The Emoji Movie Teaser Trailer - General

[video=youtube;w3YsSveB_58]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3YsSveB_58[/video] the thumbnail perfectly represents my emotion right now

There's a lot of things wrong with this, but that vertical camera is fucking perfect

I love how the spokes person for the show can give a shit about it.

I'm glad they kept to their word about sticking the supporting advertisers right front and center.

Let me know when they make a movie centered around bottle flipping, or dabbing, or cringing. That's what kids do these days, right?

When your teaser features the product placement before anything else. I already know your movie is going to be terrible.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51557320]This product placement makes sense though.[/QUOTE] Product placement is product placement. It can be passed off as making sense in a live action movie. But in a animated movie it comes off as super forced and in your face.

Even though the entire idea of this movie is incredible cringey and will most likely be terrible, from what I'm seeing from this teaser, it looks like they're at least [I]trying[/I] to make this into a good movie. Now whether or not that actually happens (most likely not), we won't know until the movie comes out, but at the very least it looks like they're putting SOME amount of effort into it. Who knows? Maybe by the time the film comes out, it actually turns out to be decent. Not great, but not terrible either. I don't know, maybe I'm being a bit too optimistic, considering that the whole movie revolves around fucking emoji's.

Yeah, Sony, keep scraping that barrel.

[QUOTE=sipderbat;51557481]what is the product placement that phone at the start?[/QUOTE] The Phone is generic (I think) but all the apps on the screen are real.

What is it with Sony and consistently pushing out the worst ideas for movies ever thought up

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51557320]This product placement makes sense though.[/QUOTE] the whole movie is made so that the product placement makes sense

:hammered:

the entire joke here is "this is something that exists thats doing something it doesnt do"

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;51557323]How else are they going to cover the minimum six figures they paid for the film rights, and that's not covering the film cost and advertising.[/QUOTE] rights for what?

[QUOTE=Primigenes;51557611]I don't see how someone could be anal about that. A movie about emotes on a phone decided to use in real life apps instead of making their own? Wow, how dare they have incredibly easy to ignore product placement in their movies. Do the same people that complain about product placement 24/7 throw a shitfit whenever they see a Walmart in a movie. Wouldn't have even have noticed that they have snapchat, spotify, dropbox, etc on the home screen if it wasn't pointed out to me.[/QUOTE] i really hope people don't stop complaining about product placement. it's one of the most dishonest forms of advertising there is

This is not just a bad movie, this is a bad idea.

I can't wait for the Red Letter Media on this one...

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;51557625]rights for what?[/QUOTE] The film rights to the pitch. Supposedly they bid for [url=http://deadline.com/2015/07/emoji-movie-sony-pictures-animation-anthony-leondis-kung-fu-panda-secrets-of-the-masters-1201482768/]it[/url], and were able to outbid Warner Bros. and Paramount.

Can't wait for the 5 minute montage of funny moments on youtube the second this gets released

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;51557281]There's a lot of things wrong with this, but that vertical camera is fucking perfect[/QUOTE] looks like it's just for this upload that was probably put on facebook or something. here's the official sony upload. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_GMOKQhTrY[/media]

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;51557323]How else are they going to cover the minimum six figures they paid for the film rights, and that's not covering the film cost and advertising.[/QUOTE] What film rights? isn't emoji part of the unicode standard?

[QUOTE=eirexe;51557771]What film rights? isn't emoji part of the unicode standard?[/QUOTE] rights to the script and the idea. take a look at the bidding war mentioned above.

I'm guessing Sony is expecting the film to bring in tons of cash based on merchandising alone, so that the movie won't matter

Friendly reminder that this got canned because Emoji "product placement galore" Movie was obviously more important [video=youtube;M1lzJuwJD9k]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1lzJuwJD9k[/video]
