I wouldn’t – I don’t think Lionsgate is very good at promoting movies.

That’s awesome that Studios are fighting for this movie. I’m pulling for Lions Gate. I want to see a trailer already, it’s time to visually see all the awesome things I’ve heard about this movie.

Funny – the word “insane” kept popping into my head with every subsequent clip they showed. And that’s insane in a GOOD way.

The Comic-Con trailer was insane. Best out of all the other ones there. I’m glad it’s gonna get a released. The question now, is when.

Lionsgate, Universal and Paramount. I’m happy with that since with certain other studios, there’d be a chance that once the film was bought, they’d want to change stuff or cut stuff out.

There’s still a chance of that with any of those studios, but less so, at least with Universal and Paramount. Plus, the Comic-con footage has created a lot of buzz, which helps put butts in seats.

Good for Vaughan, there’s a reason he didn’t end up directing X-Men 3 – He knows how to make a comic-book movie done right and knows that one was crap.

I hope this movie does amazingly well, it looks great!
