Remember the viral campaign a few days ago? The one that ended with 300 people seeing the trailer? The trailer that we posted a link to and had to pull it down due to some form of copyright infringement? Apparently 12 of the trailers handed out that day were vandalized. Check it out:

We’re sorry for those of you that missed it. Rumor is the trailer will be played with Iron Man and probably hit the web on Sunday.

New Dark Knight Posters and Viral Campaign
By Bryan Young on April 28, 2008 in Comics Movies NewsFirst, there’s little over a couple of hours to go to find out exactly what the hell is going on with the Why So Serious site. It seems as though on Saturday they posted longitude and latitude coordinates in a number of cities and said to be there with 300 friends. I can only imagine the type of mob scene this will cause.
I’ll have an update here when we find out what the fuck is going on. Everyone said the last thing would result in a trailer and they’re all saying the same thing about this one.
My bet is that it’s going to end with another phone number or something.
Either way, we’ll all find out.
Click here for all of our Dark Knight viral coverage. This has pictures and video from everything we’ve been fortunate to participate in.
In the meantime, enjoy some new Dark Knight posters that I don’t think anyone has seen yet:

Iron Man and Hulk crossover
By Bryan Young on April 28, 2008 in Comics Movies News![]() |
We’re all robot nerds. The internet is hovering in one of our windows at all times. It makes sense that we’ve all heard the rumours about a crossover of Tony Stark and Sam Jackson (as Nick Fury) in both Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk.
This, indeed, would be very cool.
But I’ve heard advanced word that the footage of Nick Fury may or may not find it’s way into this weeks release of Iron Man.
If not, Marvel might have just lucked onto one of the single biggest marketing tools for the Hulk movie.
Let me explain: Iron Man is an early May release and looks as though it’s going to be one of the highest grossing box-office moneymakers this year. (Right behind Indiana Jones and Iron Man.) Since the studios are too stupid to switch to a year-long release schedule (everyone notices that there hasn’t been much to see since Christmas) and the summer is too cluttered for every blockbuster to stay in theatres for as long as it deserves to, an August DVD release would be a smart move.
August sees the release of the new Hulk movie. And, despite being pretty good (seriously, I watched it again last night, just to double-check) the nerd community (and the community at large) was too stupid to latch on to what made it good. The box-office of a sequel is always pegged to the performance of the original (which is why crap like Spider-man 3 and X-Men the Last Stand had astounding opening weekends despite sucking balls).
But if Iron Man does as well as I’m guessing it will, and they release the DVD to incorporate the Hulk cross-over footage in time to help boost Hulk’s opening weekend, they’ll get a lot more people there and they’ll all be a lot more psyched about the film.
Marvel is notorious for releasing DVDs of this kind anyway (I mean, I’m not the only one with copies of X-men 1.5 and Spider-Man 2.5, am I?) and this would boost not only the profile of the Iron Man DVD, but also the Hulk film finding release. And since Marvel is just starting out as a studio, they better get wise to make sure that every opening weekend they get counts.
I know it seems as though that point took a while to get to, but let me know what you other robots think. Would this be a good move for Marvel?

Del Toro’s Hobbit
By Bryan Young on April 25, 2008 in Movies News![]() |
Geeks may rejoice today.
Variety has reported that Guillermo Del Toro has officially signed on to direct The Hobbit and a second movie, bridging all the goings on in Middle Earth between the Hobbit and the events in Lord of the Rings. In fact, he’s expected to move to New Zealand for the next 4 years as soon as Hellboy is finished.
Rad.
That’s all I have to say.
