No Star Trek at Comic-Con? Yeah, because marketing too early will probably hurt the franchise. That little known movie THE DARK KNIGHT hyped thier movie a year early and I wonder how that will do.

And the last Trek movies did soooo well at the box office.

Maybe the movie sucks root and they don’t want to show it?

Please read this New York Times article if you doubt the importance and impact of Comic Con:

Just because you haven’t been or don’t know about it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter. 125,000 attended last year; 140,000 are expected this year.

UHHH…trekweb.com is reporting that they just placed a huge Star Trek Poster next to the Comic Con poster on the building they are having the convention in……

Looks like we will get some big Trek news.

[...] presence at Comic-Con took another turn this week. Trekmovie.com checked with its many sources, and seems awfully certain that Paramount will not be hosting a big panel to show off Star Trek and its many other properties. [...]

Simon Pegg will also be there, promoting the Region 1 release of Spaced on DVD.

Hmm, I can’t decide whether to go to ComicCon now or not. I was only going for any Trek tidbits from panels.

“he is not Dissing Iron Man with his comments .”

Never said he was. I am saying one Con doesn’t make or break a film… Iron Man or Star Trek.

Comic Con got the buzz Started for Iron Man ..
And I think part of the point Vic is making is Paramount is saying
its too far out to start promoting the film but they promoted Iron Man a year before its release and it helped the film.
oh and by the way Vic runs An Iron Man website .
He is a HUGE Iron man fan .
he is not Dissing Iron Man with his comments .
I never met a bigger Iron Man fan then Vic !

“This is a stupid, stupid decision.”

_ Sorry, I have to disagree. The forest is far bigger than the few trees you are seeing.

Most of the public doesn’t know about or care about Comic Con. And IMO, most Trek Fans are the same. I love Trek, but was unaware of that Con until last year and it’s too far away to attend. The tidbits of knowledge that resulted were nice, but not overwhelming. I didn’t see and drool for a year because IronMan was promoted at the Con.
This isn’t stupid..just too early.
