    i think i know what universal is doing: they put so much time and effort into a mummy sequel that they need it to do really well, even moreso than the average sequel because they want to promote the "scorpian king" spinoff movie series. so this is a very important movie for them. now, jurassic park did very well back in 93, and the lost world did very well (though it had problems) in 97. they want to get mummy 2 out of the way before they push jp3. they want those people who love cgi creature movies to see another one advertized at the mummy. they do not want jp hype to take away from their new cash cow.

    maybe the may trailer is a teaser

    Calm down people. Sheesh. You've waited this long, I think you can wait a little longer.

    I agree The Mummy wasnt the best movie, but its sequel looks like a decent movie. The special effects certainly are not cheap, though acting may be questionable at times. You have to realize though that the Mummy isnt a "serious" film, because it is part comedy.

    Of course the Mummy Returns is Universal's main release. First of all, this movie was announced way before JP3, so they will market it first. Secondly, Universal has just about ridden the JP franchise for all its worth. Thirdly, I've heard nothing BUT positive reactions to the Mummy 2 trailer when i was at theaters.

    Embryo just got an e-mail that says they are still trying to make a trailer for an April release. So, we might still have a trailer before May.

    Exuse me getupkid & yuytretg what's wrong with Harry Potter ? I thought they were amazing books. Anyone agrees with me ????????


    At 1:15:35 PM on 3/20/2001, getupkid said:
    i hate harry potter but i swear i saw the trailer. go to apple.com, then click on the quick time thing, then click on the movie trailers icon. then you can choose from a lot of different movies and there is a harry potter trailer on there!!!

    jp3 can now officially kiss my ass.listen guys,i think we should just live with the first two movies and forget about the third.I mean,if Universal is calling THE MUMMY RETURNS their main movie event,then they must think its better than jp3.and THE MUMMY was god awful!
    JP was once their biggest franchise!
    only to be dominated by a cheaply done-special-effects-no plot-bad acting-summer movie!!!

    UGH! I am so sick of these stupid trailer rumors! Those turds at Universal need to get their facts straight! Oh well. But this " Mummy Returns" thing is true? I've been waiting impatiently for a trailer for sometime now....

    Shut up you lying sack of shit!you did not see the full Harry Potter trailer because they probably havent gotten started on it yet!
    Harry Potter is suck really bad anyway,so nobody cares

    i saw a full harry potter trailer yesterday. it comes out in NOVEMBER!!!!!

    That was meant to be a frustrated face, but the bottom didn't come out. Just use your imagination.

    Saw Snatch on Sunday. Saw the Planet of the Apes trailer. It comes out a week after JP3. That's all I've got to say :


    At 6:34:07 PM on 3/19/2001, eLeMeNt said:
    oh yeah... i'll also say they should leave at three... a fourth one would be ridiculous..

    and who was that talking about the Rocky movies? i cant believe that movie went past the first one... fuckin ridiculous, how many times is he gonna get his ass kicked then miraculously come back and whoop some ass... specially since Sly is actually only like 5'6"... not that it matters but it's a little questionable... especially when they put him against Mr. T... haah
    peace


    At 6:29:16 PM on 3/19/2001, eLeMeNt said:
    yeah... more dino movies would be cool... but what ype of originality would you think people would have to come up with to make it interesting enough to get as big crowds as Jurassic Park. See that's got to be one of the most original concepts to be released. I swear Jurassic Park will be considered a classic... damn it already is... but you know the only thing people could use with dinosaurs that hasnt been done yet (with some sort of human contact/intervention) would have to be Time Travel or something like that... Although along the lines of evolution, some creativity could be utilized with some sort of Sci Fi concept... i dunno... fuckin like reverse evolution or something... Birds change back into dinosaurs... hahaha i dunno, fuck that's some crazy shit... maybe some video dude could use that...

    Anyway speaking of which, wasn't there some word that JP3 might have some evolution thing worked into the plot... something Grant was figuring out/realizing.. i dunno...
    hopefully they leave stuff like that as a surprise for opening night and not reveal it all in the trailer

    now that's all i gotta say

    peace

    I would like them to make a four if its a good scrip.

    At 4:00:14 PM on 3/19/2001, raptor13 said:
    If you hink about it all movies that come in fours suck...
    1. Star Wars 6 & 1( this is debatable between tpm and rotj)
    2.Rocky 4 & 5..and heard they might make another one..yepy(hint the scarcasim)
    3.Scream 3( not a four movie deal but i had to put it in)
    4 Jaws 4 the revenge(this moie was bs)
    5. Alein resurection
    6. firday the 13th movies
    7. elm street movies
    8.Holloween movies
    9. Batman and Robin
    10. Superman 4 the quest for peace
    .....need i go on...so if these trend continue and jp des go to a fourth film it will blow monkey ass...let's hope jp3 it doesn't turn into twl (what was with that ending?)


