... has been fantastic, and pretty much unanimous: you love it. I can't tell you how pleased I am and also how thrilled that so many people from this blog community clearly showed their support on YouTube. More than 8000 people have watched the trailer so far online and today it rose to 5th Top Favourite globally, before transferring to the "This Week" pages. So far so outstanding... I'm over the moon that the trailer is out there now and people everywhere can start getting a feel for Straightheads.
Other news: There's a new poster design on the way, Verve felt the old one didn't quite work anymore, so let's see what Empire Design come up with now. I should get a preview tomorrow, and of course as soon as I've got an approved final design from Verve I'll post it, which could be next week, I'm guessing. I'll update again as soon as I have any news...
I would have loved to see the "old" one since it has been kept secret :D
Anyway well I'm happy for you and for this response!
Keep going and take care!

Well, the more we boost, the more people see....the more people want. It's pretty much fundamental to getting this thing going. Well I say that but as soon as this hits TV and the cinema trailers it will go through the roof. But interest now, will just increase peoples look on it :D
Yeh, i am slowly counting the days. I just want to chill out on the *new* chairs at the cinema and watch a movie I have been waiting for for about a year now.
You certainly have us on hooks Dan. Fair play to you mate :)

It's great to hear that the response to the Straightheads trailer has been so positive and that it's showing through the viewing figures, the comments made by the viewers, and the times its been added to someones Favourites! Music to my ears!
To have had a hand in helping get this trailer such recognition has been a great pleasure and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. :-)

Dan, I want you to know something. On Tuesday I had my first College day. It just started. I'm studying Cinema/Motion Pictures. And Wednesday, the professor asked us to make a list of our 10 favorites directors of all time and hand it over to him. :D
I had to put you on my list! After all this writing-reading-waiting here on the blog, and how you've been so thoughtful to us and, the trailer is so amazing... and i NEED to see this movie! LOL Well, just wanted you to know. ;)
Thank you for all the news you've been posting. :D

Hi Dan,
thanks once more to share the news to us and I loved the old poster but if will be changed, I think it´s because something with much more impact is coming up.
Some friends of mine, that are not Gillian´s fans, like a lot the trailler and says that will go to the cinema to see the movie.
I like to share to you something..I criated a community for the film on orkut :) I think it´s good to share this information not only with you but with the friends that come here too.

So, I check this site quite often but I've never commented. I figured I should stop being lazy. I usually don't do anything account related on YouTube, but the the Straightheads trailer is the first thing I've ever rated and favorited. It's amazing :D You've done an amazing job building up the hype. Can't wait for the film!
Posted by: Jillian | 02/09/2007 at 02:38 AM
Hey Dan...
found this link through Gillian's Official Website and I've watched the trailer and that is absolutely a trilling movie! Amazing! Wish that I could watched it over my country :(
