So, there was no AA teaser during the Super Bowl.

[worthyoflove]

Maybe I wasn't paying very close attention but I didn't feel like there were a lot of movie trailers. Transformers, Pirates...

I'm waiting for a release date on this thing, might give us a better idea when to expect a trailer to hit in theaters.

[zacsbabyboo]

They said we'll get it early this year... so still waiting. should be any day now.

I was sad there was no ad for the Super Bowl.

[worthyoflove]

I'm not surprised, they said early-ish this year. We're going to start getting past early-ish real soon. I'd expect something from them in the next few weeks. Hopefully, maybe after the Oscars.

[SouthernSweetieTX]

The Oscars?!? That's not until the end of the month. My patience is growing thin...

[worthyoflove]

It wouldn't surprise me if it's not going to come out until late this year, so I guess then we should probably expect Granite Mountain teasers before teasers here.

I just want a release date.

[zacsbabyboo]

it better be soon, i don't know how much longer i can wait!

[worthyoflove]

It's weird that there still isn't a release date. We got a release date for Granite Mountain right after it started filming. Makes me worried a bit that they don't seem to know what to do with it.

[zacsbabyboo]

maybe they'll surprise us?

I'm thinking summer or thanksgiving or Christmas. If it's summer, they would be promoting already though, I would guess. I mean, at least a trailer. So... it's probably not until the holidays. It'd be a good holiday release.
