HBP Trailer Watch: Latest Report on a Teaser Attached to The Mummy?

There is another installment today in the continuing saga and wait for any sort of trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Last night our friends at Bloghogwarts let us a know a rep for WB Mexico gave them a tip that teaser trailer was due here in the US on August 1, attached to “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” Today comes word from Oclumencia, that they have received notice from WB Brazil saying the same thing regarding an August 1st teaser trailer here in the US. Finally, Potterish let us know that in Brazil, they will see a teaser attached to “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” when it opens on August 15.

As interesting as all of this is, it should be stated that official word from Warner Brothers here in US, UK or elsewhere has not yet been issued regarding any sort of a trailer, either a teaser or the heavily rumored main trailer, here in the States and/or Europe, and we will update with an official US WB confirmation when it happens.

Also, it would seem those reports about a tiny teaser before the IMAX trailer are indeed true, as AintitCool.com and multiple readers have owled to say what is actually airing is not a ‘trailer’ unfortunately, but rather 15 seconds of simply the “Half-Blood Prince” logo on a black screen (no footage at all), with a voice saying “Coming in IMAX this fall with some scenes in 3-D.” Alas. Thus, we continue our watch for trailer news and will update once we get something more concrete from WB US.

Thanks Alejandro Oclumencia and Potterish!

It’s hard to believe this, or even care anymore, after all the dang dissapointments. You would think WB would realindze this is making fans mad and turned off, Not excited. : \

There is a trailer attatched to Dark Night digital version for the cinemas that use a digital player. The trailer reels haven’t been delivered to the non-digital cinemas yet, alothough it is supposed to be similar. HAVE FUN!!!

This is getting to be a really bad joke.

I hope this is true, as it’s coming out two weeks before clone wars.

you ever think that the entire fandom is just being punk’d?

I am pretty confident about this “rumor” this time, personally. Warner Bros Mexico is still WB, it should know what is going on. I hope. I have rented Mummy 1 & 2 in anticipation! Not of the movie itself, that much, but if I am going to go see the darn thing I want to have the backstory, LOL. If it is terrible I can just relive the trailer in my mind over an dover until the movie is finished, then jet home and hopefully catch it again online. Gotta love the internet!

The Mummy seems so boring, but I guess I`m gonna have to go see it. :P Oh the things I`ll do for Harry Potter …

Lol LemonFaerie! :) I don`t think I`ll go as far as watch The Mummy series. :( I really want to, but I don’t think I could handle it. I watched the trailer for it … and um, let’s just say I fell asleep. :[ I could just go watch the trailer & get out, because I won this ticket for a free movie…. That’s a good idea. :) But like you said, just play the trailer over & over in my head. :D

And the rumor mill keeps rolling along. ^^ I really hope one of them is actually true though I will only be seeing the trailers online so it really doesn’t matter to me what movie the trailer is in front of.

Are you effing me? Just a TEASER?!! C’mon. The movie will be three months away at that point. We should be at full blown trailer by now. Are they just deciding to screw the trailer all together or something? That’s just so ridiculous. Nobody’s really excited about the teaser now, we’re all just really pissed. If it is a full teaser they give us in August, I’ll be very tempted to send WB a long letter filled with lots of swears. And maybe hex them. Just… gahhh.

Umm… I think by “teaser” they just mean the first trailer, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be teaser-length. And even if it is just a teaser, that’s 1:30-2:00 minutes of footage.
