Funny. I think that totally works, since it's already the Muppets' brand of humor.

I don't think he actually was fired, and it sounds like Fox spent $25k on some pretty good branding efforts, although gently caress Upworthy and Natureknows for their neo-linkbait headlines.

And seriously, what kind of promotional material could you make with so little?

He did it in agreement with Fox actually.

They said here's this money go make a film about living your dream, he said my dream is to go help typhoon victims and they said here's some money go hog wild. What part of that should he be fired for? They knew exactly what they were buying.

They got exactly what they paid for. The video has more hits than the top 3 results for "Secret Life of Walter Mitty Trailer" combined. They even got some daft posters on one of the biggest internet forums to discuss the video.

A succesful marketing campaign.

I get the idea that Fox is unhappy with the success of Walter Mitty- not this particular video itself.

I can't remember if it was on SA or elsewhere, but a couple of weeks before the release someone made a joke about Fox doing so many free preview screenings that there would be nobody left who wanted to pay to see the film.

Seems to have come true.

Seriously though where did the idea that fox was mad at the guy come from? I'm not seeing anything in any of the links posted that suggested this. Yes Walter Mitty flopped...so? It's not like FOX is going to go back and go "now we're mad about this thing!".

Not only that but I posted an article that explicitly notes that it was all done with Fox's permission.

To be fair, if the movie is about Nick Frost pining about her from a distance, never actually talking to her, then it makes sense that that is how the viewer sees her as well. At least I hope that's the reason.

That would still be classically sexist. If Rashida Jones' character's existence is predicated upon being an object of someone else's affection, then you have a problem.

It's weird, the trailer for this I saw for this at the cinema was almost identical except they've cut all of Jones's lines without altering anything else. Like after Frost says the new boss is a woman there's a line of her talking to him. After he hits her car on his bike she asks if he's ok etc etc. The theatrical trailer made it look kinda lame, this makes it look creepy.

She's just a new American boss so that isn't the issue.

This is a new trailer, different from the one taken down. I think it's better, and I like Lana Del Rey's version of once Upon A Dream. It reminds me of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in the trailer for Dead Space.
