i got a notification from youtube that a trailer i had on there had been removed at the request of sony along with a little threat no to do anything like that again...the only thing in it that wasn't from another legit trailer was the words that eddie says when he's in the church asking for peter to be killed...man they suck at sony....what are they going to do, sue their fans so we don't see their movie? bah
 
If anyone wants to see the leaked unfinished trailer PM me and I'll send it to you.


I hope I dont get banned for that =/
 
My fan trailer got removed too. There was nothing official in it, just home made special effects. Sony is going way too far with this, they are too paranoid

haha let's all boycott spider-man 3 because of this! :confused:
 
I think Sony needs to realize that this did more good than harm to them.

As someone said, the leaked trailer made fans and non-fans hyped for the film, now everyone will continue to spread the word about it as Venom is in it and good word of mouth helps the product obviously.

I don't know if it's paranoia, stupidity, or they just don't want people to be spoiled early. However when push comes to shove this will help them in the long run and the box office will be proof of that.
 
Yeah, like Sony needs your word-of-mouth for this damn film, you fools were going to see this film regardless.:dry:
 
I think it´s a bad Thing for Sony.. i mean this guys working on the Movie in 2 years and are upset because there work wasn´t finished yet. I can feel for them, im working in this business too and on such files and it would be a desaster if there were leaked.

Also it´s a BAD...BAD promotion for ANTFARM...sorry.. would you give them another 360 Million Movie Trailer Deal ????

palewante

Liarrrrrr~ *point point*

Otherwise you wouldn't be hanging around the Spidey 3 forums.

I didn't know browsing a forum for a movie meant you were legally obligated to see that movie.

I actually think this movie will be crap but that's not what you folks want to hear, is it?

So instead I'll say it'll be totally cool.

that's the spirit :woot:
 
The funniest thing about this is some guy on this site is running around with the Venom footage in his avatar and apparently hasn't been called on it.

Having it as an avatar is fine. It's just links, pictures/screen caps are not allowed anywhere.
 
I suspect in the end it was a power struggle... Sam wanted the Venom-less trailer featuring the black suit and Sandman, and Sony kept the unofficial trailer as a contingency plane... If fans screamed "we wanna see Venom!", as they did, they´d justify the second release as a "leak" and put out lawsuits just for cover, cuz even they admit that if a leak happened it´s almost impossible to trace it back to the leaker.
 
In these days of internet and filesharing it is impossible to keep something secret now days. This is not Fort Knox, it's the internet. Sony needs to realize this. They should have kept a tighter chain on all their employees, and should have never put the footage of Venom into any upcoming trailer period! That was their first mistake. Don't get mad at people for sharing what you made...I know copyright, blah, blah, blah, yeah ok. But, if you're going to put it onto the internet, don't cry that everyone is sharing it. We love these movies. It a F#*% trailer for Chr!$t sake, not the whole d@m movie, and what we saw was not finished product. Get over it Sony, quit blaming other people, and start blaming yourselves. Again, this is NOT Fort Knox. It IS the internet. You want to STOP this, don't put it on the internet anymore, only at the box office, problem solved!!

I hate when a studio whines.
 
i understand SONY being pissed about the leaked trailer... but come on, removing fan trailers!!!! thats going a little too far. Whats next, no fan art allowed on the web....or worse no SHH. I think SONY needs to loosen up a little! :spidey:
