The ShoWest Event Thread

[Retroman]

On ShoWest's official schedule i noticed that 20th Century Fox will be present at this year's convention. I'm fairly certain they will have something special from FF2 like they did 2 years ago when the cast was present with a brand new trailer.

I've just had it confirmed that there won't be anything FF2 related at ShoWest this year.

Well thats not exactly good news.....very perplexing.........I know that they have said what is coming is FANTASTIC.....but seems to me it should have been here by now, and most certainly at something as big as ShoWest......


*sighs*


ok

 

[MattC]

I thought the same when they told me X3 wasn't going to have a presence, but I am assuming it may be because of the trailer delay. They may have had something there if the original schedule to put a trailer with 300 had gone to plan.

*sigh*

Very odd and, it seems, a couple of large marketing opportunities missed. (Tagging on Ghost Rider and at ShoWest).???????

 

[Retroman]

Fox didn't announce they were showing clips from X3 last year either but still ended up doing a mini presentation at last year's Showest. I'm fairly confident the same will happen with FF2. If not that would be a stupid move IMO considering the magnitude of the event.

They will show a new trailer or at least some footage. There's no way they won't show anything new to theater owners.

I'm sure Tom Rothman would say; ''we won't not show up''.

The following was spotted by Tim Story+F4-2 in the posters thread.Standee and poster on display at Showest 2007 which starts March 12. Hopefully some footage will be shown with some cast members present.

I think they meant, there wouldn't be anything Fantastic Four related....but it looks like they let the Silver Surfer show up.....

Wow, that is a badass promo piece.
