Ollie 1,059 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Amazon's mistake was publishing a tracklist before legal kinks for the soundtrack were worked out and the CDs were pressed...and everyone else's faults for running to Amazon for official info.The voice of reason has spoken.

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm sure Dark Knight will do well because of Heath Ledger and the phenomenal work he appears to have put into his final performance.But this is Indy's return after 20 years!

tpigeon 3 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Joe, how is it possible to give an "honest" assessment of his performance? It would be impossible not to situate it amongst the media attention his death received. No matter how one evaluated his performance, that evluation will be affected by the events in January.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 If Dark Knight is anything thing like the first film they wont be getting my money.In regards to KOTCS, perhaps Concord is aware of past leaks and has decided to keep this under wraps as long as possible.

Morlock 11 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I think that The Dark Knight might have (if the performance is as interesting as it would seem from the promotional material) solidified him with the great reputation he was given upon his death. Speaking for myself, I don't recall being wowed by any of his earlier performances (not a Brokeback Mountain fan), but I was overwhelmed with sadness when hearing about his death. A big part of that was anticipation of greatness The Dark Knight...but maybe there was something more. I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Everyone thought his performance was/was going to be phenomenal before he even died. I'm one of them. He was excellent in I'm Not There as well, which is what made me anticipate The Dark Knight even more. His older work wasn't anything special. Only recently has his work been great, which is sad since he died at the top of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big part of that was anticipation of greatness The Dark Knight...but maybe there was something more. I'll never know.I would have to agree. From what I've seen his work as The Joker may have been his best in all honesty, which when you think about it is a fitting end to his career (the Terry Gilliam film not withstanding because it wasn't finished). I'm betting Indy will make a lot of money. I don't know if it will be number one for the year, but it will probably be successful financially (despite the strange lack of marketing).

Morlock 11 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Initially, I didn't see Indy becoming a highest grosser....but the closer we get, the more excited everyone seems. Maybe.

John Crichton 4 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I honestly think what happened with Ledger is what'll push it over the top. What happened was certainly a horrible tragedy, but it's also great publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The viral marketing has been out of control for TDK and has already had a teaser and a full trailer released with another coming in about a week or two. Yet Indiana Jones is released in a month and there's barely been any promotion.And don't give me that its Indy there doesn't need to be promotion, because Batman is even more known than Dr. Jones.

They came up with a clever idea of using multiple actors for different parts of the film. The parts Ledger filmed will still be used, and Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law will also play the same character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I kinda remember the lack of marketting was blamed for the failiure of A.I. back in 2001. It's a bit dangerous to undermarket Indy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 No it's not. Indiana Jones is a brand name. The kind of marketing that's required to get people in the theaters on opening weekend is not a three month campaign, but a May blitz. And that's just what we'll see. Once the new trailer hits, it'll be an Indy firestorm right up until release. And it will work.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You are welcome to. That's the fun of it. I think that A.I.'s campaign was good. Certainly got a lot of interest. The fact is, audiences didn't connect. Can't be blamed on the ad campaign. And I don't think Indy will be particularly harmed by the slow campaign. It's going purely on nostalgia. You either have it or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I agree Morlock. AI had a lot of interesting things going on in the campaign, and it's kind of understandable that they didn't really resonate with the general public. I mean, I don't think the trailer had a single explosion. Indy will be just fine, it doesn't need an all out media blitz. Just get the date out there and people will show up.
