Quintus 5,399 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah that teaser one was pretty good. But Ford's face looked wrong on the final one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 452 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 After Paramount pushed up Tintin to December 21st, Disney and Dreamworks have done the same for War Horse -- it'll be opening Christmas Day instead of December 28th (which was a really odd date to begin with). So two Spielberg movies are opening 4 days apart from one another. This should be an interesting holiday season...http://www.boxofficemojo.com/schedule/?view=changes&p=.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The War Horse trailer rating showed up on Alberta's Film Ratings. The running time is 2:24 and it got a PG whereas the first one got a G. Hopefully the one with have more "meat" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,337 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 So I guess this new trailer will show up on this weekend's new movies (Real Steel and The Ides of March) and will be online after the weekend sometime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percival 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Entertainment Weekly reported last week: "A new trailer will debut next week in front of DreamWorks’ Real Steel." Real Steel opens on this Friday, 7 October. I'm not very au fait with how this all works - does 'debuting in front of' mean it'll be one of the trailers shown before the main Real Steel feature in the cinema ie we have to wait until Friday when it presumably will hit the web as well, or does it mean it will debut some time/a few days before Real Steel opens, ie possibly today or tomorrow or Thursday? Whatever the answer - the next few days of waiting are going to be hell!http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/09/27/steven-spielbergs-war-horse-see-the-new-poster-exclusive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percival 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Another question, perhaps not deserving of a new thread - does anyone know when and where the film will have its premiere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,337 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It could hit the web before Friday, it could hit the web after the weekend. Its different for every movie.And yes, it means its supposed to be attached to every print of Reel Steal.... but that doesn't guarantee the projectionist at your particular theater did as he was supposed to.

Jay 37,337 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 What do you mean, like what country gets it first? Or are you asking when critics will get to start seeing it? Or are you asking if there will be a big red carpet Hollywood premiere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percival 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Um, when it gets the red carpet treatment. I've read about the various cinema/ general release dates, but was wondering if it'll get a big showy premiere before 25 Dec at a film festival or such like?

Percival 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 So you don't have any inside information then, shame. Thought you might. The publicity for War Horse has been so low key as to be almost comatose. The official website is crap - just the trailer, two or three of the ten or so officially released on-set photos and the synopsis. The best source of information is the wikipedia page, which is saying something! Seems a very low key approach to the film - there's not much word of mouth for a film that the critics are saying is a favourite for Best Film Oscar.

Percival 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Posted in May this yearhttp://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=7&topic=4316that the Titin premiere (23 December, so 2 days before war Horse) will be in Brussels on 22 Oct.

Matt C 452 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It looks really manipulative, but in the classic Spielberg way.I still wish he'd do a full-blown comedy (not something featherlight like The Terminal or brash like 1941) or a full-out horror film. And yes, I know he's done Jaws but that's a more suspenseful film than outright scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percival 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks so much for putting up the YouTube review Merkel - the reviewer did a great job in not spoilering it, plus I love it that the film has a sense of humour - wasn't expecting that somehow. I'm even more excited because he says that the trailer doesn't really give away anything about the film, that there's much more to it. And of course, it's good to hear the 'magnificent' Maestro has come up trumps again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
