Well, me and a friend got to the cinema (the Warner Village in Plymouth UK), bought our tickets for Lost Souls, sat down and waited. We got the Almost Famous trailer, followed by the Hannibal trailer…then the film started!! We walked out understandably gutted.
The guy who took our tickets was very apologtic and gave us a refund whilst sending off a guy to find out if they even had the trailer. It turns out they didn’t even have a copy of the trailer, and had no idea that it was supposed to be attached to ‘Lost souls’ only, when we first came out he originaly said ‘It’ll probably be on Cast Away’ then.
They had no idea that the trailer was being advertised with LS, both in mags and on radio. As we left they were about to phone the local radio and ask them to mention that the trailer won’t be in until next week at the earliest, and I think they were going to get on to the UK New Line distributors to find out what had happened to their copy.
They were also going to put up a big sign in the foyer saying that they didn’t have the trailer!! I don”t think they want to spend the rest of today giving out refunds!
I’m guessing that this hasn’t happend at every cinema in the UK, but the moral is, if you’re going just to see it…phone ahead to make sure it’s there!

Ringer Spy Martin sends in sad word from Ireland.
Really bad news from Ireland. The trailer will not be on Castaway or any film here.
Here’s a snippet from a mail I recieved from another Irish ringer who did all the legwork on this one.
This is the authoritative word on the Trailer. It will NOT be shown in Ireland. I rang Abbey films in Dublin who distribute New line films in Ireland and a very helpful man there explained to me that the Irish Film censors board will not certificate a trailer until they have seen the film.
Since this won’t be possible until mid November at the earliest there is no chance of the trailer being shown.

Thanks to Ringer fan James for sending this in from today’s Toronto Star:
“In this hurry-up world of 2001, you no longer get your full 15 minutes of fame. ” [More]
Case in point is the brief new teaser trailer for the upcoming The Fellowship Of The Ring, the first chapter in Peter Jackson’s wildly anticipated Lord Of The Rings movie trilogy. It arrives today with cult thunder at theatres showing the JFK drama Thirteen Days, hoping to whet the appetites of anxious Tolkien fans the world over.
