trailer on november 3?

There is no guarantee or confirmation that there will be a new trailer on November 3rd. It's all speculation. People shouldn't be upset if we don't have a new teaser by then when it's the fans that started this rumor themselves.

I wouldn't put any money on that date. The only time I'm positive they'll have trailers showing is during Superbowl weekend. Everything up until then is mere speculation in my opinion. Even though the Superbowl idea is also mere speculation, it'd just be smart on Legendary and Warner Bros. part to do that. While we're still about 8 or 7 months away from release date by the time Nov. 3 comes along, and in my opinion, it's still a bit too early to just start throwing trailers out. Even if they have one or two made. Although they weren't critical successes, Cloverfield and the '98 Godzilla did pretty good financially speaking, and most of the people who watched the movies were hoping to see whether or not they were right about their speculations. Godzilla 2014 has been in post production for only a few months now. It's no where near completed in terms of editing, and fixing issues with certain things with the editing or special effects. If they do release anything on November 3rd, it'll be either the 2012 test footage or 2013 edited version of the 2012 footage. But I don't think they'll have an official trailer release anytime soon.

^This. Although I'm sure much of the movie is edited, post-production refinements and visual effects take a long time to complete. There's definitely footage to show off, but does it look good enough to pile in a trailer? Who knows... Regardless I wouldn't expect a new trailer on November 3rd. Or November 6th when [i]Thor 2[/i] comes out. Hell, I'd bank more money that it would be with the next [i]Hobbit[/i] film, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's not there either. I hope though.

xD I think that's what I said. xD I might have worded it wrong. I said that the movie is far from completion in terms of editing and shit as such not everything would look as good as the final product and may even look a bit buggy. Hell, I even said that I wouldn't really bet on anything before Superbowl weekend. lol Were you just basically just recapping everything I said in a nice, little two paragraph post? lmao

Since Legendary appears to be under the impression if you can't make it to Comic Con then you get nothing I wouldn't be too surprised if the wait wasn't longer.

Ah, so there going the Willy Wonka route, eh? [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ggwthpVG1ruft91o1_250.gif[/img]

I was more or less agreeing with you-- sort of. You said it was "nowhere near complete" in terms of editing, which probably isn't true, but the post refinement comments probably are. And you made no mention of [i]Thor 2[/i] or [i]The Hobbit[/i]. I do however believe we'll see it before the super bowl.

Post-production in filming is the easiest part of the whole process. Pre-production is the most important since the whole process of everything after depends on it, and production is the hardest part because it's all planning and doing. But editing, special effects, and so on isn't that hard to get done in comparison. Especially since they can edit and add special effects WHILE they're still filming. For example, the new trailer they showed this year at Comic Con with the airport and "Muto" was all footage from the actual film. It was edited, cut, and had special effects in it like the film was already done even though Gareth said they'd barely finished filming the day before. Meaning that they did special effects and editing during and after filming; and that was around 3 months ago. Trust me, they can and WILL have a perfect trailer ready by Nov. 3rd. It all depends on what Legendary and Warner Bros. believe would be the best time to advertise the film. Thor 2 and the Hobbit are the perfect films to do this since Thor 2 and the Hobbit 2 are already predicted to be a huge budget success with both normal movie-goers and total nerds going to see both. We're talking millions of people going to see these movies. No film before May 16th 2014 (Godzilla 2014's release date) will be this successful financially; not the 300 prequel, not the Seventh Son, nothing. Legendary WILL release the trailer on one of these two movies. It's commone knowledge and a no-brainer for a film company. Trust me. I'll give everyone 5 bucks if the trailer doesn't come on the Hobbit or Thor.

Calling any part of filmmaking "the easiest part" is a very, very bold statement, but if we have to label it as such I disagree completely that it's the "easiest part". If anything pre-production is easier simply because all the planning, story boarding, designs, location scouting, casting...etc... is done. It's all about making sure production and post-production go smoothly. It's the most important part in order to make sure the production runs well, agreed, but it's fairly stress free in comparison to the editors, sound design team, foly, CG, practical, visual, composite and other effects driven teams that have to complete their jobs in order for the cut to be finished. Just because parts of a film can be cut and worked on in post while the movie is being shot doesn't make their job any easier.

For example, even with the Comic-Con footage, the shots were unfinished. The halo jump did feature the red smoke and the airport attack used incomplete CGI. No doubt that footage was some of the most complete, but that's not saying a whole lot. There's an entire cut of a film that needs to refine the visual effects, color correction and various aspects of sound. This process will go on probably until March at the latest. That's not to say there isn't usable footage, but I wouldn't be surprised if the first official teaser doesn't reveal much effects-wise. [i]Thor 2 and the Hobbit are the perfect films to do this since Thor 2 and the Hobbit 2 are already predicted to be a huge budget success with both normal movie-goers and total nerds going to see both.

I'll give everyone 5 bucks if the trailer doesn't come on the Hobbit or Thor.[/i] I agree [i]The Hobbit[/i] is most likely, but I'm not going to assume what the marketing team analysts have reviewed and rest easy that it's when we'll see something. A Godzilla trailer appearing appearing in front of [i]The Hobbit[/i], or not, wouldn't surprise me either way. But I'm fairly positive we won't be getting one on November 3rd. On another topic, I do think [i]The Amazing Spider-Man 2[/i] (which also doesn't have a trailer yet) coming out the week before [i]Godzilla[/i] will be as successful financially. And [i]Seventh Son[/i] was pushed to November 2014, so no worries waiting on that one.

Regardless of what most of us thought about the movie itself in November of 1998 the first trailer for Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace was released and it looked great and that film was released in May of 1999. I have faith that a very polished trailer can and will be released this November. Although I doubt Nov. 3rd will be the date. Good things our coming guys it will not be long now.

I wait all the news with a grain of salt

I wish I could be as optimistic as you guys about November but, we all know WB is marketing this movie. Not Legendary. And with the way the marketed Pacific Rim, I am going to think mid April we will see our first commercial . Maybe a trailer in March at the earliest.

I think we will have trailer by November 3, 2013. If I were them, I wouldn't miss the November 3, 1954 date (this was when Godzilla was first made). By then, they'd have a better and even more interesting trailer than the leaked Comic Con one. Of course, I also expect a trailer during the Super Bowl.
