First time I saw that I thought it was SS surfing through.... My god was i Blind.

Awesome, I don't want to get my hopes up thinking its the Big G but still nice tease.

Which video is that shot from??? I feel that I've seen it, I just can't recall which one it is...

Oh, and when I saw the spikes/horns, I let out a little AAAGGH! (my early stages of nerdgasm...).

I know this is kind of off topic, but who is the SHH mascot guy on the first post? That is not hyper? Looks like SHH has a new mascot or Hyper has a new teammate?

LOL Yeah, Hyper has a new teammate: Think Captain America and Falcon. Just kidding....

Actually, it's my personal Hype Mascot/Animation...every mod has one...Kel's is Tweety. Mine? Well, we'll just call him Hyfro-Man.

I just want to chime in and say if theres still one thing going right for this movie...its still The Silver Surfer...I mean, every time he's on screen it's going to look fantastic! All these new TV spots that have surfaced, all the new footage, whether you like the voice or not...this is the one thing that has people saying "I want to see this one!" I've heard it from friends, strangers, co-workers...I'm getting such a good vibe from this one compared to part one and its all because of Radd!

8. Fantastic Marketing

Although fanboys may despise this studio for whatever, I seriously doubt any of them will deny that 20th Century Fox does a helluva job with promoting their films. Already, they have taken the marketing to a new level with the brilliant Silver Surfer standees (pictured above). As evidenced with the way they’ve marketed their other comic book films i.e. Daredevil, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand, we definitely don’t have to worry about the studio getting a number 4 plastered on every media outlet by time June 15th arrives. I don’t think there was one nook or cranny Fox left untouched when marketing the first Fantastic Four film--which went on to become a $330 million blockbuster. So if they can do that for an origin film imagine how much more will they step it up for this sequel! Within a matter of days now we will be witnessing a marketing blitz unlike anything we’ve ever seen. And how awesome is it that they've managed to keep the lid on all the major details (instead of ****ing out every possible clip like certain other overhyped franchises of late)!​

​

All I can say to that is Wow I want one lol.
Looks so cool, and great posts you have made, was a great read, I can't wait for FF even more now! t:​

Guys, quoting a troll DOES NOT HELP MATTERS. PLEASE STOP.

Anyway, getting back on topic...

I think we can add to the promotion, the great ideas they are using as promotional tools, the coins, using Dodge in a number of venues and countries....and I'm really excited to see what they have in store this time with Burger King......

One thing people might want to remember....they will continue to use the Spiderman cups until they run out, and I have a feeling they were sent buttloads of them....so don't be upset if you don't get an F4 cup for awhile....the small cups will go first, so you may have a better chance ordering a small or medium drink. BUT you can ask for the F4 crown as soon as the promotion starts....and of course the toys, but they won't open the boxes of cups until the Spiderman cups are gone.....

I'm pretty much amazed it took someone this long to realize it would be a better idea to film motion capture on location rather than inside a separate studio. I mean it's basically a combination of green screen AND CGI when they film it separately and blue screen almost always looks fake, and CGI almost always looks fake, so when you combine them together that's twice the fakeness, but when you actually film it together with the live action parts, not only do both the stars and mocap people actually have something to interact with which, it also removes the "pasted on" feel that you get from most CG characters and they actually look and feel like they're part of the real world in the movie.

Good points. Hopefully more movies will use the same technique.

I kinda disagree it all depends on how well it's tracked and composited anyways.

Besides this technique is easier and not as expensive I believe.

Don't get me wrong the POTC effects are still astonishing.

Oh and did you really think they were going to film mocap on location with a guy that surfs through the sky.

I think another thing going for this movie is something that we've seen over the past few days and that is the relationship between the actors.....I believe that will come across in the movie as well.

Bumping thread...

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I believe the release of the first FF film as an extended cut will prove to be a good thing for this project. It will help build momentum (it will also annoy people when they realize how much good stuff was chopped years ago).

 

[shigsy2003]

The main thing I am anticipating is the Silver Surfer and then Doom. A more classic Doom will be perfect and mix that with the Surfer should make this film more that just entertaining. However I think Galactus will be the one to sway that thought. I actually wouldn't be disappointed if he wasn't it. After all I would prefer not to see him if his look is going to disappoint on a major level.

They really seem like friends!:heart:

Another good thing is the release date and its great legs.
