Not open for further replies.
spider-neil, RIM already confirmed we'd be getting a trailer this month. Just so you know.
 
I avoid major spoilers [like the descriptions of the Comic Con footage], but I am going to see the trailer when it comes out.
 
You'd think official trailers wouldn't give away major spoilers, but even that happens sometimes :/

I watched the trailers for the Iron Man movies before I saw the actual movies and they didn't give away much, so it should be okay.

raimi should be strung up for his car through the window reveal in the SM2 trailer. seriously, WTF?!!!
 
bottom line is I don't think it's a big deal to not show the trailer in december. the movie will have 6 MONTHS to market to the general audience and also you have the superbowl in feb.

How do you know a Superbowl spot will happen? Sony just sold merchandising rights because they need the money...are they going to fork over all that money for 30 seconds? Look at First Class. Their marketing sucked. The movie was great but it barely made bank. Yeah Spidey is loads more popular than the X-Men but that doesn't change the need to market the movie well. A full trailer for the holiday season hits a wide audience and slowly brings the GA over to this new retelling. If you start marketing 4 months away you will fail.

Yeah...that's one movie...

I watched a trailer for some kind of thriller, where the trailer showed

1) Who the "mysterious" killer was
2) How they solved the riddle of who the killer was
3) How the film ended

I don't remember the name of the film, but you didn't need to watch it, it was all in the trailer :oldrazz:

unlike x-men first class, spidey is sony's cash cow, it's tent pole movie.
 
I loved that trailer. Even though the editing mistake in it is just silly.


I loved the trailer but after the trailer I was kicking myself because I knew that watching the movie the scene in the cafe is was going to be punctuated by a car through the window. that scene would have had more weight for me if that car was a surprise.
 
From Spiderman6592 concerning the bootleg version of the The Dark Knight Rises prologue, spoiler warning!:





"The bootleg of the prologue does the real thing absolutely NO justice. Hell, you miss the money shot of the entire thing because of the prologue. There's one point where, when the CIA plane is completely vertical and everyone has fallen to the bottom, Bane is holding himself up with one freaking hand on one of the arms of the plane's seats, just GLARING at the CIA operative. It's son unbelievably creepy and badass and it was at that moment when I said to myself, "Bane is going to be way more fun to watch than the Joker." I'll do an entire run down of the prologue for you all now. That way you can watch the crappy bootleg and have have more of an idea of what's going on (trust me, the quality made you miss A LOT). Here goes:


WB, DC, Batlogos show

Cut to Gordon speaking at Harvey Dent's funeral

Gordon: I knew Harvey Dent. He was my friend and it will be a long time before someone inspires us the way he did. I believed in Harvey Dent.

Fade out from Dent's funeral and cut to a pan out shot of a Jeep flying through what seems to be a highlands of sorts.

Cut to inside the jeep where we see a militia men, Dr. Pavel, and three hooded men in the back seat.

Cut to a shot of the CIA operative standing outside the plane, waiting for the jeep to arrive.

Cut to the jeep arriving.

CIA: I'm CIA.

Militia Man: He (Pavel) wasn't alone.

CIA: Well you aren't allowed to bring friends.

Pavel: They're not my friends.

Militia Man: They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary known as the masked man.

CIA: Bane!? Get them on board, I'll call it in!

Cut to inside the plane. Pavel is sitting up towards the front, the three hooded men are kneeling in the center.

CIA: The flight plan I just filed with the agency lists me, my men, Dr. Pavel here, and only one of you!

He opens the door of the plane

CIA: First one to talk gets to stay on my aircraft!

He grabs one of the hooded men

CIA: Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel!

The hooded man doesn't answer and he fires a gun next to his hear to make it appear as though he shot him. He throws him off to the side and makes it sound like he threw him off by saying...

CIA: He didn't fly so good! Who wants to try next!

They grab another hostage...

CIA: Tell me about Bane! Why does he wear the mask!?

Hostage stays silent...

CIA: That's a lot of loyalty for a hired gun!

Bane (offscreen): Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane...

He's referring to how the CIA op. shot his gun and then said that the guy, "Didn't fly so good", the CIA op. realizes that he's calling his bluff and nervously approaches...from here on, the CIA operative is noticeably nervous and is clearly second guessing himself. His lines sound over the top, but pair perfectly with his acting.

CIA: Well at least you can talk. Who are you?

Bane: It does not matter who we are. What matters is our plan. No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.

