They did it with Arnold in Terminator Salvation and I believe Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek. So the question is when do you think they are going to air a commercial with Brendon Fraser?
I say if the movie has a 30 million dollar opening weekend or less they are going to go for broke and bank on his star status. I also forgot they did it with Vin Diesel with Fast and the Furious as well as Tony Stark in The Hulk! Last edited by Rocky; 07-17-2009 at 04:50 PM.. |

I doubt it if he's only in such a small one-line seen. Arnold is the face of the title character, the first thing most people have come to mind when you say "Terminator" and Leonard Nimoy's Spock figured into the plot.
As for Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) appearance in The Incredible Hulk, that was to garner the audience that had seen Iron Man a month earlier. And I'm assuming for Fast/Furious you mean for Tokyo Drift, that was to grab fans of the first film. Brendan Fraser doesn't have the same effect, I don't think.

Outside of Quaid he is the most recognizable as well as bankable star in the film - so it makes you wonder.

Ehhh, I highly doubt it. Unlike Tony Stark in Hulk 2 there's no cross-promotional reason to do so. I think Fraser's cameo role is more a result of his familiarity with Stephen Sommers and co. than any attempt to 'cash in' on his status.

I agree that there is no reason to cash in on his celebrity status right now.........but, what if it tanks the first week. They are going to go in a different direction and fast........ then and only then do I think they might break out a commercial to entice fans of his movies.

I think, regardless of how much it opens with, after it opens there will be a commercial with a shot of him.
what they really need to do, though, is release a commercial with Cobra Commander speaking at the end. let people know, hear and even see that Cobra Commander is actually in the movie. |

The thing of it is, wouldn't the footage they could use equal almost his whole scene?
I mean, if rumors are true, he's not on screen all too long.
