Post subject:  Lucas To Spoil The Plot To ROTS 2 Weeks Before Release..
http://www.ew.com/ew/

In the article about "The Spring Movies Coming Out", Lucasfilm LTD has come up with the Ultimate Moneymaking Marketing Strategy for "Revenge of the Sith" in that George Lucas will release the Revenge of the Sith Videogame 2 weeks before the release of the movie and that the entire game will be 1 big narrative to the movie following every plot point, everything down to the "T", down to every scene in the film and will reveal the ending before the movie is even released.. There Philosophy on this is that fanboys will shell out $50.00 bucks to buy the videogame and that it's so good that it will wet their appetite for the movie 2 weeks later enabling them to shell out even more $$$ because of the game.. I'll say 1 thing for George Lucas: The Guy should teach a class in Marketing Movies 101 at a University for up and coming filmmakers and how to make a bundle$$$$... This is a wise move I think, despite the fact that I was apprehensive over it when I read it in that who would want the plot point and entire movie spoiled before being released, but after considerable thought, I think it's Brilliant.. :-k

Not many people want every plot point of a movie spoiled to them before they see a movie, thats completely stupid.

Actually it's not stupid and rather smart since afterall, most people who grew up on SW pretty much know how Darth Vader became Darth Vader and how all this is layed out.. How could you not??? :-k

Gee, are we just like going against the grain on every subject this morning or what?? You blasted Jackson, Blast Constantine, blast Lucas and now say this movies box office will go down as a result of a videogame of the movie with pivotal plot points??? :-k Alright: I'll betcha.. I'll betcha this movie makes an absolute fortune when it comes out, both in it's 1st weekend and overall domestic total??

No no, i resent that accusation, i did not blast Constantine, im just not sure what to expect from it.

I'm trying to figure this one out actually.

Population of people buying the video game != people who want t owatch episode 3
Population of people buying the video game == people who want to watch episode 3 and own a console.

Knights of the old republic sold about 2 to 3 million copies? Good chance 70% of these people are star wars fanatics (i'm throwin figures here). I doubt more than 60% of them would buy the game to have it spoiled. You do the math.

Number of people buying consoles just for the game? who knows.

Mr. Lucas is running a business, and from a money making standpoint, it's yet another example of his genius foresight, but too much is too much. Why not just sell the videogame on the merits of the videogame? The rich get richer because the know how to push the buttons of the poor. :???:

Well, at least spoilers will be available on the net for anybody who wants them.

Yeah right, like somebody is going to buy the videogame, play it, and then say "Well, I know what's going to happen, I might as stay home from the movie."

Oh PLEASE. If fanboyism worked that way, then there would never be a single repeat viewing of any fanboy movie.

The novel is available about a month before the films.

This is nothing new to Episode III. Episode I and II were also released weeks before the film came out.

Aren't you getting tired of looking like an ass in front of everybody, Nazgul? No? Well the rest of us are tired of it, so have some self respect, quit worshipping Peter Jackson (he doesn't care about you :cry: ), and quit compensating for your...shortcomings. :oops:
