Maybe they're worried that people that don't like Narnia will comment or say something that will make it look like they're trying too hard to make it a success. I don't know...that's a pretty lame excuse.

Fox only has so much money to spend marketing this film, so they are probably just waiting to do most of the marketing during the last month before the film is released. That way when it comes out it will be on people's minds.

We have had a interview/set report from ComingSoon last week (only part I for the moment). Just wait a month, i bet a lot is coming our way.

I think Fox knows what they are doing. I am not worried. I really would like some new information though!

I am not worried about Fox getting the word out. They know how to make themselves heard when they're good and ready. Look at Avatar.

The marketing budget for Avatar was $150 million (in addition to the $237 million production budget).... By most accounts VDT barely even had a production budget of $150 million.... Its not really in the same league.

How much money was spent on marketing in the last 2 movies?

I am almost glad they have less money because now hopefully they are thinking about making a movie that has heart instead of one that is just spectacular and epic.

Ok. I see your point. Error on my part. What can I say? I'm not a movie Guru just a Narnia freak

One thing you are most definitely right on Trufflehunter is that yes it is the beginning of September, just three more months til the movie! About just 90 more days to go. I think Fox does advertise their films differently, but on the bright side we got the score news today so we know it's almost finished and soon we'll get soundtrack news. I think PC had short time to advertise as well as making a lot of money from the first film were able to advertise the movie on monopoly games, etc.

I really hope we see another trailer soon. Tonight I saw a TV spot for Harry Potter, so maybe at the end of this month we'll get some TV Spots for VODT, better yet a new trailer for when Prince Of Persia comes out on DVD. In October we are getting some books from the film. But it sure does feel like a very long time

Funny thing about marketing: sometimes you can spend as much as you want, but if you don't spend wisely, it won't do any good.

The LA Times article from two years ago mentioned the marketing budget for PC was $150 million. The film didn't exactly take the box office by storm, did it? I never even saw a TV commercial for it. The super-trailer came out after the film...sometimes only half the cast showed up at the premiers...what a mess.

I think Fox/Walden are waiting until closer to the film's release to pump up awareness. That's fine by me.

And speaking of Avatar, isn't the next DVD release of that film in November? Fox may have some tie-in with VDT --- you never know.

I think toning the marketing back is a good idea, as long as the marketing from now on is great. There's also a good chance that they're trying to finish all the sound-mixing and score etc. before they release the next trailer, so we have a better trailer, one more representative of the final product.

My guess is that the final trailer will be released with Harry Potter, about 3 weeks before the movie comes out.

I've still got hopes for VDT. It seems it is to get a Royal premiere. Probably in the same theatre that the Harry Potter films are usually released, near Edgeware Road. That is really something.

What would make the difference for me 100% is to see a 2011 VDT calendar for sale, which I haven't seen yet, not even on Internet. I know it is a relatively cheap sort of thing to have. But something that is worth holding onto for a whole year would be great, and would be definitely a good way to market the film.
