Trek on the day

[Crewman47]

Don't want to start any bashing or anything but what would happen if on the release date you went to your local cinema all eager to see Trek 11 and find this instead:

Just curious, would all hell break loose?

Btw I am very eager to see the film just found this site and wanted to see what the sign would look like.

 

[Dukhat]

Somehow, believe it or not, I think I'd be able to continue on with my life.

 

[gastrof]

Eh.

I'd find another theater.

After all that time, I don't think it would have been pulled by Paramount.

It won't happen. Even if the film were "cancelled," we would hear about it long before opening day. Right now the film is shot and in post production. The likelyhood of it not being released is mighty slim.

Now that brought back alot of horrifiying mod-related memories.

Anyway...to the OP - I don't think it would happen as you describe. I really cannot imagine them pulling the film without warning...and at this point, with shooting pretty much done and a bunch of money sunk into the thing, it's even less likely.

Hehehehe. Tell that to Michael Bailey Smith, Rebecca Staab, Alex Hyde-White and Jay Underwood, the cast of the original 1994 "Fantastic Four" film. it was pulled the day of their promotional tour in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, IIRC.

Rightly so. That trailer looks awful. I don't think there would have been hundreds of Fantastic Four fans protesting that steaming pile of poo.

And again, that film was pullled ahead of its release date, and frankly, no one really noticed.

Grown men would weep in the streets before leaping off the nearest high rise and distraught mothers would slay their offspring, knowing their children's lives would be forever incomplete without the Trek XI experience.

Oh yes. The streets would run in a river of blood.

 

[Nowhere Man]

I would just wait for it to come out on you tube or something, but yeah i'd be pissed

Not really a fair comparison. A low-budget comic book film is hardly in the same league as a $160+ million Star Trek epic.
