But even so, TDK's prologue was released 6 months out, contained a lot of content, and was released in HD on the Batman Begins Blu-Ray...The guy is factually wrong regardless of his reputation, and he's spreading misinformation.AhmadAli95 wrote: ↑August 17th, 2019, 8:28 pmHe specifically mentioned IMAX so he probably meant the prologues not the teasers.
To get the prologue on disc is different than it being released online but I see you your point. He definitely mixed things up.
There's no such thing as too weak for an online release. All the Nolan teasers were released online, including TDK teaser which had zero footage. The guy is wrong.blackColumn wrote: ↑August 17th, 2019, 8:33 pmThe guy literally said it's too weak for an online release.
Honestly, I believe him. What's more interesting is that Dunkirk's teaser had vibes that were 100% different from the movie itself. I won't go as far as to call it misleading but it set me up for a different movie altogether.
There was no scence in Dunkirk that was not teased through marketing / TV spots / trailers. If you saw all of them you had nothing to discover in the movie at all.
These are facts.
So let me get this straight. Your retort to ‘there are no sources stating this unusual situation where a theatrical teaser won’t be released online’ is ‘there are no sources to state that it will’ you know, despite the fact that they always do. I like you, you’re the gift that keeps on giving with this shit.AhmadAli95 wrote: ↑August 17th, 2019, 6:27 pmDude, are you for real?Sharkboy wrote: ↑August 17th, 2019, 5:45 pmThis is why I don’t like discussing this crap, there’s way too much baseless assumptions that get mistaken for scoop. What ‘word’ there’s nothing but speculation based on people’s impatience and frustration, there’s been absolutely no actual sources stating that it won’t be released.
Also this is an announcement teaser, they don’t do them much anymore because most studios correctly figured how pointless it was to hype a film that’s a year out. These teasers are just to let the world know the film exists. So all this bull crap about logical timing, peak hype, missed opportunity is stupid. There’s absolutely no bearing for anyone but the dozens of people on here that are going to watch it anyway.
There's been absolutely no actual sources stating that it will be released either.
Have you been following how trailers are being released lately? A trailer gets rated to be attached to a certain movie in cinemas and then it drops online days before the first showings or right before the first showings in the US. That happened with Dunkirk. It didn't happen with Tenet. It wasn't rated beforehand (internationally at least). There was no announcement, it was just sent to cinemas.
Teasers are released to generate hype for movies otherwise they already have press releases to announce the movies and let the people know they exist. Teasers get released so they get people talking about the movie. No matter if it's a year or a couple months in advance.
Once people started seeing the teaser, they reported every where, hype started building. So many outlets starting talking about it - that hype, that exposure could've been boosted and taken advantage of (that's what most studios would do). You don't wait till the hype cools down and then release whatever you set to release. Trailers, TV spots, Instagram ads closer to release are also there to continue and generate hype. If you can't comprehend that, it's not our problem dude.
The first full trailer will no doubt drop with Star Wars in december. And an IMAX prologue would be a nice bonusHorrorBiz wrote: ↑August 18th, 2019, 3:13 amIt's funny seeing so many people flip out over a 40 second teaser trailer not being released on the internet for several weeks now. Who cares at this point? I'd rather just wait until the first full length trailer comes out in the next few months, probably in December.
You know, you and Scott Mendelson are tight and I hate it lol. Brief and sparse teasers like this unfortunately don't work for a general audience online today. There's a reason only Nolan and Disney do teaser trailers like this, most are dropping substantial 2 and a half/3 minute pieces with more footage/laying down the story from the get go (and I'm not talking smaller releases starting marketing 5/4 months out, talking blockbusters, even the MCU and DC films have, Endgame aside, done away with 'classic' teasers). Hell, even did a whole piece on this trend on TT last year after how badly people reacted to the Aladdin and Toy Story 4 teasers. Both, like this one, were built more to be seen on the big screen and - more importantly - when you don't know it's coming. But when you actively look it up, people expect different things and react accordingly.HorrorBiz wrote: ↑August 18th, 2019, 3:13 amIt's funny seeing so many people flip out over a 40 second teaser trailer not being released on the internet for several weeks now.
