Trailer Woes

For weeks the rumor mill was stirring over news that the much anticipated Half Blood Prince trailer would be in the Prince Caspian movie. Alas, it was not. All signs pointed that way after the week ended with no confirmation from Warner Brothers, not to mention the millions of fans who purchased tickets to see Prince Caspian on its first day of release, only to be disappointed because they couldn't catch the first glance of the new Harry Potter movie.

Many have began to speculate what summer movie, if any, will feature the movie trailer. The new Indiana Jones film, which hits theatres tomorrow, seems to be the obvious guess among Potter fans; however, I disagree. Trailers are usually paired with films that are similar to the movie being promoted. Though I can understand why many would guess the new Indy movie, it just doesn’t fit with the tone of Harry Potter. My guess is that it will be released with Kung Fu Panda on June 6. It is a great family film, which, after all, is the category that Harry Potter films reign over. Not only does the genre fit, but it is evident that Warner Brothers usually sticks to this type of marketing. If you remember, the Order of the Phoenix trailer was released with Happy Feet back in 2006.

Coincidentally, on the day the trailer was supposed to be released, a mysterious new photo emerged from the Half Blood Prince movie. (This is probably from the movie since Harry is shown wearing the same outfit he was in previously released photos). It is a photo of Harry looking into a drawer. How enigmatic?

What part of the movie is it in? Where is he? What is looking for? So many questions…and only one photo to answer it all! To bad we don’t have any more details, LIKE THE KIND THAT WOULD APPEAR IN A TRAILER!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I’m upset. I was really looking forward the trailer.

And I’m so sick of these photos being leaked! This photo says ABSOLUTELY nothing! Wow, he’s looking into a drawer! So what! It’s probably from a scene that’s going to get cut from the film anyway! I mean, it's great that we are getting shots of the new movie, but it's not enough. Just give us what we want! Release the trailer, please!!!!!
