News/Rumor

Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer coming Monday on Good Morning America

This makes me wonder if they will play it first during the Superbowl...airing it for the first time while many people are at work vs when many people will be watching seems odd...unless like people here have been saying - it’s not great so they don’t want to spend for a Superbowl spot!
 
....and would probably be willing to pay the extra, within reason

within reason - that's funny :rotfl2::lmao:


I guess I'm less upset by this than most. While I think it's a good idea, of all the announcements, it's the least interesting thing to me - mostly best used as a people eater, which MK needs, but better to cancel this than just about anything else on the list of D23 announcements.

And yes - we are also getting a 30 second super bowl spot. Looks like the question of whether it comes out in May is pretty well answered - they wouldn't be debuting the trailer if it was being delayed to December.


...and...it's sold out...

Sort of bummed that we'll be down there for this, but just arriving in Orlando that night (and will be at Universal first) - so wouldn't be able to make it. That would be pretty cool.

I am a bit upset about the theater being cancelled - partly because I think it would be great to have but also because it was different than a lot of the other projects which are all largely rides, and many of them on the more thrilling side. I think Disney is the best when it has things that appeal to the broadest set of people and I think a lot of people that the theater would appeal to are less drawn to things like Tron and the Guardian's coaster
 
Definitely big things - Western River Expedition, Mythical Beasts section of Animal Kingdom, or even the Mineral King Valley Ski Resort all got pretty far into development

There were several World Showcase Pavilions which almost made it to the construction phase. A detailed model of the Equatorial Africa Pavilion was put on display at one point and supposedly Alex Haley had recorded an introduction for the attraction. Never did hear why Disney pulled the plug for this one. Supposedly Disney had an agreement with a Japanese company (I'm thinking Fuji Film?) to sponsor a Mount Fuji roller coaster at the Japan Pavilion.

Disney was close to starting construction of the Asian Resort in the mid-1970's but he Arab oil embargo came along. There was information in that year's annual report to shareholders that construction was imminent.
 

That's good to hear. However, the man is 95 years old so realistically I know it's only a matter of time. Being a huge comic book fan, I've known who Stan Lee is for most of my life. He narrated the cartoons I watched as a kid. So even though he hasn't had much impact on the comic industry in a while, it's going to be really weird for me when he's gone.
