Subject: Thoughts on "Wall Street" promotions Posted By: Jeff, Certified Gold Club Member ( veetus@earthlink.net) Date Posted: 1/27/2010 7:07:06 AM Number Of Times Message Viewed: 97

As Stone mentioned in the Cambodian interview, they are up against it finishing "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps". It's been asked here: where's the trailer, where's the poster? But let's face it, they only finished filming a month ago. It's true that filmmaking is often up against the gun. Often a trailer and a poster come out while a film is still shooting for some of the big movies. The making of "W." was incredibly fast and they managed 2 trailers. One indication that things are being pushed back is the new "Wall Street" blu-ray. I mentioned that one was planned for next Tuesday (based on an announcement on 12/22/09 at www.thedigitalbits.com). I can't find any other indication it's coming out. Often a movie that's getting a sequel is rereleased on DVD with the trailer for the sequel included as an "extra". Maybe the blu-ray has been pushed back until the trailer is ready. There's all kinds of scenarios that could be going on. Maybe they don't have a clear view of the movie yet and it's best stuff for the trailer as they continue to go through footage. Maybe they're stuck on the best way to present the movie (given the failure of Michael Moore's movie about the economy, though that was a documentary). Maybe it's a last minute decision to promote it closer to the release 3 months from now. The studio was hot for this movie long before Stone was, so there's no indication they are dropping the ball. April 23rd is prime movie real estate, just 2 weeks before the summer really kicks off with the expected blockbuster "Iron Man 2" so the studio seems to have a lot of faith. We'll get our trailer(s) and poster(s), and hopefully a worthy blu-ray of the original (because it sounds like the current one sucks). After 22 years a few more months isn't too long to wait for more Gordon Gekko. This message currently has had 1 reply messages posted. RE: Thoughts on -- 1/27/2010 1:42:28 PM posted by dan
