The only 2 movies on the list I've never heard of were Caroline and Journey. No info on either one of them on imdb.com, at least. So it could be true.

I think it's stupid to do that without at least informing the theatres. When that Star Wars poster came in with the code name on the tube, the thing sat in the store-room for 2 months until I got curious enough to take it out and look at it.

Well [bs]

I'm probably gonna have to check them all. I suppose its not out of the question that we might get a trailer sent via Fed Ex at the last minute.

Here's the full list, for what it's worth:
Attached:
Sweeney Todd

Enclosed:
JJ Abrams Film
Caroline
Jumper
The Mist
Journey
The Golden Compass
21
Wanted
I Am Legend
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
In the Name of the King
U23D (on digital 3D prints only)

I hope they don't expect all of those trailers (in addition to the usual TV commercials and other stuff) to run before the movie. Judging from some of the show time listings I've seen, quite a few theaters expect to fit the feature and the trailers (not to mention clearing the auditorium and filling it with new customers) within 2 hours and 30 minutes. Is that possible? It looks to me like at least a few trailers will have to be left out of the pack.

Journey is also known as Journey 3D as well as Journey to the Center of the Earth, it's a remake from New Line Cinema starring Brendan Frasier. The 3D trailer bills the movie as "the first live action digital 3D movie."

They don't. Every venue (or the parent company thereof) is free to pick and choose from the pack. The only one you're really "expected" to run is the attachment, but even that is cut off in a lot of places, especially if they don't plan to play the movie.

From the review of the trailer for "Cloverfield" that I read over at Aintitcool.com there is a big monster and a bunch of little ones. I'm putting my money on the fact that its not another Godzilla movie. I do like the whole using "home movies" aspect of the film. I know I can't wait to see it tomorrow night.

Sand Dogs

"Sand Dog" was the code name for the first Revenge of the Sith trailer. On the DTS disks it was called "Sand Dog Nostalgia." Since almost everyone (including a bunch of people here) was thrown off by that, the second trailer's code name ("Bosco") was left off of the trailer itself, although it can be found on the DTS trailer disks from that time.

The first Attack of the Clones trailer, which was on Monsters Inc. was called "Breathing." I'm not sure if you consider that a code name or not. The second and third trailers for the Attack of the Clones were called "Black Eyes A" and "Black Eyes B." "Black Eyes" also appeared on the heads and tails of some of the AOTC prints, along with "Daddy Long Legs" on other AOTC prints.

Talk about a walk down memory lane. Thanks, Mark. OK, I do remember a few code-named trailers...I just didn't remember remembering them!

Journey is actually Journey to the center of the earth in 3-D that stars Brandon Fraser.

Woops I see bobby just referred to what Journey ment. That's what I get for speed reading.

Well, no luck. I dug through everything hoping they might have thrown it in last minute.

So anyone know WHEN the trailer will be released?

After thinking about it today while building up films. My guess is around Christmas and Dreamworks has Sweeney Todd coming out. Now I don't know if Indiana Jones is going to be Dreamworks but thats my guess.

If they are smart, they'll get one thrown in with National Treasure:Book of Secrets. The two films are after the exact same audience.

It wouldn't suprise me if it doesn't show up until Cloverfield opens in mid January. It could show up on Sweeney Todd since Paramount owns Dreamworks.
