Author Topic: The Phone Booth trailer Eli Blasingame Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Loleta, CA, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 10-18-2002 05:27 AM                     I received a fax today, telling me to pull all the "Phone Booth" trailers. did all theatres get this fax. It's sad that the life we run from by going to the movies, is so life like, where we hide out at. ------------------  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

The 'pull order' in Brendan's fax only applies to DATED (the film has been moved to March 2003) promotional materials (trailers, posters, standees,banners). AFAIK, the non-dated items (EXCEPT the trailers, which have 'potentially objectionable' material in them due to the current 'sniper' situation back East) are still useable until new materials are printed. Sounds like 'Big Trouble' and 'Collateral Damage' all over again -Aaron  |  IP: Logged James R.

I didnt see anything that was dated, so I dont know why they would say to throw them out. ------------------ Find me online AOL: Dexter Caldwell yahoo!: dexter_caldwell "It is the opinion of the entire staff the Dexter is criminally insane."  |  IP: Logged Aldo Baez Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 10-19-2002 12:47 AM                    The phone booth trailer is dated november 15th so why would we save them?  |  IP: Logged James R.

I forgot that they had dates and I didnt see the trailer until they were all taken off. Not sure why they told us to save them. ------------------ Find me online AOL: Dexter Caldwell yahoo!: dexter_caldwell "It is the opinion of the entire staff the Dexter is criminally insane."  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

It just stated that all promotional material was not to be used.  |  IP: Logged Eli Blasingame Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Loleta, CA, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 10-19-2002 05:40 PM                     No, I think their holding off on it.
