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 :)

    Some might think this is bad news, but its acutally not:-) . They will have a 2 minute long trailer ready with all of the special effects and action perfected which will give us a better sight into this film and it will probably come out 4 months before the release date just like all trailers do. 8) 8)

    @Maximum Aids: It doesn`t prove anything, it still might be just a bluff, caused by weak responce from fans.

    Remember – I`m only saying IT MIGHT BE, but I may be wrong.

    @DBLAM sucks: Yeah, I tottaly agree… NOT! Millions of so called loyal fans, that see Dragon Ball as a dead story, and won`t let anyone revive it and give it a new shape, because they are so damn stupid that they cant understand, why even is it diffrent!
    People like you must really suck in their lifes. I can call my self a loyal fan, exactly because I do care and support this movie, no matter ho much may it suck ass, I still believe it won`t!

    PS:Seems this guy has a really hard issues.

    I’m just so disappointed with the clips that have been leaked out, there is no way that special effects would save this movie unless the use them to cover the whole screen…

    I love Dragonball.

    I hate Power Rangers
    I hate The Karate Kid.

    I hate Fox, they really messed up the biggest potential movie since the Matrix – By pulling off a quick kid flick.

    Every fan knows that Dragonball has their own unique style of fighting, and from the small trailer we could see that they neglected this. No wonder Toriyama is pissed with Fox.

    I would be pissed too if I created something cool, which was later watered down into a PG adaptation. The movie had so much potential, but was later all wasted.

    Like my tutor used to tell me: ‘You can’t polish shit (if it’s shit in the first place.)’

    and in this case, you can’t polish shit with special effects, it will still look like crap.

    October 8th, 2008 at 18:02 | #11

    Is Toriyama REALLY pissed with fox? I wan’t some proof, I’ve heard rumours but never seen documents regarding this. Please enlighten me somebody.

    @Devilman:
    Toriyama isnt pissed at al actualy he doesnt realy care…
    @Groku:
    Um just imagine for a sec that you see a leeked clip from a movie like 300, sin city or something simular and they havnt done the special effects on it yet, what do you think it would like like, crap perhaps?

  13. October 8th, 2008 at 18:13 | #13

    @Devilman: That guy never talks. I’ve probably read one interview from him and the rest were just notes he puts at the beginning of all his mangas…for DB anyway.

    Toriyama isn’t pissed at Fox, it’s just a rumor perpetuated by the Weabos that keep trying to add some kind of justification for their endless whining. The thing that they keep forgetting (and this is key) is that this isn’t “Akira Toriyama’s Dragonball”, or *insert random fanboy’s name here*’s Dragonball. It’s “James Wong’s Dragonball, and that’s all there is to it really. Don’t like it? Don’t see it. It’s not like this movie is going to ruin your fandom if you’re a “true fan” like everyone keeps trying to shout from the mountains in elitist anime fanboy fashion when trashing this movie. Either don’t see it, or wait until you do and then judge it. Like it or not, many people, including fans are going to like this movie. Go watch your anime, read your manga, and pretend it doesn’t exist, sheesh.

    WELL GEUSS WUT HATERS ALL YOUR PISSIN AND MOANING IS FOR NOTHIN LIKE FOX GIVES A DAMN ABOUT WUT U THINK THE FACT STILL REMAINS THIS MOVIE WILL HIT THEATERS AND NO MATTER WUT SAY OR DO IT WONT FUCKIN MATTER. CUZ IT DONT MATTER WUT U THINK ITS GOIN TO HAPPEN SO HAHAHAHA

    I hope they take the whole movie down, I’m a dbz like all of you here and this just seems like a crappy attempt to make a quick buck. Piccolo is green not grey for starters, theres barely anything in this whole damn movie that looks like db.It’s a freaking dissapointment this youtube fan video

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dffm7pBjPA

    is like 10 x more badass and db looking and didnt cost $100 million dollars unlike the budget for this crap. I’m sorry i’m not a negative person but this is just sad. it looks like just another hulk. They have such a great story to work with yet here they go possibly ruining the series and definately ruining the chance for a great live action version of the show. I think i’m going to write and complain or something cause after seeing that trailer all my hopes for this film died. The people behind this probably never even watched enough of the show to have a passion for it. this sucks, trailer sucks, costumes are awful. i mean cmon goku is jacked or atleast athletic looking. and wtf with the gay sports cars and cheesy fight scenes. even the dragonballs look gay.

