One of my fondest memories is traveling 40 miles to a theatre that was selected to play the trailer for The Phantom Menace before Meet Joe Black. This was in the days where downloading a good looking trailer the size of a postage stamp took all night, so that 40 minute drive up to the capitol city was no skin off my nose.
They played the trailer before and after Meet Joe Black and the group of people I went with spent the entire time during the film discussing Star Wars and how mind blowing the trailer was. (“>You can watch it here. Say whatever you want about The Phantom Menace (quietly, please) this trailer was incredible.)
I know some people were disappointed, both in the trailer and the film, but for me it delivered with flying colors. It continues to do so, as well.
Another film I couldn’t care less about will be premiering the trailer for the 3D version of The Phantom Menace and I’ll be there to see it. It doesn’t hurt that my kids want to see it, but I’ve spent since Aliens Vs. Predator doing my best to avoid the crap Paul W.S. Anderson directs. In any case, there it is. The Three Musketeers hits theatres October 21st.
We also have this new poster for the film and it highlights all the things we love about the film. And with Darth Maul returning from the dead on The Clone Wars soon after the February release date of this re-release, it makes a lot of sense to get him out in the open.
