When will studios finally realize that showing any video reel, trailer or teaser at Comic-Con’s Hall H will inevitably be leaked if no official release has been made. It’s the nature of the internet and has become a sort of ritual each summer when Comic-Con rolls around. Some studios have been better with whetting the appetite of fans by giving those who can’t make Hall H with something to see. Others seem intent on trying to control what comes out of Hall H. It’s almost as if they’re saying “sucks to be you” if one couldn’t attend Comic-Con and get a seat in Hall H.
This year it seems Warner Brothers is that studio that’s trying to stamp out all the leaked footage shown at this year’s Hall H during their industry panel. It was a panel that was seen as the best thing about the Hall H gatherings. They did the right thing about releasing the latest trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice to the public and not just keeping it for the Hall H crowd. Yet, they whiffed big time by not doing the same for the Suicide Squad trailer (or first look as some call it).
Inevitably some in Hall H were kind enough to turn on their smartphones and video a rough and grainy look at the trailer which was then uploaded onto the internet. This was the first look a majority of comic-book and film fans got of Suicide Squad. Not a good look, but fans were playing this leaked footage nonstop. So, taking a page out of Marvel Studios PR playbook after the first Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer leaked in a very non-HD version, Warner Bros. has finally surrendered and released an HD-version of the Suicide Squad trailer.
All is right with the world.
Yep, this again.
Here’s the 2nd promo for AMC’s upcoming Fear the Walking Dead! This promo still doesn’t feature any walkers and that’s probably for the best. After all, we already know that this is a show about zombies. Instead, in this promo, we actually get to listen to people talk. On the characters claims that there have been reported outbreaks “in five different states!”
(He may be making the mistake of thinking that Vermont is a state. It happens.)
Personally, I like the enigmatic approach that AMC is taking with the Fear The Walking Dead promos. If nothing else, both this and the previous promo capture the atmosphere of impending doom that one would associate with a zombie apocalypse.
This promo for AMC’s upcoming Fear The Walking Dead is entitled Nick’s Escape. It really doesn’t tell us anything about the show, beyond the fact that there’s a guy named Nick who can run. It’s too early to say whether or not Nick is hot, largely because he’s running here and he’s too scared to do any hot guy facial expressions.
Still, the music is effective.
Fear The Walking Dead will premiere this August.
Why is there already a teaser for a film that’s not even supposed to come out until February of 2017? I have no clue. Judging from how little is actually in this teaser, I’m assuming that this little scene was filmed during the shooting of 50 Shades of Grey, just in case there was demand for a sequel.
Personally, I think they should call this movie Fifty Shades Darker: Return To The Puckered Love Cave but that might just be me.
Anyway, here’s the teaser for 50 Shades Darker:
They played this trailer at the Alamo Drafthouse shortly before the start of Ex Machina. It appears to be a French version of The French Connection. Who knows? It might be good. At the very least, it’s a reminder for American audiences that Jean Dujardin is capable of playing someone other than a silent film star.
Here’s the first trailer for Black Mass, the upcoming film in which Johnny Depp plays notorious Boston crime boss and most wanted fugitive, Whitey Bulger. Judging from this trailer, this looks like it might be Depp’s Oscar performance.
Seriously, check this out!
So, as you probably heard, AMC is doing a spin-off of The Walking Dead. It’s going to be called Fear the Walking Dead, which is not exactly the greatest title that I’ve ever heard.
(Seriously, Fear the Walking Dead sounds like it should be the title of a low-budget, Asylum-produced mockbuster version of The Walking Dead...)
But, despite that imperfect title, Fear the Walking Dead is still highly anticipated by Walking Dead fans. (Is Chris Hardwick going to host Talking Fear?) Apparently, it’s going to be a prequel, dealing with the early days of the zombie outbreak and maybe it will even offer up some clues as to why it all happened in the first place. Even better, it’s going to take place in Los Angeles so we won’t have to deal with any dodgy accents.
Here’s the first promo for Fear the Walking Dead. It aired last night during the Walking Dead‘s season finale. It really doesn’t tell us much about the show itself but, at the same time, it does have a nicely ominous feel.
