Looks like this one hasn't leaked out on the web yet like the first one did (unless someone knows otherwise). The "teaser" trailer is completed and is going to play with the movie Monsters, Inc., which comes out November 2nd. http://www.starwars.com/episode-ii/news/2001/10/news20011029.html
Another good reason to see Monsters, Inc. I suppose. Here's hoping the trailer looks good. Lord knows the title 'Attack of the Clones' did little to hype things up...
Actually they are going to be three teasers/trailers to come out in Nov. In addition to Monsters Inc., there is going to be featured on the Star Wars website that can be attained through the Ep. 1 DVD. The last one is going to be the first trailer attached to Harry Potter when that comes out late November which is rumoured to clock in at around 2 mins. Got the information from the Texas based theforce.net. For more info click on the link below http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/tfn.cgi?storyID=12816
While you prompting for the star wars trailer, have some fun with the Eight Legged Freaks (formerly Arac Attack) one.
"Star Wars" trailer irks studios HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Under a watershed pact between two pioneering film producers, George Lucas' Lucasfilm will screen trailers of its upcoming ``Star Wars, Episode II -- Attack of the Clones'' before Pixar Animation's ``Monsters, Inc.,'' which opens Friday. The pact had nothing to do with the film's respective distributors, Fox and Disney, who now fear a slippery slope of trailer favor-swapping and an erosion of control over a time-tested link in the marketing chain. ``The question is, Who owns that space before the movie?'' asked one studio distribution chief. ``Is it the theater? Is it someone who produced or starred in the movie? Or is it the studio?'' Much of the outcry is over the physical attachment of the ``Star Wars'' trailer to the front of the ``Monsters'' print -- the best promotional real estate offered at the multiplex. Under Motion Picture Assn. of America guidelines, only 2-1/2 minutes of trailer time may be attached to the feature at the film lab. An attached trailer plays more frequently and in more prominent slots than trailers shipped separately to exhibitors. The MPAA makes an exception for one film per studio per year, allowing the attached running time to reach four minutes. People familiar with the ``Monsters'' case believe the one-time exemption was taken, enabling the ``Clones'' trailer and one for Disney's ``Lilo & Stitch'' cartoon to run two minutes apiece. Lucasfilm and Pixar share deep roots. Lucasfilm holds a financial stake in Pixar, which started as the computer animation unit of Lucasfilm before being sold to Apple in 1986. The two entities also share a rare degree of power over the studios distributing and marketing their pics. It was Lucas, after all, who used the success of the initial ``Star Wars'' to demand an unheard-of cut of the gross on ``The Empire Strikes Back'': north of 50%. The Lucas-Pixar relationship is close enough that a promo trailer for the THX sound system was recently scrapped because it featured characters from ``Shrek,'' DreamWorks' animated archrival to ``Monsters, Inc.'' Curiously, the Lucas-Pixar bond carries a potential downside for both of their host studios despite the ``Star Wars'' PR manna: ``Attack of the Clones'' reaches theaters on May 17, shortly before ``Lilo & Stitch'' bows. Fox referred questions to Lucasfilm. Jim Ward, Lucasfilm's VP of marketing, said the ``long-standing relationship'' between Pixar and Lucas benefits them both in this case. He dismissed any complaints about the tactics. ``All of this over a trailer?'' he said. Executives from Disney and Pixar could not be reached for comment. In November 1998, the trailer for ``Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace'' played before Universal's ``Meet Joe Black,'' an ignominious host which ``Star Wars'' fans walked out of after getting their trailer fix. -------------------
Saw the teaser today at the Monsters Inc. movie and damn it was kinda weak. It had like ten or fifteen tiny glimpses one after another and you really couldn't get a good look at anything. Yecht! There was one shot of a city in the sea that looked pretty cool.
i also saw monsters inc. tonite, (just got back) and i thought that trailer was pretty awful...for a second i had thought they were showing commercials for episode one! Oh well, monsters was a pretty badass movie.
Damn them. They made me see Monsters Inc. I told them NO! But they said c'mon. So I went. Pretty good.
Timing --- that's exactly how the trailer to Phantom Menace was...you got brief glimpses at some images....in the marketing world, some might call that a "teaser." seemed to work pretty well for Phantom Menace ticket sales!
Why do they only have the trailers with childrens' movies? There's no way I'm ever going to see any of those flicks!
In the case of Star Wars, I don't think any teaser or trailer is going to have much of an impact on ticket sales. It's going to be huge no matter what. BTW, there were a TON of previews before Monsters Inc. It must have been near 10. Poor parents...
I just saw Monsters, Inc. Great flick. Definitely go see it. As for the Star Wars teaser, it sucked. Just quick shots of the movie set to Darth Vader breathing. Worst... teaser... ever...
Well, just saw it tonight. Good movie, another solid job by Pixar. Not at the level of the Toy Story series, or Bug's Life, but good nonetheless. Trailer was ok, good for the teaser that it was. Can't wait to see something with a little more substance though.
Thats a shame, because Monsters Inc. was an awesome movie. I don't think I saw anyone under the age 16 in the theatre by the way (might have to something to do with the fact that it was the late show though). If you liked Toy Story, if you will like this. As for the preview, it was definately brief and rather insignificant. Azim da Dream
They just showed it on mtv. I really want to see it, but I don't want to fight the nuts who HAVE to be the first guy to see it.
They just showed the trailer on MTV's "Total Request Live" and it looked alright... the robots marching was real cool
