"The Producers" movie trailer... What are they waiting for?!?

Posted: 8/13/05 at 2:41am

It just seems to me like this should be out right now. The movie opens in about four months and still no trailer has been released! They must have some real idiots working the marketing campaign for this film. Filming ended a while ago if I'm not mistaken....

Has anyone heard anything?

40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN is the main rumor right now. We'll see...

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Hmmm. If it does come out with 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN it would make sense, as both are Universal films.

If not, then after Labor Day.

Producers rated 'R' for violence/gore and strong language?

Opps.

They are running the trailer by Art2 for approval, he's already made a few minor changes to the plot so look out for them! :)

Art2 has convienced them to show man on man action in the producers trailer since Leo and Uma clearly have something going on. Hey, it's only fair, I guess.

Sorry, bad joke made in reference to the thread about the RENT trailer being homophobic.

As long as "'Til Him" ends with a big smooch, we should be okay.

They will probably drop "Opening Night" , "It's bad luck to say Good Luck on Op'ning Night" and "Goodbye"

"Goodbye" would be fun over the credits - similar to the outtakes Pixar has in their films.

I agree- the song is only about half a minute long, hardly a time-consumer. If anything, it might get cut because it's so insubstantial.

I don't. Don't get me wrong, I love the song and think it's funny, but on stage it's basically there to give time for Springtime to set up, and if there are two new songs coming in, they're gonna be looking for time savers to cut. I'd be upset, but not surprised to see it go.

What are they waiting for? One of three things: 1. 40-Year-Old Virgin 2. Labor Day 3. Hell freezing over

On the subject of the supposed R-rating- "violence/gore"? That's frickin' hilarious!

well, yeah, that'll probably go. But that hardly leaves room for two knew songs, does it? I'm not saying it's definite that they'd take out "Good Luck", but I'm saying it's logical.

Frankly, I'm glad they're waiting to release the trailer. People get sick of a movie before it's even out when it's promoted 5 months ahead of time. There's such a thing as over-promoting and I for one am glad that the marketing staff decided not to push this film too hard.

Although I can't wait for the trailer (and the movie itself), I'm happy that they've decided to wait until a decent time to release it.

JMHO.

I hear that "Bad Luck to Say Good Luck" and "Where Did We Go Right?" are cut.

I also hear there's a huge Busby Berkely type set for "I Want to Be a Producer", and that "Prisoners of Love" will include scantily clad chorus boys.

No PRODUCERS trailer with 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN, it seems....

Like I said before...dollars to doughnts (I love that phrase!) It will out after Labor Day.

I think they are being arogant, thinking that the film won't need much publicity because it was a huge hit on Broadway. I have five words for them: The Phantom of the Opera.

Tells have it..

T'aint very good - lots of trouble with editing - among other things - but that's just hearsay -

of course RENT is finished - and has an entire studio behind it pushing it like a mutha! - and it's pretty ready to start being test previewed in the Heartland come September(which will make or break this film and "The Producers")....That studio is pretty sure they have the next Chicago on hand...

As for The Producers - not so sure!

I don't think that one should instantly assume the worst.

I think Universal is going to promote THE PRODUCERS very heavily, but much closer to release date. The movie-going public is easily distracted and it's just as easy for a film's 'buzz' to burn out as well as build.
