Author Topic: SW:EP2 Trailer shipped with a false name Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 09-20-2002 08:27 AM                     Just got my copy of the SW:EP2 trailer from National Screen. And It's shipped under a false name. Didn't half confuse me when I opewn the box. I'm assuming its just not a mix up of the identifying band since the only film with the false name is from 1939.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-20-2002 08:37 AM                        Thanks for the info, Michael. Now I know what to look for the next time I hijack a Securicor lorry, and can flog the trailers on eBay to whatever anorak-clad saddos are prepared to give me $150 apiece!  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 09-20-2002 08:46 AM                     But I'm not giving away what the false name is!  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

How does it look?  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 09-20-2002 11:30 AM                     No. I'm a second run student cinema.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-20-2002 12:46 PM                        OK, you win. Tell me what the title is and we'll split the proceeds!  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 09-20-2002 01:42 PM                     The Episode I trailers were titled Box Lunch and She Stood Alone. The movie itself was labeled Perfect Timing on the box it shipped in.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-21-2002 08:53 PM                        This practice of marking feature and trailer prints with other titles is a product of Mr. Lucas's inflated ego and paranoia the size of a Mack truck, thinking his films are the culminating work of the 20 and 21st centuries that everyone in the world is hell-bent on stealing his trailers. Perfect example of the delusional mind that some good, long term therapy wouldn't help. Imagine if every studio decided to take up this practice. Everyone get your title translation sheets out.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-22-2002 12:51 AM                     SW EP 2 shipped here as "Daddy"  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-22-2002 02:32 AM                        Idiotic. This is a subrun picture. It's already been bootleged; no one wants to bootleg it at this point in time except in George's head.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-22-2002 12:27 PM                     All our trailers and prints of Episode 1 were labeled with the correct titles when they came. The shipping lables had the false name (i.e. "She Stood Alone" for the one-sheets which were wrapped in a bunch of Anna & The King ones.) but everything else was labled right. Shipping boxes (those grey quassi-plastic ones with the huge FOX logo on them) were just labled "SW EP 1" =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-22-2002 12:34 PM                        I guess Fox had had enough of George's BS.  |  IP: Logged Brian Tristam Williams Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Johannesburg, South Africa Registered: Apr 2002 posted 09-22-2002 07:47 PM                        "Daddy Longlegs" over here - Even the SDDS title ID was renamed.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 09-23-2002 12:00 AM                    Decoy titles are very common for early previews, especially with Sony.  |  IP: Logged
