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 :)

    @amit DBZ creator Akira Toriyama was hired as the films consultant but he wanted too much control over the film so FOX made him sign a new contract. That’s why he’s pissed.

    Now imagine if Toriyama came up with some cool moves, maybe the film might have turned out a little different than it is now. :-)

    @ dragonsoul2 Oh yeah, just finished watching Iron Man I geuss it got stuck in my head.

    On the ” Hater ” situation: I don’t think people are hating on the film. They just want their 10 bucks worth. Remember we the fans are the reason why they are making a DB film after so many years since it’s been aired ( remember all the talk of the idea being canned ). We come to this site because most if not all used to wonder how it would look live-action. With The Matrix, Lord of The Rings, The Dark Knight, etc, etc. We all have an idea what this movie could be so the scale is set high. Besides, watch the original Dragon Ball live-action movie. We just don’t want an American big-budget version of that. If people are hating than as T.I. would say ” Hate on, Pimpin’ “. Look at Iron man, so many people loved it yet they thought it was going to be trash. We’re all entitled to our opinion and if the “haters” are wrong, the ” true fans ” can always come back here and call them bandwagon bitches and force them to watch Kung Fu Hustle. :wink:

    oh boy, dont you love to writte like 10 lines of comment, and it doesn’t save :) anwayz im gonna try to type it again.

    @surcease; Why are you writting when your caps lock on ? are you a retarded ? because that’s what it looks, already said, aren’t you liking the movie ? so get the f out from this site, we dont need you crying here.

    @DPA ”People is not glad because the movie looks 10% close to the realstory ”; First off, i said ”IM glad …”, if people aren’t, that’s too bad for’em :)
    Second, omg man, you haven’t seen the movie, HOW can you say it has 10% of the story? and again man, it’s not going to be 100% as the anime, at least for the story, as has happen with many other movies such as, spider man, iron man, hulk, and many others, they aren’t always exaclty the same but it still didn’t suck, at least for the most cases, so wait to see how it is before judge.
    and 3rd off, ”why is chichi asian..”, oh come on! do you see what i’m talking about ? you guys are picking for everysingle detail that you not liking to complain..who cares about that, just do as i said once here, aren’t you liking how the movie is ? (even since you didnt see it yet) then STOP visiting and/or commenting in this site, simple, we dont need everyday for someone (im not saying that’s only you) to come and start arguing…there are many sites out there for that type of people, please just stay here the ones that believe on the movie, we need more of those…

    again, sorry about my english, but not just its not my main language, but i had to writte it twice, since it bugged here ¬¬, laterz

    I said “the movie LOOKS 10%”

    Nobody is asking 100% that´s impossible. but Wong just couldn´t found the equilibrium, or he got no balls to translate a magic world to the big screen.

    Hulk was green, Peter Parker always started as an student, iron man is very faithful.

    Goku never went to school, Piccolo is as green as that people never doubt about his color.

    And about the asian theme, i said it´s a closed theme, but it´s just curiosity that almost all actor are asian.

    And this is a site of db fans, this site is not to support, it´s made to give information and we give an opinion, and Adam is making a very good job.

  5. October 9th, 2008 at 13:07 | #5

    i like the idea that goku go to school, hey guys iron man was in afghanistan so it s different from the anime, and the idea of the school is a good idea,

    Havent youall haters already made your point that u hate the movie? so why keep posting it every time we get news? We already know u think u dnt like it and how the changes are being made. For us that still has hopes for this movie dnt want to hear your negative side.

  7. October 9th, 2008 at 14:19 | #7

    @ec:
    These haters never wanted the movie in the first place, so they just wait for every bit of news to pick out things they complain about, they arnt really giving there opinion. There never gonna go away so the best thing to do is just act like they dont exist.

    this is good news and i assume that the leaked trailer wasn`t the final one. and one thign to all this haters. ok if you dont like the movie why dafuck are you reading news about it =\ seriously i bet if the movie had some over muscle bad 3d hair guys fighting around you guys would love it >_> the movie is an adaptation of dragon ball meaning something will be kept from dragonball as we know and they will add new things and things that fit. the idea of goku going to school and all this new changes are actually good. what were you all haters expecting? 1 hour of randoming power ups and fighting?

  15. October 9th, 2008 at 14:44 | #15

    @frsh:

    And if it´s just a movie, a “cartoon” (actually it´s an Anime) Then why are you defending the movie so hardly, insulting and offending? :mrgreen:

  16. October 9th, 2008 at 14:45 | #16

    Since the topic of Goku’s “race” seems to keep coming up, I developed a new theory of which would explain some things. From this point on I’m viewing Saiyans as not necessarily a race, in terms of skin color, ethinicity, etc, but as in a species. Think about it like this. We’re all humans. But we have humans that are different colors. Blacks, whites, asians, etc. I think it’s the same way with Saiyans. They have black saiyans, white saiyans, asian saiyans, etc. I mean just look at the Bardock movie. I think Goku would be an example of a white saiyan, thus he looks white. And until someone can give me good reasons that he is Asian, other than the same old “he was created by an Asian person so he’s Asian” bullcrap, I’m sticking with that. And others should feel free to adapt my theory as long as I get credit. :)

    I noticed some mention of whether or not Flying Nimbus would cool in live action. I think it would look fantastic as long as it was made properly. Don’t picture Justin Chatwin standing on a puffy yellow cloud, picture a yellowish mist encircling his feet and propelling him into the air, with a tornado like trail at the end of it. I think that’d look pretty sweet.

