Hopes for VDT....for people anticipating the release on DECEMBER 10 2010

no matter how good or bad this movie dose i dont think it will hurt the production of any further narnia books into movies....i last read somewhere that they Will be making all of the books into movies in the order they were published, hopfuly that is correct and nothing changes....but i do believe that Narnia has a strong enough fan base that they will go ahead with all of them

True, but look at Alice in Wonderland... it's doing well, but not Avatar numbers. And Avatar had been filmed in 3-D. VoDt would ahve to be converetd and many time's it tends to be rather jarring.

PS, I like your title for Avatar in your siggy. It's so true!

They WERE talking about putting in 3D a while ago, though...I dunno what happened with that :confused:

As for the competition, I was getting the Green Hornet confused with the Green Lantern. If it was GL, then we WOULD have a problem...

As for Tron, I admit, I actually want to see that :eek: But probably only once or twice. I fully intend on watching VDT at least 4 times, like I did with PC. (I'm not kidding)

PS: Thanks. I didn't really like the movie, obviously :p Too political and the plot was...well, yeah

We have to remember though, that although fanbase may be strong, the franchise is also somewhat at the mercy of the film studio. If the film flops (which I'm sure it won't), then Fox may see no reason to keep supporting the series and could drop it, which would leave Walden searching for another partner studio yet again and/or without sufficient funding. Studios understand money. Big money = we keep this, b/c the next film will make more money. It's annoying, but that's how it works.

Chances are, though, that's not going to happen. But VDT needs to break the $200 million dollar limit in the states b/c by today's standards that's now just "average" for a big film like that (stupid, again, I know. I hate price inflation)
 
actualy thats true...i hadn't thought of it that way but that is the reason disney dropped their partnership, because PC was such a flop and didn't make expectations in box office takings ( wich in my oppinion could of been avoided by actualy making a movie that was even a bit like the book ) but new partners now and i think FOX 2000 will do a good job...from what i have read and heard of the movie so far it sounds pretty good so far with only a few changes to the book. we shall see... and yeah i intend on seeing it around 4 or 5 times...i saw LWW 6 times
 
this could be a bad thing and a good thing.....myself i don't thing it would be much good in 3D as it will be converted to 3D...it wasn't shot in 3D....but i guess we can only wait and see what comes of it.....i will go and see the movie in both 3D and 2D to see what 3D adds to it if anything....

The good thing is, people won't have to see it in 3D if they don't want to. Personally, I'm excited. I LOVE 3D movies, so the franchise is going to get a heck of a lot of money from my pocket come December :p And I think it will add to the movie...I'm just thinking of certain scenes right now that would look awesome in 3D...like if they have shots of Eustace flying as a dragon--now THAT would be AMAZING.

well thats true.... another scene that will look good is when they go into the picture frame......... ( i just hope they use the same 3D as they used for Avatar and Alice in Wonder Land, not the colored lenses ) all the same i am excited for it too, no use being pessimistic about it till its been out and we see the actual result..... come on December
 
If it wasn't shot in 3D though, it won't have any of those cool shots that make 3D fun, like things flying out of the screen at you. I am kind of disappointed. :( I am afraid it will come off like a cheap deal where they just went 3D because everyone else is doing it.
 
Well we have to except it as the future. EVERY movie has come out in 3D.
But it really doesn't do anything. All it does is make the screen a little closer.I saw AVATAR in 3D and that's all it did. IF you want to be SOOOOO close to the screen,just go sit in front row!
I hate that,so when I direct I'm paying some fangirl to let me have her seat up top and she can sit by Ben at my premiers:D
 
I hope VODT will do better even though its in 3D because its a sailing adventure and those usually do well. I'm not that worried about it being in 3D; my hopes (and this is probably what will happen too) is that our little theater near where I live will have VODT in regular 2D and Tinsletown will have it in 3D, so I can see it both ways.:D
 
yah, i hope it will be awesome in 3d. i just sort of wish the producers didn't feel like they have to put it in 3d to compete ... i had hoped it would be competitive because of its brilliance rather than little promotional tricks like 3d.

Why not have brilliance and promotional tricks? Seems to me that could make it twice as good. It honestly is a competition and so it doesn't bother me personally if they do what the other films are doing and then some. I think it will make it better. 3D may just be a fad or it may be the future of films. At any rate it's what's popular NOW and Dec is not that far away from now so my guess is it will still be popular.

Right. We are currently in the dulldrums of the movie year which is January till April. Honestly... why would they think of putting a VoDT trailer with say the lastest adpatation of a Nicholas Spark's novel? Something like VODT will fare a bit better if they place the teaser and the trailer with a big money maker. I expect a first teaser to possibly be attached to Iron Man 2 ( the first major tent-pole blockbuster of the summer) with the official trailer perhaps with Toy Story 3. But that's just my guess.

Then again.. Tron Legacy and Toy Story 3 already had not only their teasers, but their official trailers... but that's Disney for you. Say what you want about the earlier Narnia films... Disney is the best when it comes to marketing alone.
 
Well, Narnia is considered a fantasy. You would think they would've put trailers with Percy Jackson, or wait! Clash of the Titans?

yes, it would make sense to do that but those movies have come out earlier in the year....i would assume teasers and trailers would come out half way through the year considering it is a December release..but then again they have brought out other teasers ages in advance

I would have thought so too.

I'll admit Clash would have been appropriate, not just for the mythic fanatsy part but the Liam Neeson connection. I have seen that done where if an actor is starring in a current film, they'd plug a trailer for an upcoming film starring that actor.
