A Sci fi film coming out within a week of star wars isn't just risky, it's flat out dumb.

I know they aren't going to be the same type of film but kind of a horrible place to put it. Seems like every Christmas studios jam pack a bunch of films in the same time. And 1 or 2 always suffer because of it.

It makes no sense not to have a trailer, a teaser,something.

Could be a push back maybe.
The problem is that blockbusters are popping up everywhere and there isn't much space for smaller films like that anyway. December used to be a big movie every now and then but Star Wars seems to be locking that and adding itself to May as well. January used to be the graveyard month but Deadpool showed that you can make money there. Only February and March can be quiet depending on what happens.

Maybe those movies need trailers more than a year in advance because of a lack of true star power.:youngsabo:
Nolan IS the star ya bish!

Deadpool moved into that February slot that Kingsman birthed. March is the new May starting next year.

I think they're holding off on the trailer because despite the star power of Pratt and Lawrence, they're not going to try and sell it as a popcorn blockbuster but as a prestige blockbuster (aka, an awards movie) and thus they'll focus the marketing entirely on awards season.

Also, word is that Passengers is one of the biggest victims of a court ruling that prevents Digital Domain from completing any of its MOVA motion capture technology because DD was midway into its work on the movie and thus the studio had to scramble for an alternative. Depending on how much of the film incorporates the MOVA footage it could explain the lack of a trailer also.



She is arguably the most popular young actress amongst the biggest audience of movie-goers (teenagers), that's why she's getting an astronomical push. I mean, she probably sucked some dikks here and there as well (there's quite a bit of rumors about her "work" relationship with David O Russell) but you don't get to be in every movie if you don't make the right people a lot of money.


This shyt has a 120mil budget :skip:

Think you givin JLaw alotta credit there.. The two big franchises she was in, she's done with. But we will see.... I know she's gonna be in Aronofsky's next flick.


I'm surprised Assassin's Creed hasn't been pushed back yet. Don't think it's a hot idea to go up against Rogue One :yeshrug:

Currently undergoing reshoots. Not a good sign. Wonder if it will still hit its date.

They just cropped the pic from EW and made it a poster :dead:

Trailers usually follow posters so maybe Monday or Tuesday we'll get one

Where you been breh? You're smart enough and follow enough movies to know that reshoots don't mean a thing anymore and they're built into the schedule of production now
I realize that breh but its more worrisome to me when we're 3 months out and haven't seen ANY footage and then these rumors start.

At least with Suicide Squad we saw a trailer 13 months out and then reshoots happened months later

I've been saying for days now this dude is a goddamn plebian but do you cats ever listen?:ducreux2:

Anyway, I'm not worried about the reshoots or the lack of a trailer. It's not really common and it's funny people joke about the movie being like Frank Ocean's album release, because you can't deny that shyt builds up anticipation and a sense of necessity to check it out when it finally arrives as everyone's been talking about when the hell that damn trailer is dropping. Sometimes the best marketing is testing an audience's patience.
