So little pics & publicity

[ZIPBAGS]

It is kind of amazing how little promo pics and other publicity we have seen for this movie.

Sorry if this has been discussed. Haven't been around the forums in a while.

It's been discussed pretty heavily truth be told, but it's something that has everybody scratching their heads.
The people who are trying to have a positive outlook say this has only whet their appetite for the movie even more, and they view it as Fox trying to "build up hype and anticipation".
Everyone else is looking at it as a sign that not everything is going as planned with this production, lending some credence to the rumors of trouble behind the scenes. I personally think that, at the very least, Fox is concerned and does not know how to handle this oddity of a movie.

Flint, thanks for the reply. Just makes no sense. They should just sell it back to Marvel for a cut of the box office.

There was more marketing and pre-publicity for Jonah Hex.....that should tell you something.

If we think back, Trank's Twitter started around the time that rumors about cast started popping up.

Fox may have started that Twitter account for him with the idea that he could use it to post bits of info., photos etc. as other directors have done.

But we saw what happened.

Instead of posting the kind of things you would expect from a mature film director who understands how to deal with the public, he posted things that seemed more like something a spoiled teenager might post.

Then the account disappeared and we haven't heard or seen anything from him since. If I recall correctly, that Twitter account disappeared before the reports that Fox was looking to replace him.

In hindsight, the suspended Twitter account may have been the first clue things weren't working between studio and director, and from what is currently being reported, things may have gone drastically downhill from there.

The initial lack of information may have been a relatively simple matter of Trank not being skilled at communicating, but beyond that, the studio may have decided the absolute last thing they wanted was Trank communicating in any form.

What was Trank tweeting about? I feel like he fell off the Earth.

What was Trank tweeting about? I feel like he fell off the Earth.

He actually didn't say much. He did dispute a couple rumors (one of which was that Miles Teller would be Reed) and post a few other tidbits.

The thing that was strange was that he would insult people posting and fans in general. It just came off as very . . . odd . . . for a public figure who should understand the game.

The final thing I saw posted (and I don't know if this was something that particularly pissed somebody off or just coincidental in timing) was an old Kirby panel of Johnny fighting the old robot Human Torch.

And after that, yeah, he basically did fall off the face of he earth. The one single thing I've heard from him since then was a response to his hiring for Star Wars. Other than that I haven't seen a single photo of him or comment from him anywhere.

oh wow most directors with not much background should be taking full advantage of a movie this big. Regardless to the hate this movie gets, he could have turned that around and showed some enthusiasm about this movie. Marc Webb and Trank can be compared easily, at least Webb gave us a daily pic and hints during the filming. It made it fun and very anticipating. Maybe Trank will be the the opposite and give us something great. Till then at least I can be optimistic!

He really didn't tweet much, but what he did tweet was rather antagonistic and unprofessional. He also seemed to be getting into these petty arguments with other posters, as if he was just a normal poster himself and not a supposedly professional film director. He was a bit like you might find posters of a forum might be when arguing back and forth over a point and when things start to get somewhat personal.

Film directors should keep a certain professional distance and answer things in a cool and calm way. His Twitter account was removed very shortly after.
