MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 1:22 PMGuys i am a massive massive Godzilla fan but i am starting to lose interest because of legendary's lack of marketing, only 90 days left, its now or never. like some of you pointed out Godzilla wont perform very well with out proper marketing, legendary thinks everyone likes Godzilla.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 2:28 PMI know how you feel, its extremely frustrating.
As I said on another post, even Cloverfield had better marketing when it came out in 2008. I remember the trailer playing repeatedly at different movies, Hell! In my opinion Cloverfield's Viral Marketing campaign is one of the most clever I've seen, they never revealed the monster but I'm sure as hell I remember that viral marketing didn't appealed only to fans but to everyone interested in the film, it was creepy and very mysterious. I also saw lots of Cloverfield ads and posters (some of these were REALLY HUGE!) at several movie theaters MONTHS BEFORE THE MOVIE CAME OUT. And even though not everyone outside of the Kaiju fans knew what the film was about, many were interested in it because of all the enigmatic imagery.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 3:32 PM1) Godzilla is not as much of a money maker as you think he is 2) that lebo is irrelevent

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 3:34 PMfine if you don't have faith in legendary then don't watch the movie. also is the movie going to be released tomorrow or next week or next month, no it is relased 3 months, which is still a while.

MemberBaragonFeb-14-2014 3:34 PMchill out for a second there frozen besides once the full length official trailer is released ill bet you more and more people will be talking about it and if he is not a money maker then why did godzilla(zilla) 1998 perform so good?

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 4:49 PMHave patience, the marketing is on its way, just be happy this movie loyal to the original Godzilla, unlike that piece of shit TriStar made 15 years ago.

godzillafan1995
MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 5:03 PMthat reminds me, just think the last big bdget american godzilla movie was 15 years ago, final wars was relased 10 years ago, now i feel old.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 5:21 PMI agree its getting boring and im losing interest fast. Rather just download the movie at this point, not worth giving 10$ to WB/Legendary. Doesn't seem like they care so why should I.

AdminGodzillaFeb-14-2014 7:04 PMGood lord some of you people need to learn patience...

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 7:55 PMI have none, especially when they teased the movie forever and a day ago. Cloverfield was one of the best marketed movies ive ever seen. They need to call up JJ Abrams and take a page from his book. They teased cloverfield during the Transformers movie which was more than a year before it came out. Then continuously gave you small tidbits to keep guessing and trying to figure it out. Never revealed the monster or plot points but kept you wanting more, building buzz. So as far as Godzilla's one teaser trailer 5 months before it comes out isnt exciting. Its a shame.
Im not trying to start a fight, i just understand where peoples frustration comes from.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2014 8:23 PMGodzillafan1995@ Excuse me I don't mean to butt in but who are you to tell people to not watch this movie?
Looks like we have a mexican stand off here. Ok everybody just please, weopons down, and lets all take a chill pill for a moment (or a breath mint cause of my atomic breath). We all know legendary's marketing canpain is the freaking devil. But theres no need to start conflict over that. No matter how much we bitch about it, theres nothing we can do to stop it or change legendaries or warners bros mind about the plan that they are going for. To be honest I don't think its Gareth Edwards or Legendary's fault. I'm going to put the blame on warners bros since they are in charge of advertisement for this movie.

G. H. (Gman)
AdminGodzillaFeb-14-2014 11:23 PMLegendary's team is in charge of the marketing. WB is just footing part of the bill. (Likely 25% of the marketing, much like they did with the movie.) And for those of you thinking this is the same marketing team as Pacific Rim, you're wrong. The people in charge of Pacific Rim's marketing plan were let go (fired) from Legenday Pictures late last year.
And I don't believe for a second anyone here has "lost interest" because they feel so self-entitled to another trailer. All of you will be there opening weekend whether you like the marketing or not.
As far as I can tell, Legendary's marketing is working. Look at all of you: You're chomping at the bit for this movie and whining and complaining because another trailer isn't out yet.
Marketing is also about timing, not how early you get it out. The Godzilla trailer and spots need to come at a time when it won't be overshadowed by other movies coming out. You really think anyone is going to give a damn about Godzilla TV spots before Spider-Man 2 comes out? After Spider-Man arrives in theaters I expect to see a lot of TV spots because the hype for that movie will have died down and the next big thing, two weeks later, will be Godzilla.
The only people that are to blame right now is yourselves for wanting/expecting something new every other day. Marketing blitzes don't work like they did in 1998 folks. Those days are over. What you should be more concerned about isn't when they're going to release the marketing material, but how. "How" is far more important and impressionable than "when", which is subjected to other studio's movie schedules.
