The first teaser for Star Trek will probably be out between december of this year & march of next year. (I have worked at a theatre for 2 1/2 years. I attempt to be as knowledgeable about these things as possible)

I think Paramount, along with other production studios, need to do better with teasers. They need to be better “Teasers”. With the internet and the hype it can create, there needs to be more trailer “tease” which would create bigger audiences for the movies they attach it to, creating a bigger revenue to involve themselves into making more movies with higher revenue. Oh, the quality of movies we could have!

This also keeps all the fans interested in seeing more “meat”.

That’s what we need in the interim… more MEAT!

OK, I’m done salivating now! ;)

Last! Seriously, I am so sick of this “First!” crap. Who cares? Post something worthwhile.

On topic, I really like both of the trailer ideas described here.

First trailer of Close Encounters was nothin’ but that road. That worked out.
First trailer of Jaws was the underwater shark’s POV through the weeds. That one did OK, too.
Doesn’t take a single frame from the actual movie to make a trailer. Just hype.

I saw “Transformers” last night also. (Giant robots tearing the crap out of each other and everything around them? Check.)

“Cloverfield” was indeed in front of the film. It looked cool; the rumored “home video” aspect of the camera work was there, but some cool effects shots really sold … whatever “it” is.

But really interesting: no name for the film. Only a release date. After the trailer, just about everybody in the audience said some variation of, “Huh?”

Of course, I knew more than they.

greetings from manila, philippines…

i just watched the movie Transformers last night (it’s being shown in asia a week before the US) and it was so freakin’ AWESOME! i can’t get enough of it that i’m actually going to watch it again today. My girlfriend, who knows absolutely nothing about transformers just fell in love with Optimus Prime! (i suppose i should be jealous.. hehe!)

anyway, there weren’t any trailers or teasers about trek xi in the movie at all.. i think the closest thing to a “teaser” is when bumblebee “talks “. i heard him saying thru his radio that he hailing starfleet and even heard uhura saying “hailing frequencies open”…

well i guess that confirms that.. i doubt that the US version won’t be any different than the one released here…no teasers, to trailers….

Actually, Anthony is right, what I described would probably qualify more as a short “trailer” rather than a “teaser.” I still think it needs to have some impact, though; a logo and a catchphrase just isn’t enough.

what Jason describes sounds like an early trailer, but not the usual teaser type. Check out the transformers teaser:

JJ wont want to show much iconic stuff in the first teaser.

Paramount released that one year before the movie. The film was shooting at the time it was released. In theory they could do the same for Trek and have some kind of teaser this xmas…I am not saying they will but that would be the earliest. They will certainly have some kind of Trailer ready by Summer 08…possibly with Indy 4 (May)