The CIA operative slowly pulls off his hood and we get a ridiculously chilling shot of Bane from the side staring upwards at the CIA op. At this point the CIA dude and his men take a step back in a "Oh ****." kind of way.

CIA: If I pulled that off would you die?

Bane: It would be extremely painful...

CIA: C'mon, you're a big guy-

Bane: For you...

At this point we get a shot of the CIA plane below a much, much larger plane. Bane's men are preparing to take it over...

CIA: Was getting caught part of your plan?

Bane: Of course. You had been in touch with Dr. Pavel. We needed to figure out what he told you.

Pavel: Nothing! I said nothing!

At this point Bane slowly adjusts his attention to Pavel and again his eyes are just spine chilling. Cut to another shot of Bane's men making preparations.

CIA: Well congratulations! You got yourself caught! What's the next step in your master plan!

Bane: Crashing this plane...

He stands up and with ease tugs his hands away from each other and removes his shackles.

Bane: ...With no survivors.

Bane's men take over completely while Bane fights off the CIA operative. There's gun fire coming from every which way, and the CIA's plane, which is now hooked to Bane's plane is slowly being tilted upward. Eventually the CIA's plane is completely vertical and Bane's men cut open the top of it from the cockpit to the nose. At this point everyone has fallen to the bottom of the plane, besides Bane. He's, seemingly with no effort, holding himself by the arms of to of the plane's chairs. All the while he's staring down the CIA operative. In a stunning move of strength, timing, and athleticism, Bane sees the CIA dude pull out his gun, he lifts himself up and over behind one of the seats to avoid the shot RIGHT as his men fill in through the top of the plane via harnesses. They shoot the CIA operative, and about 4 of them repel down with a body bag. They open up the body bag (please keep in mind that this is all happening against the forces of gravity as the plane is still vertical. It makes what Bane does so much more impressive) and Bane pulls out blood transfusion equipment. While holding himself up, he connects Pavel to the dead body so that he can make the dead guy and applicable body double for Pavel in the wreckage. This way Pavel will be accounted for and presumed dead, and no one will be on Bane's trail (yes, he's a ****ing genius). While this is happening, one of Bane's fellow hostages from earlier begins to tie up to a harness.

Bane: NO! They expect one of us in the wreckage, brother!

Now this is ****ing CREEPY and shows the amount of devotion Bane's followers have for him. Bane's henchie smiles and looks almost relieved, saying...

Henchman: So, we started the fire?

Bane: The fire rises.

At this point the blood transfusion is over and Bane's men repel out of the plane. We get a really, really cool shot from overhead of the top of the plane, looking down at Bane and Dr. Pavel connected to the harness.

Bane: CALM DOWN DOCTOR! Now is not the time for fear. That comes later.

Bane pushes a release button of some sort and we get a really cool shot of Bane and Dr. Pavel from above as the CIA plane falls towards the ground. The scene ends with Bane and Dr. Pavel trailing behind Bane's plane via harness. It's very similar to the skyhook scene in The Dark Knight.


Honestly, it's probably one of the best action scenes I have ever seen. Probably has edged out SM2's train fight. It was gripping and Bane's voice is much better with proper quality. Hope you enjoyed my description!"

Then maybe you shouldn't watch the next trailer for TAS.
 
What happened to sm6592?
And that was no where near better than the sm2 train scene, imo... Im sorry, but NO WAY.

He was temp banned.

It's certainly possible the train scene can be topped. It's great and one of the best action scenes I've seen but it came out 7 years ago. Eventually it will be out done.
 
Agreed. The train battle was/is one of the best movie battles ever, but it's certainly not impossible to top.

Am I in the wrong forum? : /
 
unlike x-men first class, spidey is sony's cash cow, it's tent pole movie.

What does that have to do with cutting costs to avoid bankruptcy? Sony stops paying for the 3D glasses for their tentpole movie in 3D. Sony sells the merchandising rights for their tentpole movie. You think the are going to pay $3 million for 30 seconds? You don't advertise big budget movies 4 months out. They already did good with the teaser over the summer and they will do good with a full trailer now and another in Spring with full on marketing every where in late Spring. You can't First Class this and then have nothing between the teaser and the marketing campaign 3 or 4 months out. Otherwise, TDKR and Avengers will outpants Sony because they have had a teaser and a full trailer along with online marketing.
 
Silly you.

Well, at least you're not going off-topic further by posting about how I'm going off-topic. :P