  17. October 9th, 2008 at 14:47 | #17

    dpa- no im defending it so hardly im just mad cuz nerds keep bitchin about it being lame and wanting it cancelled thats why they need to shut up and yes its a cartton a japanese cartoon

    @Lord Jaric: Haters can bitch all day for all i care… but ever since i had an arguement with John Campea its got my nerves very very bad…

  19. October 9th, 2008 at 14:55 | #19

    It´s Anime. Based on a “Manga”, not a comic, btw :mrgreen:

    Onw thing is Wanting, another thing is Making, Haters won´t cancel the movie. So, why to be worried?

    And if They want to say their opinions, negative or not, they can. If you don´t like it, just ignore them.

  20. October 9th, 2008 at 14:56 | #20

    dpa-im worried none of these geeks haters cant stop it im not worried i said stop bitching about the movie likes that gonna stop it from comin im sayinn all thier bitching is for nothin and is waisted effort

    I don’t care if the movie sucks or not. I will still love it. It’s like evil dead or umm…the old dbz games on snes and playstation 1. You know they suck but for some reason you love them anyway.

    Lets just face the facts, this movie is coming, my guts are telling me its gonna be major suckage, Fox is gonna have spent 100 mil on a movie that maybe will gross 30 mil before some knock off teen comedy starring that kid from Juno comes out the next week and doubles what this will make. Most people except for DB fans will have forgotten this might be total trash movie soon as its outta threatres and a short time after the eventual DVD release. In the end we all have to face that the truth is DB just can not be made into a truly entertaining live action movie for one simple reason: The fantasy and action of it just doesnt translate well into live action. Point: The characters on the show just look totally buff and bad ass, even when he was a teen Goku had the buffness going. Point: they pulled off insane moves that would require the most elaborate fight coreagraphy in the world and CG to really make it look as awesome as the anime. So just stop hating, take a deep breathe, admit as much as you dont like it that yelling and whinning will not save the world from the coming of this movie and smile to yourself knowing that if it fail big time most people who arent DB fans will forget about it very quickly. As for me I’ve been a fan of DB since it first aired in america in wee hours of morning on same random channel before Cnetwork and I am not gonna hate on this movie, just say this: it wont be good but its not going to ruin your good memories of DB and DBZ, if anything a true fan would laugh it off and just say “OMG you remember that time they made a live action DB movie haha” So dont hate just suck it up and laugh if it fails

    October 9th, 2008 at 22:43 | #38

    I’m hoping for an ingenious move in the movie, like the double kamehameha where goku teleports and sandwiches the opponent with two hamehas.

    Something cool and unexpected would be awesome for the fans and viewers.. you guys remember goku creating a hameha with his feet in Dragonball? :D

  39. October 10th, 2008 at 01:38 | #39

    DPA is the number 1 of the haters
    he is crazy, all good updates he wrote bad things
    dpa know you make me angry, no only me but all the fans of the movie and the fans of dragon ball the anime, so shut the fuck up, if the movie does record in the box office you will never think that this movie is fantastic, you have the hate in your blood, you will never change, if you don’t like the movie, go and see the anime that was make 20 years ago. :mrgreen:

    the poll on the right isnt really helping this movie. People who enter the first time will think that that promo footage was actually a trailer and that it sucked, eventually leading people (who are banwagoners by nature) to think this movie will suck.

    point is: that poll on the right is misleading. plz delete it

  44. October 10th, 2008 at 20:54 | #44

    This movie better rocks, if not they will get what they deserve.
    We can’t tell if justin really plays goku as funny as he was as a kid.
    He better, he never grew up, so I hope he better don’t missact.

    Wait, what happened to you guys going all crazy and saying how cool the trailer was. Now, most of you are saying it wasn’t that great and that the real one should be awesome?!? This is why half of the positive gushing is so slanted to one side it’s pathetic. Some of you wouldn’t admit that it looked kinda shotty if your life depended on it. How sad.

    I will still go see max payne, but this is a real disappointment. Something isnt right. There a plenty of movies that have teasers way before they come out. I can find tons of info and screen shots on the new Harry potter movie, why not this one? I would be surprised that it is being reworked again. And what about the poll? if everyone loved it why does the poll say otherwise.

    I showed the trailer to non DB fans and frankly the reaction wasn’t that great. Most people thought it was a kids movie or the trailer really didnt show anything beside random images. I suggest you guys show the trailer to non anime/non DB fans and then check the reaction you get. Those are the people that fox wants to get to see the movie. Those people are the majority, not the fans.