    @Groku: Agree’d man they totally sold out

  20. October 8th, 2008 at 18:49 | #20

    It’s amazing that even with latest info from Fox themselves, stating that this leaked video WAS NOT the finished official trailer, that people are still judging the entire movie solely based on it. I’m completely baffled by this.

  21. Groku
    October 8th, 2008 at 18:54 | #21

    sajin0084.deviantart.com: I don’t think that Dragonball is all about the special effects until they start reaching the Z era, I believe it should be about the fighting technique, speed, multiple cloning and various dynamic arial acrobatic hand to hand fighting.

    I’m also disappointed with the mini fighting arena, I wish they made it bigger. You can’t really special effects that can you? Nope.

    As for The 300 I never liked it, but I must admit the special effects on it was cool, without the effects it would suck.

    BUT it had all the bone crushing violence, blood, guts, and decapitation people wanted in a true warrior movie. That’s the core of the movie before they started to add effects to it.

    I just have something to say about all the people who just talk shit about this movie…. We get that you dont like it…so why do you keep coming to this site and posting how much you hate this movie, isnt that just a waste of time? If you guys dont like it *we obviously know by now* then why post? dont come to this site and dont look stuff up about it if you dont like it…..Youre just ruining it for the people who re pumped up about this movie.

    If you think its shit then stop looking up the movie… its all im saying. and im not trying to start shit im just saying how i think the shit talking is rediculous.

    October 8th, 2008 at 19:03 | #23

    Dragonball is too ‘PG’ for my liking.

    I hate it when the Americans censor stuff and water down the violence, look at the Japanese and American versions of Dragonball Z for instance.

    Anime
    Japanese Version = Hardcore, decapitation, blood guts and swearing
    American Version = Average fighting with kiddy style humor.

    October 8th, 2008 at 19:14 | #24

    How Freeza started torturing Krillin was edited out.
    How trunks killed freeza with his sword was edited out, he didn’t just cut him in half before blowing him up, he chopped him into tiny chunks.

    That’s just some stuff they censored..

    I saw the teaser and loved it. Trailer coming out the day the end stood still would be awesome.

  29. October 8th, 2008 at 22:04 | #29

    @Groku: So now you’re complaining about the anime? I think you’re on the wrong website. I’ll give you reasons for the editing. Japan has a completely different standard on what’s allowed to be showed on regular television. Have you seen their game shows? They allow bloody cartoons and stuff because they don’t have random school shootings and stuff in their country. They don’t have to worry as much about filtering out of all the violence, cause their history of civil violence is nowhere near as high as ours. The U.S. is the exact opposite. The very first version that I ever saw of Dragonball Z was the edited American one, and I mean it was extremely edited. “I’m going to send you to the next dimension!” Remember that stuff? Well I still loved it. And even if this live action movie isn’t great, nothing’s going to change that.
    @GokuIsAsian: Don’t even finish that statement.
    @Adon12080: Chi Chi is very hot. Extremely hot.

  30. October 8th, 2008 at 22:09 | #30

    Another thing, Dragonball Z didn’t become really popular in the U.S. until it ran on Toonami on the Cartoon Network. Did you really expect all that blood and swearing on the CN? I mean yeah, now they could probably show it, cause they have Adult Swim, etc. But they would’ve never showed those uncut versions at 4 in the afternoon.

  31. October 8th, 2008 at 22:10 | #31

    C`mon with that thing of “Goku is white”. If it`s planned that Goku turns into SSJ, How they gonna show a blond blue-eyed ASIAN guy? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    And if Goku isn`t asian, it`s more notorious that he`s adopted. For me that theme is closed.

    BTW, watching tha teaser, I still don`t undertand the first seconds :mrgreen: The fixation about the yellow car and the serious fights (Goku, Roshi, Mai and Piccolo) in a house or a cave (what`s that? Mario Bros? :mrgreen: )

    Hey Would They Put the Flying Nimbus in the Movie?
    I Wan’t to see Goku Flying With the Flying Nimbus.

  34. October 9th, 2008 at 00:07 | #34

    why you want to see a cloud that fly? :?: and the yellow car is not the fly nimbus, the yellow car is the car of the bulliet that fight with goku
    i hate that nimbus-more fun when goku fly alone that with the nimbus
    guys i dont hope that they fix the trailer becasue some greatest movie had bad trailer, and i hope that they fix a little the movie, for examplethe colour of the screen, i want that the colour of the screen be more dark

    Dragonsoul2 yea I think I went off the topic there haha. Anyway.. it all comes back to American censorship in films, it sucks the life out of the movie.

