The Official FF2 Teaser Thread

[gambitfire]

I think it's obvious who that is, but i don't think we ever got any clear word that that is who we think it is....................

 

[Malus]

So who is this and what are they doing?:

Uh...Maybe that's a stunt person? I'm sure you've heard of those.

I've no doubt that Doug Jones performed all the character interaction work (i.e. acting) himself. Whether he did all the action scene/stunt work himself or not, I don't know. And it makes no difference. You think that's actually Toby McGuire or Christian Bale in every action shot you see in their films?

There's no one other than Jones being credited with anything involving the Surfer other than the effects studio. And USA Today (basing their article on an official Fox press release) specifically credits the voice to Doug Jones.

Hellmistress knows what she's talking about. We have no reason whatsoever to think otherwise.

Hey guys,

An announcement was made a while back that the trailer would be released online 5pm pacific time on 22nd December, is that still happening and if not when is it gonna come online?

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Yeah but the trailer isn't playing there now is it?

No, but when it does, I guess there will be TONS of hi-res cameras capturing and YouTubing it. And since teasers and trailers are not protected by copyright... you guess the rest.

BTW, Fox won't be releasing the teaser in AMERICA... but have you bothered to check the japanese site of apple.com?

I think mostly everyone on here read the trailer description yesterday. So we knew what was happening, I'm just happy to hear it looks great though!

 

[zer00]

Yet you comment on it. Way to not care.

I can't believe you figured out how to spell "comment"

 

[3 Dev Adam]

So, basically, the Surfer kills Johnny and the three others take revenge. BTW, why "Rise of the Silver Surfer"? He rises from what, or to what?

Arclight just updated it's site:

PANS LABYRINTH
ACTOR DOUG JONES WILL DO A Q&A FOLLOWING A SPECIAL 10:00PM SHOW ON THURSDAY, 12/28. This gothic fairy tale is set against the postwar repression of Franco's Spain. The story unfolds through the eyes of Ofelia, a dreamy little girl who is uprooted to a rural military outpost commanded by her new stepfather. Powerless and lonely in a place of unfathomable cruelty, Ofelia lives out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters both otherworldly and human.

Fox won't be releasing the teaser in AMERICA

What ? The teaser is in american theaters

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Just got back from Night At the Museum, and saw the trailer.

WOW.


The theatre was only 60% full by time the Spider-Man 3 trailer passed and many latecomers were still spilling in when the FF2 clip--which came next--was shown. The vast majority of those present were teens, but there was a good mix of other adults, parents and some little children. The clip starts out with a shot of the Surfer zooming down into the earth's atmosphere. But it wasn't until the Marvel logo flashed across the screen, when a complete hush fell on the audience again.

From the moment we saw the wedding cake topper (with it's elongated 'Reed Richards' wrapping itself around its crystal bride) there was a stir in the audience. When the camera panned on the Four themselves that stir grew into subdued whispers; I heard several whisper "Fantastic Four", making it clear that folks definitely remember the actors and their roles even before the title card was shown.

Then it got quiet again. And it was at that point that I wished I had never seen that Youtube.com clip.

The cinematography in this teaser was beautiful. Rich, vibrant colors and everyone looked good. The most improved? Without a doubt it's Benjamin. His suit has clearly been upgraded from that "burn unit look" from the first film, to a more traditional aesthetic--his hide has greater definition; his coloring is more of a tangerine orange--which looked great as a contrast against the "normal-looking" wedding guests at the ceremony.

The music? Perfect. Pulsating...urgent. Think along the lines of the aforementioned Spider-Man trailers. It melted seamlessly into the action sequences which arrested the attention of everyone in the joint. I loved the way the music melts down to a heart beat as Surfer morphs through a glass skyscraper. When he emerges, the construction materials around his exit ripple like water, and again the drowned music made that money shot even more poignant.

Speaking of Silver Surfer...um, yeah. Norrin Radd looks like an effing chome demigod on screen--absolutely amazing. I seriously believe all of these people whining about his eyes (of all things ) will hush up when they see him in movement. The chase through the Holland tunnel was awesome, and the point when he turned upside down and coldly stared Johnny down showed he was totally in control--and unconcerned about Johnny's little "pursuit." In just seconds, his facial expression gave me the feeling that he viewed Torch as nothing more than a pesky insect to be swatted away condescendingly. And when he grabbed Johnny by the throat the guy next to me said "Whoa...sick!" And dude wasn't the only one blown away, because by time the Silver Surfer had dragged Johnny with him to the heavens, latecommers--who had yet to even find a seat--had also stopped in their tracks in the fricking aisles to watch. The sequence was simply that good.

To be frank with you, I'm finding hard to believe that Tim Story has created this. It just....feels different. For those of you who have been on this board since the beginning, you'll recall I was one of Tim's biggest supporters the first go 'round, but was somewhat dissillusioned with much of what was done (especially the editing job). And despite set reports, etc., up until today it's been hard for me to get my excitement up for this sequel. However, I'd be lying if I didn't tell you all that I'm officially impressed and stoked now.

The "sitcom" feel from FF1? Gone. In its place? A distinct epic flavor--at least in this trailer. The action sequences and the overall framing had a sense of style--it had flair. And the tone of the entire clip is definitely grimier...edgy even. And that's a good thing. With the exception of Johnny's "But I just got this tux" wisecrack, there is no cheesiness to be found here--something that even the first film's trailers couldn't hide. This one was serious...darker.

When it was over, there was a lot of buzzing amongst the audience and not a few "schweets" mixed in too. It was by far, the most well-received trailer save the aforementioned Spider-Man 3 clip.

I mean, it won't be released online in America so soon.

 

[AssMan]

That still doesnt make sense because once it is released online no matter what part of a site it will get everywhere

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Whoa, cowboy. What about Ben crying like a schoolgirl on helium?

 

[Valerie_f4]

Well will it appear in Canada? We seem to be forgotten.

I for one am excited to see if they manage to pull a turn around with this one. The only film series I've seen do that is the X-Men movies. Where X1 was good, but X2 drastically improved upon some of the action and tonal flaws of the previous film. Hopefully, F42 will do the same, although I am just so distrustful of Fox overall -- Arad especially -- after X-Men 3.

The set visits were misleading.
The interviews were misleading.
The marketing was misleading.
The trailers were misleading -- and blew most of X3's good moments (as did the trailers for F4).
The screenwriter forums were misleading.
And even the post-DVD stuff was misleading.

Fox really just has lost all shame and I'm highly skeptical of anything coming out of that company anymore -- it's sad, in an attempt to bolster one property (X3), Fox literally ruined its credibility to effectively bolster another franchise that could be shaping up to be good. Reading both here and X-Men boards, a general feeling amongst fans towards Fox and Avi Arad is not a pleasent one -- it's inherenetly distrustful and almost, if they say one thing, we'll believe the opposite.

I just hope this works out for the fans because, well...Chris Evans if f-ing gorgeous, I've been falling ofr the F4 mythology, and the Silver Surfer just seems like such a cool cinematic concept.\

But trailers are so misleading nowadays. We were all WOW'ed by the X3 trailers and in the end, the movie produce something approaching lackluster. So I'm just hoping some of the assertions you make about the sitcom feeling being gone and stuff are accurate, and not just the result of careful, misleading editting. But I'd have to say that Ben crying, Johnny's joke, and the elongated arms of the wedding statue whisper cheese to me...

Let's hope not!

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Whoa, cowboy. What about Ben crying like a schoolgirl on helium?

From what I recall it was nowhere near that level.

Besides, people crying at weddings is not only normal, but it's also commonplace--even for the most "macho" of men. I shed a tear or two at my own wedding...I was just blown away at the sight of seeing my wife come down the aisle. Wasn't expecting that emotion, and I'm 220 lb bodybuilder... So go figure...emotions get the best of people...and Ben looked fine.

When I say "cheesy", I'm referring to Dalmations covering their eyes with their paws, etc.

 

[Advanced Dark]

I'll betcha money the Surfer flies back down and saves Johnny from the fall if he doesn't flame on again.
