    A major Christian group called TLW a "vote for evolution" and an "attack on Christianity" when it came out in 1997.

    I'm glad there not hyping it all up. I remember i was hyped for tlw after seeing all the publicity it was getting and once i saw the movie i was dissopointed, so i felt like i wasted my time getting all excited about how big tlw was going to be.

    Theres still a lot of summer movies that arent getting any hype. For example A.I. all i seen from that movie is a stinkin logo. At least for jp3 we got this web site. So we got to be happy. And plus, without all the publicity, maybe there still working hard on jp3 making it even better. But trust me once mummy returns comes out, Watch out for jp3. Why do you think mummy is being released in early may- to have a couple months to build up hype for jp3

    Driven,TMR,POTH,Pearl Harbor,Tomb Raider...just a LITTLE list of movies that will kill jp3 this summer...if universal doesn't get it's ass in gear SOON!

    i agree with raptoralpha's comment...this whole trailer thing...if i don't see it soon its really not going to make me happy...there are so many cool movies that have trailers in theaters a long time before the actual movie's release

    Sega.com has news that TLW arcade game is coming to Dreamcast WHOO HOO!!!

    I dont care if there are any commercials, toys, games, whatever. Give me the release date and I will go see it. It will be good.

    No, actually, GREAT strategy Joe Johnson, TLW was to be awsome when i saw the commercials, but it sucked, if we do not have many high expectation, we could be suprised by how the movie WILL be good!

    Look guys, if this is their plan, then maybe they are waiting to open JP3 to a "Surprised and Delighted public."

    Oh sh*t!I have bad feelings that this will be the final movie.

    I agre with PeteDogg007, we are talking about a sequel to two of the most successful films in history. That hopefully should blow everything else out the water, and universal would be stupid if it was there own films.

    I haven't heard much about PLANET OF THE APES!

    For heaven's sake people, Universal is simply waiting till they get their "other film (The Mummy Returns) out the door before they even whisper JP3. They know that JP3 will steal Mummy's thunder, that's why they want to milk both their franchises as seperate entities without any conflict. MARK MY WORDS AFTER MAY 4, THE JP3 BANDWAGON WILL BE UNLOADED!!!

    The people who are stating that they don't want JP3 overhipped. Well, that would be a valid comment...IF THERE WAS ANY HYPE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT! And that's the problem, there's about 3˝ months until this movie debuts and basically nobody knows about it. There is no hype, at all.

    Planet Of The Apes will come out a week after JP3 and it is slated to have three trailers before then (one is already out). Three!!! At the rate JP3 is at, there will probably only be one (the one before The Mummy Returns). And that sucks.

    Like a few of you said, I don't think there is any "strategy" or "master plan." The idiots at Universal are just trying to cover up the many mistakes they are making with the production of this film.

    its a nice theory. But these movies ar completely different, JP3 has to equal a standard set by the other films. And people know this, and i can tell u down here in australia its only the die hard fans who own the net know about this movie....there is zip publicity. No clips on tv
    the toys dont have a release date, just some pimple faced kid saying "er oh...maybe just before the movie"

    its crap! We dont need over the top style of publicity, just a bit knowledge that u guys are actually doing this movie.....we could all go as far to say JP3 exists but thats it.....HOW CAN U NOT LET THE WORLD KNOW!...The "world" knows the movies, the "world" loves the movies, and know thw world wants to go back there one more time....but they dont know that they will be able to!

    Th' fact is, at least releasing a quality theatrical TEASER trailer would not be over-hyping a film, it would be TYPICAL! Especially for a summer movie! And a sequel at that! A sequel to TWO wildly succesful films!

    Neither Universal, nor, Johnson have 'secret plans' or so called 'strategies'; at least not very good ones. Clearly, the marketing departments, or whoever makes the call feels that TMR is the priority, and that JP3 can fend for itself without any help. It's like I mentioned in the 'Board today: Has Universal even heard of PotA!? Shouldn't they want to compete, or something? It's rediculous how much that movie is being promoted compared to JP3.

    ...and just a week after!

    joe johnston doesnt want to overhype the film,but arent all jp fans already hyped about it even though there has been no publicity,i think just the knowledge of knowing that there is a jp3 film is enough to hype up jp fans.

    Oh... Johnston theory is all right. But it's going too, TOO far you gotta admit.

    This is a good thing. Too much publicity will build expectation too high and disappoint a lot of people. Remember why TLW is seen (by some) as a (somewhat) failure? Because it was nothing what we expected. But this time, everyone is going in fresh, not knowing what to expect or having any preconceived notions about the movie.


    At 5:01:49 PM on 4/9/2001, Thorne said:
    The hell with Johnston's theory. JP3 seriously needs publicity. Most people don't even know a JP3 is in the making. And if they do, they don't have any idea when it's being released.

    Very intelligent move. We all know what happened to Godzilla. It'd be a shame if the same thing happened.


    At 2:56:04 PM on 4/9/2001, Tyrant-Lizard-King said:
    I think that holding back information gets the public more hyped about it. Like the teaser trailer sure you were disappointed but then you were like JP3 AWESOME!!!
    Jurassic Park will have no problem finding publicity when it is released. I am just wondering how they will do the videogames TLW for PS was great and so were the JP games for SNES and Sega Genisis. They still could use the same characters but the dinosaurs seem much more detailed and bigger.

    But, October Sky never marketed toys, video games, cereal, and all other stuff you find with an action movie. Now personally I am getting tired of walking up to a friend, telling him about the film, showing him the logo, and them still thinking I'm lying to them. We need some full fledgeling footage, before I go insane and join the Postal Service. AHHHHH!

    Smart move. But it would also B wise to build some hype 4 a summer Blockbuster. They should @ least give us a trailer this month. Meanwhile, there's a website (emphasis on the word WEB) called "sPiderman Hype". It has information on just about everything in the movie and it don't even come out till 2002!!!

    That the hell is going on, on my they are finished filming right, wheres the damn trailer, the damn commercials, the other damn publicity stuff WHERE WHERE WHERE!?

    I say that would be a clever strategy, if they had planned it. I say that they've been delayed, missed a deadline somewhere back and now have to play that since few people know about this movie's secret mission that it will be a surprise for everyone. It's true that few know about it. I told a friend the other day offhandedly that I couldn't wait for JP3 and he was like "when does it come out? Next summer?"

    I think it makes sense, if it really IS Johnstons Philosophy. Look what overhyping does to some movies, like StarWars for instance (That doesn't mean I didn't like it, but some people we let down...) I think Johnstons way of avoiding that is pretty clever. O well.

    Hum, we're still waiting for that damn trailer!!!
