Comic Con: Disney Trailers (Pirates4 & Tron) & Mythbusters

[Sky Warrior Bob]

There's a thread on the Thor stuff, but other Comic Con stuff has come to light. Some of it I did actually get to see while I was at Comic Con. Other stuff, I missed. Thought I'd share what I've collected so far.

Later on, maybe Sunday. I might talk about some of the panels I went to. Not that I'm the best resource. I'm a horrible writer about this sort of thing, and you'll likely be better off looking elsewhere.

Here's the brief clip (http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/pirates-of-caribbean-on-stranger-tides/comic-con-teaser-trailer) they showed @ Comic Con for Pirates 4.

Here's the clip (http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/tr2n/feature-trailer) for Tron Legacy.

Neither of which I got to see live, despite being at Comic Con. Getting into Hall H (they area they play the trailers) is pretty much an all day affair & not worth it to me (when there's all sort of other neat stuff going on & you can't tell if a trailer is worth your time, until after you've seen it).

Regarding stuff that appeared at Comic-Con, I highly recommend you check out the Mythbusters's panel on Youtube. Yes, on most uploads the footage from the next season has been cut out, but its fun all the same. Plus, they talked about most of what was shown anyway.

Here's a link to Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSWbOk3Kob4), Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPrUKRzVooY), Part 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4LcZvAl758), Part 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1bvanmSpfg), Part 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-Am0pr-P0w).

Haven't spotted anything on the Green Lantern footage (one site had audio briefly up), but I'll keep poking around.

Just checked out the Tron Legacy and Pirates 4 trailer. Will check out other stuff later.

On Tron: I'm so revved up on this I can hardly stand it. The trailer itself is a bit too reveal-y for my tastes - nothing I didn't half expect, but there are some things that a movie should probably leave as half-surprises for narrative that the trailer just doesn't. The theater trailer is much better in that regard. Still, it can't dampen my enthusiasm!

On Pirates: Well, the series ended, and I was happy with it doing so. The first movie was great, the second grea- (CUT OFF mid-movie, also personality shift time!), and the third was okay, and at least it ended the series decently. To my mind, the Pirates series had over-reached, and attempted to tie the narrative of the first movie (poorly) with the second and third, which, themselves weren't greatly paced, but it was enjoyable and over. I heard of the fourth movie and wasn't interested. Then I watched a simple teaser trailer of Johnny Depp sitting there as Jack Sparrow. Now I'm going to have to watch it (unless it looks lame). So, apparently that trailer was effective in its simplicity.

Pirates 4? Haven't we been hurt enough?

Pirates 4? Haven't we been hurt enough?

Watch the clip, it at least sounds promising. Besides, this movie won't have Will & Elizabeth's romance dragging it down. It'll just be Sparrow & Barbosa going for the Fountain of Youth.

The problem with 2 & 3, was that things got too complicated. 4, seems like it might be a more like what Pirates 1 was.

Barbossa is getting back eh? That's disappointing. I saw the ending of At World's End as Jack cutting loose from all the weight he'd accumulated, giving up on the Pearl and everything. If there were any more movies, I thought, no characters or plots from the other ones would have to be carried over. Captain Jack Sparrow works best with people who don't know him too well to be impressed by his mythology.

Old Viking saying: It's misfortune to own a pretty thing grasped after by many.

[RickZarber]

On the other hand, Geoffrey Rush.

[Archbio]

Ian McShane!

[The Sevenshot Kid]

Ian McShane!

Seriously?! Can I buy my tickets for this movie right now?

[Ryanderman]

giving up on the Pearl and everything.

Do you know nothing of Captain Jack Sparrow?

This movie will be great if it focus's on Jack, Barbossa, their rivalry over the pearl, and their quest for immortality. It should end pretty much in the exact place it began, and with a hook for another sequel, but not a set up for another "epic" arc.

[Nique]

Yeah the last two 'Pirates' weren't good. I mean, yeah acting and action was fine (and ONLY fine) but they were just really weak stories and even the FX were laughable at times. I'm not excited about a fourth film at all.

Tron looks rad though.

