![]() ![]() ![]() It’s so random and disorienting that the impact of the advertising is ruined. But this particular experiment didn’t work. Finding new and clever ways to maximize that kind of film’s visibility is important. Look, marketing a movie is difficult, particularly if it’s an original film without a built-in audience. It really does play as though the latest Paranormal Activity movie got punk’d. The credits rolled for only a few moments with the appropriately somber music, then there was slapstick zombie nonsense, and then the credits resumed as somberly as ever as if nothing had happened. To be fair, the trailers preceding Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension did ask us to stay after the movie for a preview of Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, but the implication was that the movie would at least be over first. We are not ready to see a trailer to Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, and we are unlikely to be receptive to it after we just watched the apocalyptically depressing conclusion to a far more serious movie. ![]() So shoving a new advertisement in their face at that moment, without rhyme or reason, is to the detriment of the film, the filmmakers, the audience and – honestly – also the film being advertised.

These are the moments – sometimes several minutes – when audiences members are left alone in the dark with thematically appropriate music to think about what they’ve just seen. The closing credits to a film are not untapped marketing real estate, they have some actual functions: they list the people responsible for the movie, obviously, but they also to give the audience an opportunity to cool off. It’s rude to the filmmakers, and it’s rude to any audience member who may actually have enjoyed watching the film that just finished playing. But tacking a wildly different narrative and tonal experience at the end of a story that was specifically designed to work without that added content is, to put it simply, rude. You can splice a teaser for a sequel or spin-off to the film you’ve just seen into the closing credits if you want to, because at least that preserves the theme. It also doesn’t matter whether or not you even like the trailer to Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. This is simply not the way this should be done. That Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension isn’t a very good movie is besides the point. We were unable to find that trailer online. (This was not the actual trailer shown during the credits. And not after the credits have finished rolling, which might have actually made sense, but just after they started. We only can hope they don't disappoint us again.That’s basically what’s happening at the multiplex this weekend, where the excitable trailer for the new horror comedy Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is playing right after the downer ending to Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension. ![]() And they know our expectations because they are reading all the reactions. So they are really hyping up our unreachable expectations. "We are developing with all of the passion and dedication needed to create an original game and plan to deliver the ultimate gameplay and world building experience. So I guess, most of things we wish for is still possible.īut they really have to improve the endcontent if they want to satisfy me. Also the pre work on Part 1 will reduce the costs immensly. To add a lot more story into those games. If they use Chocobos and stuff for fast travel, they could put it down to a 40 hour game or something. The PS2 release of FF12 had 60 hours for the story. The rest of the story of the OG is 30 hours long. Should be balancing out the missing expansions for a bit. Take in the longer maps, longer battles, longer dialogues in comparson to the original. They made around 32 hours of it for the Remake. ![]()
