The Dark Knight WB to go with new marketing plan

[War Party]

maybe. lets let the dice roll then.

Sorry, don't believe in any of that.

Sorry, don't believe in any of that.

what do you mean?

 

[dark_b]

so the next trailer is going to be in march.

 

[War Party]

I thought you were talking about karma or something with your reply. i guess not.

According to that dark horizons article I posted on the previous page, yes.

no, i wasn't.

i doubt the family would feel any different in a year than 6 months. We're talking about all of this in the context of Heath dying 2 days ago so of course it all feels close to the bone now, but 6 months is a long time.

well what about Nolan and co? Do they need a break from editing? Is it too much for them right now?

I would hope Nolan is strong/wise enough to appreciate that life goes on. I'm sure he'll take some time out to mourn but it doesn't take 6 months to edit a movie.

you'd be surprised. editing is an art form. a time consuming one at that. And i don't think its wise for you to tell people how long they should grieve for. I.e, family, friends etc..

That's fairly hypocritical considering you effectively said they'd be fine if it were pushed back to Christmas. Who are you to say anyone would be over it in 11 months time if not 6?

At any rate the business angle of all this is too huge to ignore and at this point it will make more money in July than in 11 months time. There is nothing disrespectful about keeping the release date, and I hope Nolan is a good enough artist to plough on despite all this.

Agreed

 

[FCEEVIPER]

The campaign was to remain Joker-centric until March when the next trailer was scheduled to debut with the release of the studio's "10,000 B.C." and said to focus more on the roles of Batman (Christian Bale) and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) in the picture.

no, but its at least being considerate. Its a guesture of good will on WB and the fans part. Doing nothing is perhaps not the best course of action.

How's delaying the film going to help with their grieving? It's still going to come out. They're going to be sad as hell anyway 6 months from now and one year from now. The film itself shouldn't be an issue here.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

I think WB should delay the film until the winter. I think maybe family and friends will want more time to grieve, and also, for the hoopla to die down a bit.

I might come off as selfish, but no. I would really hate that.

Keep it for July 18, 6 month is more than enough time to ease the pain somewhat.

its a mark of respect. Plus, the extra months can't hurt there grieving, can it?

Can't grieve too long. It's not healthy. I've seen it.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

best to let people grieve in their own way though, not to impose a time limit. that would be cold and callus.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

also, i would say don't use ledger to market this film anymore. Use dent, and batman instead.

this conversation is going nowhere...

I would hope not.

Yeah, I know. I think I'm done with it. Just as long as the movie comes out in July, I'm good. His family will be aight.

you sound profoundly selfish.

Oh well.
