No Trailer with Max Payne

October 6th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

Our friends at DBLegends talked with Fox about the status of the theatrical trailer and if the teaser we leaked would be shown with Max Payne. As it turns out, the trailer that was leaked was never meant to be shown to the public, and Fox was working on a different one that was scheduled to premiere with Max Payne. But, because the film’s special effects are still not completed, it has been delayed until later this year.

First off, we love your enthusiasm for the film. We are so sorry to ask that you remove the content. It is not meant to irritate or discourage you and your readers from following this film campaign. It’s just that the pieces of content that are being leaked were not created to be used this way. They were only meant to be shown to potential Licensing & Merchandising partners who need to make partnering decisions far in advance of release date, and the content has not been approved for online use. Elements like music clearances and even talent approvals have not been pursued because we had no intention of having this go online. Alot goes into a trailer or video being authorized for online use….

We had hoped to have a really kick-ass trailer done by MAX PAYNE’s in-theater date, but because alot of effects shots are still being worked on – we’ve decided to wait until there is more material to work with, so we can really “wow” you and the fans. This is not uncommon for a film that still has 6 months until it goes in theaters. It looks like the real trailer will be released a little later in the year.

Again, thanks for all your interest. I am happy to update you when we get new artwork and approved video to distribute. We appreciate you removing the content, and don’t mean to cause you any headaches with your readers :)

    So I was right, this trailer was not really supposed to be shown to the public and the effects in those shots are not finalized. Good thing I guess, Im not gonna go to the theatres watching this as a Dragon Ball movie, I have no expectations from this movie so if it fails I’d be like whatever and if it’s good I’d be delighted, basically no disappointment = win.

    Sorry for double, but ya it sucks that there isn’t one with Max Payne, that was one of the driving factors for me to go watch the movie in theatres, Im still gonna watch it tho.

    thats good there taking more time with the special effects, and that there will be another trailer being released because i want this movie to get da best reaction from db fans and non db fans because this leaked trailer didnt really make people more hyped about the movie and jus brought out mostly negativity from some so called”FANS”so another trailer with completed special effects will be better and like they sed they want to wow us so lets be pleased they are taking more time with the trailer.

  25. October 6th, 2008 at 16:45 | #25

    thats great!! the trailer disappointed me. :( this new one should wow us for sure!!! (i hope)

    What are Fox releasing in December? More than likely it’ll be just before christmas i’d say.

  27. October 6th, 2008 at 16:51 | #27

    Ahhh Good news, because the teaser, was terrible.
    Fingers crossed!

    Hope this trailer blows us all away!

    Awe, I was looking forward to the trailer for Max Payne too. I’m still going to see that movie though. ;P

    Anyways, I’m glad to hear that it’s still being worked on. I dunno, but when I first viewed the trailer that was leaked, it gave me that incomplete feeling, and I felt that it could have been better. So I’m happy that we’re supposed to be getting an even better trailer. ^____^

    Good news, very good news! this trailer we saw left a lot to be desired although i didn’t mind it, it still was sub-standard and i think a lot of people if they saw that would be like WTH was that!?

    AS long as they don’t change the release date again i don’t mind waiting a bit longer for the trailer as long as they work hard and give us a sweet one. :mrgreen:
