Title: Expect a TEASER with STAR WARS
Post by: CainsSon on Aug 16, 2015, 05:51:13 AM
It only makes sense to me that FOX will tease ALIEN 5 and/or PROMETHEUS 2 with STAR WARS. Even if its just a short one like that initial ALIEN 3 teaser that lied to everyone.
Thoughts?

Makes sense. Prometheus' trailers lied to people, too. Damn, were those trailers good, though!

It should trick us into thinking we're seeing the opening of the SW film.   A ship flying through space or landing on a strange planet.  Then surprise us with a shot of an Alien.  Something like that.

It's waaaaay too early for a teaser. Alien 5 realistically wont be released until some time in 2017.

If Prometheus 2 is filming in January, Christmas is not too early for a teaser. And ALIEN 5 is already in pre pro... Neither is inconceivable, but then again, we will be getting a new Star Wars every year now, so... There is more for them to tac it onto.

Way too early for anything in a cinema. They will have nothing to show until March or April. Besides, teasers like the Alien 3 one are a thing of the past. We now get teaser trailers. That will be the first we see of these films.

Disney owns Star Wars and Fox only has the distribution rights to A New Hope. It's possible but not likely.

It's way too soon for anything like a teaser. I still don't even believe that Prometheus 2 production begins in January, not until Scott actually says so himself. And who even knows if this Blomkamp thing winds up actually happening.

'Star Wars' won't be the only science-fiction film being released in the near-future - and a horror film would be just as suitable (at least, when it comes to the next sequel in the 'Alien' series).

No.

Prometheus 2 doesn't even begin filming until next year, and Aliens isn't happening until after that. Be kinda hard to make a teaser with no footage.

Hasn't stopped them before.



But I don't really expect anything unless it's something like this or the Alien 3 egg teaser. Definitely no actual footage because there's been none shot.

That's from the same year AVP came out, though. Considering Blomkamp's movie seems to be at least a couple of years away, it's way too early to start building the hype-train.

Maybe you guys haven't been keeping up on current events but Blomkamp released a short Alien 5 teaser earlier today giving us a good look at his take on the classic chestburster. It's scary shit, so not for sensitive viewers.

It was when the film was announced. Literally the same day. Which I'm pretty sure wasn't the same year it was released.

Then there's also Alien 3 -



It's not a stretch to think we'll get a teaser trailer. Just don't expect it to have anything in it.

Really? you guys think you gonna see anything? LoL
In the best case you will see some cgi and the shape of an alien tale but thats it,
and if you wanna see that.... its not even worth a mention.

But that's exactly what it should be aiming for. I don't want to see graphic shots of an Alien, any more than I want to hear all the best jokes from a comedy film before it even gets released.

A teaser should do exactly what it sounds like: Tease an excellent sense of atmosphere and make you want more. Make you want to experience more of that world it's inviting you to briefly inhabit along with its various characters.

Heck, the best advert I've ever known of for 'The Exorcist' didn't even have any visuals, at all - it was for the radio!

What do we see in that Earth-themed 'Alien 3' advert? Nothing but a cracking egg. Nothing. Yet it's one of the single best adverts in the entire series' history. What's great about it is the audio and slogan, right at the very end.

Same goes for the initial adverts for 'Prometheus', which were very good. Very little was shown. It was about atmosphere.
