The more someone feels the connectivity to a product before it even reaches the mainstream, the more likely they will probably go see it to fulfill some sense of uniqueness.But for others, trailers make it hard to anticipate a movie these days if you see all the worthwhile scenes there are to see before the movie even starts.If I want to see a movie, I do everything I can to dodge the trailers, but in this day and age, people have this sense that they need to know about something before it screens. Which makes it hard for reporters / bloggers who may want to dodge the info before seeing a movie, but must report on it to give their readership what the want.It's a fine line, a balancing act if you will.

That's rare. (there was the render cgi but that's not final)It's really telling if you compare today situation to the trailers before Jurassic Park came out - they didn't even have dinosaurs IN them.
