This is meant to be a blockbuster and, in theory, marketing needs to ramp up so people are actually aware the movie exists. Although, if we hit the three month out mark, my concern will become a bit more valid. Recently people have become increasingly upset as scenes that appear in trailers are completely absent in the movie, as with the Joker in Suicide Squad.Īll in all this could turn out to be a good thing, a major studio bucking the current trend. That being said, a lot of criticism has been heaped on Hollywood for revealing too much of the movie with roughly a year of trailers. In the current climate of releasing teasers a year or more before the movie releases, this is a bit concerning. However, the lack of marketing materials and not even a teaser trailer to speak of has me more than a little nervous. I love science fiction, I love Pratt and Lawrence, I’m excited to see them in a movie together. Basically they wander the ship, fall in love, get into shenanigans and, eventually, have to save the ship because of course they do. The movie is all about what happens when two people wake up on an interstellar journey 90 years before schedule. No trailer, no billboards, no real marketing to speak of. With a little under four months to go before release, we have seen a few photos and now a movie poster. Passengers is a Holiday science fiction movie that stars two of the biggest names in Hollywood right now, Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence.
