Author Topic: WTC: Does It Have To Just Disappear From Everything? Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-04-2002 07:47 AM                        Re: Spiderman trailers ..... We had the cool teaser with the chopper tangled up in a web between the two towers, but after everything happened it was pulled, and replaced with the trailer we are currently playing (although I must say I don't mind that wet t-shirt ) .... does this mean they took that scene out of the movie?  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 05-04-2002 12:59 PM                        I get the impression that that scene was never really "in" the movie. In the trailer, it seemed as if it was just a teaser, like the dancing midgets in the Austin Powers 3 trailer. Either way though, it wasn't in the final film.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-04-2002 01:22 PM                     Awe, you mean the dancing midgets aren't actually in Austin 3? ------------------ This one time, at Projection Camp, I stuck a xenon bulb....  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-04-2002 09:01 PM                     The twin towers are on view at the end of Woody Allen's HOLLYWOOD ENDING, a lot better film than the critical drubbing it has received.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 05-05-2002 01:15 AM                     The mildly amusing thing that comes to my mind is that everyone, Hollywood especially, has gotten so worried about being politically correct, nobody knows what to do. Leave the towers in and possibly offend someone by bringing up painful memories or looking like you're trying to make a buck? Take them out and possibly offend someone by not being true to history? We're so worried about not hurting anyone's feeling, that what has already become a historic photograph of some firemen raising a flag from the rubble was altered for a monument so that more races were included. I guess it's just a game to offend the fewest number of people possible. ------------------ "Asleep at the switch?

Same for Knockaround Guys.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-15-2002 04:25 PM                     WTC is still alive at the end of "Gangs of New York". Thanks Marty & Thelma also Spike Lee uses the WTC twin spots in the skyline opening in "The 25th Hours". Charles "Knockaround Guys" was on the shelf for along time, over at New Line. "Empire" is a neg pick-up by Universal. I ran double system screenings of that over ten months ago, here in the city. Both pictures were done and sitting on a shelf just after 9/11.  |  IP: Logged