    At 2:12:45 PM on 3/19/2001, Stevefan said:
    Their strategy seems to me to be working. All the crazed fans are hyperventillating and other people don't think about movies months in advance. Remember it was a Superbowl spot for ID4 that got everyone excited, now e all demand a teaser the year before! Ridiculous. I'm sure Universal is just waiting to get TMR out of the way befor they bombard us with JP3 stuff.


    At 1:16:59 PM on 3/19/2001, getupkid said:
    yeah, i agree that this should probably be left a trilogy. but i would love to see other movies with dinos. and if this movie does well, i would expect for others to try to capitalize on the dinosaur craze. who knows? in three years we there might be a new dino movie franchise starting better than jp? and for something to be better than jp...it'll be pretty darn good!


    At 12:54:17 PM on 3/19/2001, yuytretg said:
    Dan,is it finally OFFICIAL that there will be no teaser before MAY.Cause im getting sick of getting all hyped up for a trailer and then being totally let down!
    I think im speaking for all of us here?


    At 12:32:41 PM on 3/19/2001, T-rex vs. Spinosaurus said:
    And eLeMeNt, the Rocky series was a great one, and in my opinion the best one was the fourth, although I didn't like the fifth (that street fight thing between Rocky and Tommy Gunn was just dumb) as much as the others.


    At 12:27:29 PM on 3/19/2001, T-rex vs. Spinosaurus said:
    I want to see the trailer!!! I love all dinosaur movies and I know I'm going to love JP3, and really the only reason I care if it does well in the box office is so that they can make a JP4. i want to see even more dinosaurs in another movie in the JP series and I'm hoping JP3 will do well enough for people to want a fourth. I also want to see that Universal doesn't think JP3 will do badly, because they're acting like it, calling TMR the main movie event.


    At 12:05:52 PM on 3/19/2001, eLeMeNt said:
    hey Getupkid... i think i was the one that commented on the box Office thing...

    seriously, what's the big deal? Personally i dont want them to make a 4th one... It's getting ridiculous. It's gonna be like them Land Before Time cartoon movies... and it'll go on forever with pointless plots...
    it had BETTER stop with the Trilogy. that's what i think. The trilogy's are usually the best sets of movies... seriously... think about it... Back To The Future, Aliens, Star Wars... but see look what happened to the 4th movies of Aliens and Star Wars... they sucked... but the first three were good...
    see that's why i could care less what happens at the Box Office for this movie. although i doubt it will do bad... Just because. So dont get yer panties in a knot.
    peace out

    I never said TLW was a bad movie, I like it, but how could you like it better than JP? I watch it at least once a week, and TLW maybe once a month

    Oh yeah, I hated that stupid American Beauty cry-cry predictable movie.


    At 9:16:49 PM on 3/18/2001, Cheetah167 said:
    I'll waste my $7.50 on that crappy The Mummy Returns just to see thirty seconds of another blockbuster. There are loyal fans, and it'll kill the box office.

    Most all third installments are the most seen.

    Also, Mr. Macy can do action and comedy -- the JP movies -- he did a little of both in Magnolia AND Mystery Men.

    Tea is a good actress. She made me cry in Deep Impact (Spielberg). Also, Dern was great in Joe's October Sky.

    Give credit to Mike Jeter, I like him. Very excentric.

    I liked The Lost World because I knew where Steve was going but the ending could have been better.

    Finally, they barely advertised Titanic and it made 600-frigging-million bucks!

    I agree with Animal Control- Jp3's gonna rule ass, but i now can't wait for Mummy 2!

    <font color=Cyan>I think Jurassic Park III will be very good. I will die when I see the trailer in the movie theater. It is going to be awsome. I cant wait until May 4</font>


    At 4:20:21 PM on 3/18/2001, getupkid said:
    yeah i forgot about laura dern and little trev. i've never seen a tea leoni movie so i don't know about her. i can't stand michael jeter, though. but maybe i was a little harsh. i'm glad their not stuffing every plot detail down our throats like most movies do. i visited dan's tlw site almost every day back in 97, and it almost ruined the movie for me. but it's cool that they are keeping this one mysterious. but they gotta give us something to keep us interested. and i don't mean two publicity stills and a crap teaser. and someone said that the box office grossing didn't matter. that is not true at all. while this will be the same movie if one person sees it or a billion, how well this does will affect the production of dino movies in the future. if this bombs, you can kiss any hope of a jp4 goodbye, as well as any other dino flick in the near future. but i'm holding out hope for this one. let's just hope universal's no-publicity-publicity-stunt approach doesn't backfire.