[Amake]

Do you know nothing of Captain Jack Sparrow?
I know he likes to run away from a fight. A ship makes you free and yes, the fastest ship would make you the most free, in theory. But if you have it you have to constantly fight to keep it. Unsuccessfully, if previous history is any indication. Going after it again would suggest obsession rather than infatuation on Jack's part, and I think he'd go a long way before letting himself be ruled by obsession.

[Archbio]

Ian McShane playing Blackbeard. In the same movie as Geoffrey Rush.

Now, I'm not saying that it means that it'll recapture the original's glory, but I've got to see that, eventually.

Apparently, it's inspired by a novel, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Stranger_Tides) so maybe they really are putting the series on a new course.

[Fifthfiend]

I was coming in here to post about how largely uninterested I was in Pirates but I'll probably see it anyway cause what the hell it's Pirates.

But then someone was like IAN MCSHANE so now I'll see Pirates because between him and Geoffrey Rush the two of them are literally going to eat the scenery, the props, and the entire cast, including each other.

[Amake]

I sense a great piece of slash fiction about to be born. Colors of Love, Jolly Roger edition: They ate the set. . .and turned on each other. (Contains vore.)

[Archbio]

Maybe I should write taglines, after all.

[Fifthfiend]

Pirates of the Caribbean 4: "IAN MCSHANE!!!!!!!"

Oh man if there's one thing COMCOL was missing, it's vore.

Well no if there's one thing COMCOL is missing, it's mpreg. But if there are TWO things COMCOL is missing, it's totally 1. mpreg and 2. vore.

[Mesden]

Ian McShane and Geoffrey Rush are the two best actors ever of all time so this should be wonderful.

[walkertexasdruid]

I am very surprised to hear about Pirates 4. Hopefully, they will streamline the story so it does not start tripping over all of its own twists as they did in Pirates 3. Depp, Rush, and McShaine make this movie sound promising. Tronn looks really cool, a sequel over two decades in the making.

While dropping Will is probably a good thing, the movie will still need a relatable newbie pirate character as the main protagonist, otherwise it'll just be a bunch of wacky characters getting up to wacky shenanigans.

What's wrong with that exactly?

[Art of Hilt]

Ian McShane playing Blackbeard. In the same movie as Geoffrey Rush.

Goddammit I was trying so hard NOT to watch this movie. Between Jack Sparrow taunting the audience and Geoffrey Rush and now McShane playing Blackbeard of all the pirates in the world...

Just... just goddammit.

FINE. FINE. I WILL PAY CURRENCY TO VIEW THIS MOTION PICTURE ON A LARGE SCREEN. FINE. OKAY. ARGH.

Yes yes but this is pretty much why the limited information we are receiving is getting any amount of enthusiasm whatsoever.
JACK SPARROW. BARBOSSA. BLACKBEARD. THEY ALL TRY TO KILL EACH OTHER. NICE.


Although looking at the cast list... Angelica? Scram? Philip? Who are these people? Are they going to be useful and entertaining or are we going to follow them around as they shriek while action happens off-screen, forcing us to listen in agony as one of them attempts to quip up a quirky one-liner relating how "absolutely crazy this is! Woah!"


EDIT- Well okay after actually reading it turns out Angelica is definitely not going to be that kind of character. Still reserving the right to not trust anyone named "Scram" though.

[Nique]

This whole thing would make more sense as a prequel as in the third movie they made a big deal about the 'age of pirates' coming to an end er sumthin'

[Art of Hilt]

Apparently Keith Richards is going to be in this movie as well and he and Johnny Depp are trying to convince Mick Jagger to join in as "a pirate elder".

[Amake]

What's wrong with that exactly?
Yeah and besides, why would a character have to be new at pirating or otherwise "normal" for us to be able to relate to him or her? I always identified most with Jack myself. >_>

Supposition: Any character can be relatable as long as they're competently written.

[Nique]

I know that 'why is the rum gone' really stuck a chord with me. Just sayin'.

[POS Industries]

Ian McShane and Geoffrey Rush are the two best actors ever of all time so this should be wonderful.
Making it a triad with Gary Oldman would ruin all my pants forever.

But I think there's something in Revelations about such an alignment of awesome setting off Armageddon so I guess it's probably not a good way to make a profit on Disney's part, so we'll just play it safe with McShane and Rush.
