A New Trailer for the New Year-Speculation/Discussion Thread

[Hellrider]

I don't know what WB are thinking...If TDK gets 3 trailers, which it could do with only 1 because of all the hype, then this movie needs atleast 3 aswell. And be played with as much movies as possible. With Friday the 13th they had a chance to show something different and perhaps a Redband trailer. But no, their sticking with a 2nd trailer which was not that impressive IMO.

If you think about it, TDK really only had two trailers as well. That first TDK trailer was really just a teaser. They didn't even show anything. But I have noticed that Watchmen's ad campaign (tv spots, posters on buses, etc.) is just as strong as TDK's was.

I have some difficulty in understanding 1 thing, lemme see if you can help me:

why do you care how much this movie is gonna make? Aren't you watching it anyway?

Or are you working for Warner Bros. and part of that revenue will fall into your pocket, if it is a success?

Because I really can't see another reason for rooting so much for attention and success.

It's not that hard to figure out. A big-budget, rated-R, uncompromising, comic book adaptation, doing great numbers at the box office with favorable critics' reviews, simply means more of it's kind.

Less of that safe, moderately budgeted, comic book flick.

maybe because we have seen how hard zach and wb have worked on getting watchmen right in most aspects and if it really good they deserve some credit and not have it bomb

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

my main reasonings for wanting more success and attention have pretty much already been said....but if this very close adaption of the book has success...there will be more respect towards comic book movies...therefore a possibility of much smarter movies made in the future...
and no...Im not getting any cash from WB for Watchmen...wish I did...but cleverness poors out of your comment

So I must assume that, if this film bombs, we'll have to wait for stupidity coming to the big screen?

This movie is coming out over 4 months earlier than TDK did. If this was a summer movie, then there would be a third trailer.

you call tdk's teaser trailer a real trailer it was just a batman symbol with a few quotes lol

The success of Watchmen is no indication of more good movies ahead, as its failure in the BO won't mean that good movies will have difficulty in getting studios and money.

We don't even know if Watchmen is indeed a good enough movie, for starters. It might be, but we still don't know.

Well we have more indication of it being good then not.

Those few early reviews that have spewed out. and Kevin Smith himself. Not saying 100% but the chances seem to be swinging more that way.