    At 3:06:24 PM on 3/18/2001, North2000 said:
    I really liked TLW but I was a little dissapointed and it's because I knew alot about the movie before I watched it. Some people act like they have to know everything about JP3 before they see it. The JP3 trailer probably won't reveal much, but that's good.


    At 2:44:28 PM on 3/18/2001, ParkerP82 said:
    Second rate cast MY ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    Trevor Morgan is a great little actor who will be much better in his role than Dumb Tim and Kelly were.

    Laura Dern is an amazing actress,hope she does a bit more than just a cameo.I love her.

    Tea Leoni is great she can definately pull it of.

    The only thing that is wrong with this film so far is that we haven't seen SHIT of it yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!Not even a decent teaser!!


    At 2:30:47 PM on 3/18/2001, getupkid said:
    okay, i'm officially worried now. i realize it's just a movie, but it is a movie that had limitless potential that seems to me like it is being wasted on a second rate cast and a third rate crew. (i like macy and neill, but the others are sub-par). and what's the deal with no john williams? if they don't get him then at least get zimmer or horner! who's this guy, anyway? and johnston better not make this like he made jumanji (all cute and cuddly, with no blood). they shoulda got michael bay to direct.
    i have to admit, i am enjoying all the suspense of no trailer and little promotion. but i'm afraid it's gonna kill the movie. most people have never heard of jp3 and they need to change that. they are foolish.

    At 12:49:37 PM on 3/18/2001, eLeMeNt said:
    I think everyones taking this a little too seriously, it's just a movie... and if you have nothing better to do than complain about a movie's trailer then you should get a life. dont over analyze everything, and nobody should care if it doesn't do well at the box office, it's still gonna be the same damn movie. wouldn't you rather be surprised going to see the movie than already knowing what's gonna happen? you guys are ridiculous.

    peace out.

    And it certainly killed TLW and The Phantom Menace....

    Oh yee people of great knowledge obviously know what is best for the film, even though Universal has people who went to college to study marketing techniques....

    Overhype kills movies. Period. It almost killed X-men....

    The first time I saw TLW, I thought oh this sucks but now I love it.


    At 3:52:24 AM on 3/18/2001, Rake said:
    Where'd the TLW bashing come from? Horrid film, but the Rex vs trailer scene was cool, and the first half was pretty funny. Not a COMPLETE loss...

    Anyway, despite the suspense that may be building up from the complete blackout of visuals on JP3, I still believe Universal is in the wrong. The way you build up suspense in a situation like this is to let people know the film exists, but ONLY tell them it exists. U hasn't done this, because practically no one has gotten the word. JP3 posters at theaters around here used to be scarce, but now they're gone completely. Smooth move.

    In my humble opinion, they should release a teaser similar to Gladiator's teaser, short, introducing the plot in an extremely vague (that's good), way, then show a short series of action shots, and then suddenly end with a bang. I still watch that G teaser to this day, in between the new Driven trailer, anyway, hehe. Thx to that brilliant piece of work, I'm actually more excited about that film then JP3. Why? Because I have nothing to base any fucking hopes on when it comes to JP3. Pathetic, 3 will do nothing at the box office, which in itself is a tragedy to the JP name. Jurassic Park is the only record breaker franchise in existance other then Star Wars, and if U doesn't do something FAST, JP will die, which is something I don't want to see, but they apparently do.

    Yup, yup, lets just keep putting out the air time for TMR, and ignore everyone else... When was the last time you saw a Fast and the Furious trailer, btw? That's what I thought.


    At 2:42:41 AM on 3/18/2001, BD said:
    This is kinda going from the topic, but whoever thought TLW is better than JP is a retard. There's no way around it. Just plain stupid. Anyway, how does Universal expect to pull people into to see JP3? If most of the general public has no idea about JP3, why wait till a month before to tell them. Maybe suprise them before they have a chance to remember TLW, and all the people who think it was better than JP...god


    At 1:56:48 AM on 3/18/2001, North2000 said:
    Some people are so impatient. If you go to Dan's website alot you already know alot more about JP3 than the average person.


    At 1:47:33 AM on 3/18/2001, Utahraptor said:
    Seems counterproductive to me. No hype, alte tailer, peopel will think they don't have faith in their own movie. Not a lotta love for their biggest franchise.

    At 8:49:42 PM on 3/17/2001, Majin2 said:
    Why complain, the movie is still coming out, right.. well then you have nothing to worrie about, they are just making us wait as they figure it will build supence and make more people whant to go and see it. That is all, so no one needs to get in a rut about nothing cause there will be a trailer and we can all see TMR, It will be great fun now wont it?.?
