There Is A "Zero Percent Chance" That The GOTG Comic-Con Trailer Will Be Released

There Is A "Zero Percent Chance" That The GOTG Comic-Con Trailer Will Be Released

Upsetting news indeed, but we all kind of expected this. It seems as though the trailer shown at the San Diego Comic-Con for Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy will officially NOT be released on-line, says director James Gunn.

Following the second screening at D23, fans rushed to pressure Disney and director James Gunn to release the footage online for the people who sadly weren't able to attend and see for themselves. Both have said it wasn't going to happen. A couple of days later, though, the footage (or at least a few seconds of it) had found it's way online. After many fans geeking-out over the trailer, many fans and even some reporters and entertainment industry insiders thought that with suck critical acclaim, it would push the studio into releasing the teaser.

After all, the logic goes, you don’t want fans who might be on the fence to see something substandard and decide against going to the movie. Well, that’s just what Marvel Studios and James Gunn think, only not in a way that will help broaden the audience for the preliminary thirty-second piece.

When asked what the odds are of the trailer being officially released, Gunn said, Zero percent chance, sorry!. He goes on to say, I know a lot of you have seen the shaky camera footage, but it was made after 12 days if shooting and isn’t a true reflection of the awesomeness we’re trying to create for you.”

This isn't really a shock, as very rarely do Comic-Con trailers get officially released, especially when the effects aren't even finished! What do you think? How do you feel about this, and when do you think the first teaser trailer will be released?

understandable. If I was making a film I wouldn't want unpolished footage to spread across the interwebs. Sure it'd make fans happy, but it could also put some negative buzz on the film if it looks sloppy outside the fanbase.

Look how poorly Green Lantern's first trailer was and how much flack they got for it. It wasn't even rushed out, but a poor trailer can lead to negative buzz which can kill a great movie.

I kinda respect that, though. He said it himself, it was only a couple weeks of filming. The footage is no where as close as close as great as it should be. I would rather have something awesome and satisfying than unfinished footage just to tease us. Plus, I'm pretty sure half the internet saw the leaked footage. Let them take their time on this movie. Don't rush them.

First teaser trailer should come out with Thor: The Dark World. Captain America Winter Solider trailer should come late September, maybe earlier.

this is kinda stupid. We all know that sooner or later the leaked footage will find it's way online (GOTG,X-Men,TAS)in some low res, crappy quality.
Why not relase the same footage (minus the unfinished effects) like a month later just to get the fans even more excited (especially the fans who were not participating at Comic Con). I can understand GOTG (12 days of shooting) but TAS, X-Men, Captain America ? Or maybe they just waiting for November to relase all of the teaser trailers with THOR 2 ?

Very understandable. That said, I'm very glad the comic con footage leaked. ;P

Can't wait to see the actual full HD footage! That is going to be beyond epic, or awesome it's going to be:

@ezio

that would make sense. I think we could see TAS and Captain America teasers with Thor 2. I can't find (becasue i'm kind of lazy :) the proper big movie premiere in January thought. Maybe X Men and GOTG teasers with Hobbit, part duo ?

jerryblake- you know, i think youre right, the hobbit would be a great time to show the first trailer cause a lot of people will go see it and it will make shitloads of money, hopefully the theaters will show the trailer before the movie if its released then because when i went to watch elysium last weekend, they did not show the second thor trailer, the showed the first one.

i hope this movie succeeds, it may not make iron man but i just want it too be successful, i think imo, marvel studios movies no matter if you like them or not ,are always entertaining movies and people go to see it to escape and at the end of the day, movies are meant for entertainment and i think thor 2, cap 2 and guardians will be those

If it looks that good so far and they want to improve on it. They are headed in the right direction for the 3rd most anticipated movie of my life. 1. Avengers 2. The Dark Knight 3. Guardians of the MuthaF**kin Galaxy

That's fine with me. I'm assuming they want to improve on the trailer and try and sell it to a broader audience. People are going to love Rocket Raccoon.

The only thing i care about the most is who is voicing Rocket Raccoon!!!

i think some people might not like guardians because the tone feels light and doesnt take itself too seriously and they might think its stupid and silly and i have heard that a very minor group of people think the comedy feels forced ,the whole Pratt giving the middle finger and the last scene where they are lined up and the a -holes lines,some people didnt think that was funny and said it was cringeworthy, it might be up to peoples taste in humor which is a big reason iron man 3 had mixed reaction because the mandarin twist was played for a joke(even though i thought the twist brought up some neat ideas and concepts) but ultimately was a joke and a lot people didnt like it because the humor of the movie was not broad but that it had a specific sense of humor and alot of people who did not like the twist didnt like the films sense of humor and it felt forced to them i hope that does not happen to guardians, but james gunn had said this movie is intended for a broader audience so lets hope it pans out(fingers crossed)
