Superman Returns Superman Returns Trailer discussion (merged with-Will be shown with MI-III)

[Nivek]

It will be out in the next two weeks, please stop tweaking out people!

 

[Jlandsw]

Y'know, just because the marketing isn'y following your timetable doesn't mean squat in the end. If the trailer popped up an hour from now or in two weeks, it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference because Superman will be everywhere this time next month. And whether or not your a$$ will be in a seat June 30th. You already know if your seeing it or not.

First of all, its not my timetable. Second, I WANT MORE FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!! A one minute teaser trailer is not enough for me. I want a 2-3 minute trailer that explains the plot of the movie without giving too much away. And I think I speak for just about everyone on this board on that.

 

[explode7]

I think you want too much

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

People's overzealous behavior (including mine...hehehe) is PROOF that WB knows EXACTLY what they're doing.

Why?

Simple. Us fanboys are always waaaaay ahead of Joe Public on movie info news. If there was a knowledge ratio, we'd be about 1000:1 in comparison to what they know. However, if there was a ratio of quantities of fanboys to Joe Publics, the ratio would be quite, quite different. So we're not who WB is targetting. We instead get on the internet and start websites and fanforums around whatever it is we've set our geek radar on. And when we do this, the special Joe Public who is more in between the average Joe and us fanboys -- the guy who does have the internet but uses it a bit better than average people -- will come across the site and may be converted to a full-fledged fanboy.

More potential ticket-buyers right there.

Meanwhile, us fanboys make it a habit to educate the ignorant Joe Public of the new Superman Returns movie, whether it be casual mention or a deep conversation.

WB scores some free publicity.

Secondly and more importantly I think, when WB does release a trailer, the average Joe will see it and AT THAT point, their excitement will most likely be piqued. They'll start seeing commercials and Burger King cups and Monopoly games and suddenly they'll be like us. People love big event movies and this one will certainly be advertised as one.

Us fanboys do not need constant footage and ads and promos to keep our excitement up. Yes, we THINK we need it because like a junkie needs drugs, but we will always have the anticipation...and it will never die.

Suddenly people will be like us; THEY'LL WANT TO SEE THE DAMN MOVIE! They're given NO time to get tired of the hype or the constant barrage of advertising yet and all they can see, hear, and feel is...SUPERMAN RETURNS. And when the movie is released finally, their 'high' will not have abated yet and they'll lug the whole fam over to the nearest theater, spend life savings on concessions, and watch a man fly...again.

I say "again" because the men with families know Superman, either from reading comics or at the least, the wonderful '78 Donner film. And they'll want to take their kids so they too can watch a man fly.

I think this advertising can help make SR a tremendous success, and it's using our own excitement to do that.

 

[Agnarr]

Yes, that is the logic of reason. And correct. In a month, everyone will know that this movie is coming. I wish people'd stop griping and just deal with it. It's coming out next month, two weeks tops, and then we'll all be screaming for joy. It's been years already, I think most of us should manage to wait less than a month patiently.

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

I WANT MORE FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!!

At least we know you're coming from an overall selfless place on this, Veruca

Great post. You know what I really agree with, the fact that the marketing barrage commencing in MAY and JUNE is aimed at your average Joe. While we salivate over every photo and drool over ever piece of memorablia, Superman Returns has barely been been on Joe Public's radar.

Joe Public will be hit on the head during the upcoming months with the trailer, theatrical posters, tv spots, interviews, more magazine articles, clothing, toys, collectables, billboards...

Bravo Well said.

But damn I wish I could just hibernate for a month or so.....

Exactly.....the only reason i come to this Superman every now and then is to see if any supposed insiders have any legitimate info on new footage or the trailer. There hasn't been squat! And it's ridiculous actually....like I said before....Singer and WB's are trying way to hard to keep the plot under the bag......give me a break.

actually a lot of the general public don't know there is a new Superman movie coming out......so they should have shown a TV spot here or there...or at least shown new footage by now. The playing with the public thing..is not really a smart idea.

Oh cry me a river will ya?

It satifies me to no end that everyone can ONLY pick apart things like the suit, and the kid because we don't have a script leak or a spoiler heavy trailer......I love watching people wig out when they can't have it all 'NOW'.

X3 comes out before, hell Da Vinci comes out even before that and I've hardly noticed any large amounts of TV spots.....I've seen a little here and there just starting. But, it doesn't concern me that SR has no spots right now considering movies coming out in MAY are just starting to get the ball rolling.

 

[Nivek]

People dont even really know a new X-men film is coming out.

 

[kirbyfan]

Nivek you're joking right? The x-men 3 trailer plays every 30 minutes at Blockbuster so I think people know.

Looking at all the pics and the short teaser makes me wonder where is the action going to come from in this movie?? There's really no villian for Superman to fight, so what's he going to do, save a bunch of people from falling cars and that sort of thing.

So far I've heard or seen nothing that gets me excited to see this movie!!

Yes, because a superhero film could only work if the good guy has someone to fight.

*Start sarcasm*

What? Superman stops a plane from crashing? Bah... Thats nothing, any superhero can do that (I guess thats why Spider-Man, Batman and the X-Men have all sone such epic tasks in their films )He really needs to punch someone for it to be worth it.

*End sarcasm*

 

[Cinemaman]

I think WB is going to realese it later than we were expecting, because they want more people to know that new movie about Superman will come soon.

So they will start promoting in May and continue before June 30th will come.

We will get full trailer, new posters, a lot of tv-spots, new magazine covers, interviews and TV preview of film.

Kirbyfan, the most successful films find a connection with the audience.

Ask yourself this; have you ever travelled in an airplane, looked out the window and thought,"if something goes wrong I'm toast". I sure have and I venture a guess that I'm not alone.

So what would connect more with an audience; Superman punching Darkseid or Superman rescuing a plummetting plane full of panicking passengers?

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I still think this is a shot from the trailer..

 

[Cinemaman]

Pic is really great, but I don't think we will get this shot in trailer.

I am sure there will be enough flying shots, action scenes, dialogues, story and character-part, but not this shot.

 

[Naite22]

I can not believe that you guys are still discussing the fact that there's no SUPER-villain for superman to fight! Let me make something clear for you guys! This film is SUPERMAN RETURNS, ok... The granddad of all superhero's and he's returning to the big screen for the first time in 20 years! this epic picture is about SUPERMAN! NOT the super-villains that he'll DEFINITLY fight in the sequels.. The very best superhero movie of ALL time is STILL the very first superman.. nothing can touch it, not even today! Did superman have any supervillains to battle in STM??? Nope! And did the movie work!?... Ohh YES! It works better than any other superhero movie to date! The new movie is about Kal-El, it's about HIM... Lex & his henchmen is MORE then enough trouble for supes to battle.

Kirbyfan is the one who cant seem to get over it, the majority of is posts in here are complaints over the film lacking action because of no super villian.

All four of hid posts in here today have said the exact same thing.

Pretty damn cool old school teaser for Superman Returns. Take a look.

Give me a break! There has been NOTHING exciting that has been shown to fans regarding this film....and i mean NOTHING.....

I talk to people at work regarding movies coming out this summer...and most haven't heard of a new Superman movie coming out. They probably won't know until 3 weeks before the movie comes out?? Is that a way to generate some excitement and intrigue?? No....but showing lame photos of a Superman Monopoly game is?? Yeah...suuuuuure....

I still think this is a shot from the trailer..

BOOOOOOORING........
