antovolk Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I guess.... I mean, it makes total sense why they'd do a spot like this - target females exclusively, sell the romance aspect that actually is an aspect of the film. but the tonal inconsistency between the marketing pieces is the problem here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trifle Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) I am really looking forward to their Graham Norton interview on Friday, as well. Jen's last interview there was epic. Edited November 29, 2016 by trifle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a marketing issue but I'm not sure it's necessarily a problem for the movie itself. Like that Collider article said, it'll depend on whether they're able to reconcile the different aspects. It'll be interesting to see. I was really into the Levitate spot and I figure that's going to be representative of part of the second act probably (I haven't read the script), and then there will be a tonal shift once the twist is revealed, but I can't say I'm worried about it. If they handle it well it shouldn't be jarring. Edited November 29, 2016 by amelin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they handle it well it shouldn't be jarring. Having read the screenplay I'm guessing the 'rom com' elements are in the second act. there were three pretty distinct acts. I don't think you can really label this film in any one genre. It is a four quadrant film. there seems to be a real split on the Levitate music and spot.

It might be a four quadrant film, if it becomes a major hit despite R1, but just because it's a romantic comedy science fiction action adventure film doesn't mean anything. If all it took to become a four quadrant film was multiple genres, every movie would belong in multiple genres. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trifle Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I understand that Jen and Pratt are going to Korea. Since I can't read Korean, I am taking that on faith. another thing another country affiliate is doing... you can buy tickets in the UK. On one AMC site you can buy tickets in a couple of small towns in MI and FL but I think it just slipped through the cracks, because no one else in the US is selling them yet.

JennaJ Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Man, I really wish some of these Spanish media outlets made the dubbing a little less overpowering so I could still make out the English underneath. I found a a few clips which I'd really like to listen to but it's just useless, I can't make any of it out. They look great though and seem to be enjoying the whole thing, as much as you can anyway. Pratt is also having some fun on Instagram by "failing" every selfie he takes with Jen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and it is getting write ups: http://www.gq.com/story/chris-pratt-prank-jennifer-lawrence Jen isn't on social media, except for a facebook page she barely ever updates (with clips from upcoming movies etc, or for charity). So since filming began, people have been pestering Pratt to get selfies with Jen. He finally decided to comply.... in his own way...

If you skip the photocall, the conference press was really good, the host has a nice accent, translated the question to english and didn't translate anything to spanish.

I know De Niro was going to but Jen? She's really loyal to her friends... @The Futurist are you sure? I just googled it and still only see Julliane Moore and Robert De Niro. I see a few people speculating that they would LIKE Jen to appear in it, but I don't see anything saying she would. Did she mention it in one of the Passengers interviews or something?
