I wish it was longer but I guess it was to be expected once we knew it was going to be a teaser.

Count me as excited!

so,... [In reply to] Can't Post

How long does it usually take from the date of the rating to the trailer actually being available online?

I'm sure someone has a good estimate :)

Very different. [In reply to] Can't Post

Exodus took over two weeks... others only 2-3 days. That is at least what I witnessed over the last months.

"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien

We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

I know, but... [In reply to] Can't Post

The first trailer for AUJ and DoS were both "teasers" as well. And they were both over 2 minutes. I'm excited though. Maybe this means it will legitimately be a teaser and not show too much.

Our destiny lies above us.

Using DoS as a guide... [In reply to] Can't Post

Trailer was rated on 6/6/13. It was announced by PJ on 6/9/13, with a teaser poster. The trailer was then released on 6/11/13.

Going by that, it's possible the trailer could be announced by PJ on Monday, and released on Wednesday. But that's just a guess. It could be a couple weeks away still. Which is sad to think about.

Our destiny lies above us.

MPAA? [In reply to] Can't Post

Everyone seems to be paying attention to the BBFC and the Alberta Film Board. What about the Motion Picture Association of America rating?

Finally!!! Can't wait!! [In reply to] Can't Post

And to those saying it's "too short", just be happy we're finally getting something. If it were 2m30sec, some would complain too much was shown. I think 1min48sec is perfect for a "teaser" trailer. Sure, AUJ and DOS had longer teasers, but again, they HAD to show more, as they had more plotpoints to hint at than BOTFA, which really is Lake-town, Dol Guldur, and BOFA. So to give us a "tease" of those main events, just under 2 minutes will work perfectly fine. Would some rather wait till Oct. to get anything? Sure, I'd love a 2:30 trailer, but we're FINALLY getting a teaser, so any time frame it has works for me!

1% [In reply to] Can't Post

At 1 minute 48 seconds, it is exactly 1% of a three hour film. That's pretty generous for a teaser trailer. But I'm sure most of it will be about the Gandalf/Galadriel romance. Wink

Now his life is full of wonder
But his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down
To bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

Pretty long, considering there won't be big CGI fight scenes. [In reply to] Can't Post

All character oriented?
Let's hope so.

Sounds like we're getting much more of a 'teaser' this time around. Only a few more days until Comic-Con, and lots of news and buzz for the winter season!

Will you guys be upset if it doesn't show much? Or is ANYTHING enough? [In reply to] Can't Post

I mean in the sense of the French DOS posters, just some ominous shots like:



or an arrow flying through the air, shots of Dol Guldur and Smaug. E.g. really a teaser. Being an Heir of Durin fan, I'm more blasé and/or nervous about a trailer than anything, but I am curious re the feelings of people excited for the movie as a whole.
PS. I've posted this before, but they might as well just retitle this poster for BOFA - can't believe this DOS poster had Thorin in what I assume are BOFA clothes!Crazy
