They must have forgot to put it on the list earlier [In reply to] Can't Post

As the Forrest Gump IMAX trailer was originally followed by Big Hero 6. So trailer either this weekend or on Monday (as I was told) Smile

I don't think so.... [In reply to] Can't Post

I think that's the length they gave on the British listing - unless I'm dreaming

It's a teaser, isn't it

So short... [In reply to] Can't Post

I know that we knew that already, but still...Unsure

"The danger with any movie that does as well as this one does is that the amount of money it's making and the number of awards that it's got becomes almost more important than the movie itself in people's minds. I look at that as, in a sense, being very much like the Ring, and its effect on people. You know, you can kind of forget what we were doing, if you get too wrapped up in that."

The flood gates are slowly opening ... [In reply to] Can't Post

and all manner of mayhem is being released from all these new images, shots, snippets and trailers!

There should be plenty to look at and enjoy in the next couple of days. How exciting.

Not really [In reply to] Can't Post

It's almost 2 minutes, not short at all. It is, after all, a "teaser". Sure, AUJ and DOS had longer teasers, but they had to tease more, as they had more plot points to cover/show and hint at. With BOTFA, all they really need is around a minute and a half to give us a glimpse of the major plot points: Lake-town attack, Dol Guldur attack, BOTFA. So 1min48sec is perfect for that. Would you rather have to wait till October for a full trailer? Tongue

MPAA [In reply to] Can't Post

I believe that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rates trailers for U.S. theaters just as they do for feature films.

"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.

Ever heard of Calgary, or Edmonton? [In reply to] Can't Post

Many films are shot in Alberta

For Example:
the FIRST
"Superman" w/ Christopher Reeves
many MOONS ago...

Why?
Cheaper Stagehands
than the USA...

Letzz Not Forget "BrokeBack Mountain"...UH?
"X-files" in Vancouver, BC...UH?
"The New TwightZONE...UH?
"The 13th Warrior"

"Moonstruck"...in Toronto?
UH?...
....
Bomby forgets
HOW..many movies have been shot in
Canada?

Hollywood HATES Canada..because
many of the BEST "technical people"
would rather work there
than in "HOLLYweird"?

"Keen Observer" (HERE, on TORn TV?)
livezz in Vancouver..(works in Film, there)
.He would know more?

or Google..... "Films shot in Alberta, Canada"

ABSOLUTELY shocking results..?

CGI [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm guessing this is one of the reasons it's shorter as well. They need more time to work on the effects before they show them off.

Yes Alberta is a province of Canada [In reply to] Can't Post

But I have no idea why the listing of a trailer on that one provincial website is a reliable signal of its imminent release. Kudos to the person who figured that out, whoever it was.

Anybody know the how and why of this?

They did tell me when I went on a fishing expedition for info that they generally rate trailers and post the rating on the day it arrives with them.

So it seems they only got TH:BOTFA today.

I dug around the MPAA sites [In reply to] Can't Post

They only seem to post their ratings for the films themselves. Not for other marketing material.

It's because.... [In reply to] Can't Post

We Canadians don't use the mpaa ratings. Each province has its own ratings board and Alberta's is kind enough to post their ratings of films and trailers as they finish rating them. They are legit and accurate. If a trailer is rated on their site it usually will be available within a week.
