they don't cheese it up.

[echostation]

summers or somers however the heck one spells it... him and not cheesing it up? that'd be like saying Eddie Murphy would make a fantastic choice to play Invincible...

[Silver Knight]

Looked ok I guess.

Was that Snake Eyes jumping on the car?

[King K]

First thing that popped in my head when I saw this scene above was the Transformers scene when Ironhide dodged those missiles in slow-mo.

[Silver Knight]

Who are they^

[Darthkush]

Who are they^

I think they're Ripcord(Marlon Wayans) and Duke(Channing Tatum).

[Silver Knight]

Thanks bud.

[echostation]

well CG renders of them I think no? hard to tell from that pic but the CG looks typical Somers type... sometimes great shots but often times crap..

The first Mummy wasn't cheesy.

[CorpusBlack]

Who are they^

I think they are BATS or just some type of Viper. Humans don't move like that, then again it is a Sommers film.

[terry78]

Did Sommers mention if we'll be seeing any of the vehicles from the toy line or what?

[Heretic]

30 seconds serves as a very good showcase for a movie...dont give me that "we need a 2 minute trailer before we make a decision" garbage.

I dont go to many movies, so most trailers I see are on tv, and therefore about 30 seconds long. Some make me go to the theater, some makee me cringe. Gi Joe looks like crap.

If I must wait for a two minute version to confirm then I am fine with that as well.

Good maybe. Decent is a better term. But very good is far from accurate imo.

Teaser = Hey, we just made this movie. Get ready.
Trailer = This is what you should expect to see in the movie.
TV Spots = Don't forget. This is coming out. We're giving you tiny condensed glimpses to let you know it's coming out, give you a very brief idea of what to expect and just reminding you it's coming out just in case you forgot.

[Shadow-Guardian]

I hope we get a full trailer soon. with some more Storm Shadow VS Snake Eyes fights. and maybe some CC. Although i know they won't reveal CC in full CC glory, but at least The Doctor. i wanna hear his voice and see how he moves and stuff.

Again, the purpose of a commercial is to interest the viewer. Even the worst movies can have good commericials. I am a lifelong GI Jow fan who bought every single toy released from the first wave of ARAH to Cobra-La, and every comic ever published. This commerical did NOT get me interested in seeing the movie. That is a problem. Im not drinking the kool-aid, and I am the exact person who SHOULD be drinking the kool-aid.

[Shadow-Guardian]

We need a new trailer. Like NOW.

All three should interest the viewer. But you can only do so much in 30 second or less. They want you to see the spot and then go online and get a better look at it.

[DarkKnight88]

It looks like we might be getting one soon. This is supposedly a leaked pic of Destro from the new trailer.
