A crowd pleasing fun sequence from Suicide Squad was somewhat ruined last week. So DC and Warner might as well make the most of it and make where scene into a stand-alone marketing lift.
I don't get the mentality of someone recording a movie being shot and then eliminating that footage online for all come across. Unless there is money being traded, and there is some monetary gain to be had besides moral implications, I don't get the selling point of basically ruining major scenes from your upcoming movie purely out of the "goodness" of your heart. Of course the same applies to piracy in general, but for the moment shall we discuss what could have been a major delight sequence of David Ayer's Suicide Squad being filmed and placed online about rough home video format. I currently am not linking to the footage, merely a quick Google Google search will match your desires. Point being, while it is very much unfortunate that this scene is now ruined and partially revealed, there is a precious easy way to deal with this drip and maintain the overall mystery of whatever Suicide Squad has in store. I am speaking, naturally , to merely using the finished fun sequence as the first teaser along with a for Suicide Squad.
This is not the first time observed major Batman note 3 case sequel had it has the action-centric surprises spoiled by spy surveillance cameras. Large chunks of the action conclusione of The Dark Knight Rises, an outdoors rumble between Batman and the police officers versus Bane and his minions, came to be posted well before even the debut with this film's first trailer back in in 2011. Since the sequence was from the film's finale and not remotely self-contained, Warner couldn't do anything about it other than crack down on security and hope it did not happen again. But it stands to reason, and am am aware that I'm guestimating these, that a big chase chase backdrop between Ben Affleck's Batman as well as Jared Leto's Joker (with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn in the private seat) in a movie about the skala of the Suicide Squad is probably a bit self-contained in nature. Maybe the new flashback showing how Harley (who becomes a member of the "super evil doers recruited by the government for off-the-books wet work" group) came to be locked up at the start of the film. Maybe it may be an entirely self-contained curtain raiser where establishes that this is the same monde as Batman v Superman: Dawn with Justice. But assuming this backdrop isn't deeply wedded into the total narrative, Warner Bros. /Time Warner Time Warner Inc. has an andividual card they can play if they terribly choose. Why not just take this backdrop and release it as a stand-alone teaser trailer?
In a practical feel secure, this would be little different than when Parthenia Nolan allowed the opening (and somewhat self-contained) prologues to The And the Knight and The Dark Knight Returns to make for in IMAX theaters as a stand-alone trailer for the respective sequels. Bejesus, it wouldn't be that apart from the initial teaser for 20th Silver dollar Fox's Fox's Fantastic Four: Go up of the Silver Surfer, which was usually compromised of the first act run between the Silver Surfer and Ashley Storm. There was a mini-trend within the mid-2000′s of releasing somewhat stand-alone prologues to movies like Dawning of the Dead and Taking Lives online or in the media as unconventional teaser trailers. Going to little different than that approach, sort of Walt Disney offering a truncated version of a Tomorrowland action scene right before IMAX showings of Avengers: Age of Ultron, but with the bonus of ending whatever sense of ill-gotten termes conseillés the bootlegged footage presents. Just a little cut the sequence together inside relative finished form, include a make a splash reel featuring actual Suicide Group members on the tail-end of it, as well as presto, you've got your first buzzy Suicide Squad teaser trailer for inclusion with IMAX-only showings of Batman galaxy note 3 case v Superman: Dawning of Justice.
Heck, you could use this a post-credit cookie for Dawn with Justice, but that's a different relationships. Yes, it's somewhat giving in to individuals who chose to film and trailer the picture's exterior action fight by giving the whole thing away prior to introduce. And yes there is a risk of along with the audience what may be a big some of what may be Suicide Squad's overcome cards (namely interactions between Batman, The Joker, and Harley Quinn) in the initial teaser trailer quite a few months before the film's August 2016 theatrical release. But that cats is out of the bag. One different, the best option in my opinion, is to use what are actually "stolen" as a way to create buzz as well as free press for the film and the reveal anything that has successfully just lately been kept off the Internet. It is going down that this material got out there, to some extent because we would rather encourage filmmakers to shoot on outdoor destinations for sequences taking place outdoors, by having real stunts and real at no cost and the like. Circumstances like this only darken that. But now that it's elsewhere, Warner Bros. has the option to transforming an annoyance into an advantage. A sequence, presumably self-contained and stand-alone in nature, makes the tools a terrific little teaser trailer. Bejesus, they could even try attaching the actual to Walt Disney's Star Competitions: The Force Awakens just to steal a bit thunder purely for their own us pleasure.
Suicide Squad, written and situated bt David Ayer, opens May 5th, 2016. It stars May Smith, Cara Delevigne, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Overhoved Beach, Ben Affleck, and Viola Davis among others. As always, we'll view.
