I posted this theory a couple days ago but it seems like the discussion about whether or not what we saw at the Expo's is what we are going to see during the premiere of Max Payne is still going on. I guess we'll find out if this theory blooms into reality on October 17th or if it just shrivels up and dies. So feel free to express what you think we are going to get on October 17th.


"Teaser Trailer" Theory and Why we are going to see a different trailer/teaser on October 17th during the Max Payne screening.


I have a theory about the "teaser trailers" we saw. If some of you remember, back in June 25th we got our first reports about footage being shown at the Cinema Expo 2008 in Amsterdam. Heres the first report from Screen Daily:

"Delegates were also shown footage/trailers/teasers for thriller Mirrors (starring Kiefer Sutherland), French box-office hit Taken (starring Liam Neeson), Mark Wahlberg’s new film Max Payne, The X-Files: I Want To Believe, Dragonball, romantic comedy Bride Wars (starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway), Night At The Museum 2, and unseen footage of Tom Cruise Second World War drama Valkyrie."
Soon after we received an update of the footage that was shown at the Expo:

It’s definitely true that they’ve shown a teaser of Dragonball, but it’s just a couple of short scenes. Because of the enormous amounts of trailers, teasers, clips and films shown at the Expo, I can’t remember exactly what I saw, but I remember that it was cool!”
Does the description sound familiar? We know that Immediate Music finished their score in May and the Expo took place during June 24th-June 25th.

and now just recently at the Brand Licensing Europe 2008 they show some Dragonball footage also.

When Adam from Dbthemovie received these trailers from an anonymous source they were in a .VOB format meaning they were originally in a DVD (Meaning staff members at the expo just threw in the DVD and left the video files in their desktop/laptop and released it). So let me get to the point before you lose interest in reading this. The footage we saw was meant for the Expos . That would explain why we have two teasers/trailers (One for each Expo) and that would also explain the "cheesy" character cut outs thats in one of the trailers, they were for an Expo crowd to let them know who the characters are. (Also notice how the most special effects seemed a bit unfinished/not polished,this was five months ago which would explain the lack of scenes that involve a lot of special effect usage.)

I have another bit of news that further supports my claim that we are going to get a complete different trailer on October 17th.

From IGN on August 26th:
"The first teaser trailer for the live-action feature film version of Dragonball will reportedly hit theaters in October. A studio source informed IGN that, while Oct. 17 is Fox’s “target date,” nothing is guaranteed until the special effects and requisite approvals are in place."
They specifically mention that they are working on the special effects for this trailer (a different one) thats attached to Max Payne . So expect a far more coherent trailer with a better arrangement of scenes within the trailer and better special effects (Or I should say scenes that weren't included in the previous trailer because they weren't finished with VFX/SFX). Again this is speculation based around factual information/news that we've received.
 
well, i guess we will find out pretty soon-i wouldn't rely on that,though.......btw,great post..thanks for sharing this with us,craig
 
Who knows really? It might happen. If so, let's hope it's better.
 
One can only hope for a new trailer, cause it can't be any worse can it???:wow:
 
I have dropped my rating of the trailer to a shocking 6. Too much high school stuff not enough good fighting. We need more stuff about DRAGONBALL. I hope it's not the real trailer.
 
Yeah definitively, that promo we saw just scream rushed out
 
the video was an insult

lets hope for the best. FOX always made good promotion video.
 
I hope it's something different, but I think it will be the same.
 
Fox is going to delay the trailer after this recent leak.

I have this feeling that a DVD screener for DB will leak a good 2 weeks before the movie releases in North America and then I won't bother to watch it in theatres.
 
No other movies have that problem so why would that just so happen to Dragonball

lol

The Bourne Ultimatum movie leaked a good 1 week before the movie release.

Hostel 2 leaked a good 2 weeks before.

DB has bigger fan than those two combined so I am pretty sure a dvd screener will leak.
 
We'll know in less than 2 weeks.

I personally think it will be a completely different trailer. Albeit some of the same footage, though.
 
So out of all the hundreds of movies made Dragonball will just so happen to be 1 of those?

Spiderman, Batman is bigger than DB didnt happen with them.
 
If the Theatrical Trailer doesn't look majorly different, then this Movie is going to terribly bomb.
 
I dont think itll bomb, Speed Racer bombed that did $40 million.

Dragonball will make more than that and its budget is $100 mil.

I think alot of fans will go regardless.
 
It will only get the hardcore fans, who watch everything as long as it's got the name attached to it. But if the Theatrical Trailer remains similar to the Promo, I don't see any non-fans getting interested. Because it looks cheaper than Forbidden Kingdom, Bulletproof Monk and The One.
 
Casual fans will go see it to, i have a group of friends who are fans of DBZ never watched Dragonball and didnt know about the movie.

I told them about it and there all gonna go see it.

But a proper trailer needs to show fighting, flying, and a dragon. If its gonna get new people in.
 
Because they probably don't know any better. Show them the Promo and ask them again if they want to watch it.

I know that none of the people I know will go.
 
With a film like this how can they make a good film from no CGI, thats why its all flips and explosions.
 
It's easy if they'd try to sell it as an adventuroes journey type Movie. They wouldn't need to show clips that rely heavy on CGI. Some character dialogue, shots of beautiful locations, some dangerous elements are enough to get the whole Dragonball adventure feel.
