Can't see anything on it at the moment Vamp. But since he's been doing a World Tour for this film, it could still happen.

The first screening for the movie at the festival is Nov 15.

Yes, apparently World Tour includes Mexico, who knew? Can I just say that their film festival marketing team needs to do a better job. This one came out of left field.

Yeah, the hair/product situation is getting a bit untidy, but please note the presence of black boots instead of white sneakers! :p

Def better choice on the shoes, Yay.I'm surprised he's not wearing a scarf or an overcoat since he doesn't know how to dress for the weather. I will say, though, he's very passionate about this movie since he's traveling all over to promote it.


Thanks, Santress! If it wasn't for you, ninja Skars could have slunk in and out of Mexico and we would never have known.

I read this article last week about WB and the lousy year they've had and how their issues are essentially marketing related for this year's slate. Didn't talk about Tarzan specifically, but about upcoming "big" movies (Batman/Superman) and HP new movie. Hopefully they'll learn something about how to market upcoming movies in 2016. If anyone is interested in reading it:

Star Wars has had the best marketing this year, for my money. Very paced trailers, absolutely no sense of hurry whatsoever, then a flurry of trailers about 6 weeks out from it's premiere date.

Of course, Star Wars has a massive built-in audience spanning right across the generations - but they've done it really well IMO.

Batman - I've seen articles all over the place where it says WB has concerns about Affleck - not just his personal life but that's he's being seen all over LA looking like he had a moob transplant - not exactly inspiring. I have about zero interest in the WB Batman vs Superman. The first film with Henry Cavill was like "Superman goes Emo". Bale redefined Batman and he's the top shelf for me now.

I hope the same can be said for Alex, that this Tarzan is a smart reboot of the character and story.

I'm interested to to see how they handle the marketing for Tarzan. Alex and Margot (depending on her PR schedule for Suicide Squad) and maybe Christophe and Samuel L Jackson are really going to have to pound the PR junket trail for it.

I'd like to see a reel like they did with Jobs and Spectre, where the actors talk about filming, character etc.

I'm wondering if the cast will be doing WonderCon in LA in March. You can follow any announcements on Insta https://instagram.com/wondercon (well I can't, I'm not on the Gram)

Not that any of us could have gone, but it would have been nice knowing that he was going to be there before he actually showed up.
I do wonder why he's still promoting it though? It's out of theaters. I know that he loves the movie, but I do wonder why Sony Classics is still doing the festival circuit with this one.

The one off-putting thing about SW marketing is that is over saturating the merchandising aspect of it, to the point that I'm sick of it. Do we really need Darth Vader showerheads?

The actual movie promotion part has been on point, though.

I see this but wonder ho much the average movie goer is actually paying attention to Affleck's personal life. They might pay attention to how he looks in the movie, but I'm not sure about the other stuff.

The funny thing about WB is that coming into the early part of 2015 they were doing great: The Hobbit, American Sniper, etc. American Sniper's marketing campaign was getting kudos. Now, everything thing they touch sucks, apparently.

I think some of the articles on WB's bad year are piling on, and some are more nuanced:

The structural problem for Warner is that its biggest franchise hits, including “Harry Potter” and “Lord of the Rings,” have ended. DC Comics heavyweights like Batman and Superman aren’t around this year, either. This holiday season will be the first in three years that Warner Bros. will enter without one of Peter Jackson‘s Tolkien tales to dominate the box office

As most veterans in Hollywood know, the studio business is cyclical. And next year the studio’s slate is much more encouraging.

But two of its biggest-budget entries, “Tarzan” and “Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur,” are based on properties that have more in common with “The Man From U.N.C.L.E” than Superman in terms of familiarity to young audiences.

A similar article from the LA Times:

http://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...bros.-our-brand-is-crisis-20151101-story.html

We've said this since Tarzan first got mentioned three years ago: They're going to have be very good at marketing this, since while the name Tarzan is familiar, the familiarity isn't with the more gritty/adventure of the books, but cheesy yodeling and loincloths. That's not going to bring in the big money.

I've thought Wonder Con would be an excellent venue, especially as Comic Con will be after the release. It'll be a good beginning to the major promotional push that'll probably start happening around May. Wonder Con will be at the end of March, and he'll probably be in production with Mute, but I can't imagine him not being given a couple of days off to promote a possible tentpole in which he's the lead.​

I know from one of our actors who is currently doing the festival circuit with his short film that you have to do it to be eligible to enter for the Oscars. You have to have entered a certain amount of festivals to be eligible. His latest entry is Rio which is equally off the map as Los Cabos. Maybe that's why they're doing it.

Yep. Agree. They're trying for an Oscar nom.

I do think it's that they're pushing for awards, but in DOATG's case I don't think it's for eligibility, since I think they've long met that criteria for feature length films. If it were a short film/documentary, etc. it would be a different case, from what I can see.

7. FESTIVAL RELEASES ARE ALSO OKAY

A movie’s inclusion in a film festival lineup doesn’t have much bearing on its Academy Award eligibility when it comes to the Best Picture race. It will, however, prove substantial in the contention of short features and documentary shorts, wherein a film can usurp an otherwise disqualifying lack of commercial run if it has won a prize at a qualifying competitive festival.