    I used to watch the Cantonese version of Dragonball back in 1988-89, watching the American version on Toonami pissed me off.

    Oh well i’m still gonna watch it no matter how crap it is I guess, if I say I won’t be watching it i’ld be lying. :mrgreen:

    lol Groku, why would he be pissed off. I understand him being kinda frustrated with the lack of story, but it was totally his choice to let them do a movie. And would u be pissed off, if someone made a movie out of a story u created?

    First off, we love your enthusiasm for the film. We are so sorry to ask that you remove the content since we are not ready to release the trailer because you think it’s s***, so we need to add more special effects to make s*** look better. We don’t mean to irritate or discourage you and your readers from following this film campaign but we enjoy shifting deadlines to make the fans suffer more in order to make the film better. The pieces of content that are being leaked were not created to be used as a trailer… *pause* although this does look like a fully narrated trailer with clips that are relevant to the film it is still not ready because the fans still think it’s s*** so we think it’s s*** so we need to add more effects! :mrgreen: The trailer was highly confidential material only to be shown to potential Licensing & Merchandising partners who need to make partnering decisions far far far in advance of the release date (even though we promised this October to make the fans suffer.) We have no idea how this piece of a c*** trailer got leaked to the public, the content has not been approved for online use but you can still watch it here http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/dragonball/teaser-trailer. Elements like music clearances and even talent approvals have not been pursued because we had no intention of having this go online but here it is, enjoy the c*** trailer. Just to let the fans know, a lot goes into a trailer or video being authorized for online use, because that’s how we sell s*** movies to the public….

    We had hoped to have a REALLY KICK-ASS TRAILER done by MAX PAYNE’s in-theater date, but because a lot of effects shots are still being worked on and we’ve decided to wait until there is more material to work with, so we can really “wow and con” the fans into watching this s*** we made with a budget of 100 million USD. 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.. maybe November.. no no, we say December but it’ll probably be next year… since it may need more effects.

    Again, thanks for all your interest in our movie. I am happy to update you when we get new artwork and approved video to distribute in the future but that will be ages away. We appreciate you removing the content, and don’t mean to cause you any headaches with your readers but we enjoy doing this to p*** you guys off :)

    THIS GOES TO THE IDIOTS WHO KEEP ON SAYING GOKU IS ASIAN!!!!………… Give me ONE clear example that makes goku asian? Can you do it? Ok how about i give you a few facts that prove he ISNT…..For starters his eyes…Last time i checked asians dont have big rounded eyes…..second his heigth…not saying there aren’t tall asians but the average male asian stands 5′5….third his attitude….most asians are very laid back to themselves and shy people….Goku is def. more western with his personality….loud..flamboyant….eats all the time….

    That’s what makes me mad, im 100% sure that at least 80% of all those crying babies that are complaining for everysingle detail that they are not liking about the movie will watch the freaking movie anyway.

    To me the movie has pretty chances for being good, from the leaked teaser i saw somethings i didnt really loved, but i liked the fighting scenes, and if they are adding even more effects (since that was not 100% done) i think they might give us something really awesome, im just glad they are doing a dragonball movie, that was always me dream to see it in live action, even if its not 100% the same, which lets be honest, if it was, it would look ridiculous for somethings.

    sorry about my english :lol:

    sorry for double posting, but since there is not editting button here, i read the kaiokenx10’s comment and i had to say, goku, asian or whatever,
    correct me if im wrong but i always thought goku came from some place else, like isn’t he a SAIYAN ? o.o’ or didnt u watch DBZ only db ? =x

IF ANYONE IS ACTUALLY PUMPED FOR THIS MOVIE THEN THEY ARE FUCK TARDS. THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BOTHERED MAKING THIS NEED TO GO AND SIT IN A VERY VERY DARK AND LONELY CORNER AND THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE!! IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED AN ANIME/MANGA… THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED!!!!!!!! :evil:

  47. October 9th, 2008 at 09:03 | #47

    i wanna see the trailer so freakin bad
    whens it coming out? :mrgreen: :D

    The real question is Why Yamcha, Chi-chi and Roshi are asian if in the anime they have rounded eyes too?
