I´m a bit dissapointed
|
|
|
I hte to say this but I´m a bit dissapointed with TORN for releasing that twiter about something was to happen on Jjuly 20, or at least with the studio or whoever is responsible for that. Unless I misunderstood (wich is the most probably option) that twiter and it shouldnt have been taken as a confirmation that something was going to be released yesterday. If it was the Elrond in armour picture, come on, it´s been enough long time for only giving us that. Anyway, I´m suffering of an overexpectation, if that was the point of the merchandising campaing its working...

TORN got an inside anonymous note that the trailer would be released on July 20th. So they tweet and facebook about it. It didn't happen so either the source was lying or the studio decided that the trailer will be released another time.

It was a little careless on their part. Although I'd still like to know what made them so confident to post the July 20th thing AGAIN, since it was already taken down once before. You'd think they could take a hint.
How many Tolkien fans does it take to change a light bulb?

With every word.
"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 bet they're kicking themselves for tweeting that, and probably a lot more disappointed than any of us.
I doubt if it had anything to do with official marketing. Just a 'source' that wasn't as good as it seemed.

After the second 'july 20th' comment I honestly was expecting something, most likely maybe the teaser poster. That said, we all know that PJ and co are doing a Hobbit presentation at Comic Con this Saturday, so by then we WILL get the trailer surely (and may a few other titbits).
I think there's still a good chance we'll get something (either trailer of poster) before the weekend though.

If they weren't sure, they should have written that we "may" get something on the 20th. Their facebook page (which posted twice) seemed to be very very confident that something would happen that day. So you can't blame people for being dissapointed.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

I don't know who the source is/was but I have no doubt that if one of my fellow staffers got that information they were confident that it was going to happen. When they were told this was going to happen it was probably true but my guess is WB decided to use it at SDCC instead. We apologize for us being wrong in this instance but I do hope people will understand.

They wouldn't have posted the rumour if the source hadn't seemed OK.

But it wasn't and that's how it is. You can't win them all.
Honestly, I always thought a Sunday was an odd day for a release but I'm not really up on all that stuff.
The trailer will come when it comes and Comic Con is only days away now anyway.

and there is absolulutely no excuse for NOT to bring the trailer out now.
PJ seems to forget that we pay his house, his food and all that he has.
Not to show us more is inhumane. false and utterly wrong

I think it's fair to say PJ has done more in the name of involving his fans in the experience of making these movies than any director in history and that goes for the actors who have volunteered their time and exposure as well. He turned the trailer over to WB two weeks ago and they are probably driving the boat. My guess PJ's efforts are 100% tied up in the movie as well as presenting at SDCC. TORN probably received some info they thought was reliable from someone who had produced legit inside info before and it just fell through. At the time they posted, it probably looked like it would happen.
I want info as much as anyone but whether it is PJ or TORN information, I am fairly sure the lack of any is not related to a lack of caring.

And they tweeted several hours ago that they were sorry for the hype when nothing happened.
Hey, I was disappointed too. I watched twitter and PJ's facebook page all day yesterday waiting for the trailer to pop up. Still, mistakes happen. Unreliable sources happen. I am patient. I can wait. I think...
"Love woke me up this morning
With a memory
Love came and whispered a story
That awakened a dream,
I am a dreamer, take me higher
Open the sky up, start a fire

TORN very responsible IMO and re the buttterfly post *shrug*
[In reply to]

IMO TORn who has put quite carefully-sourced articles that I've seen snatched and reposted by other flighty "news" organizations is to be applauded, if anything. As I recall, TORn didn't SAY anything about a trailer, they said something that would make us sad - or something like that. That could be anything.
If things didn't pan out, it's true WB/PJ and others can be making release decisions and changes. Also from WB's perspective, a trailer is an advertisement and they are going to time their "commercials" for what they think is maximum return in December, not just for the Hobbit fans. If WB only cared about the Hobbit fans, their posters etc. wouldn't be so sloppy.
And BTW TORn has also some of the more interesting interviews, not just asking the same boring questions over and over.
