"Krypton" coming to SyFy from David Goyer
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
Not real in what way? Whether or not we were supposed to see it, it's still a trailer made by them for the purpose of promoting Krypton.
Not according to them. It's not official, so it's therefore not legitimate/real.
Not official is not the same as not real. It was leaked, and may not represent the final show, but it's clearly not some dinky fan made thing.
Well, if it included actual footage from/possible footage for the show, it looked good enough to get me to watch! 
By denying that the trailer is official, Syfy is denying that they created it; therefore, they are denying that it is real.
Not so. "Official" means approved or authorized. Saying it's not official isn't denying they created it, just denying that they authorized its release in this form. It's obviously real footage from the show. It's probably just that this was a preliminary trailer that leaked before they were ready, so maybe it's not the final form they want the trailer to be in. So it's not the official trailer in the sense that it's not the version of the Krypton trailer they intended to release. But that doesn't mean the actual footage it contains is somehow fraudulent.
^ If you're right, why would io9 update their article on the subject to include a statement from Syfy denouncing the trailer as unofficial?
Because it was released without authorization?
Even if the trailer was released without authorization, there's no reason for io9 to update their article with a statement from Syfy denouncing it.
That never happened with the Flash or Supergirl Pilots when they were leaked.

Well, I couldn't find it on YouTube but apparently I can watch dozens of people "react" to watching it. I feel old....
So when Krypton starts airing, absolutely none of this material will be in it? Cool to know.
I still don't get the point of those videos. Why do they think anyone is interested in random strangers reacting to trailers? I guess I've gotten old, too.
Why would Syfy issue statements on the leaking of episodes for Flash or Supergirl?! Maybe Syfy simply has a different policy than CBS and The CW?
General belief is that those pilots were leaked to gauge public interest levels and response, so why would CW/CBS call foul about authorisation.
This is clearly real edited-together sizzle footage. The fact that Syfy does not want to label is the "Official Trailer" does not discount the fact that it's real footage and hence real.
There's a Benny Sisko meme somewhere in here, but my google-fu just isn't finding it.
Hugo - didn't catch the material. Any good?
I already answered that. It's unofficial because it wasn't released through proper channels. Apparently it was a bootleg of the trailer (or perhaps of some early draft of the trailer) rather than the official, scheduled release that Syfy had planned. Naturally no content distributor is going to be happy to have their planned rollout of a trailer hijacked by some Internet bootlegger, their thunder stolen before they're ready. So it wasn't the content of the trailer they objected to, it was the manner in which it was released.
well, it's gone again...any new links?
ALso,interesting that the last time there was major activity on this thread was one year ago.
I am personally not so thrilled that it's connected to the DC FU. I think it creates too much confusion and takes away from the main DC TV... and its doubtful any TV stuff will interact with the movies.
People might be intrigued by the Superman symbol..but when they find it really has nothing to do with the Superman they know, they will drop it.

I thought about it and I suppose it isn't completely foreign to us watching these videos and offering comments. I guess what gets me is just that the focus is on some putz making faces and going OTT for minutes and minutes on end. I found one where the guy at least showed the trailer in a small window while he watched so I could see it but the whole time he just sat there slack-jawed and wide-eyed going "Whoa" five or six times.
Tell us how you really feel!
Sorry for the double post, hit reply instead of edit...
